We’re a win from the big dance I don’t really care for this thread atm. Centre is the least important position in rugby league atm. But us having such good players there compared to almost everyone else bar Easts has been our biggest advantage man to man since 2016. I like that our right centre can ...

julian87

Yep re-signing just announced haha

julian87

I’d be looking to sign him if I ran the Titans tbh. While they need talent, they more desperately need some players who try their guts out and lead by example and he’d be a good start on a small amount of money imo.

julian87

I think he’d do pretty well in that competition. He’s been a good representative of this club imo and I still reckon he’d be a good squad member on minimum NRL wage. Can definitely understand him exploring his options though that’d be less than halving his wage compared to his latest contract I pres...

Sezer and Williams will be our halves

There’s zero chance of moving Wighton to centre and rightly so. Absolute madness to even contemplate it tbh.

julian87

Was it Best’s first or second year with us when he played ridiculous footy outside Campese?

Did Rapana escape charge?

I'm sure the kid is talented, he might even be a nice kid. But his father will come with him and I don't want that absolute stain of a human being anywhere near our club. Think of him like Alice Cooper, it's an act/character he plays to stay in the limelight- he's actually an incredible man doing a...

I also feel really sorry for Manly. I know everyone hates them but I’ve never understood why people under 35 or so now hate them. They’re the opposite sort of club to what people hated them for in the 70s/80s. I enjoyed what they did this season almost as much as what we did. Loved Thompson and Siro...

julian87

I believe the Roosters are going to absolutely hand it to the bunnies on Friday. Not only is Keary a massive in but SST was the best front rower in the competition this year when fit and really very seriously elevates their performance. I’m struggling to think of a stronger club side ive seen on pap...

julian87

Good news on both counts. I’d expect Sutton is not on huge coin, he’s tough and is a pretty good fit in the middle while we still have Papalii, Hors and Tapine imo. On Whitehead; you can make a case that he’s the most under rated player in the league imo. He has serious footy smarts and skill, sniff...

julian87

Looking at the positive, I’m of the opinion that at full strength he doesn’t make the 17 anyway and he possibly would’ve if available. I know plenty don’t agree.

julian87

Brett Finch's commentary on HY was deplorable, it's your job as a commentator to stay neutral on everything, I mean, ****. Saying that he deserved to cop a hit to face? It was just so amateur to demonize HY's actions whilst saying he deserved something the NRL is so staunchly trying to removing fro...

julian87

Why would the NRL block it. If a player wants to back themselves with 1 season deals like that who is it hurting?

julian87

Nothing short of playing our best game of the year, or something close to it, will get the job done on Saturday. If we can make it all click, we will have a GF qualifier at home. Despite our yips at GIO, there is no greater opportunity to play in the big dance than that. I feel like there is a lot ...

If he goes there, bags some cash and then returns it’s probably the best outcome for him and us.

julian87

It’ll be 5.30/6 Saturday I think.

Roosters - Souths the prime time Sat game.

Parra Fri night.

Manly Sunday.

julian87

Fair enough hopefully he’s good to go. Adds a bit of starch.

julian87

No Horsburgh?

julian87

So far the difference between Hudson and Redhorse is that Redhorse seems to have learned from his earlier indiscretions. This is why he will be a key part of the finals campaign. There’s a pretty big difference in talent and potential there too imo. Horsburgh will play Origin I reckon. Yep I think ...

julian87

Christ can someone create a teams thread for next week to get some constructive rather than destructive conversations happening.

julian87

His kicking is what it is and I wouldn’t be changing things now. There also aren’t two other centres putting pressure on him this year. I am interested to know why he always comes up two steps ahead of his inside men in defence. Is it to give the impression there is less space on that side? Usually...

julian87

Unpopular opinion here. We didn’t play well. Reflecting on that I almost reckon it’s a better situation for the group to learn from than a 2 point win in that situation. They know they’re welcoming back some of the hardest players in the competition next week and they know they have to take their pe...

:lol: :lol: Deadset.... Absolutely pathetic. Such a typical raiders thing to do..... Hows that decision to rest our 2 best players looking now. ****.

3 - Papalii

1 - Oldfield

julian87

The silliest thing is he played really well today and locked up a spot in the 17 heading to finals. I actually disagree with this. He’s a high effort player that’s been randomly over rated on here imo. I don’t trust him defensively on an edge (was at fault for their first try) and given what he’s d...

julian87

It’s annoying to lose but I don’t think it will sorry this mob. What I will take out of that game is that the Hudson Young experiment has been a blip on Stuart’s season this year. His checkered history and what he’s done on field must just add up to him being a bit of a **** so afaic it’s see you la...

julian87

That’s ridiculous. What an idiot.

Ridiculous bringing Papalii back on imo
