Josh Reynolds' short kicking game is **** putrid

They had no attack without Reynold's short kicking since he's come back.
Definitely an off day today.

I don't rate Danny Levi or Lachlan Fitzgibbon..I just don't !!! To think that Levi has played test footy... :lol: The Knights have bolstered their pack..Klemmer, Gavet, Glasby, Barnett all have merit. Just 2 years ago the Saifiti bros were starting props... Fitzgibbon was great last year when he wa...

It's nice being lucky / not the "real deal" / not had a real test yet and being 5-1 up. I look forward to maybe being 7-1 up when we face the roosters and still answering those questions.

Jack didn't miskick the ball the gap was closed up by nikorima playing at it. If nikorima didn't get his toe to it we score that easily with 4 raiders the only players near it. I mostly agree with your ratings GE. Jack was rocks and diamonds but in his diamonds were game changers. Sammy didn't have ...

I thought Collins was pretty ordinary Granted he didnt make any errors but he came on at a time where we needed fresh legs to push us forward and get some control back and he just got turtled too easily and the ensuing slow play the balls compounded their dominance He was busy and solid defensively...

3 CNK
2 Bateman
1 Leilua

Thought Cotric had one of his better games with some tough carries. Sutton unlucky to not grab 1.

BYC?
omg, you've missed out on like 4 years worth of lols.

Our Captain Centre is the best young centre in the game.

Hahaha. Ok that makes a lot more sense than backyard cricket.

Then that time he breaks tackles to get us out of our own end when we desperately need it, and the ball pops out

. So frustrating.

zim

I just wanted to come in and highlight Simple Jack's falcon try-assist again. I rewound that multiple times and my abs got a great workout. He head-butted his own kick!!! And we scored off it! :roflmao Pre season I was questioning whether Sia might have hung around a year too long but he is smashin...

zim

Really happy with Williams defense this game. Put on some solid hits and held the shape.
That was a terrible decision by Wighton for their first try. Couldn't get anymore rocks and diamonds if he tried.

zim

Yeah, but what are the pluses? Are they seriously going to say in court “Sure, we’re losing fans because of the alcohol and gambling sponsors, but on the positive, the NRL is making money from alcohol and gambling companies”? The plus is the amount of money. Surely they can't argue those 2 things a...

zim

It's only valid if you think there's no plus to the NRL gaining those sponsorship dollars. What's the plus for the NRL if JDB plays? Zero.
Sure the money could come from cleaner sources but the NRL obviously thinks the money is worth the cons.

zim

Titans have AJ Brimson for fullback. He should be there already but I assume they're managing him / dealing with injuries.

zim

This is men vs boys. A big reason the broncos are floundering is their middle has an average age of 12. 20 - Payne Hass 23 - Joe Ofahengaue 19 - David Fifita 19 - Thomas Flegler 21 - Patrick Carrigan 21 - Jaydn Su'A Staggs is 20 and Shibasaki is 21. We should be bullying them out of this like we ha...

You'll get no arguments from me about his poor bench use.

zim

Good episode guys.
Disagree about the broncs. The legends have been tearing strips for weeks and nothing has come of it. With Lodge and TPJ also out we should definitely be winning this. If we don't win it's because of our own form rather than theirs.

zim

Nice work Matt. Fifita isn't being used as an 80min player as he doesn't have 1st grade fitness yet. They should still be trying to get more out of him though.
Seibold's bench use is generally pretty poor.

zim

I wouldn't be too worried about Guler. He's on a 3 year deal. We didn't sign him to that just for the hell of it. He'll get game time this year at some stage in the regular rotation and origin. You'd have to think there's also going to be a downturn in squad form for a few weeks at some point. A pre...

Keghead on the port and lemonade again.

I'd never even heard of that. What a terrible thing to do to port.

zim

The Broncos have struggled against teams that have defended well and gone through the middle. We should be winning this game in a similar way to how we've won the last few. In behind the ruck, defend your mistakes. Don't panic. More specifically stay active in defense on their 5th tackle if your kic...

3 CNK - Some really hard kicks to take and he had no errors. Stopped some tries. Dangerous when running. 2 Soliola - Really settled us down and was punishing in defense. 1 Papalii - Finally got us some points and laid a solid platform. Looking at other voters the points are all over the place. Not ...

This is doing the rounds on social media and in my group chat:

That's from the Bateman head clash.
Sloth looks more like Sam Burgess.

Are you saying there might be common genetics there? Crowe has fathered all Burgii and Ferguson?

zim

Whether you want Williams or Sezer as your main man I wouldn't be releasing the other unless I absolutely had to. Williams / Wighton, Sezer / Wighton is way better than Hingano / Wighton. That depth is great for plenty of reasons.

Stats tonight from some of the players gunning for a Blues jersey

Cotric
121m
7 tackle breaks
1 line break

Wighton
1 try
3 tackle breaks
28 tackles

Ferguson
1 pre-game vom
1 broken nose
3 busted ribs

The biggest issue with the way Hodgson is playing is what do you do as one of his runners? Close to the line we've got 2 runners that need to time what is going on. If you're going to put in your 3rd shimmy jink you then need to hit the correct option and when he does he's not hitting often enough (...

zim

Yeah that was a great tackle. Definite improvement on his past efforts.

zim

No mistakes and great positioning are huge positives too. The rest of the stuff can come later. You wouldn't believe he can improve his involvement based on his stats but it's going to happen as he gets more game time back there. He hasn't peaked yet.

Because once Williams breaks that shape it doesn't really matter. He goes off by himself and creates problems for everyone around him by doing it. If he maintains that shape he might even be there to get in the way.
Austin got crucified for it last year. Why shouldn't Williams?

zim

This is a ridiculous discussion. While Sezer and Williams are both fit, ONE of them is going to be on the extended bench for the rest of the season, as they're both in our Top 21. Why is this even a debate?? Have you ever heard of a little team called the ROOSTERS? They've won games this year with ...

zim

He may have been instructed to completely disregard our defensive shape?
There's plenty of reasons during a game to come out of the line but a coach telling your weakest defender to go head hunting is not one of them.

Who'd win the skin between Papalii and Paulo?

I'd assume it'd be a draw. Similar stats.
