I find Bracey boring. He’s too scared to say anything that could be construed as controversial. At least Thompson is willing to say things the everyday person is thinking. His opinions can’t be any dumber than some of the other clowns they have on TV.
Thompson is getting better, but I still preferred it when Bracey hosted Freddy and the Eight and Six Tackles with Gus. A more natural host and the interractions with the experts were far less awkward and cringey.

Prob why they rather sorrenson over hopgood. They'd have philosophy's around defence that would be unflexable no matter how good you are with ball in hand.
They obviously prioritise recruitment/retention of speed and work rate over everything else in the middle.

sorrenson played middle for panthers last year but yes he can do both.
Yep, all edge forwards can play in the middle. In the case of Penrith forwards, the same physical qualities (speed/mobility) that make them suitable on the edge also make them suitable as middle defenders in Penrith's system.

What's BA doing going on 2GB continuous call team for an interview.

Did Ray hadley approve of this interview.

And if he didn't should we expect another serve off Ray tomorrow.

Is BA trolling Hadley by going on his station and doing another interview on another show.

Probably because of yeo and probably he has a high mistake rate.

Though can't fault his effort
Undoubtedly Hopgood’s “high mistake rate” is characteristic of him being a rookie. Yeo was shithouse early in his career.
The way he’s seamlessly worked into our team kind of hides the fact that hes really played f**k all 1st grade. Rookies make errors while they acclimatise to the difference in pace/ability compared to reserve grade, but this past month I think it’s pretty clear he’ll play Origin at some point.

Yep has worked his way into the season.

With more experience he is probably also learning how to control his intensity for longer periods of the match.

Yeah match fitness is also a factor. He reportedly did well in preseason fitness, but there’s a difference between running laps for 3 hours and playing 1st grade for 80 minutes.

Waqa was dropped for a reason (or many reasons). Despite some people here trying to talk up that he only remains down the pecking order due to injury reasons. I think we'd even agree to an early release - if anyone was interested in him for next season.
