I'll admit, it has been pretty good this year, I would of thought the point of Havili was to give Hodgo a rest, and same as Collins for papa. Get some minutes in the legs of those guys in case we need themUltima wrote:He was OK on some of our games. I'm not liking this Papalli for a full half and constantly wasting of fresh bench players though.Neeeegz wrote: ↑September 7, 2019, 5:25 pm Well, one thing hasn't changed this year and that's rickys abysmal bench usage

Even more so if we are going to waste a bench spot 80% of the time anyway by not using them or throwing them on in the last five minutes why not carry a back for backup???
I'm dirty on papa and Hodgo getting too many minutes and I'm filthy on Hudson. That's his career at Canberra gone in my opinion.-PJ- wrote:This is weird. Before this game was played a lot of us..including me weren't too fussed if we got beat.
Blokes rested, top 4 sewn up, blah blah.
But I'm dirty with that..real dirty !
There’s a pretty big difference in talent and potential there too imo.kona_dream wrote: ↑September 7, 2019, 5:57 pm So far the difference between Hudson and Redhorse is that Redhorse seems to have learned from his earlier indiscretions. This is why he will be a key part of the finals campaign.

Horsburgh will play Origin I reckon.
If we go well in the finals I reckon he will play next season. Qld are struggling big time for tough forwards. He reminds me of a young Klemmer honestly.Neeeegz wrote: ↑September 7, 2019, 6:32 pmYep I think horse will, for sure in a few yearsjulian87 wrote:There’s a pretty big difference in talent and potential there too imo.kona_dream wrote: ↑September 7, 2019, 5:57 pm So far the difference between Hudson and Redhorse is that Redhorse seems to have learned from his earlier indiscretions.

Ok let’s sit down and call it a tie so we both make the finals instead of the Broncos and we don’t upset Jake any further.
I don't think he quite has the rig or impact of a Klemmer but he's gone very well vs some very good packs the last 6 weeks. I wouldn't be too surprised if he's in the Origin squads next year, if he keeps up this level of play. As you said, Qld are light on for forwards depth right now and he's got the attitude.julian87 wrote: ↑September 7, 2019, 6:33 pmIf we go well in the finals I reckon he will play next season.

He’s got a rawness about him that’s hard not to like. He’s not as polished as the young Bronco forwards but I feel like he could end up being anything.PigRickman wrote: ↑September 7, 2019, 6:59 pm Yeah I might have to eat some **** on Hors
I said a few games after his debut that he didn’t strike me as a rep player... he may not ever rep footy but my assessment that it was probably beyond him is certainly looking a bad call
Not an unpopular opinion at all.julian87 wrote: ↑September 7, 2019, 6:03 pm Unpopular opinion here.
We didn’t play well. Reflecting on that I almost reckon it’s a better situation for the group to learn from than a 2 point win in that situation. They know they’re welcoming back some of the hardest players in the competition next week and they know they have to take their performance seriously. I don’t think it will worry even one of them that they can’t get it done but I think it saves any chance of complacency knowing they played like **** but won anyway.
Papa scored a try off the same "fake run around" play a week or two ago. It's a nice variation as the defence can't give up on Papa or Hodgo as they are both threats at that range. I'd LOVE to see a variation where Hodgo and Papa set up for the same run around with Wighton/CNK/Simo/Bateman (anyone with footwork) looking like the runner after Hodgo has done the run around but the runner cuts back inside, Papa holds it like he'll run the fake run around then either puts the runner in the hole after defence hits him or offloads to that runner.RedRaider wrote: ↑September 7, 2019, 6:58 pm Looking for some positives, Papa was immense. The try from a standing start and crashing through was sensational. He should get his Kangaroos jersey back. The Oldfield try was fantastic Rugby League. A shame about his shoulder. The attitude of the side seemed to change from that moment on. EWs commitment to keeping the ball in play for the Kris try was fabulous.
Only Guler and Sutton looked to drive Warriors back in defence. If more players do that it will lift the side.
Bring on the Storm.

Thanks lads. It's been a long afternoon.gangrenous wrote:

I wouldn’t sweat it too much Jake. Your team just finishing top 4 and is injury free and ready to roll the Storm.
Whoops I didn't mention Hodgo faking to go right and running to the left for his try. He caught them asleep on the blind side and had the pace to finish it off.BadnMean wrote: ↑September 7, 2019, 7:14 pmPapa scored a try off the same "fake run around" play a week or two ago.

Papa is the best prop in the game.
Yeah Oldy in full flight was glorious. Love it when a winger backs themselves, forgets slowing for support and just pins the ears back.
I'm not at all happy either, particularly as it was all self inflicted, starting on Teamlist Tuesday. And even putting the issue of resting players aside... that team should have won, was in a position to win, and ill discipline, error and poor, no, soft defence cost the Raiders the game.The Rickman wrote: ↑September 7, 2019, 5:05 pm That game was **** garbage. I’m furious about that, and I haven’t said that too many times this season.

18-month ban for a positive drug test as a teenager about five years ago. It is believed the youngster had inadvertently used a tainted store-bought supplement, with a revamped ASADA now looking to educate athletes nationwide about the possible risks associated with such products.
They found that of the 67 products, 13 contained one or more substances that are banned in sport. Importantly, none of the 13 products listed any banned substances on their ingredients list.
