So does that mean Kaysa is likely to be in Wenty for the next two months getting match fit? Seems necessary going off the Kane Evans return to work program.

easy in hindsight but a huge gamble if King is injured early in the game, then we would have been forced to play an unfit player for the majority of the game, its all about the risk assessment

if that happens is just more fodder for the death riders like "why would BA pick Kaysa if he knew he wasn't fit ?",

like I said, what real choice did he have ?
I think you answered your own question.

Its not even a "fitness" thing ... is his groin 100%? ... is it a risk to slot him straight back in? ..... king goes down, pritchard comes on with a didgy groin ... "why the f**k would ba pick a player coming back from injury?"

Dont get me wrong - i called will smith every name i could think of and dont like him getting named, but i have some f**kin consideration that maybe there are reasons

Takairangi should be the first axed!

* missed a tackle in the lead up to the first try, then when the ball went past him walked hands on hips as McDonald and Widdop went through.


He didn’t miss any tackle. Yes he should have pushed up just in case but others didn’t either (they are off the camera), Jennings was the one that didn’t work hard enough.

If the review is performance based, I’d expect the boss of the junior league to be searching for a new job next year. He’d be my first merkin axed.

I’d be poaching phil Cummings back from Penrith.
As you know , my experience with the pelican when I was secretary of one of the biggest clubs was horrendous. He has basically the whole junior league offside, registrations have fallen drastically, and overall direction has stalled.
Fortunately, Anyhony Field contacted most of the decent older age juniors, otherwise they would be playing in other districts.
This appointment by DA doesn't help the club at all, hope the review takes the opportunity to speak to presidents of secretaries of major junior clubs to understand the issue. The Penrith JRL has improved since Cummings was allowed to leave and head that district.

Takairangi was the only walker. This happens continually throughout the game.

If that tackle was made close to out try line, Takairangi would still be 25 meters away for the next tackle. Nowhere near urgent enough

No sure we are speaking the same language merkin.

Tweet spoke about 2 or 3 players that need to be shown the door under a no dickhead policy.

Who are they ?
Well after watching the last 10 mins of the game there are plenty of suspects.

I guess it's possible they are referring to Hayne. Maybe they forgot we turfed Kenny. Having '2 or 3' is a pretty vague and easy statement to make.

How do you enforce a NDH policy anyway? And besides, the Broncos and Roosters and Storm seem to do ok with dickheads hanging around.

Ferguson’s form this year suggests his attitude has been fixed. Obviously someone like him is always a risk of dropping his shit (like Norman, Hayne and probably Jennings) but on a short deal at a new club he should be expected to keep it together for a year or two, insha’allah.
Yes Ferguson playing like a player trying to get a new contract.

How about

1. Hayne/ French / Gutho
2. Koribeti / Morris / Hayne
3. Mennings
4. Morris
5. Fergo
6. Austin
7. Mosses
So that's how we'll win next year, 3 fullbacks and 4 wingers, interesting strategy and Pou never even thought of it. Just hope the NRL doesn't realise we have extra players on the field.
