Hudson young will do me. As an average second rower he is great. As your strike second rower he is poopoo in the head. His two burrow over attempts were just pathetic ball stopping bad plays. His negative play to start our last set really set the tone for their try (and to go with fogartys horrid ki...

Or perhaps we just need more houses? Yes we do. Unequivocally. But why does that mean that demand side levers should be off the table if we have good basis to conclude pulling them will result in more equitable outcomes too? Because what guys like you and gangrenous are proposing is that you fundam...

Also for the other commentators comparing schiller to savage you are dreaming.. Savage is way more dangerous in attack and imo he is a more effective defender. Savage has played more than twice as many games. More importantly being a consistent starter in 19 games in a season. Schiller has had a ha...

I didn’t watch the game but I have seen the highlights and it is baffling to me people are saying Schiller should be dropped for Hoppa on the basis of defences Schiller let in 2 “soft” tries The first I can live with, he made the right read but just didn’t commit fully. That ball was dying to go 90...

Like a speed bump Lockyer.

Coming is as the second man as someone’s already hit schiffa a small man and made him stumble. Still gets trampled.

And qlders still try and argue he was a better rugby league player then John’s.

What changes are people arguing for here?? I found one post asking for a general comment about winding back property tax advantages and some arguments about the good and evils of property investment, but to avoid speaking at cross purposes what "actual" changes would people actually like t...

My few thoughts on some players:- Guler - His play the balls / mistakes arent what kills me. Although they dont appear to be particular good. For someone so pedestrian in attack he is really pedestrian in defence. Since he isn't young anymore it is a whats the point unless everyone else is injured s...

I didn’t see last weeks game.

Was whitehead awesome and zac hosking garbage?

Zac hosking was one of (if not our) best over the first two weeks and whitehead was well of the pace last year in liability territory…

Or is this just another Ricky favourite suck it up thing..

If a person says 2 + 2 = 5, and you say “no, it’s 4”, then they want to have a discussion about how it’s actually 5 - that’s where I’m calling them an idiot and saying it’s ridiculous to treat their view with respect. Someone supporting Trump now after 10 years of seeing who he is loud and clear. T...

To me that’s all well and good. But there’s a line beyond which it’s wasted. Given I’m not going to convince them, I’m going to let them know I think they’re a ****. Yeah they’ll probably push back and that won’t help either. But I think it’s probably still significantly better than the kid gloves ...

Johns isnt even the GOAT halfback :lol: Very sad to see RL tragic's who apparently never saw Cameron Smith play football :( Andrew John’s was the best player I have seen play and tbh for me it isn’t even particularly close. Easy the best half… honestly I don’t like the guy and I don’t like Newcastl...

I don't think anyone should be obligated to respect every opinion As an example if you tell me vaccines cause autism or the earth is flat or that 9/11 was an inside job and jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams, I'm not going to give that opinion a single ounce of respect and I am going to think and pr...

Seems like EW will be back this week. If he, Hors are back and Kris is out we are gonna have a few changes. Expecting to see Kris, Mariota and Guler drop out from last week's team, with Cotric, Hors and EW in. Horse straight in for guler. EW can continue recovering/ play NSW cup / or come off the b...

Why on earth do they fear a Trump victory? Under his leadership there were no wars! You are so dumb. You say things, and they're stupid, they're just dumb, do you have no level of self-awareness? Do you think Russia only invaded Ukraine because they're scared of Trump and wouldn't have done it if h...

It’s just a bunch of barely connected ramblings and musings

It could have but it isn’t.

Much like your post could have just not been written to avoid wasting everyone’s time

I’m actually a fan of Ricky’s coaching, despite his flaws, people seem to forget that we were hot garbage for most of 20 years until he showed up. That said his stubbornness with his favourites are a problem. Imo Hopoate should have been dropped before cotric and either way cotric or hoppa should be...

Friendly reminder The cap is 11.6m across a 30 man squad That’s 386k each if averaged evenly Some of those numbers are on the nose but if you’re a starting calibre player in the nrl with an 11.6m cap, you’re going to get 350-400k That’s just the economics of it now. It wasn’t that long ago we were ...

Cotric is a very good defensive winger

I don’t know why our back up winger is starting over a superior player, hopefully being the tigers we still have enough juice..

papabear

Guler and Hoskings are paid way overs on that.

TBH I like hoskings but you can't tell me going out and paying 450k on a 5th string second rower was a moneyball play.

2 - rapana
1 - savage
1 - fogarty
1 - smithies

Would have given points to hoskings if he didnt fall for a dummy, same with old mate hudson young and not taking out ponga.

Did anyone else hear Vlandies on the Fox post game panel?

Lunar New Year? What's that, dubs? It's similar to Australia day Nickman. On Australia day skinheads and bogan Australians roam the streets draped in their Australian flag, exposing their Southern Cross tattoos and intimidate and harrass people who aren't white.

I agree gerg - push hard at either edge of the left/right progressive/conservative spectrum and it tends to be a weird control using different methods sort of thing. On the American election, as much of an old old old man biden is, I think he will repeat and beat trump again. Ultimately you have to ...

papabear

its odd that we are looking at a possibility of
1 rapana
2 cotric
5 savage
instead of
1 savage
2 cotric
5 rapana

Also if you want to maximise skill sets playing rapana at no 6 works better for me then having him turn his speed into fitness.
