Heh yeah well i think if you had to put together a field of the best 8 from league you'd have to include guys like Kevin Gordon (Titans) Uate (Knights) Jennings (Panthers)... Slater perhaps...
Actually, they should run this again before or during halftime of the All Stars game in Feb.
Hayne looked to have a good technique, very flat/level through the head and shoulders. If he does go and train with Bolt it can only be a good thing imo.
Thought Hayne was in front and had it with about 30m to go but just couldn't hold his top end pace. His 20m-70m was pretty strong though.
Ben Barba is quicker than i thought, expected more from Morris and GI though.
Hayne is clever, he's realised he needs to stop bailing the team out of trouble with larger than life performances... why? because if the Hayne Plane keeps blowing teams off the park, this club will NEVER buy a halfback.
Lousy theory i know :P
Im not going to say Mateo is too flashy and its to do with being polynesian... he just has lousy self control. Dave Taylor has as much skill for a big man but enough sense to know when to just cling onto the pill and hit the ground.
Anyway, i've ragged on him enough, and he's only got one game...
I agree on all points. Refs, particularly the video ref tonight was deplorable.
But souths made the most of the opportunities they had and were the better team... without ever looking like playing good consistant footy :) But hey, you only need a halfback with 2 years first grade experience...

I've already mouthed off about mateo in another thread a moment ago but i'll have another dig for good measure.
This bloke has been at our club for how long? 5 years or something? And they still haven't been able to coach the stupid sh*t out of him OR coach every other player to be up to his...
Just had the unfortunate pleasure to not only just finish seeing the boys lose but also 2 hours behind the event, up here in Brisbane. Awful, heartless, boring, fizzer... it was our entire season summed up in 80 mins.
If thats how they thought they needed to play to A) Win and B) Win big, to...
Moimoi, Poore, Mannah, Webb, Hindy, Shackleton, Smith, Maitua... Well i mean there is certainly some potential there... 6 of those guys have seen state or national rep footy. Up to DA and the behind the scenes crew to unleash the potential.
At the risk of being pelted with rocks... has anyone else wondered how the Great Hayne Plane himself would go if thrust back into the no.6?
I KNOW, I KNOW... its blasphemy. But they want a relatively experienced, creative half to play alongside Mortimer... and i sometimes scratch my head and...
Mighty inconsistent journalism going around... 500k... 850k... thats no small difference.
Agreed, nobody is worth 850, where does a figure like that even come from?
As for 500k... f**k it, why not. Lets give a young and clearly talented playmaker a go... because the alternative is....?
Tears about Mateo leaving... no.
Tears about Kris Keating leaving... YES! Sheesh that kid is sharp, elusive and bonkers with enthusiasm. Makes his brother look like a bumbling old man. KK should have been the priority resigning, none of this Mateo nonsense.
I hate this... even though we're practically no chance of getting this bloke, with Union's deep pockets and world cup fame stacking the odds against us... There is still that slim chance, a sliver of hope. AND IT CRUSHES ME! Because every time i read about this guy and Haynesy being buddies or...
I don't mind Hindy on the bench, he plays a different game in attack these days. Sure he doesn't hit the line with any venom whatsoever but he's got a pretty nifty offload these days and a good pass before the line. Plus he might sure up the defense at the back end of the first half when NSW...
Seeing as we're discussing positives here i'll continue on.
Just watched the post match interview on fox website and I can't help but be impressed with the way DA conducts himself on camera. Maybe in the sheds he's blowing up deluxe, but for the media and the fans he's just the picture of...
