Yeah, we're not playing four middle forwards on the bench thanks Fox Sports.

massive season from him. Thought he really stagnated last season but turned it around to become one of the best forwards in the comp. Huge sign of maturity as well stopping his brain explosions. I wonder if they are any thoughts to turn him into an 80min player. More interchanges available for the ...

afgtnk

Came of age. Best forward behind Big Pap and one of the best in the comp this season.

His game has almost everything - aggression, power, speed, creativity, workrate. We all knew he had it, but this was the season where he finally put it all together, consistently.

afgtnk

Does anybody know when we're back into training?

afgtnk

..... because he was playing on the edge. A position he does not seem to play very well in.

afgtnk

I'll never quite understand people's obsession with moving a player out of a position they're shining in, with the intention being that somehow it'll benefit the team. Young was crud as an edge player this season. He had little to no effect there, and many on here rightfully called him out. He then ...

afgtnk

Campese's game primarily revolved around running, and he defended in a position needing a lot of lateral agility. Totally different situation. Hell, Hodgo pre-injury is probably struggling to even be as agile as Campo post-injury.

afgtnk

His defensive frailties are almost solely concentrated on his inside shoulder and players cutting back in on it. I don't see too many issues with him on the physical side or reading play. He's a powerful ball runner and knows how to hit a hole. An off season spent on correcting his issue with latera...

afgtnk

I think teams wised up to him a lot from last season, which reduced his efficacy considerably. One linebreak in 11 games is a telling sign. For that reason, I don't think his loss is anywhere near what it would've perceived to have been had he left at the end of 2019. Given he's a guy who isn't a no...

Should never be allowed through the door again in Canberra. Yep. If guys are balking at Mansour who's only crime was to consider signing for us and then take a different offer to stay at his long term club BUT had a renaissance season with a million line breaks, million tackle breaks, plenty of tri...

afgtnk

This guy has the perfect game for the one Stick wants to play: tough, big motor, makes good metres, not very adventurous with the ball. Hard to see him not on the bench next season, especially now since he seems to have become a favourite of the coach.

afgtnk

Still good enough, but we've now got a lot in that category and they're all younger than the great man. I get that players want to play for as long as they can, careers in this game are only relatively short compared to one's life, but part of me wished that he'd be moved to a role off the field. Th...

My question is this: what sign, if any, has Trump shown that he will do this peacefully? I know the hope is always there - for the sake of the US and for the sake of the world - that he'll end up going without significant disturbance. We've made the mistake before though of thinking that he'll event...

afgtnk

Trump is really starting to kick this up a few notches to full-blown authoritarianism. The peaceful and orderly transition of power is one of the bedrocks of a functioning democracy - a complete non-negotiable. The inaction of his inner circle and Republican Party over this situation is simply repre...

Ricky will get his head in check.

I'd take him if we did our due diligence, got him to give assurances face to face with Sticky and other management, and put some strong clauses into a cheap contract.

afgtnk

I'm pretty sure Mansour never signed with us, guys. We targeted him and gave a tour. Sent him an offer. It happens all the time. And, as astutely observed above, it goes both ways. We've benefited from a guy reneging on a contract - and since we're getting all high and mighty here about the principl...

There goes the only guy in the squad with any sort of top-end speed. Good luck and all the best Oldy. Not quite true. I noticed the origin GPS speeds up the other day and the only one quicker than the 35.something SImo has been clocked at was JAC at 36.something. Addo-Carr's been clocked at 38.5 be...

This guy's doing the same thing he did when he coached the Roosters. Starts off as a breath of fresh air flying high, ends up having NFI what he's doing.

Luke Keary is the best half in the game today - he should be the very first player picked.

Extremely happy for him. Reaping the rewards of hard work and sheer perseverance.

Another quality year, capped off by the Dally M and continued rep selection. I think to take his game to the next level he needs to do two things: 1. Stamp his authority more in bigger games 2. Find a way to reduce the amount of errors he makes Some people may predictability point out that he won th...

afgtnk

Really looking forward to CHN bedding in on that right edge and Stuart giving license for the team to be more expansive in attack, in order to see his passing game come out more. A quality right centre wouldn't go astray either, so fingers crossed for Timoko. To take a bigger picture view of things,...

Could be the weakest rookie year in memory. Valemei wins by default

afgtnk

Pound for pound, Jack is probably one of the best and most consistent defenders I've ever seen. It's generally been the one facet of his game that you can put a lock on, no matter where he plays, even when he's dropping the pill, or kicking out on the full, or passing into row Z. IMO he's quite unde...

the world is ending... afgtnk and botman agreed on something. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!

EDIT In what way could a sane person describe losing a well respected captain and leading point scorer (for a decade) as EDIT? That is EDIT, but I'm sure you are better than that. Croker is finished.

The answer to replacing Cotric for this football team is not an older, slower, and in every way an outdated model of Cotric We need to get young and faster. Not older and slower We need to make sure that guy has never rejected our advanced before though at any point in his career, because that is m...

Maybe petty was a better word...... because that's exactly what it'd be if we made our recruitment decisions like that. The club doesn't and won't make decisions on that basis, so that's enough for me. It doesn’t surprise me you’d resort to insults either. Not interested in insults or name calling....

We had a crack at signing him before didn’t we? Wouldn’t touch him with a 100 foot barge pole as a result. You don’t get a chance to disrespect our club twice. Exactly my thoughts. He jumped on the bandwagon and back-flipped on the club when things weren't looking good for the club. No way he gets ...
