We've been screwed so many times over the past year with a winger or outside back going down causing a major reshuffle. With this rotation hopefully it's as simple as Tracey covering anything 1-7 and taafe to fb. Interestingly Brisbane have a similar bench this week with smoothy and sailor.

Unfortunate for taafe but I just don't see how xerri or Tracey can be dropped after tonight

Tracey and allow him to play a traditional role. It looked like crichton was semi playing fullback at times in attack which wasn't really working.

The little fuck is 60kg, how's he manage a strip on a front rower and then goes over like that

If the clubs latest social media post is anything to go by, he looks to be in. They cut to him a number of times in the post. They did the same with xerri last week.

Has anyone heard how long max king will be out for? Tossing up whether to boost to trade him out, flick Curran up to frf and bring in eli katoa

Did any of these 10 play in round 3??? I'd take tino and fotuaka and pass on everyone else.

Imagine the chaos Morrin would have caused last night in slippery conditions

It also indirectly impacts results to the extent that a couple back to back completely drains the gas tank of sides.

I like Burton at 6 and would prefer Tracey at 1, however we didn't get a sniff down their end nearly all half so hard to judge that combination

Curran can't go near the edge again, multiple soft attempts lead to tries

Is our social media team on leave or something? They haven't posted a player or coach interview since round 3...

Are we allowed to boo mulitalo when we have sharks at home?

Dumb article, one extra try across the four games would put us roughly on par with last year's average. Every man and his dog knows kikau scored against cronulla so problem solved.

I can see Salmon potentially covering Preston, Curran starting at 13 and faumasilli taking the bench spot.

The outside shoulder ruling is a complete farce. If the centre decided to jam in on salmon, which is the whole purpose of the decoy run, they'd rule he ran inside shoulder. The fact the centre stayed out means they judged it outside shoulder of the defender inside him. A lead runner shouldn't...

The fox shows are hit and miss in terms of a proper review of the games. Bloke in a bar on YouTube is great for this as they dedicate 20-30mins to talk on each game of the round.

The outside shoulder rule in particular is completely ridiculous. If you're running at a hole between two defenders who's to say if you're running at an inside or outside shoulder?

Was there not a hand from the titans into Burton????

We need to kick in behind to keep them honest. They're constantly shooting up out of the line to shut us down on the left.

We deserved to cop that try. Two markers going the same way is amateur

They'll have to scrap this article after knight puts an absolute clinic on Tino

Did anyone really perform that badly last week to warrant being dropped?

I find it amusing how a lot of the media then use the opposite narrative for Burton

Great stuff from ciraldo calling out the absolute nonsense decisions

We essentially did. Everyone knows tryndall was never stopping kikau and wilson was marginally off scoring our second.

How does that not even warrant a review wtf?

Was the same for Tracey last week. Was named on the reserve list but not in cup.

To my point, seeing him play centre in elite sides versus 6 in a bulldogs side isn't an even comparison. You may be right I just think we may be overestimating the impact he'd make at centre.

Being fed opportunities in one of the greatest sides of the modern era should not be the reference point for where he should play at the dogs.

The club will likely resign to moving him on before he's shifted there. He's on too much money for him to play there long term considering we have Crichton on the other edge. No point loosing other quality outside backs whose paths are blocked in the meantime.

From the little I saw of cup he looked good yesterday as well. Completely burnt one of the Parra backs for a try

Even the attack isn't as horrible as what's being made out. We had roughly three sets in Parras 20 and scored twice with a heavily reshuffled backline. They had 50 touches and scores three times with one off a kick.

Move him anywhere you like but we won't win any football games when giving sides 70% possession.

Get xerri and Tracey in asap holy shit

Forget about attack, we've been parked in our end for 40mins

Warriors very predictable all second half. Barely any input from metcalf to take pressure off johnson

Tom Hazleton at the sharks could be a handy pick up. I believe he's off contract and will have to complete with afb, Hamlin uele, hunt and Williams next season.

Anyone got an idea why Tracey is on the reserves list but not named in cup?

Burton at centre only makes sense if critta excels at fb. Playing both at centre looks nice on paper but will screw our cap up massively.

I like wilson but he hasn't come close to what we were seeing from kiraz before his injury last year. If he's fit, kiraz walks back in.

His work rate was excellent in both trials. I'd be shocked if he hasn't earnt a spot round 1. Just curious what side he'll play as he moved to the left as soon as critta went off.

We don't see it because it doesn't exist. These are all his touches in attacking territory outside those two kicks I mentioned. Bar the one that had xerri put over the sideline, I don't see one of these opportunities that he apparently wasted, nor do I find any of them poor by any stretch. Touch...

After rewatching the trial on youtube i still don't understand the narrative that he was poor. Apart from two kicks where he got the depth wrong, he created some good opportunities for taafe and xerri (who nearly got over the line), good kick chase which trapped pezet in goal, and nearly scored...

Not his best 40mins but he was no where near as bad as people are making out

All his junior footy and Australian schoolboys were in the halves so he'd be comfortable enough there

Tracey and taafe likely cover Crichton in terms of ballplaying and pure speed so are probably better options when you factor in Burton's reliance on his running game. Tracey my preference given how hard he competes. If injury strikes, bring taafe on at fb and Tracey can then cover anywhere in...

I think Gus' hit rate is alright considering he's brought over kikau, mahoney and crichton in the space of two years. Xerri was also had strong demand once he became available.

Once again, Mahoney and kikau napping

What hope do we have when it’s constantly our senior players doing dumb shit

Sorry Gus, signing kikau, Crichton, Mahoney, oloapu, Preston, Xerri within two years is simply not good enough

Story sounds a bit suspect. Seems like a bold move for a guy who’s been out injured most of the year and plays in the middle. How complex could the system be for a front rower?

Personally I don’t get the news around Sutton being free to look elsewhere. Only joined this year, has had unfortunate injuries and our middle was no where near as fragile when he was starting.

Most of the tries we concede have nothing to do with systems. Bit of a lost cause if the coach has to waste time teaching them how to make basic tackles and not let in dummy half tries.

Get fucked Reynolds

Get fucked that’s disgusting

Lol tinos on reed was 10x worse

We were wrong, tevita is a genius lol

Big day for the club and they dish up this garbage, useless

I don’t think he was taking a swipe at Des, he’s merely saying no one has properly addressed the issues since he left, which we all know to be true.

We desperately need Gus’ stature in the game if we’re to attract the players to get out of this mess. Doubt we’re even in the conversation with guys like Kikau, Mahoney, Crichton, Oloapu and Xerri without him.

I have no issue with the broncos paying him less, but the fact he’s recorded on their cap at 200k is ludicrous. Guys like Thompson and kikau will play less games for us this year than hunt will at the broncos but their full value is reflected in our cap position.

How can the nrl not see how ridiculous it is? Sure the broncos should only pay him pro rata but the full freight should apply to their cap.

It seems the club is taking a gamble on Xerri panning out. Wouldn’t make sense to have averillo, xerri and alamoti all on decent contracts next year when one is likely to be in reserves.

The sharks didn't have immediate success with Flanagan either. They only won 7 games in his first full season there.

Fucking clown show, knock on every day of the week

The outside shoulder garbage is subjective as fuck. Depends what defender commits

What is Parker smoking on this panel. Fucking dumbass

Perham has become the scapegoat so Ciraldo will probably get bagged until he’s dropped for someone who either isn’t ready or isn’t as good

Fixing the defence needs to come first. I’d rather us win 12-10 then have to win 26-24 to cover up soft tries like fonua Blake’s last night or the dozen tries of kicks we copped last week.

Why are we the only fan base who wants their biggest strike player further away from the ball?

That’s what I don’t understand. We were no where near as soft through the middle against packs like parramatta, souths and Cronulla but we’ve been terrible against lesser sides like canberra and warriors. Probably underestimating the loss of Sutton who was playing well.

Fucks me off that we’ve played the shittest against fraud sides like the raiders and warriors

Get him out of first grade fuck me

Raiders are fucking average, we played better against souths, parra and sharks. Fucking frustrating the amount of shit tries we’ve conceded

Looked like fogarty caught it on the inside of the lead runner

Brown back on the bench would be a nice inclusion. Thought he was very good in the role before injury

How have we been dominated by these pack of nobodies

Clearly the other 15 clubs aren’t selling themselves well or we wouldn’t be ending up with them all. Blame them.

2012 got 3.9m viewers also

Makes about as much sense as the fact all the tournament branding says Rugby League World Cup 2021

My thoughts exactly. They’ve shown them like five times we don’t give a fuck

Sports becoming an embarrassment

They’ve gone to shit after robsons bad error after points

Fuck it’s embarrassing losing to these clowns

Has to be more to it than that. What could a 12 year old playing on the same team as his son possibly do on the field to trigger such comments so many years later?

Penrith are a tough task but I don't see another team in the 8 that we wouldn't compete heavily against with our current form.

Well they have far less pacific island players in their squad for a start and Papalii just picked samoa for the world cup. Conveniently NSW only seem to not get origin the years they lose.

How can these donkeys sit across from Morris who chased down GI with a blown out knee and say NSW don't get origin?

It's a risk either way really. The team's form under Potter could be a reflection of the pressure being completely off them. We finished the 2018 and 2019 season winning 5 of our last 6 under Pay.

since when is there a ruling of minimal contact what the fuck is this

Is that a 'gagais a wanker' chant going around?

With all this talk of loans, maybe roosters, parra or souths can loan us their top 8 spot

Pack of dumb fucks souths

Makes sense considering they loaned them grant in the past

So annoying, these bums don't even deserve to be close

im fucking over it another from a kick

seriously another fucking try off a kick

in terms of form he might just be in the top 5 hookers....mission accomplished

jmk the messiah
