Peter Lang from western weekender said a few weeks ago that he heard that Huth would be coaching NSW Cup. Huth not named as a player in any team since the start of the season. Not injured as far as I am aware.

Word is they have to wait until the NRL officially medically retires him. Before it's announced by the club.

I ignore umina, have done for years. Praise be to God for the scroll bar :) I am sure that Umina would be a lot better if he stopped trying to be sensationalist.
To be fair, he is usually the first to admit when he is being a dick. Also has a pretty decent strike rate when calling stuff out. Tago is a good example, he has had all and sundry saying he has been off his head for the best part of 2 years, now the consensus is Tago needs to get it together or be moved on.

I might be weird though, I enjoy the majority of the contributions on here, dont agree with all of them, but still get something out of it.

I used to pay about $35 for a grandstand seat, just in front of the camera. best view in the house. Price is now about double. due to Bathurst Council.
and that is the issue when buying for a family. So expensive, then you add in food and drink and the price goes through the roof.

I don't suppose they'd be much change from about $300 factoring how much some kids eat too.

To be honest quite grateful that my children are all grown. So if you can bring some iced water in flasks and sandwiches it would help out.

Terminal Plod. No cure apparently.

Huth is the ploddiest plodder to have ever plodded.

Looked like Payne Haas in reggies and bent the line like Ben Czislowski in first grade.

A great fill in and club man but I'm glad he didn't take the field in any of the GFs.

I'll admit Chins was right. I gave Tago very excuse under the sun. Over the off season I reflected and hopefully learnt the error of my ways......Good call Chins.
Did anyone watch the levels podcast this week. I watch most rugby league poddys.....they discussed Tago ideas about holistic medicine and his refusal of protein powders. It was a fascinating listen.

1 hour 38 mins in.(on Part 1 of their podcast this week) Someone (was it you chins). Horro believes maybe Tago hasn't recovered properly from that pec injury from a couple of years ago.

Off the ex player podcasts this one can be quite insightful.

Still a very good player in Tago but with his view of medicine as well as strength and conditioning I'm pretty sure he'll never reach his potential.
He seems like a very interesting bloke but I'm not sure he loves footy as much as he really needs to.

For a guy that had 2 shoulder reconstructions. A tumor calved out of the bone in his leg. The bone filled up with bone cement. All in his early 20's, before he had made his FG debut.
I think Huth has done alright.
Holy shit I had no idea about the bone tumor. To go on and play rugby league at any level after something like that is to be commended.

I think giving Tago time and space to get himself right was the right move and dropping him two years ago would have been a mistake. Even now the idea of potentially moving him on is purely due to the relative value of the rest of the backline and imperatives like keeping Casey, PA etc.

Love me some Chins but Ivan and the coaching staff have been borderline flawless in how theyve managed the roster these past few years. I dont think Tago is any exception to that.

I would still back us against anyone in big games, That includes Tago for us.

We have a few guys who can phone in performances from time to time.

Martin and Moses are in that group.

Tago has the highest floor for those games, Maybe he has that out of his game if he spent a month down there 2 seasons ago

The Sharks have collapsed against our boys in near every non origin period game in the Pantherball era.

I should have realised something was up at the start of last season when they scored 22 points or so in Vegas.

Hopefully that was just a blip.

We will grind a win like we did last week
