    Rumoured Targets 3

    For years we were just hoping to win a genetic lottery and hope the best juniors would come from our catchment area and many folks seemed to be happy with this approach. I know everyone likes to bash the roosters but they essentially have next to no local catchment area so have been proactive in...

    Around the Grounds

    Watson just gives them a lot of insurance in case of injury and he can also play big minutes in the middle and hooker, I like Reece Robson but I don’t think him playing 80 minutes at hooker is the best scenario for the team so Watson being able to come on and just run at tired forwards is a...

    Around the Grounds

    I’d imagine Best will slot straight in for Trell on the left and Gags will be right centre with Hammer on the left

    NRLW

    Our girls are up against the raiders in NRLW trials, currently up 16-0 at half time (4 tries, declined the conversions). Look way too big, strong, fast and clinical for the poor raiders girls

    Rumoured Targets 3

    He’s definitely more of a confidence player than someone who’s got supreme natural ability, his confidence is definitely shot at present but that aside I just don’t think he’s got that extra gear that the elite playmakers do

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Watched a few sharks games lately and Hynes just isn’t it. Hynes probably touches the ball more than any other half in the comp but it’s more quantity than quality for me and his kicking game is average at best. I think his greatest attribute is that he doesn’t shirk his responsibility and will...

    2024 R18 Fri - Brisbane 6-14 Penrith @ Suncorp

    So he’s fast, passes well, kicks well and has pretty eyes, did I miss anything? This is LU people are going to have opinions, some may seem silly but just let it be man, you’re obvious a big fan but surely you can understand why others wouldn’t be? You think he’s the greatest thing since...

    2024 R18 Fri - Brisbane 6-14 Penrith @ Suncorp

    With all due respect have you considered maybe perhaps the reason some fans loathe Walsh because he carries himself as opposed to people being envious of his success? As mentioned above he’s always running into push and shove like some wannabe tough guy, whinging to the ref, laring up every...

    2024 R18 Fri - Brisbane 6-14 Penrith @ Suncorp

    He’s the NRL’s new golden child, I’m surprised the panthers player didn’t get sin binned for daring the breath near Walsh

    2024 R18 Fri - Brisbane 6-14 Penrith @ Suncorp

    The no punching rule has really injected some fake courage into guys like Walsh and Reed Mahoney because they know they’re untouchable. The most laughable thing in origin was Walsh squaring up to Spencer Leniu like he actually wanted that smoke when everyone knows he’d be merely an entree for Leniu

    2024 R18 Fri - Cronulla 16-20 Gold Coast @ C.ex Coffs

    Hynes tries hard but you can just tell he hasn’t got that finesse and touch in his game

    Rumoured Targets 3

    In an ideal world you can hope to get lucky with someone like Sam McIntyre on the cheap for a year and he outplays his contract value but that bargain value typically only lasts a year before you have to upgrade them from say $250k a year to the Adam Elliott price range. You can find cheap...

    Knights Lower Grade Stuff

    So the Telegraph named their top 50 high school prospects in the country and Cody Hopwood was ranked number 2. Other top 50 were Zac Herdegen who’s a halfback from Qld we pinched from the broncos who’s ranked 34 and Jack Hillier a prop in Flegg ranked 37.

    Rumoured Targets 3

    I’m curious what kind of elite replacement do you think we’d get at $460k? You’ve lumped Elliot into a group where 2 of those players are getting paid elite money for their position and are playing like fringe first graders and the other bloke is getting paid borderline rep money and is barely...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    I think that’s a bit of a weird measuring stick, if you want to make the argument that we need a better starting middle to contend with the top teams I could probably go with that argument but as mentioned he’s on about $460k a year (contracts typically aren’t divided totally equally in terms of...

    Yeh Hopwood looks a good prospect, I think he can be a really good prop if they decide to go that way as he’ll easily fill out to 110-115kg but I’d like to see them develop him into a Patrick Carrigan style lock forward

    Why was dave Klemmer such a big thing?

    I watched Klemmer in juniors/schoolboys and believe me he was an absolute weapon, he was pretty much 6’6 and 110kg when he was 15-16 and unlike most big kids that age actually had a decent engine and loved the rough stuff. The 6 again rule and just the increased emphasis on finding your front...

    Is brandy on drugs? Since when can you ground it short and roll it forward?
