I admit I haven’t kept a close eye on news but I have wondered if BJ might not come back at all. It’s a pretty serious injury.

Im saying if Nick Cotric's tackle is the 31st worst tackle in NRL history, as opposed to the 8th worse, it equates to about a 0.00000004% difference in terms of the dataset we're talking about. Me saying it's one of the worst tackles we've seen is accurate. It's immaterial! If you're so god damn hun...

We dont have to worry about goalkicking. Croker isnt going anywhere, so this dicussion, if it is indeed what the OP intends and for this to be a real discussion about the outside backs moving forward, the one thing we should just put in pen is Croker at centre. Because that's were he'll be, Stuart h...

PigRickman

All that aside, and even through your own admission that is what ? 6 out of 4 years... out of a 20 year window. I know I don't need to explain statistics to you? No you dont, but someone prompts me to say "is this one of the 10 worst you've seen" and i think about it and say "yeah, i think it is" b...

It's out of scope because im not spending my night tracking down highlight videos and news articles to get a bloody look at a bunch of grade 2 incidents, almost all of which will not sniff Nic. If you want to do that, and post them, ill comment, as i did the Peachey one but im not doing that ****! h...

PigRickman

He's got a long way to go for mine to do for this club what Schif did
That guy CARRIED this organisation for years. CNK is a 8.5 or more / 10 in every facet of the game bar one. But it's a very important part of a fullback's game.
Im excited to see how he goes developing that last piece of the puzzle.

PigRickman

First off, im giving you one of the Fa'aosa tackles (i think it was the second?) and the LOD tackle. Those IMO, were as or more dangerous than Cotric's. And im going to give you the peachy one as being as bad if not worse. The Thiaday one, the player is dumped on his shoulder, not his head. Which is...

PigRickman

So, just checking... you're removing the throws graded as 2 or below? * checks notes * including the Peachey grade 2 and the Thaiday grade 1 that only last night you agreed were in the spectrum. It's okay if you want to contradict yourself by now excluding those two, I just wanted to double check. ...

PigRickman

Hahaha this is one of the more pointless discussions I've ever seen considering how subjective the term "one of the worst tackles I've ever seen" is, but tute on, Pig and gerg… tute on!! Haha he’s hung up on a turn of phrase and thinks he has an “I gotcha” moment It’s really insane because as said,...

PigRickman

With all due respect what has he achieved coaching wise with the Raiders yet? The back end of 2016 and this season so far have been good but this is over how many years This doesn't warrant an extension at this stage. We as a club should be pushing for a high level of sustained performance. I hope ...

PigRickman

Yeah basically Simo is going to play anytime a back is out. Because if it's CNK, you'd move Raps or Cotric there, with Simo playing the wing, if one of the wingers is out, he's an easy swap and if one of the centres is out, Cotric goes in and Simo takes his wing spot If that's how it plays out, Simo...

PigRickman

Yeah that's a fair call too.

PigRickman

I know we’re supposedly moving in a different direction. But if the new Titans coach want to move Boyd on I’d consider getting him back in if they pay plenty of freight and we could get him for 350k a year or so. Yes the more mobile pack is helping. But having that one big boy on the bench who only...

PigRickman

I think Cap wise, if Rapana is willing to stay for 400-450k, keeping him makes the most sense and then we've got Simmonson to play when CNK, Rapana, Cotric, Beej or Croker are unavailable due to injury/suspension/rep duties... which probably means he's playing more than half the season in firsts And...

PigRickman

You said we wouldn't be able to find 10 in the time you had watched the game, And you're still yet to do that. Now the number is 30? Where the hell will these goalposts end up? No, the number is still 10. I'm just making the point that even if the number WAS 30, and you could find 30 (and you cant,...

PigRickman

I think a big thing to remember here is that in 2008/2010/2012/2016 at this time of the season, making the Top 8 (let alone the Top 4!) was a distant hope, and really relied on us going on an insane run of good form That’s a HUGE difference from where we are this season, and it’s such a satisfying ...

PigRickman

2. Cotric 3. Croker 4. Beej 5. Rapa or Simo if he leaves.

Next.

PigRickman

Haha, **** ridiculous.

PigRickman

Personally I think Cotric should still have 4-5 weeks with no priors for that tackle. I don’t think it’s intentional, but it doesn’t matter, there has to be strong disincentive to get that result out of the game. I don’t think 3 weeks quite cuts that. Yeah i agree Ive got no problem with it in cont...

PigRickman

The first two I concede but the last one (origin) is by far the worst. One tackler lifts him up and the second tackler drags him straight back down head first. Anything could have happened there. That's 3 in 2016 and a 'fan video' is hardly definitive of the season as a whole. So a minimum of 3 in ...

PigRickman

At about 1.50 a warriors player on a knights player, Lands SLAP bang on his back, he's horizontal, nothing close to vertical. There is NO chance you truly believe that tackle is worse. None. Dangerous position? Absolutely but landing on your back is not even in the same class as the head. Christ qu...

Was always annoyed he had to retire. Such a big pop on the unexpected entrances with that sick intro. I've weirdly got his entrance song on my ipod that sometimes comes on, i loved him so much. :( In the last clip that I mentioned... 2016 big hits there is 4 worse tackles.

I wouldn’t agree to that, zim
He's made a moo point there.

And just for the record these are the 10 worst spears I've ever seen:

They arent all worse! and even if they were his TACKLE WOULD STILL BE ONE OF the worst i've seen Marrrrone. This is next level. PS. Please dont edit this GE PPS (also, really dont edit this, the point needs emphisising because, clearly... well it needs emphisising) PPPS. Please dont edit this GE

I honestly cant believe we're doing this. This place finds new ways to amaze me. It really does.
I've got to speak to iinet tomorrow about getting my service shut down, i think ive stumbled into some dark web cult thing here.

PigRickman

Just so im clear... GE has posted videos of half a dozen tackles since 1980... and lets for arguement say they are all worse than Nic's 6 odd tackles in near 40 years of football, which equates to... Ok, lets say 200 games a year (under cooking it), 300 tackles a game (undercooking it) so 40x200 is ...

PigRickman

Why would anyone argue against that? It's a send off, im sure most of us said that at the time too. How does that mitigate the fact the cotric incident is also worthy of a send off, unless the the contention is the officials were right to keep those players on the field... and that surely cant be w...

PigRickman

I dont recall anyone trying to justify the inconsistencies of the NRL. In fact i think it's been raised a number of times that it's a problem. So i dont really know what on earth you're talking about there, Fergus. So im unable to respond.

PigRickman

Re: TPJ vs Arrow. Im a ceiling fan boi. Freely admit it. And TPJ's ceiling is way higher than Arrows. But there is significant risk with TPJ. You could get the best forward in the world, or an overpaid bum... If you recruited Arrow, the floor is that he's just a damn good state quality footballer. ...

PigRickman

Yeah this definitely feels more sustainable and better suited to finals footy.
Im sure it will end in heartbreak because that's what this club does to us, but it's been a fun ride so far.
