    Next 3 weeks crucial.

    Look at the draw for the top 4. They all have games against each other in those 3-4 weeks which means it's highly likely that we get a chance at the top 4 in that game against the Raiders. Massive 4 weeks though. First 3 should be won and need to be won while the game against the Raiders will...

    Soward: Sea Eagles, Raiders among five title contenders - Yep Sowie is making sense

    When you put a team in first place on your rankings it means you consider them the best team in the comp at the moment which I don't agree with and I'm sure Des thinks so too. But I do agree that we're the best team to watch.

    Soward: Sea Eagles, Raiders among five title contenders - Yep Sowie is making sense

    Lol does it really make sense? Beat the best team in the comp by a mile in golden point and we're now first on his ladder? If we're unbeaten by round 24 and beat the Storm again then maybe but it's stupid to say we're the best team in the comp.

    Walker to 5/8 our X factor for finals

    Has a good kicking game in him as well. Which is just as important.

    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Storm v Manly [Round 19, 2019]

    I know you're not the biggest fan of Cust so assumed it was your opinion and not insider knowledge. If true, it does worry me a little that we can't firm up a halves option so close to the end of the season. Any idea on if Croker will slot right back in at 5/8 once Api is back at 9 and Fainu on...

    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Storm v Manly [Round 19, 2019]

    I don't think Cust was dropped as much as he was rested. NRL is tough for a rookie half and it would make sense to let him freshen up before the finals. At the same time, Des would be sending the message that he needs to work on certain aspects of his game. What is more interesting for me is...

    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Knights [Round 20, 2019]

    Will be there for the Knights game. Unfortunately can't make it for the Tigers game (Thursday night timeslot is ****) or the Storm game after that.

    Titans

    Gotta feel for the Titans fans. All 7 of them must be shattered at what's happened there.

    Biggest area for concern

    Was pretty strong in defence today across the park aside from a few lapses. Initially thought we were screwed when I saw him at 5/8 but was happy to be proven wrong.

    Walker to 5/8 our X factor for finals

    I liked what I saw with Croker on the field. We had a couple of beautiful passes between the spine in the second half where in the past Cust has floated it forward but Croker and Walker were able to execute well.

    Biggest area for concern

    You're copping flak because what you say is different to what people see on television but I agree with your call on Cust. Makes some great one-on-one tackles but his reads are fairly poor. Look at when Walker moved to the left edge and it coincides with Cust starting there. Also one of the two...

    Corey Waddell

    He might be destructive on the edge if given the opportunity and he's just had to reel in his game to better suit it in the middle but it's also the result of moving up a grade. Looking at that video, Corey did well against piss-poor defence. More than half of those opportunities wouldn't be...

    Loyalty

    Also don't like the idea of fans paying money to footballers that already earn close to a million just to keep them at the club. As much as I love the Trbojevic brothers, why I should I pay them from my 5 figure salary when they are already earning close to a million bucks from the club? Not...

    Garrick - 2yr deal

    It makes sense to include the word "intentionally" for touch in goal IMO. There'd be too many cases where a team would field a kick from the in goal area and ground the ball accidentally. Similar issue happened when RTS fielded a kick for the Roosters and when the length of the field to score a...

    Garrick - 2yr deal

    Was bothered enough to go back (finding the 2016 rules were a pain) and found the first rule book with mention of intentional grounding was 2017. 2016 still had the words "a defending player touches down in the in-goal area".

    [Resurrected] The 'General' Cust

    After his first few games, I said that he lacked a passing game, kicking game and wouldn't keep his spot once Croker comes back. In the last two weeks he's shown a beautiful pass for Thompson's try and a great grubber for Walker's try. I agree that he doesn't have a great long kicking game but...

    Taufua: Two year contract extension.

    Great to see them kicking away from him, acknowledging that he's not the liability he once was. There was a time when kicking to Jorge would mean a 50-50 chance of getting the ball back. I can't remember the last time he's actually dropped it from a kick this year!

    Garrick - 2yr deal

    They changed the rule to include intent in grounding the ball. Had we scored off that same play it would be a try but like all grey areas, it'd be up to the ref to decide.
