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..

Re: The Politics Thread 2024
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.

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.

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..

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.

its odd that we are looking at a possibility of

instead of

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.
