the best effort was channel nine commentators and media making up bullshit to try and keep it interesting
To beget winners we need to bring in winners way we are travelling you think guns wanna come to us we gotta pay way overs These days only a handful of players are worth overs the rest are average nurture the juniors I couldn’t give a shit about buying a comp I’d rather have an ongoing production line be competitive year in year outI'm trying to be optimistic and say that the smarter of our young players will build character now for the years to come. Experiencing narrow losses to teams like storm and south will explain to them what those teams do to close a game out. It takes time.
And they gotta learn to show up when they play lesser teams like saints parra and warriors. Those floggings do nothing for their game development.
When the time comes to spend on marquee players, we hope these current players are ready and conditioned to win.
You know what man, a lot of people actually didn’t. They didn’t look at our squad objectively at all and I think they’re the ones most butt-hurt at the moment.I'll have to agree with you. Most of us saw this type of season coming so my hopes haven't really been shot down lol. The young guys will be better off for it.
Ofa, R. Smith, Meaney will be great players in a couple of years imo.
Okunbar and Lewis are shit thoughI'm sick of reading in here players like okunbor, Lewis and other rookies are shit. They aren't shit, they are inexperienced. It's hard when u have the least experienced spine in nrl history. Neither Okunbor or Lewis have any experienced mentors in the side.
Foran was always going to have a huge impact on our chances this year, and myself and others said so here pre season. Cogger might end up ok later but hes even less experienced than Lewis. We need Forans experience in the halves otherwise the bus is being driven by L platers. Foran being out now has screwed us. By the time a cogger - Lewis combo gets traction our season will be over.
If Foran goes down again this year we have to let him go and spend his money on someone worth that much not 5 more juniors. I have agreed with getting juniors in so far, but now all we have is juniors.
While Forans current injury isnt related to his previous ones, and more unlucky than anything, some players playing style can also make them injury prone.
Lewis behind that up and coming broncos pack would go close to dominating the comp again...Yeah I did mate but they won’t be the only ones I really don’t want this kid to be one of the ones that come back to haunt us and if Lewis gets behind a decent forward pack he’ll go to the next level and I know for a fact the broncs frothing to get him in their halves
I was waiting for someone to say that... We actually sparked and started gaining momentum when Lichaa came on... The whole game turned, then he reverted to some of his dumb passing like the rubbish ball to Elliot to close the game. Regardless his useless off the bench if that's meant to be an impact player through the middle.Souths were shit because we dragged them down to a street fight
Kudos to us for not getting spanked
If Pay drops Lichaa we will win more games because when he comes on down the stretch with game in the balance he completely fkd our attack, momentum any chance of winning
This falls squarely on Pay for his love for him
What other team has a specialist hooker on bench and plays one prop from bench?
We are already disadvantaged before we take the field
I like how Mortimer was having a nice dnm with Lachie before the game. Get the right players around Lewis and he'll lead us to a premiership.Your spot on about The Prince. We havent seen anywhere the best in this kid has a long way to go he will be in high demand, i do feel he loves the dogs though
Yeah they’ve got some real fire power coming through in the forwards Lewis would kill it behind those yong blokesLewis behind that up and coming broncos pack would go close to dominating the comp again...
Hasn't helped Nikorima or Fat barba. Broncos have the same problem and will also be 1-5 after raiders beat them. Difference is their halves have experience but are ordinary, and ours are too inexperienced to steer the ship. Same result. Bad halves, bad year.Lewis behind that up and coming broncos pack would go close to dominating the comp again...
That was a good effort from Meaney. He was really inconvenienced after injuring himself but did not shirk his responsibilities. Showed some ticker.Fuck yeah bro and Meaney defending in the line after splitting his hand open and then coming back on after getting it stitched was old school tough as well these kids are just going to get better and better
Ten rep players from internationals to S.O.O and All stars etc. in the Souths side compared to four for us plus their spine has 432 games to our 78 ( Johnson 113: Walker 76: Reynolds 164: Cook 79)See above BUT Souths are packed with good solid players plus marquee players, they should have put 20+ points on us atleast…..and didn't.
Nikorima and Milford are scrapers... Lewis can control a team.Hasn't helped Nikorima or Fat barba. Broncos have the same problem and will also be 1-5 after raiders beat them.
