    Because schools are so good at looking past sporting ability and worry so much about the character of teens playing a game too.....

    Rumours and Stuff

    According to training reports Dunster seems to be running freely and capably. The trial games also suggests he is running pretty well.

    Rumours and Stuff

    I don't understand the fascination with Cartwright at centre. Simonsson, if fit or Dunster would be the two easiest choices. And Dunster has found some speed again and certainly rucks the ball out as well as Russell and a lot better than Sivo.

    Hindy's 2024 Trials Super Thread

    So, you haven't watched either trial then?

    Not so Smug - Why can't the panfers beat the pommies?

    Good teams find a way to overcome bad decisions and shouldn't use that to justify playing badly - or so the story goes.

    Why would you not allow clubs to develop players? Unless the clubs put the money in the NRL certainly won't.

    Hindy's 2024 Trials Super Thread

    As long as he earns his return through reserve grade then I don't mind. He shouldn't come straight back in if Dunster or Simonsson (I would prefer Dunster) play really well.

    Rumours and Stuff

    I would hope this means that Dunster gets a run in his place and he has to earn his return through reserve grade. I would hope they don't accommodate Simonsson on the wing with Harper.

    Is this the same "Super League" they have tried to get off the ground over the past two or three seasons and nothing has come to fruition? Seems like a waste of $23 million for mine.

    Hindy's 2024 Trials Super Thread

    Ddid anyone watch the Manly/Broncos trial? My understanding was that clubs should have two sets of jerseys so that they didn't clas with the opposition - our Blue and Gold jerseys have never clashed with anyone so I understand the frustration with the white - but the jerseys in that game made it...

    Hindy's 2024 Trials Super Thread

    He may be more creative but he is a big part of the issues on the right hand side defence. Sivo plays his part however BS leaves him stranded too. I would rather have a centre who stays in his lane defensively more often than not opposed to someone who may be more creative but lets in tries as...

    Hindy's 2024 Trials Super Thread

    I think you missed the first forty minutes because that was where the game was controlled and managed. The second half was scrappy but where a lot more changes were made around resting players. I actually thought that our right edge defence looked a lot more composed when Harper came on as...

    Do you want Brad Arthur as coach

    To be fair, I would argue they already are. They just didn't play together enough last season for obvious reasons.

    Non-eels footy stuff

    This is quite hilarious really. Whatever they paid for him is too much. Yet to play a full season anywhere since 2021 and he stood out in a Wests Tigers side that finished 13th overall. Its hardly a "coup".....

    Bennett to the Eels - ?

    Because he has total control at the moment???

    Bennett to the Eels - ?

    I wouldn't be so sure of that. It would be an interesting move. It would also allow him to not have to front the media and give him the time to spend back in Brisbane. I wouldn't be upset about it but I also don't think its likely to happen.

    Everyone is a chance. If hindy111 gets down to training and puts in for a few minutes even he might get a run

    No. The players aren't going to be told until 1 hour before kick off so they really have to continue to put in during training.

    The Morgan Harper appreciation thread

    Possibly against some of the weaker sides but they will be found out eventually. It's why most clubs other than the Sharks rely on a big body with slow lateral movement in the centres. Talakai sure did a huge number on Harper for one game but more often than not is a liability defensively.

    The Morgan Harper appreciation thread

    Defensively Cartwright or Tuilagi are going to be shown up in the centre position by faster players. Could happen for a game or two but you don't necessarily want to go through a whole season with either of them as your full time centre. Cartwright has improved his defence but not to the point...
