Did anyone else notice him just sitting there on the bench after the try to Mills whilst the rest of the bench were going mad as we still had a sniff?

Sure he got hooked and might have been upset but its a team sport and as a fan him being there with no emotion doesn't look good. Not to mention his jersey grabbing all game.

Im not sure what the deal is with Boogs right now but it might be worth while to give him an immediate release

Immediate release because he didn't celebrate! If he's playing crap drop him.

Did u even watch the game?

He is stopping someone like peach having a crack at firsts.

He doesn't want to be here so let some other club have him

Is the ASADA thing affecting him more than others? Is he more implicated than others?

I dont kno but I'd cut him a little bit of slack atm, like all of our team.

He is a good player & I'd hate to lose him.

Good player who is not playing well. Seems to fit the bill for plenty in our squad at the moment.

I did but didn't notice it. Doesn't mean you release him because he didn't celebrate. He's holding up peach so drop him to nsw cup. A release doesn't help the club unless that money is spent on a replacement.

Heard Peach will move on if he doesn't see firsts this year. Good news is that from a rock solid source heard he will see firsts during Origin. Hopefully he can make an impact. Seen him since a young age and every time he has stood up to a harder challenge. Certainly starred in the 20's and NSW Cup. Far more impact than CT, Gards, Wright or Stapo for example. I think he is being held back by the likes of Bakuya. Peach better than Frizzel by a country mile and he is doing ok for the scum. He is leading try scorer in NSW Cup so that cant be a bad thing. We recruit credentialled back rowers like Lewis and Toops and IMO they seem to stall. Might be playing with Gall. So Peach may benefit from not playing with Gall. I believe he is stronger than he looks. Like Greg Bird he busts tackles against bigger players. When he gets through he looks pretty fast. He now looks far better than CT or Mills which is a surprise as in the juniors he had fallen a bit behind. But what the hell, he is playing the house down in NSW Cup. If he left the Dragons would be the logical choice. That woud be intolerable. He even played briefly with Cameron King for the Black Cats. Give him a run. Plus Coates for Ross soon. I think Ross is being kept in until Bryce returns. We are not a club for throwing youngsters in are we? Storm and Broncs do regularly and it hasnt been a bad thing.

This x 100. During Origin i'd like to see;

1. Gordon
2. Raitini
3. Stapleton
4. Pomeroy (no other decent choice, maybe Feki or give Taga or Bukuya a run)
5. Ryan
6. Carney (if selected for Origin, then Penani?)
7. Robson
8. Fifta (or will he be in Origin?)
9. Morris
10. Ross
11. Heighington
12. Tupou
13. Graham (if he gets chosn for NSW which is unlikely, then idunno)
Bench
14. Peachey/Bukuya
15. Green/Taufua
16. Lichaa
17. Robinson (the bloke we bought from Manly who is carving up in reggies, is that his name?)

Provided Gibbs is still injured by then.. If not, chuck him in at 17.

Noticed, and was peeved to say the least. Was it because he wants to replace Mills and saw that ship sailing?

Perhaps because he's already gone for 2014.

Does anyone know why he hasn't been given a shot at centre?

If someone said we've got a young bloke here who plays edge backrow and centre. He's good laterally and can pass. Runs great lines. Explosive. Good defender. Who wouldn't say "give him a crack"?

Especially given our plethora of back rowers and dearth of centres. And that there seems to be little difference between the two in the way they play under Flano.

Anyone on the inner tube know the answer?

I'm not on the tube but can guess that Bakuya is too slow for centre or put it another way not quick enough. Beginning to regret not chasing Inu or especially Gagai now.

We have plenty of plodders who can play centre without Bakuya being added to the list.

I wanted Jennings myself

I didn't. Inu and Gagai were always on the cheap. Jennings and Dugan both on big bucks. Much bigger risk if for major dollars. Jennings probably on at least double of the other 2. Jury still out on Jennings. Played ok so far but nothing out of the box. I disagreed with Reefy on Inu but was wrong as he lifted the Dogs big time. Gagai going well for a cheapie. I don't like Jennings attitude that much. Neither did the Pennies.

I used to like SBW but no can't stand his attitude. But he is just a money grabber with a bad agent. Jennings seems to be a different story. Ordered to give free tickets to the fans etc. Premadonna. Enough problems at the club without spending big bucks on a known problem. Imagine the explosion on the forum if he played up again.
