Yep. Back in the year when defence was disallowed. Go us!We scored some points in 2001!

Who else was getting visions of Brad drew, Jamie Lyon, Vaileki etc yesterday??? What a great season....too bad it all evaporated once I realised I was watching lussick, harper and sivo....We scored some points in 2001!
Simonsson had a break out year in 2023. He is a first grader.Like Simonsson is the answer as well. Please..he's barely 1st grade.
I was all of nine when 2001 happened, so my memories of Brad Drew are that he existed, Jamie Lyon is a f**king rat and I liked Vaealiki because I thought his name was cool. Thankfully that also helps the 2001 Grand Final not sting as much as 2009 and 2022.Who else was getting visions of Brad drew, Jamie Lyon, Vaileki etc yesterday???

That requires experience and confidence. Not a skillset you get from backups. You bring the backup in and he might do more of the kicking if that's his skillset, otherwise more senior members of the spine step up. At Penrith that's Luai. At Parra it's Dylan Brown.
A real coach would also be very exciting!!Like Simonsson is the answer as well. Please..he's barely 1st grade.
We need to recruit a winger, centre, 2nd row and hooker for next yr.
These are our problem areas.
We also need start looking at the fullback situation and a genuine halfback back up...
I’d love to know what Anthony Bonus and Matt Spence are up too these days ffs!!What else have we got to promote ourselves? F**k all.
Improving players skill sets are not the coaches job mate.What are your thoughts on Dylan brown not having at least a mediocre long kicking game after 100 FG games and playing alongside one of the best long kickers in the game?
Anthony Bonus = most disappointingly inaccurate surname in the history of rugby league.I’d love to know what Anthony Bonus and Matt Spence are up too these days ffs!!
I wish he did. It must be hard to do, considering that there is only 3 or 4 players who can actually do it. Cleary, DCE, Moses and Burton ? Burton isn’t really good at it even though he has a huge boot.What are your thoughts on Dylan brown not having at least a mediocre long kicking game after 100 FG games and playing alongside one of the best long kickers in the game?
Mate, it sounds like at least 2 of us are one-eyed.Oh I can find more of the tigers flopping in if you want... At least we got pulled up for it once...
Also leg pulls seem to be ok again in tackles Seyfarth was a fan on doing them.
Games played but not total kicks so doesn't mean Fogarty has the longest boot, might just be that he kicks more often.I wish he did.

Edit: I got it all wrong. Fogarty is the gun !
Actually when you think about it, there are some missing metrics. A team may have a very capable kicker, however may find himself mostly at T5 40m out, vs a player who always finds himself 60m out on T5. So the type of kick required will differ.

Correct, plus as I said field position will dictate the type of kick required.Games played but not total kicks so doesn't mean Fogarty has the longest boot, might just be that he kicks more often.
I reckon it's a coaching thing. I dont know if they do or dont, but they should get him to practice OT. I think long kicking is more about timing coz alot of little fellas have big boots, and Dyl is coordinated and athletic enough to do it but I think he just doesnt practice.What are your thoughts on Dylan brown not having at least a mediocre long kicking game after 100 FG games and playing alongside one of the best long kickers in the game?
I dunno. Every player has strengths and weaknesses. Is it possible he doesn’t work hard enough to improve his kicking?What are your thoughts on Dylan brown not having at least a mediocre long kicking game after 100 FG games and playing alongside one of the best long kickers in the game?
Mate, it sounds like at least 2 of us are one-eyed.
It would be interesting to watch the replay, over a couple of bourbons, and have us both pointing out where we (think) were wronged. We would probably not shut up.
I'd finish the post with " at Commbank, Parra get so many home team leg-ups, it makes you sick" . . . but you might disagree somehow !
Good luck in the season, Moses will be back soon enough.
This new penalty is the most inconsistent.Also leg pulls seem to be ok again in tackles Seyfarth was a fan on doing them.
Why do people say he doesn’t have a long kicking game? Is it simply because he doesn’t attempt them, or because they’ve seen him try to kick long and fail at it?What are your thoughts on Dylan brown not having at least a mediocre long kicking game after 100 FG games and playing alongside one of the best long kickers in the game?

But I’m genuinely interested. I agree he rarely puts in a clearing kick. I’ve put that mostly down to having Moses who is one of, if not the best, at them. We also have Lussick and Hands who are acceptable long kickers out of the ruck.Can only go off what we have seen in his 100+ games.
