Forwards will naturally rotate as suspension, injury and rep duties call... but i cant see us being good enough to be using a rotation as staple policy. Play the best 17, and that should absolutely include Hors, Guler and Young Yep. Play the best 17.! That may or may not include Hors, Guler and You...

Watched the Fox sports special of every Jarrod Croker try ever. McCrone features in a lot of them in the early years.

BJ

It’s so important for the young forwards to realise that to get a first grade position they will have to out train and out play senior forwards like Papa, Sia, Lui and James. The young guys will either rise to a level they didn’t think possible or not be good enough. This is exactly how the best for...

I think we’re all in agreement, that current NRL is a very good game to watch. But unfortunately there’s still opportunities for some teams to come to game day and win the game through wrestling, slowing down the game play and attacking with flat passing and non stop block play football. I think the...

BJ

Actually I agree with you gergreg.

I think you have overanalysed my original post and added things I wasn’t actually saying. I want the type of fast ball movement you were mentioning. Storm do this better than us at the moment. We did it great in 2016 to 2018.

Commentators and NRL administration are confused about what they really want. speed of play the ball leads to dummy half running and flat passes at the ruck. What fans really want (and why late 80s and 90s football was so great to watch) is speed of ball movement. NRL is exciting when passing and r...

Does anyone know when the membership packs will be received for renewals? Was hoping this would have been received in time for chrismas. The club has said it won't be before Christmas, due to delays caused by COVID: https://www.raiders.com.au/news/2020/11/17/raiders-thank-members-after-reaching-maj...

He can’t be worse than the last refs boss.

For our work Christmas party we went to a painting and wine afternoon. We all painted an emu and had a few drinks. Something different and it was actually a heap of fun. I'd recommend it to anyone. They even have children's sessions, without the alcohol. Sent from my SM-G570F using Tapatalk The old...

I still can’t believe what the footage showed. Amazing the police fought the case for so long.

BJ

Good review and spot on selections of the best 5. However, Swap Lui and Hudson Young’s positions for mine.

It’s like meeting someone who doesn’t like Norbit.

Sharks won with an ageing and experienced squad. I think that’s our best chance. Cotric was our only genuine superstar youngster.

It’s not like we are Roosters or Storm hoovering up the best young talent.

I hadn’t been watching the cricket today and couldn’t work out why my text messages kept going off.

BJ

Reimis can be very good if he stays injury free. I think that’s the key question.

BJ

Jervis Bay will certainly be a tough call if NSW locks out ACT residents.

To get to the Canberra part of their territory, Jervis Bay residents will have to row down the eastern seaboard to Adelaide, up the Murray River and then up the Murrimbidgee River.

They have a 62 run lead heading into day 3.

250/300 for a win would be tough.

Agree.

150 would even be tough. But we’d max out much above 250.

BJ

Papa and Lazarus are our two best ever props. Papa just needs a premiership or two to beat Lazzo.

BJ

I believe Trump handled the pandemic better than any Australian politician of any political party and that the Broncos were extremely unlucky not to win the premiership this year.

If I was a boxing promoter I would have: Carney V Irwin Fought on the tray bed of a Holden Ute with police lights flashing in the background.

That’s concerning. It’s not a good injury he suffered.

Doubling in value in 10 years is about 7% p.a. Compound interest and all that. OK. Let’s say a property that has zero increase for 9 years and 100% in the tenth. Or went backwards in value for two years but grew a lot for the other years. I know Sydney house prices have doubled every decade or so, ...

hrundi89 wrote:A reasonable investment property in a strong market (like Sydney) should double in value in 10 years, so they've done ok with this.

Averaging 10% each and every year is pretty good growth expectations. You need to give us some tips on areas to invest in property.

BJ

Geez what a BBL game. Daniel Samms went crazy to pull out an almost impossible win. 6 sixes at Manuka in a 25 ball 65 to win the game from 5 down for 70.

BJ

Haas is a gun Not this season. Amazing player and amazing potential. As we saw for Broncos and NSW his statistical output hides flaws in his positioning, over chasing in defence and his impact when the game is to be won or lost. I would not have him in my Australian team this season. He’s too raw i...

BJ

Haas. You’re kidding me.

BJ

The 6 again calls need to be reported by tackles gained, not as a raw count of how many you received.

If it’s on the first tackle it’s worth less than on the last.

Easy to create a % measure calculation of total tackles made.

Fired lbw first ball to one that, wait for it, hit the bat and no part of my leg. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk Weird.

Yep excellent podcast.

I also think it shows the development of Ricky as a coach in the last few years.

BJ

Ben Cummins has clearly been affected by his monumental stuff up in the 2019 grand final.

He either needs a long break or a different role in the refereeing ranks.

BJ

And at least three sane people amongst the 80k.

I obviously don’t count myself which won’t surprise anyone.

3 more than the Broncos fan site however.

BJ

Papa will be in trouble. Entire Roosters and Storm pack will be in very big trouble.

I counted an entire set where the Roosters didn’t touch the ball with their foot.

BJ

This is actually quite disheartening. Not sure why we want to turn the sport into some sort of Big Bash like circus. I can’t imagine it will increase profits or crowd numbers As I’ve said before. The best rule changes have proven to be the simplest rule changes. Some of these rule changes seem quit...
