    Lehi Hopoate

    Yep, what stands out to me is his want to get involved, he never shirks the early tackle hit ups from our end and doesn't seem to get ragdolled. In fact his post contact metres for a player of his size are fantastic coupled with his ability to "find his front" for a quick play the ball. He just...

    MVP: Rd 19 v Knights

    3. Brown - 80 minutes in the middle, you could see he wanted to make a difference and he did. 2. Turbo doing Turbo things 1. Brooks - great game and his defence was outstanding

    Announcement Research on the Game Day Experiences of Fans

    Yep. To me the day is about going to the footy. Yes, there is down time between games and halftime but that's what it should be, downtime. Go to the dunny, line up for food or god forbid, chat to the people around you. I don't mind the little kids games being on as a bit of background...

    All NRL Games [Round 19, 2024]

    Yep,it's been changed - the rule as it is now "the Referee may award a penalty try if, in their opinion, a try would have been scored but for the unfair play of the defending team". So while some rules are being made black and white this one is still somewhat arbitrary. I'm of the opinion...

    All NRL Games [Round 19, 2024]

    If that's the benchmark for a Penalty Try then it should stand to reason that a lot of cynical offside plays when defending your line should be too. How many times do we see a player race off the goal line way early and shut down a simple two on one because they were offside and knew it. If...

    [Resurrected] Please, please Trent... Pick Tom Wright

    Nicho Hynes was also in our squad that year but wasn't part of the GF squad, not sure if he was injured or not. Interestingly Naden was fullback for the Panthers that year and Edwards was five eighth.

    Yep, never trust a guy that always wears a suit and tie when it's hot.

    [Resurrected] Please, please Trent... Pick Tom Wright

    Agree. In the Parra squad they had Dylan Brown, Dean Matterson, Mahoney, Keppie, Oregan Kaufusi and Ray Stone as names we recognise and only two still there. I've looked at this over the years and mentioned it previously, the average is around 4 from a 17 man squad that "kick on", not...

    Quac dropped

    True, but that goes back to the coach/selectors. They picked him in the team so should have had a plan when/how to use him, if they didn't then it's on them. The ideal time to sub him in was when we were tearing them a new one in the first half not when the game was in a holding pattern and QLD...

    Origin III - The Decider

    True, but that's somewhat on the coach. Get him in the game when it's meaningful. Game 1 - we were under the pump all game with a player short. Game 2 - we were in a holding pattern the 2nd half just trying to keep them to zero. Should have put on in the first half for a stint when we were...

    Bunker Blunder

    Yep, forward pass calls are a lottery, the ones they call and the ones they don't. Also, on watching the game highlights this morning l'm surprised they didn't scrutinise Saab's last try. When they knocked it on and the ball hits Brown l reckon Jake was in front of him so accidental offside but...

    Origin III - The Decider

    Just heard on the radio (2GB) that Mitch Barnett has been asked to stay in Sydney, the Warriors reckon he'll get a run in game 3. An off the cuff comment that Guac maybe the one under pressure to hold his spot.

    Bunker Blunder

    Just another of the rule interpretations that they're trying to make black and white. It's like if you don't get the ball you need your arms to disappear and/or put yourself in danger and balance yourself. As l mentioned in another thread, if Garrick gets tackled short it's six again and play on.

    Post-Game Discussion Cowboys V Manly [Round 18, 2024]

    Yep, this is another example of why we all get frustrated with the refereeing and bunker. Because we "scored" with the Saab decision the ref knows he can get it checked - and they were never going to overrule it - yet if Garrick doesn't score he would've played on, six again, nothing to see...

    Manly - Top 8

    I don't think so, they're on a run at the moment but with SOO3 still to come they'll be missing at least two, maybe three of their best players ( no more byes) and they'll need to back up too. They'll be running on empty soon enough.

    Garricks performance at centre

    That could be a portent for this weekend. Looking at the line up and bench we can safely assume that Hoppa won't be coming off the bench to play back up dummy half, that's Lawton's job. Could Talau move to the backrow or lock for a short stint with Hoppa to wing?

    Turbo back.. at centre

    Koula at fullback Hoppa @ 14 Interesting.
