Of Course! Bring back Luke Walsh and Bryce I say!

Too much strike in one team.

Not what I asked BUT you are still admitting you need at least one half and a good fullback. Most people will tell you hunt had a ridiculously good 2015 up until the golden point in the GF.

Also Cronk was successful with a busted shoulder through his higher than average intelligence of the game and how to organise a team.

My answer was not with those 2 because you need a kicking game to go with it. As long as a 7 can land the kicks where they need to go. You make the finals

Those sides that go really well have a really good 6 or 1. In Storm's case a great 9.

Not in all cases. Look at Parra run in 2009 and Bulldogs in 2012. On the back of Hayne and Barba going nuts. When do you recall a side going on a run on the back of a 7?

Walsh is a perfect example. Only could kick would lay it on a dime and we ran 2nd despite having an ordinary team and coach.

Sounds like you're making a good case for needing one or two dominant spine positions with the other/s being just talented enough for support.

The sides with great 7s dont need to "go on a run" because they're dynasties. Cronk with Melbourne and then the Roosters. Manly with DCE back in the day.

Imagine the "defense"!! Would be pretty special.

with Jarrod Sammut as back-up.

Guaranteed dynasty right there.

That is when sides are at their best it is too easy to shut down a 7. Just rush them all night most of the time you what is coming and if they have no time to pass it to those with the x factor.

Look at JT. The best player I have seen yet only one premiership as a starter. Origin and test records prove he isn't choker but needed talent in those crucial positions to do his thing

Only take a game for Jarrod to justify his existance!

He played finals once in his career.

Our kick chase was what made us good that season. Our whole backline was good at chasing kicks but we also had Lewis, Cooper and Smith in the forwards who moved quick and chased kicks well.

His kicks were fine... But it's the kick chase that decides how good they were. Obviously a player can kick so badly the kick chase is irrelevant and cant do shit to make it work. But even a perfect kick is only good if the kick chase is. Exception being for 40/20s where kick chase becomes irrelevant.

Although his biggest issue was he hated contact. Would never run the ball and didn't want to tackle.

Played the game in a dinner suit. Something you can't accuse Nathan of. He's always very willing to take on the defence and a hit.

Hard to believe it is over 10 years since Jarrod Sammut played for us. Where does time go.

I have always thought Sammut could have played in the NRL for longer but was largely misused by our then coach Matt Elliot.

Just saw the announcement of the teams for game 3 and Luai named in the 19. No Luke Keary so I assume he must be carrying an injury. It will be interesting if Cody or Nathan go down with an injury prior to SOO 3 we could see Luai making a debut. What odds would you have got for such an outcome prior to the start of 2020.

I go thru stages. Not sure that is a good thing. Took the wife to the movies today saw ‘Rams’ it was average but lunch afterwards was nice and had a couple of drinks. Few more drinks sitting on my back verandah and you guys have to cop my views and opinions. My apologies.

Sounds lovely Now why I wasn't (and others) invited ?

Alice pre Covid I would take my wife to the movies once a week, I would enjoy a liquid lunch given she only ever has one sav Blanc and she was designated driver. Prior to today was probably the first time we have been to the movies since February. Today was a spur of the moment thing. You are now paying for it given I had and am still enjoying a few drinks.

Yes, if he was a real fan he would have emulated Royce and offered to buy us all a drink! Severely disappointed!

I totally agree. Included would be a round trip in an uber too (from the Hunter) LOL

Sadly my Uber days are over, my car is now 10 years old and no longer considered worthy by Uber.
