Re: The best defensive centre in the game

I can't take anyone who thinks Crocker is our centre seriously. I can't take anyone who repeatedly makes excuses for Croker seriously. It's basically this "mediocre" and loser mentality, which is at the heart of what's fundamentally wrong with our team. How can the 16 other blokes around ...

Re: Which Clubs should Relocate?

The NRL admin don't have enough goodwill to survive the kind of calls they would have to make. Yet.

Re: Player transfer window

Surely an end of year trade window continues to keep the NRL show going. There would be significantly more media opportunities, roster forecasting, trade deadline night, etc. It can't be bad keeping the NRL in the spotlight in the offseason.

Late in the second half upon returning for his second stint I remember Vaughan making three hit ups in one set. He is an absolute weapon. Surely he is in line for a SOO call up in 2016.
