Thing is some people in the game just dont seem to understand basic physics and need to go back and do a little schooling. Just because a ball seems to travel forward doesnt mean its a forward pass if the passer is running forward. Some refs dont seem to get it and make the same mistake over...

or Schuster

I thought their cap space was always dependent upon who with talent was available.

The Sea Eagles are not lucky but they're not yet top shelf. Their attack is markedly better than last year so far but their defense needs work. They're winning because they're getting across the try line more often than last year. This looks a big scoring side and if they can get their defense...

Manly have the skeleton of a very good side. Just need to ensure the middle parts are well occupied. There's a few problem areas that at this stage will debilitate Manly's potential. However we have the fundamentals of a top four side. All depends on whether they meld effectively. I'm a little...

Polynesians' body type are just made for the Rugby codes

Must admit my tears are crocodile like

Gosh they were a top side that Souths bunch in the late 60s early 70s. We had to grab a couple O'Neill, Moses and Brannigan, Easts grabbed Coote and Cleary, Canterbury, McCarthy, Sait to Parramatta. Helped us win our first premiership. Before that though their side was almost star quality...

Mirror mirror on the wall...

Quite reasonable to say Woodsie in my opinion. Last year he lost his way. Injury didnt help but he seemed to lose his enthusiasm. With the opportunity to finally fill the role best suited to him, he went out of his way in the off season to prepare himself. Only injury will stop him from here.

I see him as a lock. Tall, lean, quite fast, good defender and would hang loose for a Schuster special. Mind you I also think Parker would make a top lock as well.

Loved it also

Good side but I'd have Weekes at centre, Garrick on the wing. I'd also be wary of leaving Burbo out of the side. He will improve this year, I can see it happening.

Koula is quicker, more evasive and would create holes more by clever play than brute force. Jamie Lyon was famous for it.

There's a fine line between pleasure and pain. They may fail this year but next year they may be up there.

I understand your frustration Highflyer but then we dont know what the full story is. The manager would be acting at the request of the player. He may suggest options but the player isnt going to just do what the manager tells him to do. That's their decision. Certainly it is confusing that...

Confusing isnt it and another example where we the fans dont seem to be high on the list of being informed about players even though its the supporters that are fundamental to the existence of the football side. I'm wondering if this manager thought there was an open door for these two players...

Like the advise and certainly that's a part of his game he had in the juniors. However comparing him with Thurston and idolising Slater. Hmmm. Easily as clever as them probably more so. But though he's quick, he's got no chance of outpacing those two.

Just plain infantile stupidity SER8. I would expect that of a 4 year old pulling the girls hair in the next row. There's a lot of growing up some footballers need to do. Bodies of 21 year old, minds of kindergarten student.s

Hey all you have to do is look at American voters who still voted for Trump.
