Good luck Sid. You've been at this for a few years now. I really hope you can crack it.

Re: Through green eyes 2024

I went to the NSWRL website and it looks like Raiders v Warriors NSW Cup match will be shown today on live stream at 2pm. Pretty much agree with your ratings GE although the two Xav try savers would have had him up to 7 for me. I am finding it tough that Guler is getting longer minutes than Papa. O...

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day

Also the Tapine try: I didn't notice Tapine "knock on". Both him and RTS touched the ball simultaneously and Tapine regained it. Play on.. Given they did it one handed on opposite sides of the ball that’s instantly a knock on. Then it’s just down to which one you believe touched it first ...

Re: Through green eyes 2024

I agree with all of that write-up GE. In the NFL teams work on two minute drills. Their 'go-to' plays to win a game at the death. We tried our equivalent tonight and it just looked like utter chaos. There didn't appear to be any cohesion or plan, but this is our DNA. Individual brilliance or crash b...

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day

In one sense it's not a great time to be playing the Warriors. They've lost two games they really could or should have won, but CNK, Walker and Egan missing (if Egan is indeed missing) is a great time to play them. Shut-down Johnson and limit AFB's impact and we're a real chance. As much as it is a ...

Re: 2024 NRL Round 3: Teams and Game Day

That ball playing from Cleary was something special. Thurston and Johns like. He always had that lack of big game winning mentality hanging over his head - ie winning big games single-handedly. Last year's grand final seems to have been the game to really take him to the next level. He's an elite p...

How nice is it to see the Knights imploding early doors. Apparently Hasting went home after being dropped rather than training with NSW Cup. Honestly, they lose Ponga and they are spooners.

Re: 2024 NRL Round 2: Teams and Game Day

Decent game at Brookvale. Manly could be a challenger this year, depending on that hamstring. Brooks playing well without the pressure he had before. Roosters getting away with slowing the ruck too much, when in the red zone.

They deadset phoned it in on that list. Have a few of the notable rep players on higher values e.g. Tapine, Young, Papalii. The rest they have thrown into a bucket around $400k-$500k. Looks like they just threw the names into a spreadsheet and ran a simple formula. By "they" I'm assuming ...
