I want the extend version. This is gold because I know them personally and you are right on the money.

If you don't mind me asking a personal question. What do you do for work ?
I was an industrial chemist/physicist and occasional statistician, but I'm retired now.

After his performance on Friday night, Sam Walker over Mitchell Moses....if Moses can command $1.2m a year wtf is Sam Walker worth? I think unfort he recently resigned with Rorters......geez he'd look good in the blue and white...he's unquestionably the best half prospect at his age...already with 50 NRL games.

It’s must be a failed half, that’s lore of the position

I actually thought he was paying respect and to show tribute.
But if I was wrong and this is a threat then just wow. I will not be meeting up with any kennel meet up in that instance and will stop showing my photo here.
Just wow.

The makeshift has to be Alber Kelly. I thought he played good last year. He carved us up.

I also think Frawley is becoming a better player
Man , they really missed Matt , against the Panthers

I really watCHED Kyle yesteday and yes, he has secere issues in attack as I have revealed to my forum in OP, BUT....man, he is very very sharp defensively and made alot of precision tackles.

I know it isnt a halves job to tackle, but I really am coming ROUND to the idea of Flanno as a backup hooker next year on min wage. Hookers are tacklers.

Flanagan's problem is he's too slow and has no sidestep so he's no threat to the line himself. His kicking game is very average or below also.

His only "go" is a passing game but even with this, have you noticed he never gets injured ? That's because he's the complete opposite of a Kieran Foran. Flanagan doesn't have the balls (guts) to carry the ball into the line for an offload willing to take a hit. He only gets a cut-out pass on average 1 in every few games.

So basically he's completely f..king useless and he's never gonna change unless he grows a pair and if he were it would have happened long before now after all the warnings and chances he's had (more than he deserves)

If we wanted a 7 for his defence we would have been better off keeping Lewis. Lewis could kick better than Flano also.

Hopefully in the few minutes Reynolds gets this weekend he shows Ciraldo he can do more in those few minutes than Flano does in a whole game and the following week Flano is replaced fulltime. Then I'm hoping Oloapu is ready to be elevated soon after. He just needs a bit of work on his defence.
He doesn't get injured despite my constant yelling... 'break him!' when he does get tackled.

KO, Rajab or even Avo as soon as we get some decent props to play regularly besides King. The others either are not worth signing, or won't sign because of their current contracts. Reynolds should not be anywhere near a 6 or 7 jersey at this stage of his career.
I'd rather Rajab than JR. Silly allocation of Top 30 spot.

Even bog average halves like Sexton n Boyd, Fogarty have leant that halves have to run straight - Kao Weeks who probably has more speed n better step did the cross field drifting runs, as perfectly executed by Flanagan, looked z grade.

Rajab and Oloapu both have to be better options than Flanno and Reynolds
A teenage leb kid and a teenage Tongan kid with no experience going to be thrown in together in the NRL…..‘won’t work.

You always need to pair them up with experience. Someone to guide them, hold their hand, when they are down touch their shoulder and grip
