Rd10: 750pm Parra v Dolphins GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank 8/5/25

It’s not like Iongi dropped a sitter. The dolphins player miskicked it which means the ball didn’t carry like it normally would which messed up Iongj’s timing.

Yes. With experience he will learn how to handle that with ease. He either got a bit excited or shat himself.

A few years back we had much of our backline out. No wingers and centres. Even had to play Marate Niukore in the centres.

We even had Niukore unavailable in early 2022. We had to play Drown and Perham in the outside backs. Unavailable:

Blake
Dunster
Niukore
Opacic
Russell
Sivo

The site that is covered in temu ads needs us to use the harvard method of referencing for each post lol

Samrani was good played centre second row and wing tonight..

Hit a nice hole off Moses as well kids got something.

Can we persist with him as a centre? Hook Penis.

Hook penis sounds nasty.

A few merkins who helped get us into the grand final that year. Not a great set of outside backs but they were the best we could afford with so much tied up in the forwards and spine.

I reckon the kid is a good player. But you hav to take those. He’s dropped one or two others. Let’s hope they are putting the extra hours in him. Hayne was the most natural under the high ball. Never seen a player that was so comfortable.

He has been very, very good.
Lot's of learning and improvement to come, which will only make him better.

The word superstar is handed out to every junior. It’s so stupid. Everyone cannot be a superstar. But it’s the morons in the commentary like John’s and Voss that apply the word superstar to everyone. Freaking amateurs. Ionghi will be a good player hopefully but a superstar? FMD let’s give him a few years the judge.

same as the Sualli, they all said superstar he was just f**king average.

John’s and Voss

I'm not sure about Superstar, I just hope he takes his bombs for now, he will improve with more experience, just like Gutho did.

 

[T.S Quint]

If Matthew Johns said that then expect Iongi to be on the scrap heap within two years.

How many 21 year olds are "just f**king average"? How many average players get picked in Origin? He was obviously inexperienced, like anyone still eligible for Jersey Flegg, but Suaalii is an amazing talent. If he ever comes back to the NRL he will dominate. He's not even 22 yet ffs
