Looking forward to the Roosters waiting to see which one of Stewart Strange Sanders kicks on, then buying them accordingly

Canberra Milk

Tell you what, the Sharks definitely do not have a NSW Cup level pack

It's not a rule. You're just not allowed to obstruct someone without the ball

I've got a feeling Roosters will get him. Uncle Nick is just warming up

Canberra Milk

Talagi born same year as Chev, but looks more physically ready to be fair

Canberra Milk

They aren't signing a 27 year old with 5 NRL games over the top of Chevy. It's him or bust. Well it's not even him or bust really, because we also have Weekes and Savage Corey Parker said recently that in looking for the next big young thing, clubs may be overlooking genuine talent in the reserve g...

Canberra Milk

Fuller is interesting, because it's directly related to how much we rate Chevy. Are we going all in on him? Or do we want to create competition in the fullback position? I doubt Chevy will be able to do what Fuller is doing now, by next year. Although that would be lovely of course. And surely Fulle...

Canberra Milk

The Dolphins are going very well for a second year club. Sadly they are more closer than us to a premiership. Their young HB Katoa has come on leaps and bounds and is not afraid to run the ball or throw a long pass, and it’s the best that I’ve seen Nikorima play. Fuller is playing well at the back ...

Canberra Milk

What a try from Fuller. Credit to Bennett too, he tends not to put the shackles on someone when they have some flair

Canberra Milk

Invigorating discussion. We are talking about Hail Marys here, pure and simple Somewhat, in that you don't really properly know until they're older and into grade. But you sign and invest based on *something*. There seems to be a train of thought here, unless I'm misreading it, that you don't know ...

Canberra Milk

I guess the question for me for any young spine player is whether they'll be superstar, which I'd broadly describe as a top ten player of the game. I'm of the view that a team can and will be a huge premiership force, with 2-4 superstars and the rest more or less honest hard working, solid players. ...

Canberra Milk

Annesley has just proven what I always suspected, that there's no point explaining the decisions to the public, because they just won't agree anyway. There's often a cry of "why don't they have to face the media and public, just like the players and coaches do.. " But it really just seems ...

Canberra Milk

NRL fans have become obsessed with the ref. Actually they always have been, especially on the hill at stadiums... but it's spread like wildfire to every comments section of every NRL social media post... it's become a farce

Canberra Milk

Strange is not someone to build a team around imo. Galvin could be. My hope is that together with Chevy and the Colonel, maybe even add Savage to that, they form a formidable unit Strange I think is pretty nailed on. Even if he doesn't develop his passing and ballplaying, he can lean heavily on tha...

Canberra Milk

Personally I'd still be playing Savage fullback, to rule out that he's not a gun there, while still allowing Chevy to develop and see what he can do. That's not the way the coach has gone though and I guess is a separate argument, Savage vs Rapana rather than Savage vs Chevy

Canberra Milk

Chevy Stewart does have particular strengths. His ball playing, his running and stepping, his high involvement rates, unpredictability. I'm talking the core traits though: speed, agility, strength. I'm making the argument that the top tier fullbacks is recent times have been 10/10 in one of those, ...

Canberra Milk

When I look back at the debut ages of some current and recent star fullbacks... it seems generally, you could see elite signs by 19 or 20. The late bloomer cases seem more anomalous. Chevy's 18 but he'll be 20 by mid next year, we should have a good indication by then My only "concern" is ...

Canberra Milk

Let's not forget the greatest 18 year old of them all, Mark McLinden

Milford was ridiculous at 18/19. Crazy he's only 29 now and completely cooked

Canberra Milk

It's a good problem to have, Weekes looking comfortable in first grade last week, and Cook shaping up to be a genuine halfback

7. Cook 1. Weekes still looks a bit reserve gradey, but might be less so over time

Canberra Milk

Can we play Cook. Even if we upgrade him. By all reports he was very good on the weekend . I know Weekes won't be dropped but for the dynamics, having an actual halfback would be better. Maybe slot Weekes onto the bench But we’ve been told before we can’t change a winning team*! (*except for the ti...

Canberra Milk

Welcome. The plan is coming together

Canberra Milk

I don't have concerns about Chevy per se, I just think it's too early to make an assessment yet either way. As opposed to Strange, I think he's clearly shown he's up to it, despite his young age. You can interpret that as a "concern" about Chevy but that's not how it's intended

Canberra Milk

The other thing is Weekes could be an excellent fullback option if Stewart doesn't work out. Sent from my CPH2021 using Tapatalk Peak Greenhouse. Already searching for a new fullback when an 18yo has had two or three games. No, peak fandom is to assume xyz junior is the messiah carry you to the pro...

Canberra Milk

Kicking yes. I think back then I was comparing him to Thurston etc, who was more dynamic at running and passing. Cleary took a while to move on from just being an "organiser", didn't he? I can't remember. Still I was wrong anyway, so yeah lol

Canberra Milk

Stewart is the one I'm least sure of, out of the S's. Perhaps Dylan Edwards could be a model, mostly a hard worker and a good all rounder. But he's not really a superstar and gamebreaker. Then again I used to say the same about Nathan Cleary, that he's just an all rounder with no real strong point. ...

He is what I had hoped Smithies would be

I think we should go back to Horse at 13, sorry to say

Canberra Milk

I'm a bit scared of Faalago. Storm will just be good for another century with young guns like that

Canberra Milk

3 Whitehead
2 Weekes
1 Cotric

Mooney good in limited minutes

Interesting. That's exactly what happened with Hudson then. Could hear Atkins call surrender

Canberra Milk

Relieved to see the 7 and 6 play a key part in today's win. Gives me some hope going forward. I think Weekes could be a decent fullback too

Canberra Milk

Super excited to watch replay!!

Canberra Milk

I can only check scores now but wow, huge win if we get this

Canberra Milk

I like how Weekes runs. Wouldn't mind seeing him at fullback

Canberra Milk

Look we've been poor but after that try, you never know... Well done Weekes to back up

I think we're trying hard. The fact we're trying hard and Manly seem in second gear just makes it worse though

Canberra Milk

Terrible play by Savage, got air. They would have scored anyway, but. Maybe he'll be scapegoated next week
