Re: 2024 NRL Round 4: Teams and Game Day

Some big outs this week. It will be interesting how teams cope. Gonna be an absolute tipping nightmare this week, outs like Cleary and Moses make both those games head-scratchers and Raiders are big underdogs but could easily get the job done if they play at the same level as the last three weeks. ...

Re: 2024 Rd 4 v Sharks: Teams and Previews *Teams p1

As long as your back 5 are digging the ball out of your own end at the start of each set it doesn't really make any difference whether it's Cotric/Hoppa or Schiller/Savage rucking it out along with Rapana/Kris/Timoko. Someone has to do it either way, just because Hoppa carries the workload when he ...

Anyway, back to this week's game... I quite like this team, seems to me like Sticky is slowly inching towards the best team, this is our best one so far. Intriguing to see if Hoppa will indeed come straight back in when fit, and it will also be nice to finally see the forward pack and bench get sort...

Re: 2024 Rd 4 v Sharks: Teams and Previews

I think we're a Top 8 team if we keep playing the way we did the first three rounds and continue to throw the ball around like we have been.

I can see the style they're trying to play, and once they're used to it and they continue to develop their attack, they'll really start to pile on some points.

Re: 2024 Rd 4 v Sharks: Teams and Previews

If we play like we have sharks will fold , they looked ordinary on the weekend, there attack has been off this season which works well with our improved defence. We lacked polish in getting more points last week . So i would make these changes- Levi out woolf in, kris centre hoppa wing cotric out, ...

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day

I’m pretty happy with the way that half went. They had a lot of momentum early which we largely held out, but then we got into our natural game and the warriors appeared to be tiring towards the end of the half there.

Just need to start the second half well and I reckon we can go on with this one.

I said before the season even commenced that they were in for a much poorer season than last year. Can’t have blokes punching on in the preseason and expect a good year.
