Re: Mal Meninga in line for bombshell South Sydney coaching appointment

Wow, JD has the "full support of the board" but we're just making a short-list of his replacement.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024

I'd take Schuster in a heartbeat. Needs to be some tight parameters in place and the right price but his upside is greater than any other second rower available and probably most in the competition. His ball playing and skill is off the charts. I'd be pretty confident that guys like Papalii and Tap...

Re: Manly Sea Eagles 2024

Similar to that young bloke at the sharks. All the wraps in the world, ie next SBW and a big contract and I don't think he ever saw NRL. Karl Filiga or something close to that?

Re: Parramatta Eels still hoping to hold onto Raiders target Ethan Sanders

I think the "GOAT debate" (Johns, JT, Locky, Stuart,Smith, etc.) Need its own thread... Cronk was better than JT. JTs career was over rated. Great player yes but not deserving to be on this list. This is crazy talk. Yeah I think JT is better in just about every sense or facet. More creati...

Re: 2024 Round 5 v Eels: Game Day

I only watched the game last night. Nice to see some long range tries and the team go on with it. Plenty to like but Eels were dreadful. That's the worst I've seen them play for quite a few years. They didn't get off the bus. Makes me nervous for this weekend. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

God it is great to have some speed back in the team.

It's better than a lot of rugby league content, but that isn't saying much. Matty's round wrap and his very brief analysis isn't bad. He knows his stuff.

Re: 2024 NRL Round 5: Teams and Game Day

I took Robbo's whinging more as a dig at the lack of consistency. He's not wrong on that.

But if the MRC or judiciary is looking at video of examples of a variety of high shots that swinging arm is the template for what should be a send off.

Re: 2024 NRL Round 5: Teams and Game Day

Actually now watching the presser I kind of agree with him. I'm not suggesting it shouldn't be a send off but he is right in saying that plenty of high tackles like that are just a penalty or sinbin.

I think Hudson-Young has drifted away from what made him successful and reverted to that guy that debuted - the one that looked for the big play, easy option too often.
