The Greenhouse

Does anyone else get the feeling that Vaughan has signed elsewhere (or is looking to sign elsewhere)? It seems when players are looking elsewhere Ricky won't play them no matter how good they are (eg: Barnett, Pangai Jnr, Waqa, etc). Brenko.... We have a lot of forward depth, and almost no depth in...

RLW says maybe swap with John Bateman? Pretty sure he plays second row P8ovbhLFKhQ Looks a bit undersized to me, I could only see him taking a bench role. The fans on Pommy forums love him though. Funny how defence isn't included in their little video game stats thing, yet somehow passing, footwork...

**** it, when in Rome. It's Warren Smith's "Who's got the tightest **** rig"!!!! http://resources2.news.com.au/images/2010/09/15/1225923/451638-warren-smith.jpg We all know that rugby league skills mean **** if you don't have a razor sharp rig. So in this GH exclusive segment, we compare e...

Wighton played very well tonight Yep. I've been off Wighton for a very long time, and while tonight he didn't set the world on fire, he looked like he was playing with some confidence rather than trying to not stuff up. The tip on down the right, the pump and pass to Croker, even the sliding eventu...

Think of physical performance as the product of two competing outcomes - gain (fitness) and fatigue. Fatigue diminishes disproportionately faster than fitness gains (approx 3x faster, obviously differences exist between people, especially genetic freaks). As has been mentioned, teams want to peak at...

Going to have to agree to disagree on Dean Whare Pigman. I think he's one of the top tier centres in the competition. Agree 100%. Whare is an absolute gun. He offers just as much, if not more in attack than Croker and his defence is far, far superior. His ball playing (not really a term used for ce...

I dont know about Lock. Jack just isn't as good as everyone thinks he is. He's a pretty poor fullback. Let's look at key areas for a fullback that Wighton is poor at: Defence: People think he's a great defender, yet every week you see him get bumped off when trying to stop a defender close to the l...

Having seen his transition into the frontrow for Mounties im glad he got 1st crack at FG this yr. He has become fearless against men in the space of 1 yr. This. He hits the line hard and keeps driving after contact. He whacked Fifita hard in defence and left him on the deck too. I think Ricky leavi...

Have noticed a fair bit of anti-Eddie Lee sentiment. Have to say watching on TV he didn't seem to do anything wrong. What was the big problem? haha is that a gee up? He was absolutely abysmal. Dropped about 3 bombs, gets driven back 10 metres every run and his defensive reads are pathetic. He looks...

warrensmith41

Jack has proven to be a very good defensive fullback. ...except when Kieran Foran is running at him. :opps He is NOT a good defensive fullback, this is another one of those GH myths. He regularly gets caught out of position, doesn't make any heavy impact, Lachlan Coote hits harder than this guy. In...

warrensmith41

This isn't mind games, he said all of this in the pre-season too.

warrensmith41

But Ricky spoke softly and looked around afterwards, so how could there be reports?

warrensmith41

I saw Ricky at a cafe today in Manuka and asked him if there is any chance at least one of the boys playing this week and he said one will play for sure but didn't tell me who. I have a feeling it will be Sezer. Good news. This is some great oil, Ratz has never been wrong yet in the years I've been...

This rehab team has proven themselves to be anything but morons so far. Anyone know if Conrad Schultz is still with us?

warrensmith41

Surely no NRL club is stupid enough to take Frank off our hands. I think Ricky has to push him to take a 3 year retirement contract in the UK now, while he may still be seen as somewhat desirable. Please, they took campo one year and gidley the next. They dont seem to give a **** in the UK as long ...

warrensmith41

Stuart will pick him, so that's all we can hope for.

But guys... Jeff Lima is injured. Busted his hand. We need two props to replace FPN. Barnett and Bateman? Probs start with Boydy and Soliola up front, Vaughan and Bateman first change, Barnett 2nd row from the bench Anybody would probably give us at least the same output as FPN. He's not winning us...

warrensmith41

Brenko, Lima out Leilua, Bateman in FPN to work his ass off to make up for his brain explosion and keep his spot (plus it'll be 1 less outside the 25 to use) I feel a lot better about our RHS with Leilua coming in for Brenko. His defence is ****! Agree with all of this apart from Frank keeping his ...

One thing I still cannot fathom, even after calming down, why is our defence still so **** after all this time?? The structure on our line is absolutely terrible Zero line speed as well. Last night they showed a metres conceded stat and from memory the Raiders were 16th. They certainly didn't impro...

Even when FPN runs hard he stops as soon as contact is made and his held up then taken down for the slowest PTB in history. He offers nothing. He is not an 'enforcer', not a meter eater, not a big hitter, doesn't get quick ptb's, but does dog shot blokes when the game is on the line. Get rid of him.

Exactly why I'd take Bateman. Barnett is angrier than a midget with a yo-yo.

Bateman and Barnett have been massive for mounties and wouldn't let anyone down like Frank. Bench of Baptiste, Bateman/Barnett, Vaughan, and Tapine with Soliola starting I know Bateman is listed as my fav player, but that was set years ago and based purely on being a socks down player with massive ...

It was dumb, but the Titans player ran in front of him and got himself pushed out of the way. He then hit the crowd, squealed and carried on until he got a penalty. Very, very dumb of FPN, but not worthy of a GH meltdown. Totally disagree He's been phoning it in almost his entire career and then pu...

I think that once the beer wears off everyone will calm down and realise that we have been lucky to get some points without our star halves and were due for this kind of loss. I'm fuming because we threw the game away by making so many poor decisions in the last 15 minutes and a win here would of b...

A makeshift fullback that Ricky wouldn't trade for anyone. I'm with you on this one.
