I don’t think signing Douehi is a positive move for them tbh. really? I thought he looked impressive considering he got shuffled around last year as a rookie, was pretty dangerous against us in the semi Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk He’s one of a long list of random over rated Sydney based p...

I really like Gigot as a player but I’m not sure he’d slot in at NRL level. Could possibly play a Simonsson role off the bench.

julian87

Maxwell and Mitch Marsh should be in the team for Turner and Agar tbh

Ashton Tuner belongs nowhere near the Australian team

He doesn’t look comfortable at all.

We are missing a big hitter big time. To put Mitch Starc in at 3rd drop is full blown ridiculous.

Disagree. I think it was a very good ploy that didn’t come off.

If Leilua starts the year at Mounties, it is up there with TLL and Campo as huge calls Ricky has made on big name players. I’ll back him. We aren’t losing much by replacing him with Scott.

Could not disagree more.

Top tier centre for a mediocre one imo.

So to take a leap and assume Sticky IS holding a grudge - would it be the lazy defence for the match winning try or the non-pass for what would have been the match winning try? I might be in the minority but I don't think BJ was lazy in defence before the Roosters scored their match winner. I think...

I think the writing was on the wall after the manly game where he gave away the penalty for the 8 point try Sent from my ELE-L29 using Tapatalk Hmm you wouldn’t continue to pick someone into a finals series if that incident severed your trust in them. Cotric, Simonsson and Havili were there ready t...

How **** are the west indies though

They're basically non competitive anymore

They gave India a red hot go over there last month.

Look at who are succeeding in the T20, and who aren't in the Aussie side... Stoinis Maxy MMarsh Despite how good his innings was last night it’s hard to argue for Stoinis in the national side with how out of his depth he was at the World Cup. He is the leading T20 run scorer by 160+ runs. That's cr...

Just finished the final season of Silicon Valley. Another one of the best shows on TV bites the dust. Though attrition the list of shows I'm watching is actually now something close to manageable. Yeah I’ve been a fan. One of the better comedies around, probably number 2 to Its Always Sunny for min...

julian87

Yeah Hughes isn’t a halfback and never will be imo.

julian87

Also who was the bonehead who decided not to play a test at the Gabba last season. Hopefully that is rectified next time around. It’s a catch 22 though. Brisbane crowds are poor and I’ve no doubt that’s because it’s an absolute **** of a place to watch cricket. It’s a boring cement coliseum that su...

julian87

Leilua is a better centre than Scott and Simonsson is almost undoubtedly a better winger than Scott. I can understand the fact that Leilua could be an absolute weapon off the bench. But do you sacrifice 50 minutes of playing time for such a good player? I wouldn’t. His replacement would have to be b...

julian87

Alison Mitchell asks McGrath a question and then talks over him twice when he’s trying to answer. Ugh.

julian87

After watching Siddle in the BBL the other night I reckon he could have been handy in the upcoming world cup. Was as good closing bowling as I've seen in the format. Couldn’t disagree more really. Many of these players struggle against proper pace bowling so those better than him (currently in the ...

julian87

Mine are very low and I hope he proves me very wrong.

They really are playing BBL at substandard grounds these days. Moe? It’s really lost some shine.

I reckon it’s bloody fantastic that they’re playing these games at regional areas. I mean these games are completely forgettable in the long run. Coffs Harbour hosts a gams in January too.

julian87

It's a side going backwards isn't it. In that entire starting lineup Zac Lomax is the only player of note on an upward trajectory. That's scary, scary stuff. I'd like to say that Merrin is a good signing because I've always thought he's quality but it will actually hurt them IMO. Because Frizell loo...

julian87

Hmm don’t forget their best bowler was out. They just need some big, big runs from Latham, Williamson or Taylor. Their biggest weaknesses are Raval, Santner (though a typical just an all rounder from NZ) and I actually think Nicholls isn’t as good as his charmed start to test crickets suggests.

julian87

De Grandhomme and Wagner have been my favorite 2 players for some time now. Was good to see them perform well over here tbh. CDG will have to shoulder Ferguson’s load now. They need to knock us over for less than 400 and go big first innings to big to be a shot here.

julian87

I’ve voted the same Nickman ftr.

julian87

Hmm I don’t really think he played halfback per se

julian87

Any team of the decade, century etc HAS to be determined on where the player actually played. It makes no sense at all to decide many years later, that a player should have played in another position. If they were THAT well suited to another position... they probably would have played more than 20 ...

julian87

I don’t have any problem with how these are used as my previous post suggests. They maybe just need to rename it. Under 20s have Flegg and if they’re real good they make the top 30 anyway. Enabling 20+ year olds to take up this option and remain professional players in Australia is a good thing imo....

julian87

Certainly a step down. He'd be hoping for a mostly injury free year to finally put together some consistent performances. Must be a good trainer and well liked to be held on to. Agree. I am baffled how clubs are allowed to sign players who have played first grade on “development” contracts. You wou...

julian87

He’s shown some signs of talent, but nothing out of the box or even suggesting he’s a career first grader imo.

julian87

That test match had it all. Of course there was Laxman and Dravid but there was plenty more.. Adam Gilchrist became the first AUS batsman to get a king pair. 2 first ball ducks. His 2nd innings dismissal was lbw to Tendulkar..Tendulkar took another wicket as well. Matthew Hayden made scores of 97 a...

julian87

1/10 and that’s being generous as he hasn’t show too much on the field just yet as a player either imo.

julian87

Wighton. I think he was under rated at fullback and towards the end of his tenure there he was very good. Dugan’s 3 seasons were good and he burst onto the scene but while he was a goer (and at his peak as a player imo) he was always very limited in attack besides running in hindsight. Also I think ...

julian87

I actually reckon there’s a big chance he’ll fail. His brain snaps won’t be tolerated in Union.

julian87

Alison Mitchell, Simon Katich and Damien Fleming.

You’d need amphetamines to see this stint through at 9.40pm

julian87

I could cry if Leilua leaves. Rapana was upsetting but the Leilua attack highlight reel is probably better than anyone bar maybe Campese since the golden days.

julian87

There’s no way Scott is a better winger than Simonsson
