I reckon Lucas to centre.
This is pretty annoying to me because it reflects the current player welfare issue that the NRL is just choosing to ignore. Game is faster and more physical than ever but we expect players to play 24 games and some within 48 hours of each other? It's madness, of course players are going to break down.
There needs to be a real conversation around players workloads and the effect State of Origin has on what is supposed to be the 'main' competition.
Exactly my thinking also.20 teams, 19 rounds, rep breaks for stand alone origin / NRLW origin / Junior origin / Pacific tests.
Add in a 7s comp and a proper rep calendar and we have plenty of footy.
Gamble broken hand apparently.
Sadly for us he's only got on the field 12 times this year. Hasn't helped us.FMD. You make your own luck but f**k me we’re cursed losing our best half 4 minutes before extra time in a must win game.
But we had gods gift Cogger come on to replace him.FMD. You make your own luck but f**k me we’re cursed losing our best half 4 minutes before extra time in a must win game.
Yep, but it is where we are at. Not easy to see the way out of it. We need some careful manouvring with our roster in the next 12 months because there's plenty to like in there, and i'm encouraged by the talent filtering through our systems... but the wage thieves have to go and be replaced by honest contributors, and we need a halfback.I love Gamblor more than most but when he is your best halves option, and his injuries are a big negative impact to the side, you are absolutely struggling talent-wise.
