Re: POLL: Strongest 2020 line up: Bench forwards
I did, I’m just banging on because I think it’s a ridiculous scenario for the club to be in whilst arguably still in a premiership window.

Re: POLL: Strongest 2020 line up: Bench forwards
This is insanely difficult, particularly as I don't have CHN in my top 17, based on his 2020... and unless Dunamis Lui puts in form like the second half of 2020, I'm not entirely sure he's a certainty for the top 17, long term, either. But I agree Dunamis certainly merits being there on the basis o...

Re: The Cricket Thread
Just on T20s. With the World Cup around the corner the selectors have some make or break decisions coming up. If the all rounder is to bat #7 it has to be Dan Christian, absolutely no questions asked. Marsh keeps breaking down and Stoinis is nothing but an opening bat (cost us the 50 over World Cup)...

Re: POLL: Strongest 2020 line up: Second rowers
Do he should. Stuart didn’t take the risk of signing him for him to be used as a battering ram bench forward. He played that role last year for a multitude of reasons that all made sense.
This season he will be back to 100% fitness and straight in to replace Bateman as he was signed to do.

Re: POLL: Strongest 2020 line up: Second rowers
CHN left second row with Whitehead reverting to the right. The best ball player in the team gains the best line runner in the team.

That'll do for Wade. They wanted to bring in Pucovski and it was between him and Head to see who made way. He's not taken that lifeline so in the absence of alternative Head deserves a recall. As a comparison between the two. Career Test Average: Wade 29.87 Head 39.75 Recent form (since Ashes): Wad...

Smith should never captain again imo. Unfortunately the best captain option doesn’t bat well enough to retain his place ahead of Matt Wade apparently.

Re: Your predicted Canberra Raiders team for next year?
Disagree with an outside back on the bench that was mentioned earlier. Havili or Starling to be the utility.
Whitehead covers halves.
A slimmer, fitter CHN via Tapine/Young covers centre.

Happy with this. Yes speed in our backs is a concern but I haven’t forgotten Simonsson and hope his return is key.

Re: North Sydney Bears
The 2 I can think of are Craig Smith and Danny Williams.
Williams played pff the bench in the 99 grand final and Smith was famously knocked out by Ainscough for the winning penalty try.

I was genuinely surprised as how well Matt Frawley went in that cronulla game We know Sam Williams to be a capable half for short stints in FG. So his performance was not surprising, but Frawley's was. He looked capable of filling in for a game or two and defending his position should be called on....

Re: 2020 in review - Corey Harawira-Naera
I normally don’t like edge back row stats because so much work is done off the ball in attack and positionally in defense.
But that post really does underline what is being said in this thread.
