This is such a weird mindset/rumour. It was all due to Naden’s brain explosion is the first final. But still I think it just have hurt the team’s mentality and thrown in the thought that things needed to be patched over to win the comp despite winning 16 straight. 17 Nope. They’d won 16 when he dro...

julian87

I’m pretty confident Timoko and HSS will be better players than Naden. In the short term too probably.

julian87

It’s a tough topic Sadly though there’s a big chance of stagnating if Stuart doesn’t back some young outside backs early next season.

julian87

It takes balls from a coach to make hard decisions but the Naden/May call was a defensive and poor decision imo. If he’d lost all faith in May he should’ve reverted to Whare but it also appears Ivan doesn’t rate him either. Using a stop gap utility centre when you have 2 first grade standard ones in...

julian87

Not enough emphasis on Ivan's decision to have Naden on the bench for the last two games. You mean Nathan's decision to start his best mate.

The amount of people on socials saying the refs favored Melbourne is crazy. I thought most of the calls, at least in the first half, were on point. And the worst calls definitely went against Melbourne. The non shepherd call is one of the worst I’ve ever seen. I can’t help but think the lack of fait...

julian87

Whare sucks He had this reputation for a little while as a really good centre, i never saw it. And as quick as that narrative bubbled up, he was shunted back to reserve grade where he belong and has barely been sighted since. At his best, he was just another guy who could do a job for you as injury...

julian87

This might be harsh but there’s really not spot to carry him business wise. Timoko and HSS > Kris by some margin imo.

julian87

Yeah look, don't want to **** on Jack as it's a monumental achievement given our last player to win one was Loz in '95 if the leaks are true, but still.... he'd be the most undeserved winner in a while. Why? He led his team to the preliminary final with virtually no other creative attacking option ...

Lol Tohu Harris.

Didn’t even play second row

It’s just a minimum wage fullback back up signing I guess isn’t it.

julian87

Like everyone else. Happy to see sammy go on to bigger and better things. There seem to be plenty of promising halves that we should be able to pick up cheaply, eg Sean O'Sullivan who apparently wont be resigned by the broncos I’d actually suggest a couple of out there replacements for Williams. I ...

julian87

I think the game plan will and should be pretty simple. Punch through the guts with short (and lots of inside) passing same as last week to try and tire NAS and co. Even if Finucane returns because he’ll be short of a trot too. And then in attack keep going left and putting pressure on Brenko Lee an...

julian87

Manly have been garbage too, yet Jake T has been putting out rep quality performances all year. I'd have Jake, Murray, Crichton, Finucane, Yeo, Martin, Sironen, even Josh bloody Jackson well ahead of Frizzell this year. And that's just off the top of my head and I've probably forgotten at least ano...

I hope that the Raiders enter a team in the NSW Cup, but it isn't clear what will happen with lower tier footy. The most recent indications from Don Furner was that we'd either look for another association with a NSW Cup team (Mounties have gone to the Bulldogs, Wentworthville was tested for their ...

The silliest part of that is that he's from the Hunter Valley isn't he?

More interested in Elijah Anderson tbh. Played 20s Origin last year, big fast thing, good build for a winger. According to a Canberra Times article today we have just signed him to a train and trial arrangement. We are certainly working towards redeveloping our backline. :thumbsup Yep! Was poorly w...

julian87

Something that hasn't really been mentioned and IMO made us look like we had another dimension was John Bateman playing that roving role he did more often when we had Sezer who was more hemmed in on the right. It was a great bit of play to put CNK into the gap for the second try and that right to le...

Don't think I've ever been prouder of a Canberra footy team. And I love players stepping up and making me look stupid. George Williams has really started to adapt this last month and just plays to the game plan perfectly. Valemei was absolutely sensational. Ridiculously good for a kid how bloody sol...

I am very worried about this game. One of the best attacking edges in the competition up against Williams and Rapana at centre. Tupou matched up with Cotric for attacking kicks. The Flanagan/Keary kicking combination with both wings being suitable targets. James Tedesco from second phase. As a fan y...

julian87

Cotric while held aloft as some sort of superstar in our side has looked pretty ordinary this season if we want to objectively compare him to the in form wingers in the competition. I could not disagree more with this. He's been top of the tree this season. He's played outside a halfback with no ba...

julian87

He's pretty ordinary IMO and doesn't look suited to anywhere but fullback.

It's a solid no from me.

julian87

No David Klemmer is a **** ridiculous. Should be the first forward picked for NSW including **** Cordner. Kent's story about him sulking last year just leads me to believe Klemmer actually realizes this. Should have never been left out then either. This series will be a debacle. The Qld squad is dis...

julian87

This is an interesting conversation. It's odd. The injuries to Guler and Horsburgh may just give the club a bit of extra time on them with them out of the limelight currently. I know some players like Sutton, Lui and Soliola have done great things this year, and James comes on board.... but they're ...

julian87

I think the Melbourne system pulling the wool will be even more evident when Brenko Lee is named in the Qld Origin squad in a few weeks tbh.

julian87

We'd win.. rather comfortably I love Jack and he's an incredible footballer. Keary is the best half in the game Yep - agree. Jack's got buckets of talents, always has, is clearly far more gifted physically, and has come a long way in recent times. Still, he's not in the same league as Keary. I thin...

I think he has a long way to go to get there with genuine pundits. Playing centre or second row for Melbourne is probably the easiest attacking position to look good in in the competition.

julian87

Scott is definitely an exception to the rule though. An exception that stands out like dog’s balls too.

julian87

I’m actually of the opinion that with some attention payed to his defense he could have a red hot finish to his career as a centre.

julian87

I reckon Easts were a fair bit dudded last night and were, at worst, on par with Penrith. I actually think they were the better team over all. 2 of Penrith’s tries we’re pretty blatantly wrong calls from the officials imo. Also. How many set restarts were there all game? How obvious is it that would...

julian87

The thing is...If the Panthers beat the Roosters they will be in panic mode and I think they will be beatable imo I think seeing them drop SBW shows they are already in a panic.

Tbf lit is the worst home Jersey the club has ever had, including the Ozemail design imo.
