Infrared Sauna & plunge pool with the Mrs tonight. Been a long time since I've had a sauna. Good return for doing bugger all. Might have to do it more often
Yeah would assume so. Both played NZA last year. If my memory is correct then ZDC was the 7 & Roache 14 (Levi at 9). ZDC's ability to play 13 might give him the edge
He seems like a genuine #7 & will either be given, or earn himself a gig elsewhere. Another year under SJ would have been the ideal pathway but either Webster didn't see him as SJ's heir or Volkman got impatient.
Zero games in 2024 to go along with some lean/covid interrupted years in 2022 (13...
I like the guy & if he was SJ's understudy this year I'd probably still be high on him for 2025 but with what has occured & our mix of halves I wouldn't be chasing him. He may have a 3W-2L record but one of those wins was in our homecoming against the hapless Tigers & in another he was hooked...
39.1 mins (101.4m pg) in a losing side, & in one of these games he started at Second Row & ran for his fewest metres all year.
38.6 mins (104m pg) across the entire season.
There's sure to be a dummy half option on a Development contract for us (Aloua/Laiman/Tafua) in 2025, like Sommerton was for the Panthers this year too, so options are a plenty
I might've incorrectly taken your statement as saying he's a bit of a flat track bully. Apologies if that's not the case but statistically he averaged 104m pg this year. Solely in losing matches (10) it was 101.4m. Seems pretty consistent, regardless of the teams form, considering 5 of those...
On the back of chat of us being an outlier in carrying 3 specialist Hookers in our Top 30 why don't the NRL just make it a Top 36 rather than a Top 30 as your Development players, often referred to as Supplementary players these days, can play from Round 1 & can be in their late 20's like Kalani...
Canberra carried Woolford, Levi & Starling all in their Top 30 in 2023 but saw sense & Woolford was demoted to a NSW Cup contract this year.
Broncos have Walters, Mozer, Smoothy & Paix in their Top 30 for 2024. Paix (last time in 2019) & Walters (2022) can cover halves but the Broncos aren't an...
I don't mind watching the Sharks. Wouldn't call myself a fan however. I don't understand the relevance if I was in fact a fan?
Yes, baseless is a good description.
Fitzgibbon wanted him to renege on his deal once he got a chance to coach Metcalf. I'm sure the club wanted to ensure they gave...
Just worked out Lussick's +/-, off the bench this season. Thought it was going to look extremely poor after doing the numbers from Rd 1 where we went from 12-0 up to a 12-16 defeat after he joined the game.
Overall the team ended up +11 points across his 224 bench minutes this season
No doubt. Surely @Leon Black isn't one of them peddling baseless crap like Metcalf was black balled by the Sharks because he signed with us & insinuating Healey is receiving the same treatment.
In 2022 the Sharks played 26 games & between Hynes/Moylan they missed a total of 3 games on their way...
How do we reckon David Seymour will react when the man who was ACTing up with kids losses his name suppression?
It'll be a stern test of his leadership
It's not a guesstimate. Healey may have played 14 Jersey Flegg games (2 of these after the Jets missed the playoffs) in 2023 but in his 12 NSW Cup games that season, & also throughout 2024, he's been behind Berrell in the pecking order.
I'm not trying to debate who'd be a better signing so...
Might not be everyone's cup of tea but I've enjoyed the first hour or so.
The guest is the son of Brian Smith & he was the Roosters S&C when they won a title

A lot of clubs could do worse than target both the Puru brothers. To the best of my knowledge Hohepa has a mutual option with the Raiders for 2025 & Niwhai doesn't have anything signed. Both only 22 (not twins though)
We've won 4 of 16 games Lussick's started.
His impact off the bench is so impotent that on 3 occasions Webster has decided not to use him at all in a game
That seems a bit avoidant.
So TMP's policy would see "most", or an increase, of all New Zealander's on a benefit? Or just an increase in Māori on the benefit?
Help me understand
