Is it a coincidence that Souffs are suffering the same injury epidemic that the Eels encountered for a couple of years. Now who’s in charge of their training this season 🤔
I think our pre season injury list is at least as bad as theirs.

Mitch Moses is not 6 weeks. I was told 2 hours ago the opinion is it’s significantly longer.

It’s a weird one to post. It’s not a positive comment but that’s what I’ve been told.

Prepare for a much longer life without Mitch.

That'd be right....

New coach, new captain...season done before a ball is kicked in anger.

This club is cursed.

The whole thing stinks to me.Everythings fine for the off-season and All this comes out after contract upgrade is sorted a week before season kicks off.

I call bullshit.

Attacking team gets tackled on the 5th at their 30 metre line. They can’t launch a big kick because defending team can take a ‘mark’.
So how do they get to the other end or even out of their own end?
I think he was talking about attacking kicks, not clearing kicks. The problem there is it becomes another thing that requires referee interpretation.

If a team can’t lug it beyond the 30 or even 40 in a set of 6 in this day and age they absolutely should have a hard time.

I’m talking about both. I would consider all of Cleary’s kicking game an eye sore. What he does would be garbage in the 80s or 90s.

Well it all makes sense why he signed so quickly and didnt shop himself around.....and here I was thinking that he is showing his loyalty.....

do you really think he was able to self diagnose the problem back then before he re-signed ?

pretty clever bloke if he did

Maybe. But even good team could get pinned and then it could become a one sided affair, simply to avoid kicks.
I’d like rules that encourage expansive or risky play and the ability to win the ball back.
On kicking, it’s not an easy skill. If it was, everyone half could kick as good as Mitch and he’d have less value. The ability for kickers to drop it close to the line, but not so close to outrigger a 20m tap, is super impressive.
Edit: The ability to drop it close to the line with a 105kg behemoth charging at you, is even more impressive.
