    Week 3 Finals v Melbourne

    Youve kinda missed the whole point of the discussion Bx. Not what i was talking about at all. Not sure how recruiting kids...14 year olds... has anything to do with bringing in blokes on the cusp or in the nrl

    Week 3 Finals v Melbourne

    Hes passing has been great this year.. he has laid on a number of tries and line breaks. He has slowly improved every year in the nrl and ill back him to slowly keep improving in that regard. Doing a long kick here or there is different to being a full time kicker and kicking under pressure...

    Week 3 Finals v Melbourne

    Alamoti is 19. Always been a highly talented kid. Pretty standard for players like him to struggle in grade especially in an avg team.. used to carving up and dominating in juniors and get a real shake and wake uo in nrl against season players. I personally think he will really push for a...

    Week 3 Finals v Melbourne

    Exactly... call it what you like.. Off the cuff Game breaker X factor... Basically theirs 3 or 4% of players in the comp that can do stuff others just cant do. Edwards will never ever ever do what walsh can in attack... no matter how much training he gets or how good the coaching is. Hes...

    Week 3 Finals v Melbourne

    Mate you talk about teaching a kid to defend in a structure in your first paragraph. Second paragraph you are saying that they need to be a good defender to be recruited. The defence in matts, ball, flegg suggests the vast majority of kids are pretty avg defenders. Players like jennings...

    Week 3 Finals v Melbourne

    I actually think twal will be a great signing. I watched most of the tigers games this year amd he was one of their best. Has a good step at the line and a knack for beimg able to brush of the first man. Good business by gus that if its for the right price.

    The overwehelming evidence proves otherwise

    Week 3 Finals v Melbourne

    Defence like i said is attitude.. it comes down to the player. This isn't new... listen to any commemtator whose played nrl any week and they will say 3 or 4 times a game defence is an attitude thing.. If a bloke that is an avg defender is willing to get better and learn and put his body on...

    Week 3 Finals v Melbourne

    Spot on Ill will add their are plenty of people that do get brought in or recruited for their defensive game and general hard work... But as you, its much easier to teach someone good defence than it is somehow make them faster, stronger, and teach them game breaking skills. Anyone that...

    Week 3 Finals v Melbourne

    You cant teach players x factor. Few have real nrl star quality x factor. Ponga, walsh, latrell etc. Blokes that can literally do something from absolutely nothing when they have no right to. Thats not stuff any nrl coach has taught them... for the most part they have all been doing the...

    Week 3 Finals v Melbourne

    No doubt structures help and are a big part... but You still need enough speed on the edges to counter him. Everyone watched him carve up nsw... They attack in a way that the play very direct which keeps the defence from sliding and walsh drifts out the back... So essentially you have...

    Week 3 Finals v Melbourne

    Kenny is capable of 80 and i think we need him out there the next 2 weeks for all of it. Hes the best middle defender at the club bar maybe yeo but hes line speed and ability to stop a bigger man in their tracks is unmatched. Against two big packs we need him. Tago i think really needs to be...

    Cant see the broncs winning by anything less than 18 or so tbh... Storm and us should be much closer.. We should be good enough to win but luai playing not 100% is a concern imo.. i think we risk giving him another week.. if we lose i dont think he makes a difference anyway.. not at 80 or...

    Week 1 Finals v NZW

    Thought we weren't clinical. But did the job. Broncs i think are really the team to beat. Walsh at the back is a bit of a kyrptonite for us. Fast lethal fbs we tend to find harder to defend on an edge. Its hard to see them missing the gf. I think we will need to be at our absolute best to...

    Chins is done. Just another woke loser that sees some bs stats from a journo outlet that is only interested in click bait. The boys did us proud tonight

    Ride Em Cowboy

    Yeah i think soni does that better tbh.. Like ive been saying to luke bowden and others all year he just needs a chance.. Soni is quicker, better delivery, better kicking. Sommo has the age on his side but hes not getting quicker now. If soni was out ther tonight i think we win by another 12...

    Ride Em Cowboy

    Hahah.. you have no idea.. literally no idea and this shows it... The fact you want to refer to "stats" on this matter shows it. I can tell you right now 99% of stats you read in the articles you do have nothing to do with the real issues or the real factual stats. Youre a sad man mate with...

    Ride Em Cowboy

    I don't disagree. I kinda think he lacks the speed to be a real star 9. Its very common for young 9s to come in and do well as teams dont expect them to run etc... The difference between the top class 9s say api and cook is they have real speed in that first 10 or 20.. I think sommerton...

    Been an emergency service worker for 7 years. Can hand on heart say never once seen a cop "flog" somone or ever even heard of it... Have seen them go to countless suicides, countless death notifications, countless times being assaulted themselves including (stabbed, broken bones, spat at...

    Ride Em Cowboy

    Needs to work on his defence and distribution. Has a bit of wayde egan about him. I personally think soni has a way higher ceiling.. his slight of hand at the line, speed and short kicking game are way above what sommerton has atm... But sommerton has age on his side and clearly he is...
