I understand he is 18 so can play NRL should he be selected. Sticky never rushes young players though. I think Sticky has it right to have players physically and mentally mature enough to have a crack at first grade. The highlight reels show he sure can run but there is not much for when he doesn't...

I know the Roosters were missing Keary, but their staring halves were pretty pedestrian. Sam Walker has some real skill about him and great vision. He's quite small though, so not sure how ready he is for the rigours of a full NRL season. Friend is well past his best. It will be interesting to see ...

I watched both matches on Kayo and I didn't think either was clear that the Horspower arm was tucked in. Perhaps there is another angle which was not available to Kayo but the on field Refs didn't seem in any doubt. When I watched the first one, I thought it was just a good hit. I agree with you on ...

I think Baily Simmonson and Rapa should be our wingers for Rd 1. Baily's goal kicking will be needed. I hadn't seen George Williams kick for goal before. I'd let him focus on being the best half in the Club. It's only a trial but I thought Timoko and Kris look good for the center positions. CNK in t...

The Raiders have given it to Teddy in the first half. Lots of great chasing and strong defensive work on him. Hodgo passing early and it's helping. Papa's offload in the lead up to the first try was a beauty and the good news was that the players around him were expecting it. Havili and CNK having g...

Bears win 26-18. Starling try for Raiders backing up a good Lui break. Bears half Ralph again puts White into a hole (past Curtis Scott) for a long range try. HorsPower on report for shoulder charge. Shame as he was strong with his footy. Hopoate did some good things under the high ball and with som...

Bears lead 16-12 at three quarter time. HSS great shot on Suaali but Bears No7 Josh Ralph with step and go and with support on left for TRY which was converted. Raiders giving away some penalties and had little ball in the 3rd quarter.

Half time Raiders 12 Bears 4. Dropped ball by Bears and Moeakiola on the left picks it up and lopes 60 mtrs for the try on the left hand side. Great conversion from Simmonson from out wide. Simmonson looks strong and safe and a threat. Sutton and Timoko strong. Ryan James solid and doing his job fir...

Raiders lead 6-4 at quarter time. HorsPower try for Raiders under the sticks. He looks very strong and good offloads as well. Suaali scores for Bears following bomb which they regather and he crashes through Medlyn.

My 2021 Season prediction is that if Cameron Smith does not play any matches for the Storm they will not make the Top 4. His captaincy, general play and goal kicking will be missed. I think Vunivalu is also a big loss on their right wing. I may end up with egg on my face with this prediction (not fo...

For defensofiles like me, I loved the commitment of the Indigenous All Stars in defence in the first half. No panic or overreading the play, just mark up on the player with the ball and shut them down. So much ball for the Maori and Luai and Marshall scheming away but the defensive line adjusted and...

It's all semantics really. The original strategy was suppression. I think that everyone was suprised that the original lockdown was so successful in eliminating the virus from many states. They all have a goal of getting to zero community transmissions, it's just that NSW doesn't believe that you h...

I am one happy Raider fan with this news. Hopefully he can resume his 2019 form and build on it. I like the fact his focus is on footy when he is on the park. Too many youngsters trying to prove how tough they are. Playing Front row in FG means they are already tough. It is footy skills which secure...

I know this is all for a good cause, but I'm glad it is over for current NRL players. Now they can focus on what they do best, play rugby league. Leave it to former players or cross code clashes to generate interest, but to have this, a month out from the start of the NRL season, is lunacy from a te...

Shillington was a much better prop than Ryan James. I dont know what it was about Shillo, but he was never given his due on this website by a lot of people. Maybe it was the empty the tank and his willingness to criticise the fanbase for the way it was treating the team. But he was a stud for us, a...

Sticky on radio today saying neither CHN nor HorsPower will be selected for Round 1 due to DUI activity in off season. I am hoping Emre Guler will pick up one of those spots. If Seb Kris is ok to play in the trial match, I hope he gets a go at his preferred center spot and maybe some minutes as a ri...

I really like these kind of signings - relatively low risk and potentially high reward. In years gone by we were dudded with a few crocks like Matt Bickerstaff, Glen Turner and Matt Orford, but if his knee comes up OK, James could be as good for us as veterans like Scotty Logan or Colin Best. He re...

Congratulations Sticky, celebrate by getting trunk. He'll be barking at the players now. He's branching out into other fields.

I think this is a sensible response from Dan Andrews as reported on 9 news: Mr Andrews urged for people to remain calm but get tested immediately if they develop any symptoms. "This is one case. There's no need for people to panic," he said. "There's no need for people to be alarmed. ...

I have a left field question for you Doctor Z.

Wait.. what?? Elimination strategy did not work with a highly infectious virus?? Humans are involved so nothing is guaranteed.

With none of the youngsters putting their hand up to say 'pick me, pick me' I would have gone with a middle order player who has been on the scene for a while. Ashton Agar (27 years of age).
