Re: 2023 State of Origin III - Blues v Maroons
One thing I'm curious about - you look at various sites and comments from ignorant punters like us, and people are saying "Fittler has too many advisers and people in his ear, and he doesn't know what to respond to". But I'd have thought the opposite is the case. As far as I know, Slater h...

Re: 2023 State of Origin III - Blues v Maroons
I just heard Slater on NRL 360. Jesus... the difference between Fittler/Alexander and Slater is difficult to articulate . It's vasttttttttt. Lets say, Fittler should be taking lessons from Slater about culture, tactics, selections, leading men, representing the state, and all other dimensions to co...

Re: 2023 State of Origin II - Maroons v Blues
Ah I see on the Roar Gorski has put in his ratings. For back rowers he says: 11. Tyson Frizell: 5.5/10 12. Hudson Young: 5.5/10 13. Isaah Yeo: 6.5/10 15. Cameron Murray: 6/10 16. Liam Martin: 5/10 Looks live an overreliance on stats to me. I'd have said: 11. Tyson Frizell: 5/10 12. Hudson Young: 7/1...

Only a few points, because SoO isn't really anything I care about )not having lived or been born in either state until recently) - Hudson Young was far and away the most underrated player on the field. I've been flicking between the vomitous Nine and the Fox postmatches and I'm not sure he's got a m...

Best place to sit at Wollongong
We're going to the Wollongong game - so I thought I'd ask if there is anywhere particularly good to sit? Because from the tv shots it seems that main grandstand sideline seats have a whole lot of walkway and other infrastructure in front of them which might be a viewing pain. Any suggestions? Better...

I lasted five minutes longer at the game than Seiffert, but it was still a miserable experience for us too. And then I watched the tape...

Re Kris at fullback. You have to go back to Harold Matthews in 2015 to find him playing at fullback. He’s not played “a lot” in the position in the Raiders’ system.
