Good to see Todd Smith is as blind as ever

love how dogs like to spread the ball on early tackles. guess they have xerri and crichton to enable that but its still nice to see nrl teams be more adventurous rather than just pass it to prop/wings for early yardage.

Broncos looking pretty good. I have them top 4 if they don't get any injuries to key players

 

[Jonesy69]

No Zyon Maiu’u for the bulldogs? Is he that far down the pecking order

Reckon if panthers can get over broncos and storm this year, they’re the greatest we’ll see for some time

They already are imo. They are even more heavily reliant on Cleary staying fit now with no Luai to cover.

yeah think so. he looked pretty average last week. Is definately behind Suluka-Fifita based on that performance.

 

[Inruin]

Cobbo looking fitter than I have seen him before

 

[Noitall]

Ben Te Kura looks like he might live up to the hype. Sent Burton flying who isn’t small. Think nfl is having a look at him

 

[tajhay]

thats stupid. Shouldnt have been binned for that.

I already don't like the new interpretations this season

retrospective sin binning doesnt appeal to you?

Not at all. Don't like the make an attempt to play the ball interpretation. Don't like the use of the sin bin. I'm marginal on the obstruction rule.

Didn't realise keano kini was that old?

Aw man I think the play the ball enforcement has been a good change. Makes the wrestle more important as they no longer can just roll it between the legs. Also slows things down just enough imo.

100% agree on the sin bin. Awful rule, only positive being critta would of been sin binned for that awful tackle on Roger last year.

I'm all for cracking down on the play the ball but do it right, play it with your foot ffs

Ah, yeah fair.

 

[Mr Drag]

Montoya looked outclassed in the Bulldogs game and It was Trial game!

 

[Jonesy69]

Roosters look like shit

 

[Worried2Death]

No reason RTS can't be our Daniel Tupou, doesn't have the height but Tupou doesn't have Roger's step either. Still a place for old man wingers.
