Rabbitohs rumours, signings, injuries etc

I disagree, for the first game of the season I thought Nichols was great. I watched the replay and the miss, well these things happen, let me just point out Cameron Murry also failed in that tackle, admittedly from the other side of the ruck.

I watched the Sunday game played in the mud and Amone did take the ball up strongly but he consistently failed to break the defensive line, I don't recall him making a break just being held up over the line. Sure, he played hard and made know mistakes but it wasn't first grade defense like the defense dished out by Whywerra-Hardgreaves (?)
I think maybe Amone will be a lot better when Bennett decides the time is right.

Tom Amone: One try-assist, one line-break assist, four tackle-breaks, 182 total metres, 93 post-contact metres, 27 tackles.

4 tackle busts for 93 post-contact metres. Pretty good stats.

Tom Amone and Dean Britt make Canterbury Cup team of the week!!

Amone: One try-assist, one line-break assist, four tackle-breaks, 182 total metres, 93 post-contact metres, 27 tackles.

I only seen the first 30 mins of the game but Amones runs looked real strong that that soggy Field. I’m sure it won’t be that long before WB gives him a chance if he keeps that form up.

It was Nicholls' tackle, that Murray couldn't cover his mistake doesn't make Murray just as bad mate.

He had several lazy moments like that and spent a lot of his time on the field looking blown up and out on his feet.

Again, I think it's more due to a lack of match fitness, but if I was picking the team, I'd be putting him down to reserve grade to get some serious minutes in his legs before giving him another chance.

Agree. I don’t think he should be thrown straight into first grade, but it is good that it looks like he’s now in our 30, and he’s there if required. WB is a great judge of young talent, he’ll know when he’s ready.

Amone looks fitter than Nichols in my opinion

Those sorts of stats mean he was on the field.

'Nicholls fully focused for Dragons' see, he'll be better Thursday night.

Hey I’ve got nothing against Nicholls. Never mentioned him once in any of my posts.

All I’ve done is express my joy that Amone is now in the 30, and if you read my previous post I even suggest he NOT be throw into first grade, and that WB would know when he’s ready

And BTW they are not just on the field stats. A lot of forwards don’t even do 98m let alone 98 post contact.

Chill out dude, I will express my opinion whenever and however I like. If I've ruffled your feathers your in for a long season, Blossom.

Statistics, statistics dam statistics, by whom would you prefer to be tackled, Wheywerea - Hardgreaves or some guy in reserve grade.

Anyway, Nicholls may have to make room for Burgess' s return which is when? Anybody common common...…...answers answers

97 post contact metres
What does those statistics mean he was on the field ,never heard anything as silly before
Did you actually watch the nsw cup game
And I don’t think you ruffled anybody’s feathers just wondering what that statement actually means ( if anything )

Yep, I watched the game, why don't you tell us all what you think is the main differences between Friday nights game and nsw cup game or is it called the Canterbury cup game?

I'd be interested in your view.

How about you just explain the statement you made that those statistics just mean he was on the field instead of returning a question with a question

Sorry, didn't answer the main thrust of your response 'What does those statistics mean he was on the field ,never heard anything as silly '.

I meant as he spent, was it fifty minutes on the field, he was bound to do something e.g run some metres, tackle some opposition players, carry some tacklers as he continued to run.
Can I ask How many players on that puddle of a football field managed to progress a good number of metres, carrying defenders who where having a very difficult time hanging on to them.
Did he score a try, Turner did, who many metres and tackles did Turner make? Maybe Kyle Turner should replace Nichols, he did after all score. And Turners' very experienced in first grade.

 

[assess5]

I've read a lot of more silly things on here mate, stick around.

Is it called the Canterbury cup or was that only that game?

Was Amone off the field in the second half or did he just go quiet?

Fair enough mate,yes I agree Turner played very well and I’m happy he is on the bench for NRL this weekend
Not sure if Amone went quiet or was off during the second half,but he sure made himself noticed in the first

 

[RunRabbitRun69]

Before George gets back in Round 4 seems like the perfect time to blood Amone in first grade and let him see what the standard is.

When George is back, it'll be a Tom/George/Tatola/Knight rotation, so it's not like we're putting him through the acid test.

Like I previously said, Nicholls needs more game time to get his match fitness up, so it seems like dropping Nicholls for Amone would be best for both parties.

That being said, I don't have Wayne's knowledge or experience, so I have faith in him to make the right call.

Just seems strange to me.

Off for 20m

Off for 20m

Thought he went off.
My big, pleasant surprise was the improvement in Tatola, much more forceful in running the ball up.

NRL set to force clubs to relocate or risk folding under new clause in licensing agreement: https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nr...e/news-story/5496817855eab310fa6973d8c8941adb

Absolutely huge news for the game!! What does everyone think about this? I'd much rather expand through relocation than adding teams, as long as it's not us doing the moving.
