Re: Should one of the next Immortals be a Raider?

The Immortal concept is a BS thing anyway. It was started by the Rugby League Week magazine many years ago and was purchased by the NRL when the magazine folded. Should be just a hall of fame for elite players and that's it. Don't get me started on the Dally M awards. When the cigarette company Roth...

Re: 2023 Rd 27 v Sharks: Game Day

Their used to be an elegibilaty rule for selection in reserve grade finals based on how many games you played there over the course of the season or so many games in the last so many weeks.
Just thinking Croker could have his send off in the finals there if he is eligible

Re: 2023 Rd 17 v Roosters: Game Day

There is only one solution to straightening our attack. Citric to number 6. But seriously is Cotric in the 17 just because he is on 600k? If you are going to have a back on the bench then surely it would be Savage. He can perhaps make something happen if needed. Don't need someone to come on and mak...

Re: 2023 Rd 3 v Sharks: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

I think Kris is a really good centre and potentially a good backrower, but he is NOT a fullback. Being able to catch the ball and not drop it on return doesn't justify selection. I noticed in week 1 that he can't react to a short kick into the in goal. Gets to the area, stops and tries to bend down ...

With BJ out for the season, I hope the Ricky is considering moving Cotric to right centre to see how he goes. He's clearly a right sided player- you can tell by the way he fends and carries the ball that he prefers to hold the ball in his right hand. Have Oldy on the right wing outside him so he ha...

Might as well get the suspension over with now. The season was gone with the 0-4 start anyway. A good time to check out Abbey and Cotric at fullback. Then consider Whiton at 6 based on 20 minutes in the 1 trial game next year
