Season Preview: NFC NFC East Dallas Cowboys: Well they won the division last year and pretty handily. Their OL is obviously exceptional, and Zeke was a monster.

Re: NFL Thread

Ben gets hit because, like Luck, he holds the ball, and plays off schedule and late in the down
Their line is definitely pretty good

The bears interior of their line is maybe the best in the league. Easy top 10 for both

I really think the Titans OL is as good as any Their tackles are exceptional. I'm a little worried about Cooper playing LG and Collins playing RT.

Did whitehead play 80mins in the middle ? Or did he go back to the right wen tapine went off ? I was trying to follow that throughout the game actually.

Re: Canberra set to re-sign Whitehead to end 2020

So a player moving from second row to lock and getting a ton more metres and another player moving from front row to second row and having his metres significantly drop aren't at all related to the positional switch?

It's rather amazing is it? Whitehead plays on the edges, and he doesnt make a lot of metres.

Will Raiders have to shed players in 2018 due to the cap?

Not DFJ's sole decision
That was a decision made by the board who elected to hire Stuart and grant him that power.

And no I'm not guessing regarding complete control of his roster. That is what it is.

Will Raiders have to shed players in 2018 due to the cap?

The NRL sent an email out to all of the clubs telling them to budget to a certain figure. I believe it was $9.1m. We decided to commit to pay players more than that.

Re: Canberra set to re-sign Whitehead to end 2020

I was furious that he was deployed in the middle against the Sharks and ate up the metres with 17 runs. What a waste! He is clearly best utilised on the end of the forward pack with minimal hit ups (to preserve energy!) and where he can show off his Thurston esque five eighth skills. Disgusting by ...

Put bluntly, you are wrong Ricky Stuart IS the final decision maker on his roster.

Just because Ricky loves Jack and reckons he wouldn't swap him for any other Fullback in the comp, doesn't mean Rick Stuart is the one you allow to put a figure on his contract. That's about governance. That is the CEO's role. If he can't influence his head coach who makes emotional decisions, and ...

Yes it is. CEOs are the final pen on big decisions. To have budgeted for the cap to be $9.5-10mil, and be wrong, was a dumb gamble. It was a dumb gamble that was unnecessary.
