Their 2 starters are undoubtedly good, however Papalii is the best front rower in this game. And it's not particularly close.

Better than what he was at 23.

Who's Nickman?

Northern Raider

Yeah i mean we've still got Timoko and HSS, and i've still got really high hopes for Simo too . Valemi as well. All these guys have the ability, and if one or two of them could kick on and become staples of the team and strong contributors, it would be very helpful as we look at how to get better i...

Northern Raider

Be interesting to see where it ends up next year with Rapana retiring. Valemei should be in the mix. Kris if we retain him probably makes a permanent switch to the backrow over the next couple of seasons. Savage still at least a year away with the genuine pace. Perhaps Hopoate makes a move. Yep, I ...

His numbers scream edge rusher. Interesting they've pegged him as a TE. Often the hardest position to transition to for College players coming into the pros. For a guy who's never played before it would be infinitely harder. The article mentions Antonio Gate and Tony Gonzalez as basketballers who be...

We can pick holes in the bench all day. We can say we look old and slow (we do) or that we need more punch (we do) But issue number 1 is that its a bench that leaves us in big trouble if we sustain an injury anywhere that isn't a middle third player. An injury to a backrower or outside back puts Ha...

I'd take Tracey as first back up half if Sam is on his way out Tracey is a hooker. I think there is one thing we can all agree on and that is we don't need ANOTHER hooker on the bench!! Tracey can play multiple positions though its debatable about what his best one is. Thing is he can cover many sp...

I made the comment in this thread during the game. Panthers are bad winners. The way some of them carry on is unnecessary and lacking class. Im personally the type to not give much of a **** about that sort of thing, to me if you want to stop them carrying on, beat them. And to be clear, i still do...

"There’s 12-year olds that behave better than that": Penrith Panthers' arrogance in the clash with the Canberra Raiders slammed after Tapine incident A group of young Panthers have come under fire for their “cockiness” and “arrogance” in their win over the Raiders last Friday. Paul Crawle...

Northern Raider

I don't see Ettienne at the Bills. The Bills have invested too much into RB's. Back to back seconds on RB's the past two drafts. They would be nuts to throw a first in there too..They need to roll with what they have and I would suggest strengthening their secondary is more of a priority. Pats are ...

Once I had to relocate to the company's Melbourne office for 2 weeks.

Northern Raider

Can anyone tell me what the plan is if we lose a back to a HIA? I assume Whitehead goes to centre but who comes on the play the Edge? We don’t have an edge forward on the bench?!?!? Sent from my iPhone using The Greenhouse This issue got exposed only last week when we lost CNK. Whitehead moved to c...

Northern Raider

Morris gone effective immediately, replaced by Craig Fitzgibbon. Apparently he won’t be in charge next weekend, and coached last game has to happen at that point, else he can poison the well. We should be looking to bring him on as an assistant, and using that to bring Kennedy and Ramien with him. ...

Northern Raider

Scott can be in whatever form he likes - he's not a patch on what Kris can offer right now. A reasonable statement. On recent form Scott has been on par with Kris and that's the best we've seen Scott play since joining the Raiders. When you average out both their performances Kris is well ahead IMO...

Northern Raider

Kris for Starling I reckon. Havili plays middle rotation and covers injury to Hodgson. Kris covers injury to backs or edge forward.

Northern Raider

I watch a lot of football and I really dont think we play that much more crash balls than the rest of the comp. It feels like a meme. Where we are worse than the really good sides is that they normally have a few options on the play so the crash ball might trick the defenders. A lot of our problems...

Northern Raider

Yep. Edelman is a system guy. Worked really well for the Pats, particularly with Gronk causing headaches underneath he had a lot of 1 on 1 situations and became Brady's safety outlet. Was he a very good receiver? Absolutely. Was he an all time great? Not really. He'll still make the HoF because of h...

Northern Raider

That could put the Pats firmly in the market for WR in the draft. Particularly a possession receiver. Davonta Smith could even fall to them at 15.

Northern Raider

It has to be Lucy. No other explanation.

Jack won the Dally M coz he's one of the very few attacking players in our team so he stands out more.. Im sure wed all prefer a keary, munster or walker who can kick and pass better than Jack.. let's not be bious By your own admission he's a standout in our team playing at 5/8. Saying he's not as ...

Northern Raider

So we're looking to move the Dally M winning 5/8 to centre and replace him with a guy who's being dropped from one of the worse teams in the comp. I might take some convincing on that one.

Cronulla haven’t beaten a top 8 team since Round 20 2019. He might be the nicest bloke in the world but results matter above all else. I hope our next coach is hired from within, as Ricky/current staff have created an excellent culture within the club (one which was rotten prior) and I’d like to se...

Northern Raider

Aekins will likely get it, maybe Simonson (bad mistake), but if it were up to me I'd be putting Wighton back there and either bringing Sammy W into the halves or rolling the dice on Hodgson at 6, for Starling to come in. Havili can stay on the bench. I still wake up in a cold sweat over JW's positi...

1. Wighton 6. Hodgson 9. Starling 13. Havilii Well that's left field. CNK so reshuffle the entire team.

Aekins will get the gig. He was brought in as backup to CNK and this is where he's needed. A solid replacement.

CNK got injured eay in the game and this must have been the result. Kikau club in the back of the head wouldn't have helped.

Remember that one year he went berserk, scored a million tries and I think won dally m winger or centre or something?! Crazy times. Yup.. He was scoring for fun and no one could tackle him.. lots of early ball from Campo I still think that due to the back half of the 2008 season, it was one of the ...

I've decided, bring him home. At the right price To play fullback i pressume? Do you think he's got the speed and fitness to play there these days? I dont.
