Ultimately, every NRL team has some players of questionable character. I’m simply making the point that De Belin’s character is much more open to question than a lot of them.

It really doesn’t matter to what he does on the field. But he’s a shit bloke. I would prefer if we didn’t have a guy like him on our team. I’m not sure why that’s such a controversial position.
Okay, thanks very much for your input in this respect...but G.F.Y...please.
Move on. Now.

I hope our young players can start to be as well-spoken as this young Katoa fella. The days of these lads talking like they stopped schooling in about grade 3 (like Cooper Cronk) seem to be over.

Maybe he has. Doesn’t change the fact that he did something that’s morally repugnant.
I can accept and understand the reason we signed him! Playing wise it's not a debate!

But I agree, and I won't be cheering him! Hope he does good, but won't ever comment on him. Can't support him! Same reason I won't ever comment on Hayne!

When you're behind on the scoreboard and mounting a comeback, you don't want Lomax on your team, as evidenced by his display for NSW and Parramatta in recent weeks.
He’s exactly who you want actually, he was responsible directly for 2-3 tries we scored to back in the game. Run along.

Let's all settle gents.
What JDB was putrid but its all in the past. We will be cheering him on next yr.
I have no issue ppl disliking him for what he did. It's happened.
No need to keep going on about this.
Will he make our team better next yr? Probably?
Would I have signed him? Probably not.
Hopefully his work ethic is what rubs off on the younger players. I repeat work ethic

Does the Fox's boot touch the paint?

It does make sense because two things can be correct at the same time; Lomax is a good player who chokes in the clutch.


Storm Boy 1
Lomax 0

Well you said you don't want Lomax on your team.When chasing points when tonight he was the reason we got back into the game..

Which isn't what you said in your latest post.

Lomax 603
Storm Boi 3

What the f**ks a Storm Boi?

It’s not a dictionary but that is so yesterday. AI is the future. I reckon we are pretty much on the same page….


AI Overview

Calling someone a "prick" …..is a derogatory term used to insult someone's character, implying they are unpleasant, stupid, or irritating.
I'm not even going to bother with someone who relies on AI for the simple meaning of words, especially when I know full well AI can't help put spit out a small thesis on something as simple as this. If cutting a huge chunk of it's dribble out makes you feel better though more power to you.

I've never liked his hair. It has a surfer vibe to it and I can't stand surfer culture of any sort. If he shaves his hair off then I am fine with him starting up ASAP.
Wait, did he have a man bun some time ago? Thats even worse.

This. I wouldn’t have signed him, am not a fan, I’ll struggle to cheer for him, but in this day and age, taking a black and white position on everything is potentially why the world feels like it is falling apart at the moment

I do think we might’ve gone too far in stripping the size of our pack in such a short time in favour of a smaller, more mobile group. Paulo isn’t enough on his own to give that real heavy punch through the middle. I know Ryles has spoken about being quicker and more mobile in the pack as being one of his areas of focus, but I think he’s overdone it a bit so far. One more big bopper would be handy at this point.
Sam T is the missing big body. The kid is a star in the making. Ryles even mentioned him on Friday when asked about signing a big name player.

Unfortunately he is another injury and we need to be patient with his development. But the kid can play and a big out

don't forget Moretti is out too
