[Dutchy]

He's a brilliant centre. The way he plays fullbacks works well at Manly though, Matai and Lyon run great inside lines.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I've worked out what Thirdman's role in the side is. He's the official arse tapper. If you drop the ball, Sam will be there to slap you on the bum to encourage you. If you put a man into touch Sam is there to slap you on the bum and say well done. Tackles or hit ups are someone else's job.

 

[umina panther]

Hiku is the least dynamic fullback I have ever seen. Solid player of course but jeez he's just got no spark at fullback.

And Hoffman is the same. DWZ is the long term fullback or RTS

I like you now.

arron woods has been spending a lot of time at maccas lately by the looks.
played well tho.

 

[Paullyboy]

This game is a perfect example of why we should have just ended the season on a high with the grand final. Does anyone seriously care? The players hardly do, the crowd don't seem involved at all and it's just a flat spectacle.

He'll need a job there in a couple of years so he might as well get in with good the managers.

 

[isaiah]

its an easy equation, if hoffman is replaced at HT, we win!
was he negative metres in hit ups?

You care enough to post about it.

England and Samoa went hard, crowd was great.

Either these guys are poorly coached which is a high probability with Sheens & Kearney involved or they just aren't giving 100%.

I'd like to see a Premiers v NRL XIII game at the end of the season.
grand final winning team vs a team of the best of the rest from the NRL

I would have played Johnson at fullback and selected Marshall and Foran in the halves. Not because Johnson isn't the best half, but he'd be the best fullback as well by far. He'd be an incredible fullback.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I think Johns is in love with Shaun Johnson.

Lol he looks the same as he always does.

 

[MacDougall]

He might be in love with Johnson but he wants to be f**ked by Papalli.

Some11 has hit the nail on the head. This is the result of Sheens v Kearney.


Just when NZ look they're about to rip Australia apart they fall apart themselves.

Or most of them are rusty seeing as they haven't played in a while.

Hey there unwashed masses!

Put a bet on! Make the rich richer and spend your hard earned centrelink!

Yeah, nah.

This game hasn't set the world on fire but it's the first of the series for both sides. As a league fan I'm happy to watch a test match in October on a Saturday night. Those that don't like it f**k your whinging arses off.

he will have to fight macdougal for him.
