    Who will kick goals?

    Assuming we manage to actually score any tries or are awarded any penalties, who is likely to be our goalkicker? In Sandow's absence, Joseph Paulo was kicking a bit. Do you think that's likely to continue? A lot of people don't list Paulo in their starting 13, so that doesn't seem ideal.

    Centres and wingers

    I often see posts about players being wasted as wingers, or if a player reportedly earns a biggish salary that they should be a centre instead of a winger. Does anyone else think good wingers are being undervalued by fans, media and even the players/coaches themselves? Stories about Kevin...

    Luke off the field

    Minutes in the second half that the Rabbitohs had the ball and Isaac Luke was on the field - less than two. I don't get that. Peats is developing well, but unless Luke was injured in some way, that doesn't make a lick of sense in a game where the Bunnies clearly were struggling to break...

    2011 is not a rebuilding year

    It isn't. In a rebuilding year, you're building to something. You're working on combinations. You're developing players. Most importantly, you have something to show for it at the end, even if that's only improvement that can be built upon. In reality, this season is an experimental season...

    First kick from NSW

    The first kick from NSW, which came on the third tackle after a fairly unimpressive start to the six to bring the ball out of their own half, saw Queensland start their first set on their 40m and set up the domination that followed. It was an invitation and Queensland accepted it. Such a...

    Lightning McQueen

    I thought McQueen deserved his own thread. I thought he was one of a very small number of players yesterday that could really hold his head high. Hindmarsh is my favourite player (and it's a shame was his teammates put him through), and watching McQueen pull down Graham immediately made me...

    Asotasi

    I'm a huge Roy fan, but he is well below his best in 2010. I think a lot of that might have to do with him carrying injury. What I wanted to post, though, is that a year ago if Roy was taken from the field the Bunnies immediately looked fragile in defence and ineffective in gaining the hard...

    Storm players for sale

    It is clear that the Eels are going to have some money and are in desperate need of some players to replace some of our outgoings after this season. A lot of clubs are eyeing the Melbourne Storm's playing stocks and their focus, like ours, is fixated on the biggest stars in their line up...

    Hookers

    I think losing Kingston is really hurting us. IF (big if) we were to try to recruit another dummy-half, who might fit the bill who would actually bring something valuable to the side (for decent value)? I was thinking about Heath L'Estrange, who left Manly to go to Bradford Bulls. How much...

    Goalkickers

    Hi, I'm trying to compile a rough list of likley first-string and second-string goalkickers for 2010 from each NYC team. Can posters help me out? Dragons - Henry/King Eels - Bulldogs - Hijazi/Minto/Taripo (unknown which is first, second or third string) Sea Eagles - Warriors - Johnson...

    Idea for a horror movie ...

    We make the grand final (and, no, I'm not taking a win over the Doggies for granted ... it's just part of a hypothetical) and end up facing the Storm. Brett Finch plays the best game of his life, single-handedly wins the game and is awarded the Clive Churchhill Medal. Imagine the...

    Name your team of Good Guys

    Taking a moment away from the NRL's annus horribilis, I thought it'd be interesting to name a team of Good Guys. These guys have long-running, good, positive public images who also kill it on the footy field - the true heroes of the NRL. 1. Matthew Bowen 2. Nathan Merritt 3. Willie Tonga 4...

    Simpson on the wing

    I think he's gone well in recent weeks. Now that JT has finally abandoned the insane hooker experiment, I think he might have earned a regular spot on the wing. When Merritt moves back to the wing, I think Talanoa should have a spell. Fetuli and Champion have been the weak links in the...

    Beards

    What's the story?

    Damn it, JLo!

    I said to my wife at the time that that penalty would probably cost the Bunnies the game. Dumb, dumb, dumb penalty. I wish he'd get those out of his game. :crazy:

    Another Expert Opinion from Michael Hagan

    http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/sport/nrl/story/0,26799,25190790-5016307,00.html While I think most of his comments are on the mark or not far wrong, I find his grading system boggling. What the heck kind of system is he using? Perhaps it sheds some light on what I feel he was doing...

    Missed Tackles

    Seems like they missed more than they made in Newcastle. Crazy.

    The Run Home

    Looking at things a little less passionately (we're all filthy with how things are going and at the end of the day the Eels probably don't deserve to make the finals anyway), it's worth noting that our run home is not too shabby. Manly Sea Eagles (A) North Queensland Cowboys (H) Newcastle...

    The Core

    How many members of "The Core" are currently in first grade? Is Roy the only surviving member at this point? While I totally support the coaching staff in the selection decisions they made, it's sad that so many of the Clubs player "leaders" have fallen so far out of form that they can't get...
