all their origin guys will play big minutes, its not like barney as 19th man or whatever.
i'd almost be more worried if traitor todd stood them all down and challenged his backups to get hyped and do what we just did, rather than roll out a bunch of tired stars.
Its 100% the time to go on a run, team will be mostly healthy after the bye and they should be fizzing after the cup players saved their ass the last fortnight.
Has the feel of last year, at the time of the first bye we were 6-5, -6 pts diff not that different to 5-1-6 -3 pts diff (and we had...
Lussick and Kosi were the only two that made me nervous, Freddy did do enough to get dal over (he was calling for it)
Assume Tohu, egan, capewell, Johnson, afb, cnk and berry will be back in and jazz (couldn’t have tried harder but Ale probably is more useful in a short stint, lussick, laban...
So hearty they knew had the better of them and didn’t panic. Good leadership from the halves.
Phins will do well to make the 8, farnworth was giving us nightmares, but their forwards are sub par (old mate aitken probably their best) and as good as katoa is for a youth he is on the ball A LOT...
Can we manufacture 3-4 tries with a pure backup spine, last week makes me think we can, now they aren’t just doing the 3 trademark SJ moves on the right side. Dolphins will kick to their wingers and centres can Monty and MGT come down with the ball. Not too worried about the forwards.
Phins are Phraudulent, they may beat us as we have half our salary cap sitting watching (or sulking at home), but I think we’ll finally have a comfortable win at home
WTF is tracksuit cam on about, talk to the prime minister? Get back to your day job.
All the nrl is trying to do is make sure the likes of the Timoko to Canberra pathway is expanded upon, it's not to help your club.
On AFB
1. Don’t really believe it - he’s been our best player this year, one game doesn’t change that.
2. Would rather pay him to sit on the sidelines than play for the sharks, or base himself in sydney and FIFO to mt smart, skip training at times.
Anything that is not we let an extremely...
...getting the shovels out, just means they can proceed to costing it properly (really, actually properly this time) and pass the tin around to fund it*,
Its inevitable a process with so much public interest would get leaked, (sounds like the bids are leaking themselves) its not a bad thing to...
yeah i dont think you can have brown and johnson at the same time with the way the money is spread around the squad. could definately have one succeed the other. he'd be 25 at the start of the 2026 season, heaps of good years ahead.
if your brown its probably smart to see what happens with the...
Capewah been an absolute lemon, can only hope that a few weeks off gets him back on track.
At the start of last year even though the team hadn't clicked yet, Ford and Barnett were effective players could see they would bring something - seen nothing other than kick chase from kurt.
He was an...
definitely learn the cam smith hug and flop, JFH should be good for protecting him in terms of line speed and leading the contact, addin saves himself for attack and tohu saves himself in general, see the dom young huge line break from last week, lussick is the first one to make contact and gets...
Seems like finally the rugby league gods gave us a break, finally the opposition played down a level, play in enough close games eventually one goes your way. was panicking they were going to find a reason to deny the TT try.
Full credit to the boys. Team selection would just be who is...
Think I’m gonna check the full time score before watching this one. they haven’t had their come to Jesus moment yet. They should’ve/could’ve won in the last 2 minutes the last 2 weeks, juuuust enough there to say it could be turned around.
conditions favour the conservative way we've been playing, our OBs will have more meters and we have the better halfback.
But! The way things have been going, this is probably the week they decide to sling it about and complete at 50%
