The abillity was there but Jensen had the worst hands of any Raiders player I remember. Once he fixed that at the Cows he was great.
What..... worse than Marshall Chalk??

Chalk’s hands were ok until the try line was beckoning.

julian87

I don’t remember that about Jensen. But in saying that I couldn’t watch every game back then like I do now.

julian87

Of all the mentions so far I lost agree with Michael Hodgson and Adam Mogg. Few players ill mention and for different reasons are: Phil Graham. By his own coaching staff at least. 2003 was a year where we looked a genuine surprising chance for much of the season before Penrith came home late. And co...

You can’t have a 7 round season. **** Origin off for a year and make it te 2 games already plus another 10+ imo

Steve O'Keefe announced his retirement 9 tests 35 wickets at 29.4 87 FC matches 299 wickets at 24.4 Sent from my ELE-L29 using Tapatalk Good on him for retiring. He shouldn't be forced to break into the NSW team without the safety net of a contract when he's the best state level spinner in the coun...

Started watching “The Test” on Amazon Prime. 2 episodes in, I’m loving it. Can easily see why Usman has failed to cement a spot in the Test team. All the talent in the world, but he’s mentally unfit. And has a bit of Mundine ego about him. Odd. I got the exact opposite impression of Khawaja. I thin...

Random bet for a Saturday but I’m on Duvet in the next at Alice Springs.

in that nrl list i'd have Merritt overrated and found out as such in origin Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk Tallis would have made the same tackle on Burt or Payten as he did on Hodgson. Im surprised a guy like Blacklock also didnt suffer the same fate. Smaller outside backs arent built for th...

julian87

That's a very ordinary attempt at a team. Being white and mediocre makes you under rated apparently. Thompson, Bolton and Croker the only truly under rated players there IMO. Tongue was a dire hooker. Merritt ended up very over rated. Aubusson being under rated has become a bit of a meme. The halves...

Alvaro wasn’t making first grade rounds 1 and 2.

How old are you people that still watch TV and see ads? I'm on different forums so might have posted this before sorry. I'm 32 and I'm a tenant and my aerial snapped in half in a storm at the start of this Covid 19 thing hotting up in Australia and I didn't even bother calling the real estate once I...

Mitchell Aubusson

Just one of those guys that will always do a job, and you can name him 1-17 and he'll perform

Sent from my ELE-L29 using Tapatalk

I reckon Thompson is a better player in his best 2 positions tbh.

julian87

Trying to drum up some rugby league talk. Who do you think is the best NRL player who hasn't played rep footy. (I'll call it Origin or Eng/Aus/NZ) We'll all talk our current crop. But considering some who've played ahead of him I think Joel Thompson would be up there. He's a much better player than ...

Verry Elegant looks a stand out on last run and odds reflect that. Avilius could be the big improver over 2400.

Good pick mate.

julian87

It made me smile at the time but Campese joyously getting around Croker after the prelim is just so sweet.

julian87

In terms of football I feel for the poms. They're stuck over here sans football in a very foreign situation away from most of their family.

Is it bad that I’m quietly enjoying that as a current Canberra fan you can be annoyed at a half’s performance where we haven’t conceded?

julian87

**** Murray playing 30 mins at left second row is so dumb. Not only is he nowhere near as good there as lock his replacement Lowe offers no impact off the bench and performs the same for 50 as he would for 80. The other thing it does is it means Bennett plays his 3 good middles (besides Murray) at t...

How about dropping Lewis when Wakeham has been absolute dog ****

Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

Lewis is the worst halfback I have ever seen play 20 or more games in the NRL.

He's way ahead of Jeremy Smith now for mine.

julian87

It’s a pity we don’t get to see Leilua come up against a small halfback at Centre.

Having spent 4-8 weeks away from home for work multiple times, with no phone reception and on a 1/4 of the money the warriors players are being paid, I really think they need to harden EDIT up and stay in Australia so the comp can continue. I'm sure I'm not the only one who spends time away from fa...

julian87

Yeah it's a fair point... i guess im a numbers guy and the fact CNK got taken off with a HIA last week plays into my thinking here, ill take my chances that we wont roll snake eyes 2 weeks in a row. We lost a lot of punch for a big period of that titans game and better teams would have capitilised....

julian87

Yeah I like what I see from Hoy. Think we'd find it hard to get him here. Simonsson does a lot less talking and organizing in the line compared to CNK. I think our first grade fullback list would go something like: CNK, Simonsson, Oldfield, Cotric, HSS. I would have had Cotric before Oldfield but t...

julian87

I think Sutton should and will end up playing. Not sure who he comes in for, if i had to guess, i'd say it'll be Oldy I normally agree. But if a back goes off injured like CNK last week, what's your solution? Pretending the season will happen as usual I'm pretty confident Oldfield will remain on th...

julian87

Valemei and Collins with some pretty good attacking stats. Murchie's stats are horrible.

julian87

Him and his brother. Early ball all day long.

julian87

Tigers might want to give their best player a bit more ball just quietly

julian87

Reckon Rapana would play for Canberra over Canterbury for half the money tbh.

The funniest part of this pressa is listening to PV'Landys say "rugby league"

Anybody else..?

Omg

julian87

Have to say, one concerning thing about today's game... we didnt get much punch coming off our line from the outside backs. Granted its just one game, but Rapana and Beej so incredibly good at getting us on the front foot to start sets... I dont think Simo provided much there, losing CNK didnt help...
