Re: 2022 Finals Week 1 V Storm: Game Day

I just hope Ricky didn't put all of his egg in one basket to win tonight? Using Tarps for the entire first half and playing long minutes. There is more teams/games to come. But the Emre and the Hors held their own. Some of the wing/compressed defence is a worry Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk ...

Re: 2022 Finals Week 1 V Storm: Game Day

That was simply epic. I want to make special mention of Savage who's stats will say he was quiet. But he was everything he wasn't in his first 6 games. I'm so impressed by his development.

Re: Josh Hodgson reportedly stood down as co-captain two weeks ago

The NRL360 team also called out the form and efforts of Papalii and Tapine. They basically said that Tapine’s bench time reflects his form not mismanagement. Spot on, what I've been saying all along. He should be in the side but his time and position currently reflects his form. As much as I love H...
