Re: 2024 NRL Round 4: Teams and Game Day

I’m just disappointed this guy was on the books for as long as he was but it took one game for the Panthers to be referred to as Schneider-Man

This just brings up the disappointment that nothing ever eventuated from the ball technology to detect forward passes.

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day

If we have to have Levi in the side then I like the idea of him being paired with Woolford. This would allow Trev to start in NSW Cup and Starling can practice his impact of the bench. Woolford off the bench in the NRL would give us a bit more creativity around the ruck. Why rely on Starling to run ...

Piastri is always giving that spot up because he's the number 2 driver in the number 2 car. Some teams like Ferrari "let em race" on occasion. McLaren don't. All their top tier work goes into giving Lando Norris the best chance this season. One of the most extreme driver 1 vs driver 2 exa...

Re: The Motorsport Thread

Was not a big fan of the strategy given to Piastri. They pitted him way too early to start the race and then on his second set of tyres they pitted him way too late which was a huge factor in his wide run into the penultimate corner costing him 4 seconds. To make this worse the team also gave away o...

Re: 2024 Rd 4 v Sharks: Teams and Previews

I don’t see where Puru’s future is. He is too small to play exclusively as 13 in the NRL. I could see him playing a 2nd hooker/lock role similar to Havali but you would have think if this was his pathway we would see him playing some 9 in Cup. Currently we have too many average hookers blocking up o...

That was a good performance against the Warriors. But they were without Egan, CNK, Dylan Walker and Niukore, all first graders. Their FB also failed his HIA. We should have beaten them.

That was a frustrating game. Looked like our outside backs were playing on ice.

Hoppa and Whitehead kill what little attack we have.

Have we thought about standing deeper on scrum plays?

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day

I’ll take going into half time only down by 2.

Rapa having a tough game, he has been targeted.

Strange not having his best day but has not dropped his head.

Levi really faded towards the end of that half.

100% agree. I am ok With Whitehead starting and Hosking on the bench, as long as Whitehead is there to eat up the first 20 or so minutes of the tough stuff and then a fresh Hosking is put out there to reap the rewards. Big issue I have is Red not selected and Guler and Saulo picked over Ata and Moon...
