just curious if parra beat broncos by a decent margin can the dogs make the next stage or are they gone
I was surprised with how tall patty is. Always thought he was a bit skinnier but looks solid. Will be hard to chose between him and Reni if there is a bench spot up for grabs. I know Reni is the hardest trainer in the nrl but seem like o'hanlon is a decent back up for Jackson or funicane if either goes down.

I'd rather we go home asap and prepare for season after giving some game time to players who might of needed it.
What was our differential? -33?
I think if broncos get flogged roosters would go thought because they would be -12 and we would still be -21. Goal kicking lost us the chance in the end. Also poor performances in the first two games.
But still happy to beat the roosters
haha. Something that hasn't happened for over 12 months

Chuck Burr, Klemmer, Mbye and Templeman in for that bench spot aswell. They will get their chances during the Origin, Test matches and City-Country period.

Alot of the Warriors do, they will have a good backline this year and if their forwards can hold up against the top teams then they will be a good threat.

I love how their forwards run just hard and straight some of our forwards need to learn how to do that

Yeah too right, they have to be a real title contender this year, if they are not already short odds they should be expected to be the dark horse in this years comp, I am tempted to have a punt on them.

They will easily make the 8.. Johnson and tomkins will have a lethal combo.

I said that to my mate yesterday whilst watching them play, I really agree, Johnson and Tompkins if their 9 form can be replicated in nrl they will be the best half fullback combo in the nrl in my opinion,

Positive points from the nine imo
1- mybe, s standout in attack for me, he will give us another attacking option, he will be in the starting side at some stage this year, and when he is there he will be a permanent player for years to come.
big question is where do we play him, at 5/8 or hooker. Next weeks trial game will be very interesting.
2- burr was also a standout, where most of our forwards are straight up and down, he has size and pace, and he can also create opportunities.
3- ohanlon - showed some promising form in the last game, another back rower who has some size and pace.
Not so positive points --
4- trex, nothing has changed, this format should have suited him, but again he was too flat and slow.
5- our back line, probably the slowest in the comp it seems, and is a real worry. Reynolds and Morris will make a big difference, but we need to inject some speed and flair from somewhere. Maybe we need both Templeman and mybe in the back line?
thats my summary, look forward to the interesting comments lol

Can Mybe play lock? He could play a similar role to what the great Jim Dymock did when he was a Doggy!
The thing with the warriors is they have had amazing success at under 20s level for 3-4 years now. And it's seems those players are finally maturing. So as long as they keep their team together and they can control the ball they will knock off any team. A factor is their coach too.... Not too sure they have the man to lead the teams structure and play. If cleary was still there I would have been more confident in a warriors premiership in the next 3-4 years. Not too sure with that current muppet.
Anyone can buy a premiership (roosters) which brings short term success but to build a dynasty you need to have success at junior level (matts, sg ball, u20 and to a lesser extent nsw cup) and you need to keep that team together. I think hasler is investing strongly in juniors that will be ready in a few seasons (mbye, templeman, graham, Thompson) players that will flourish under haslers structures and training regime.
Biggest concern is getting trex to run onto the ball. But then again we can't see where his head is at in 2014 until the nrl starts.
