Did Alamoti do anything in approx 20 games this year that would lead you to believe he isan above average first grade centre? I think without the hype many more people would have been calling for him to be dropped/released etc. IMO Kerrod Holland was more impactful in his first season of first...
Davey didn't play in first grade until Round 7, which was off the bench, same as his other appearance in Round 8 also off the bench. With Kikau injured for both you dopey *****.
I can live with it being called forward, but I just can't hack the inconsistencies in refereeing at the moment. In 99% of games this year Tupouniua is in the bin, just like the clear obstruction when lost to Warriors earlier in the year. We always cop the 1%
Was hard to split Napa, Allen and Thompson.
-Napa because he was useless and lazy af.
-Allen because big contract and hardly even managed 1st grade.
-Thompson because heralded as top prop in the uk and possibly game. He’s been average.
Isn’t it funny that our best aren’t usually in the team, eg Schoupp and Kiraz. Young Billy was solid too. Just shows that some of these old heads need a rocket and to know they aren’t entitled to a position.
okunbor = not 1st grade standard
Jackson = so past it it’s unbelievable, he’s a toiler...
Exactly right.
I don’t think you can compare the 2 teams, and that’s not defending Barrett.
Fitzy inherited a top 8 team and added a couple of good players.
Barrett inherited surely the worst roster in the NRL, it was as bad as 2006 or worse.
Maybe Baz isn’t the coach but I don’t think we...
But how can anyone possibly decide if most of those decisions are busts yet.
People into Naden, it’s been 6 rounds, like we can’t get a semi decent read on player performance until the midway point of the season.
We have lost to Panthers, Storm and Rabbits who are all locks for a top 4 spot.
We...
I thought Barrett was going to be a good coach.
I believed he needed time, he hasn’t had as much time as a new coach should get.
But the team doesn’t seem to be getting better, it’s hard to watch after some positives from first 3 weeks.
Buzz and half of the people engaging in this don’t realise there is a difference between a training shirt and training jersey. The training shirt is $80, the jerseys have been offered by the club before and around the same price as a match day jersey. For reference the chooks offer a training...
Plenty of players play Basketball, train on their own, race up the corso etc. Shit can happen any time, obs don’t need to take unnecessary risks but really oztag no different to any other non contact
He has been our best player at times, and has deteriorated rapidly this season.
Glad to see him go on current form and effort. Regretful that he never got to experience much success with us.
Just read a telegraph article saying we don’t want TPJ UNTIL NEXT YEAR… the fuckwits that run our club are seriously cast if this is true… just get him if you want him ffs
You do realise the total wagered on NRL is far far below alot of sports?
The only good point that’s been made is that NRL does have an easier way than most sports for an official to affect the outcome. The 6 again rules and the way that many decisions are open to interpretation does leave the...
Not exactly true, it depends entirely on the match. Some matches they will lay their liability in play, other times they will put their nuts on the line. All depends on heaps of factors.
The idea that betting agencies and bookies are influencing results is ludicrous.
The far more likely...
Cotrics’ errors are in line with the rate of errors of most leading wingers, remember high rate of errors because of being pushed into touch, defending kicks etc. Averillo tackle efficiency not that bad compared to a lot of other halves as well.
Agree but whilst he is there he chews up significant cap space and they have suitable replacements ready for starting roles. Purely speculation though.
Fuck I don’t know, if it wasn’t for the huge contract I’d love to keep him. He makes some dumb errors but he wears his heart on his sleeve and is obviously a good clubman/leader given his captaincy of kiwis....
I can’t remember who said it, but at the start of the year someone said we had a bust up with Tyran Smith and hence the reason Reimis is gone, his other 2 clients Hoppa and DWZ both look like going.
