This is the problem with the game today, too many athletes not enough footballers.

When you get a combination of both like Sonny Bill, they're almost unstoppable.
Agree completely. Scouts find someone who is either strong or fast or even both and they think they see the next SBW/GI/Slater. But having some natural footballing IQ is so much more important than just the physical attributes. But that footballing instinct is a lot harder to spot so they just sign a group of athletes each year and then are surprised when theres more Hurrells and Idris' and Toutais than SBWs and GIs.

They're in again. Just too much firepower for the Eels.

I feel every decent top 8 destined team will do this to the Eels this year.

I think the contact made there was worse than the contact made on Bird yesterday and the Pennies got their's pulled up.

First time you've made sense in all the thousands of posts I've read of yours. Agreed.

I'd need to watch the replay to confirm but I thought Williams was trying to halt his run and the parra defender then instigated with a tackle.

Was probably worth a look though
