The team with the best chance of winning this week imo: 1. Rapana 2. Savage 3. Kris 4. Timoko 5. Crotic 6. Strange 7. Cook 8. Mooney 9. Woolford 10. Tapine 11. Young 12. Whitehead 13. Smithies 14. Weekes 15. Papalii 16. Mariota 17. Saulo I’d like to see what a Tapine/Mooney starting front row partne...

Semi Valemei stinking it up deluxe for the Cowboys. Never forget just how hard our coaching staff tried to make him a thing, despite all evidence pointing to the reality that the guy is simply hopeless at rugby league His moment when he tried to kick the ball off a bomb was classic Semi :lol: The g...

Rickmando

I’m all for shooting for upside - if you’re making bets, bet on the athletic guys. (Argument cuts the other way against Hoppa, for example). The issue with Semi was that Rick persisted with him too long. It was obvious that Semi had zero football IQ, terrible hands and defensive lapses. And like so ...

Separate topic, but what's the deal with AFL? I mean, I've tried to watch it over the years, but the game just sucks. The fact that no-one plays it outside of Australia tells me it's a dumb game compared to cricket/soccer/basketball/etc, but the Victorians in particular are mad for it. They get abs...

Rickmando

Probably not. I’m generalising, but the vibe seems to be that all 3 are special talents that will have us challenging for a premiership in a few years, rather than feeling they might just be average first graders. You’d absolutely love them to be rep players, amongst the really elite. You bring the...

Rickmando

Haha I’m cynical like Colk. It’s probably not a healthy mindset or attitude to have, but I guess the difference is thinking all the juniors are overrated and then being pleasantly surprised when a couple prove you wrong feels better than thinking all the juniors are going to be rep quality elite pl...

Now that it seems likely Fifita will be on the move, I can’t help but feel we may have missed a trick not making him a can’t-refuse-big-money offer. Firstly second row for us is a premium position. We will never have great halves so its extra important that we have great second rowers if we’re to d...

Point out features of the ramp he may have missed the first time around?
Like excellent coaching?

Well, I’m sure Rick has already mentioned that one.

What about the mountain bike tracks?

Sanders, Chevy, Strange… who knows what kind of careers they will end up having, but for their first season or so in the top grade the only scouting paradigm you need is the following: - have they demonstrated talent in lower grades/junior rep levels? Yes. - are they demonstrating effort and charact...

Rickmando

For all the complaining about successful clubs like the Panthers and the Roosters. As organisations they are far more professional than us. There are a lot of things completely within this club’s control that we could improve upon if we wanted to take a leaf from their books. But as long as we are r...

Gus - he’s right you know.

Now that it seems likely Fifita will be on the move, I can’t help but feel we may have missed a trick not making him a can’t-refuse-big-money offer. Whilst he plays a non-premium position, he’s still a difference maker/match winner that we could afford the luxury of while we have a relatively cheap...

Can we play Cook. Even if we upgrade him. By all reports he was very good on the weekend . I know Weekes won't be dropped but for the dynamics, having an actual halfback would be better. Maybe slot Weekes onto the bench But we’ve been told before we can’t change a winning team*! (*except for the ti...

How soon?

Next week??

Rickmando

Can’t see us getting within 20 points of the Sea Eagles tonight. And even if we do - we all know it’ll be down to another one of these classic Rick rah-rah ambush response performances rather than anything sustainable. It shouldn’t take getting a 40-blot shellacking at home to elicit some effort an...

I’m confused now - do we want DCE and Turbo in our spine or not?

Because those guys are losers

Rickmando

Danny Levi wishes he could put a ball on the chest that well

Well crafted try there

Whitehead is not fit enough to play NRL, yet, there he is. The Raider's look like a rudderless ship yet again under the master coach. Mate, Manly just has better players across the park than us and are better drilled, you can hardly blame a coach of 11 years for that We should get off his back. He’...

Halftime message?

“Bleed green, stay in the grind”??

Another clueless attacking set in the 20 (audible groan)

Rickmando

Referee wants to make this one about him. Pathetic. I know, if only we could get a call or two - we’d be right in this!!! I think we would be. It's been horrible refereeing. Good to see you blame the refs as a diversion for the poor performance. Gee I wonder whose playbook you nicked that one from!...

Rickmando

The only way we’re scoring - when only a handful of manly players are defending the line!

RR steaming in off the back fence! Love it. Your conundrum is found in your opening line Red. The policy isn’t that we pick the best player in the position - we pick the best bloke in each position!
