To'o along with the other backs allows our props to walk back twiddling their thumbs until the 4th tackle. He would greatly improve any side he played in

And our middles hard work means our backs are taking lots of kicks on the the full with 15 to 20 easier metres and kick chasers that aren’t set properly because they kicked off the back foot.

Biz made 80 tackles in 15 games this year thats 5 a game. If our middles are twiddling their thumbs while the backs run the ball out then our backs are twiddling their thumbs while our muddles do all the defensive heavy lifting.

Yes its a system with To'o being by far the most important part

The most important parts in our metres and defence are Yeo and edwards easily.

Buy look at Moses and biz this year. Biz 205m ave Moses 93m. So Moses is doing about 40-45 percent of the metre eating working that biz is. Meanwhile biz is doing 25 percent of the defensive work Moses does.

How do you pick a more important piece? As you say it’s a system and it doesn’t work without both doing their job. Neither side is carrying the other, they compliment each other. Biz isn’t running for all those metres if he has to make 20 tackles a game and our defence isnt dominating if our props are tacking hit ups on tackle 2 or 3 every set.

This, this, a million times this.

Our forwards winning the ruck so consistently in defense is worth probably 5-10 meters a set to one of our back 3. Our back 3/5 consistently winning the ruck on plays 1-3 gives our forwards the energy to dominate defensively without sacrificing field position.

None of this is "mental gymnastics", it's just how our system works.

He
Didnt Weidler have Panthers shopping him around yesterday? He’s making shit up running with the rumours and guessing what the blanks are.

if Brians manager is meeting with Penrith. Its to put the rumours to bed.
He could do that on the phone no need to meet officials

I’m big on Contracts and personally no fan of signing a guy who sooks to get out of one. Would love Too but if it was to ever happen would want to be done the right way.

the reason I came in here was that tigers forum saying we’re signing Harrison Hassett, I’ve never heard of the guy, any good?

Highly rated coming out of sg ball(he is still very young) he not really kicked on. Recently hes been in and out of cup while another flegg edge has come up and taking his spot. He definitely has talent but hes very small for an edge forward, needs to puit on weight.
