What he did to the Eels was far worse than what he did to McCracken.

I've got no loyalty to former Eels staff.

someone should go on that thread and explain the big face theory

 

[Haynzy]

This was more of a test-Kind of similar too our teams recruiting methods. Your mentally tough-You gave it straight back I like this kid. Sign him up for 800k a year for 2yrs. You will play centre and maybe then fullback

Strewth hindy111, you're letting your schtick slip!

They weren't ready for it were they?

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

I f**ken hate rugby union but they still use the terms inside/outside centre (i think). Do they still run around changing positions when the ball moves left and right?

Yes. When practical.

Auva'a would be good to get

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Wouldn't mind Richie Kennar. Possibly with our NYC outside back signing we're at the limit of young outside backs with limited NRL experience.

 

[jason taylor]

Auva'a inside of Radradra would be good to see.

 

[Someone]

Auva'a inside of Radradra would be good to see.

when fit taka is a good fit inside semi.

Mate, there are potentially children reading this thread

The old inside centre, like the five-eighth, played at a time when it was easy to create space on a long open side. So they had more space to work in. Modern edge forwards have far less room to work in than the inside centre of yore.

But if you only started following Rugby League in the nineties (as you have told us on a number of occasions) how would you know anything about inside centres and long open sides?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I watched plenty of old video. I also played in the early nineties when volunteer coaches were all silly old merkins like yourself who taught us the game how they remembered it when they were kids.

I can't see any forwards on that list I would pick Ma'u ahead of.

Agreed, the Kiwis have a top line pack. Good for us as well he won't miss any pre season.

 

[strider]

yep - some very good players there

 

[Bigfella]

Yep all of those back row options have form, consistency and size advantage over Manu on 2015
