Hi BLM01. I've read that Dean Young will serve as interim head coach for the game in Auckland on Saturday June 25, as Kristian Woolf remains in the UK due to his Super League commitments with St Helens. Wayne Bennett will be Dean's advisor.

 

[BBTB]

Yes, but we need Sullivan to make his way into the team, so is that at 9 or Hunt at 9?

Bud at 14.

Yes, I think that there is a lot missing in our game (as well as other teams missing a lot). My interest this year has been a bit meh like Crush. We do lack flair and excitement with the types of players we have ended up with overall. While we do have some exciting players in certain positions, at this stage, they aren't like those Mickey has mentioned. One day hopefully they will be.

Same as with some other teams, like they are just going through the motions stuff and is becoming a bit mundane. Just waiting for the inevitable result this year and getting it out of the way. If we can jag a final spot, that will get my adrenaline pumping for sure.

Nathan Blacklock to me was a more excitement machine than even the likes of Tommy T is.

Our attention though needs to be in our next game coming up. Win this and who knows the "meh" might turn into an "awesome".

Yes agree, it's the modern game. The referees orchestrating games for News Limited.
They ruining the game as a spectacle.
The NRL have to stop bending over for News LIMITED.
Or as Murdoch said he thinks AFL is the best game in Australia. We support them.
In time, not to far down the track, with no support for the crowd attendance, and letting the bunker & referee's
Orchestrate games, there will be no fans left.

We are now left with a "game that is a shadow of former self". With rule change,"The BUNKER",REFEREES. The modern game has turned into a real mess. Thanks NEWS LIMITED. All you're going for is RATINGS. It's a
disgrace.

5. Maguire also will be ready to return, where does he play?

I'm tipping he'll play 20 minutes in the bin, 10 each half, the balance to be split equally between the bench and doing some grubby shit or getting in the way of our attack.

True, unfortunately.
It’s now a game of “Interpretations” instead of rules.
Every ref or bunker official see things differently & rule accordingly.

Bud at 14.

Then that number will be about our finish line on NRL table while we have a tortoise dictating our ruck speed.

 

[randomdragon]

So we should drop McCullough after he had a try and try assist?

I have finally lost just about all interest in the game now , for the very reasons that yourself and BBTB have mentioned .

It has become a shambles , they no longer use the advert - ‘ the greatest game of all ‘ as it has no meaning whatsoever . And I blame it on the NRL for kowtowing to the television corporations and by so doing displaying absolute indifference to the purity of the game .

It is a mishmash of broken segments - a hybrid of rugby league that the tele moguls have refined over the years and which they now present as entertainment - not sport .

Damn shameful !

I can see Su’a starting for Sims and Moose taking Sullivan spot on the bench if Hunt backs up

I’d like to see hunt start on bench with Sullivan at 7

 

[SGMax]

I just did a mental comparison of the two number 10s....Lawrie v Hess.
I am nervous about this game.
As stated above, we need to get Maguire and Sua into the team.

 

[Illusion]

Agree he needs to start playing some games from 7 otherwise we will never know ......
