Around the Grounds

Well there's only two sides with less wins, and one of them beat the panthers then put 70 on the cowboys in the last fortnight.

Who put 70 on the Cowboys?

Tigers scored 66

The younger Brailey apparently has gone into the NSW camp. Very happy for him. I am a huge fan of our Brailey and I seriously hope he is over his injuries because he is a champ.

The Sharks kept the right Brailey. He's far more creative and IMO is still yet to really stamp his authority - but he's certainly capable.

They chose the right one because ours is the injury prone one. I still think our Brailey is a gun player. A little less creative but is a defensive gun and can carry our forward pack forward for 80 minutes.

 

[Old dog]

Is he the “injury prone” one, was he out for long periods whilst at Cronulla and if so why did we spend biggish money on him

69 games in 3 seasons for the Sharks
40 games in 4 seasons for us.

I think we’re 10% better off with Brailey. His career win % with us is at 44%. Now I haven’t checked it but I’m guessing we’re around mid-30s without him.

Wonder what the record is with both Brailey and Ponga both playing. Probably like 2 games only it's happened though haha...

I think whilst he does add value the fall off is caused by us not having anyone resembling a decent back up besides Andrew McCullough for the short stretch a few years back.

Happy BYE round again. My favourite rounds.

Happy BYE round again. My favourite rounds.

I still feel like the Knights could f**k it up somehow.

 

[Nuke]

Knights 1-12 over the bye.
On current form, with the bye giving up the 2 competition points every week so far in 2023, Knights should blitz this one 13+, but I think it'll be closer than it should be.

Feels a lot nicer after a win.

Frizz one of NSW's most dangerous so far.

Frizz one of NSW's most dangerous so far.

He did well.
Kick chase, good runs...
Certainly should be picked again.

 

[Jono078]

f**k I hate losing origin games.

We didn't look good.

I think Teddy's used by date has come and gone unfortunately. He's not the same player he used to be.

 

[Apey]

Watching NSW is like watching the Knights tbh.

Frizz one of NSW's most dangerous so far.

Our team is like the anti-Penrith. Our players always seem fantastic at origin level and awful at club level (although tbf Frizz has been outstanding this year and truely earned his selection).

We’d all obviously prefer the reverse.

Happy Walsh played so well (although tbh we didn’t really pressure him) to eliminate any risk of Slater stupidly throwing Ponga back in with his head knocks.
