I might be in the minority but I don't think BJ was lazy in defence before the Roosters scored their match winner. I think that play was just an example of how a good old fashioned legs tackle isn't rewarded any longer.
Yep, 100% spot on.
Nothing lazy about his play. He made a great legs tackle, and unfortunately in today's game, thats punished. Kudos to the roosters for identifying it , and attacking a 3-2 and executing it perfectly
No one did anything wrong on that play. You cant make a clean legs tackle like that and "win" the ruck... which is wrong but it is what it is.
I can’t believe you guys have been able to watch a replay of the gf to analyze it.
well, I guess you could say that I'm buy curious.

A couple of years ago I managed to watch the 2003 final vs the Warriors when it was replayed. I expect a similar wait to rewatch the 2019 GF.

I watched the highlights once, and that’s it.
It confirmed my initial live thoughts good and bad about the two key plays... both involving Beej

If we do lose bj, as expected, thoughts on signing Adam Doueihi? I thought he was one of the bunnies most dangerous players last year. He can play in the halves and in the backline so could be an option if g williams doesnt work out or slot in the backline should we get an injury. With his versatility, he could aslso do a job for us off the bench.

It has been reported that he is on $500k. It would be a firm no for me at that price.

No inside info. Just reading the tea leaves.

I read they are after both brothers.

I'd like to see the club make a play for Tony Gigot. He's a French international and has just left Catalans after, apparently, falling out with the hierarchy.

He's an excellent full back and stand off, and a very serviceable centre. I've no doubt he's good enough to make it in the NRL and he'd be a great squad player, undoubtedly on minimum wage.

I really like Gigot as a player but I’m not sure he’d slot in at NRL level. Could possibly play a Simonsson role off the bench.

I'm guessing you're thinking of Thomas Bosc.

Here's some highlights of Gigot



I can't imagine they'd be a better value backline cover player anywhere.

If we did, there’s a “Gigotty Gigotty” sign begging to be made
Feel free to call me RickyRicky StickStick if you like. I will also accept Super Fui, King Brad, Kid Dynamite, Chocolate-Thunda... or Brad.

He looks awesome...

In attack. Shame there's only 15 seconds of him tackling -but it looks as though he has all the other skills - including field goals and somewhat dodgy goalkicking!

If he could spend his time training fulltime for defence, then yeah, why the hell not?

Gee it’s nice coming across smart **** people who have to be an **** for no reason.
I did t know that the Tigers just signed Luciano from Dragons for 2020.
That’s who I was talking about but instead of asking about the other brother you have to be a smart ****.
You like that to people all day ?

Yes but not many people know Luciano was just signed from Dragons for 2020.
So people assumed they were chasing him. I just don’t get why people have to be a smart **** over a comment that someone may get wrong or had misinformation.
Like why insult a person you don’t know does it make people feel all tough inside sitting behind their keyboard. Since when did GH members become such **** ?
That why’s they have these sites so people can learn get yo to date not attacked by some child on a keyboard. It saying that’s you but.....

Xerri is contracted with the Sharks until the end of 2021, we can only realistically be looking at players who are off-contract at the end of 2020 and seek an early release or players who have been given permission by their club to look for a deal elsewhere
