This game has shown exact why you don’t sign from the big teams. In one half Alamoti (Dogs reject) plays better than Turuva has in his career.

julian87

You honestly couldn’t have expected a better debut from Sanders. I didn’t think he’d handle it like he did. I think it has underlined how a good half will always struggle in a poor team no matter the level of footy. Their NSW Cup team stinks and as soon as he was flung into a good team his talent sh...

Love their solution to the fact Gutho is busted is to move him to the front line with more contact Let alone the fact that the other times he's played 6 he's been absolutely terrible.

Hoppa was poor in NSW cup. Cotric was even poorer and Asomua had a shocker. So if Ricky is consistent on cup performances mattering none of them should be getting selected. I think Soulsy is right. Based upon what I've observed in cup, we don't have anyone on the same talent level to replace Schill...

There’s a rumour on the Kennel of Sexton to the Raiders immediately. So maybe 0.0001% chance of that happening.

That would be good as long as it has no influence on Sanders.

julian87

I don’t even care about the Chevy and Strange mistakes. If it was possible I’d make the other outside backs walk back to Canberra. Their kick chase has been lazy and non existent. Disgusting attitude. I’m not going to jump on an 18 year old but Christ that’s a bad take. There’s 3+ tries down to the...

Galvin is the most impressive youngster I’ve seen in ages. I’d die a little inside if Penrith sniped him.

julian87

Something else to add. There was a comment or 2 in here about Kris not looking himself. I think that’s a bit off. Strange has been great this year but creating space or ball playing to his center is almost not a part of his game at all atm. Without that play from the inside there is very little a ce...

julian87

Mariota looks really good on the edge, wasn’t it him who put Schiller over for his second try? Schiller’s earned another run after this week too, there’s just so much excitement almost every time he gets the ball Schiller looks good with the ball in hand but he needs to get his positioning right in...

He offers literally nothing that Schiller doesn't provide.

He does so. He offers .8m more per yardage carry.

julian87

Except they picked Blaize, who is the same age and had even less NSW cup games. He hasn’t even played in the halves. Now they pick Asi, who has no kicking game to speak of and has been pretty meh in his first grade games. He has been worse in NSW cup in the games I’ve watched this year as well. San...

Fogarty really needed that field goal. His last kick in normal time and golden point before that were absolutely disgraceful. Stewart had a good debut but I’m not sure he can sustain that style of play for a season at his age. I think Rapana back in post by will be good timing. You have some seriou...

Horrible in attack.

Next week could be a wake up call.

3. Tapine
2. Schiller
1. Savage

He’s out.

Shouldn’t disrupt things too much it Weekes can just be solid.

It’s a stupid ‘entertainment’ concept.

Up to ten minutes of trying to get a field goal or a penalty is hardly entertaining.

julian87

Not happy if Strange is out. Weekes straight swap though. Fingers crossed it’s something minor if it’s even true. And I’d rather players of that age miss games than play through injuries at this point.

NoMan wrote: ↑April 9, 2024, 6:28 pm I wonder what the plan is for fullback? Waitere has played a fair bit there so I guess he may get the spot and Esera plays up again.

I just presumed it was Hopoate.

I can’t argue against Smith. He’s probably the best rugby league player I’ve ever seen. But comments like Johns not being top 3 of the last 30 years is just crazy talk. I won’t accept that’s it’s anything other than parochialism and him being the ultimate divisive character that’s landed a post foot...

julian87

I don’t think a 19 year old halfback with 4 games of senior football is the best option very often. Virtually no young halfbacks have had any immediate success in a very long time.

They should have picked Asi 2 weeks ago.

julian87

I thought this was crazy.

But thinking about it. He’d purely be the manager (like he was for Qld). Hornby would coach rugby league and Meninga would sort the players out man to man.

Possibly the most under rated cricketer of his generation too.

julian87

I reckon all this media talk has to be drummed up by Sanders’ management. I think Parramatta made a mistake picking Talagi but I’d have picked Asi over Sanders as well. I hope we sign him. But he definitely looks like he needs a season or 2 of Cup before he’s a first grader. Most halfbacks do.

Cronk was better than JT. JTs career was over rated. Great player yes but not deserving to be on this list.

This is crazy talk.

Like a speed bump Lockyer. Coming is as the second man as someone’s already hit schiffa a small man and made him stumble. Still gets trampled. And qlders still try and argue he was a better rugby league player then John’s. You'll never see me try and argue that Lockyer was better than Johns, but I'...

julian87

It really is the perfect opportunity to give Stewart a debut.

Therefore I expect to see Rapana rested and Hopoate at 1 at 4pm tomorrow.

And I’ll add that I think it would be once again unfair on Seb Kris to shift him away from centre when there are other better options at 1.

Schiller scored 1 try, let in 2. If he can flip those numbers I can live with it. If anyone watches the try he scored and doesn't think that 99% of competent NRL wingers should score that thing, they are watching a different game to me But see that’s not the point.
