Khawaja

Doolan 2nd in line for mine.

julian87

Making Croker move to wing now would cripple him IMO.

He comes from the the Storm system and has won a premiership. He could turn out to be a better signing than Loxmax and hopefully cheaper.

Christ these are the 2 biggest non events in determining if a player is any good.

Burns should never have been dropped. But with his technique worked over by Pakistan it wasn’t the time for him to be recalled imo.

julian87

Fwiw Sammy Williams became one of a select few Raiders to play first grade ACT cricket on the weekend. Scored 30 odd so must be handy with the willow.

Wrong club though.

julian87

Which is what it should be anyway.

We’re getting to the point where we may as well just start picking NSW + Marnus

Clarkey saying this signing is done on his FB page.
Then adds speculation that BJ is gone

He seems like a 16 yr old nobody from what I’ve read on that page tbh.

julian87

Presuming the price is right, and it can get done in time for a full pre-season, I'm very bullish on this. It seems to me that a tuned-up right side of Leilua outside Scott has a lot to commend it. Opposition left edges would not fancy coming up against that pair and it might allow Simonsson to be ...

Gee those polos look cheap

There would be some dismayed die hards in the old dart. Wayne Bennett has absolutely gutted them. Surely their coach needs to be someone heavily involved in the ESL and England based. The form of the Australian based players is pretty easy to follow and the main 4/5 are walk up starts anyway/

julian87

I think it's either BJ going or Scott will be at #14 in the Simonsen type role. BJ is better than Scott. But if we lose BJ, Scott is a much better pickup than Zac Lomax to strengthen our outside backs That entirely depends on how much you'd be paying them. If you could have Lomax for 230k but need ...

julian87

Christ I hope not Why? I often agree with your opinion on players but I think Scott would be a pretty good signing. Instantly improves our chances against Manly because he WILL shutdown Walker.

julian87

My first initial reaction is that it's unlikely BJ will be here in 2021, so if Scott performs like his ceiling suggests, would anyone disagree with 2. Cotric 3. Croker 4. Scott 5. Simonsson 14. Leilua BJ is big enough to play as a roving forward/runner. Imagine bringing him on with 20 to go in a ti...

GB an absolute disgrace haha

Christ I hope not

Had so many neutrals tell me how horrible it was and I still can’t discuss it without being **** filthy

julian87

Amazon Prime is the most underrated streaming service imo. There’s some really under rated gems on there and a plethora of in depth US sport documentaries which I really enjoy because I generally don’t know the stories to start with.

julian87

Neser is not an all rounder.

And Paine isn’t good enough to bat 6.

6 bats. Paine. 4 bowlers. Lubbers, wade, Smith and Head can send down 20 overs a day between them.

julian87

He wasn’t even picked initially for Aus A so a grafting 50 at 6 shouldn’t have changed anything. It’s ridiculous.

Considering Khawaja averages 60 in Australia he should have just been picked to open with Warner.

Basically every player in line for a test recall failed. At least they all have a 2nd innings coming up.

Can’t see Aus A getting another bat.

julian87

Gee I reckon True Self would’ve given it a shake if it had have got a start.

julian87

Dont worry, ads will come Im old enough to remember why my dad first got Foxtel. No ads in between shows, at the end of shows, to chew up the time between one show and the next they'd run promos for what was on other channels or coming up later on that channel etc... And by the time i cut the cord,...

James Roby has continually and consistently out played Josh Hodgson at international level. That suggestion that Roby is the second best hooker of this generation isn’t as silly as it sounds imo. It is a lot easier to look good coming off the bench fresh when opposition forwards are tired. Ah I gue...

julian87

I'm going to go out on a limb here 9.5 After losing Austin, his shift to 6 meant we lost ball play from fullback and he very quickly became our most important player. We lost a lot of creativity in attack, we essentially lost Leipana and Sezer was steady at best. He was our go to and we made the gra...

julian87

Getting rid of Foxtel and jumping to Kayo is one of the better moves I've made recently. I guess the older generation are a bit different but my household hasn't been watching programmed television for several years now. Unless you're someone without the internet I find it outrageous people aren't w...

This was a really poorly selected tour squad.

Yeah. Absolutely ridiculous. Especially considering how little game time a few of their outside backs had behind them too.

Starc showing why he is the best swing bowler in the country. Fast and moving is impossible to counter

He’s always been world class with a white ball.

Red ball not so much though.

Australian Story worth the watch next week.

julian87

Anyone else not slightly concerned Bennett selected Jackson Hastings hb in front of George? Or does George have an injury I'm not aware of? I'd say it's to do with Hastings being a halfback and Williams a five-eighth honestly./ I was wondering if they were resting some players from the Nines, as Co...

Haha disagree again. Neser is the best bowler of that lot imo. He should be in and around squads as the best current swing bowler in the country.

julian87

That’s the 4th year in a row we don’t play a game in Newcastle. Incredibly frustrating for me being the only ground within 3 hrs from the North Coast.

julian87

Has to be Hodgson's try saver against Souths.
