Re: 2024 NRL Round 4: Teams and Game Day

I was hoping Souths would go 0-4. Bloody dumb Bulldogs. Dumb second half from them.

Hutchison is slower than a wet week. Every time he gets the ball and tries to get through a gap it’s like he’s running in quicksand

Ah yes, as predicted the old "calf injury" struck again. Ironic it was the same same "injury" that took Hodgo out when he was with us.

Re: Ex Raiders... where are they now?

FWIW I got talked into playing SC this year again after a many many year hiatus and whilst it has improved and I’m enjoying it I think last nights game and looking at the scores is a pretty good example of the scoring still being pretty flawed. How so? This isn't anonymous judges dishing out wildly...

Well hopefully you're money is on me, because I'm up 3-0 this week Billy, it's sad to see. The argument isn't was Schneider "good", it is whether he was "very very good" and "excellent". The fact you rate the likes of Levi, Valemei, Elliott, Hopoate, etc, shows what a p...

You appear to have missed the part where I said "Not an infallible assessment of a player's performance, but a pretty good indication. Not many people scoring 100+ points having a stinker, not many people scoring 50 odd points having a blinder. Less than that is a fairly poor performance, at le...

Re: Ex Raiders... where are they now?

Well for some context, Supercoach scores players based on actual in-game statistical output such as: tries, try assists, line breaks, line break assists, tackle breaks, hit ups, offloads, goals, tackles. You lose points for negative plays like errors, penalties, missed goals, missed tackles, etc. No...

Glad you've conceded that. I'll continue to form my views on players performances by actually watching the game, you can continue to form your views on players performances based on Neville-nobodies telling you they were "excellent" in a clickbait Fox Sports article.

Interesting little story there about how Penrith identified Schneider as a talent. They played against him a couple of years ago and were impressed with how he handled Kikau defensively.

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

If Rapa didn't miss 5 seasons of footy between 2009-2013, he could be playing his 350th game by now. Then again, perhaps his hiatus protected his body, giving rise to his current longevity.

Not many outside backs still running around at 34-35 and delivering much quality footy. Rapa is a beast.
