Mennings is still a better player but Opacic nearly has it all - strength, footy smarts, lateral movement. All he lacks is speed.
Speed and power. MJ was far more dangerous.

I like it Hindy, if you say he played well, it lends some wait to it. He might be just one of those players that slipped through the hands of a couple of clubs. Might be another astute signing also.
Hipgrave I do not rate though Ram. Doesn't offer a lot. This kid is as good imo.
I wouldn't have him over Mahoney, tbh.
I'm in the minority, but I love what Mahoney brings to the table.

Yeah, he has been very underwhelming. What he does offer I suppose is experience and that is why our coach has persisted with him.
But I like power and aggression coming off the bench, and Hipgrave hasn't offered to much of that at all, even though that is supposed to be his main attribute.
For all the whingers that are bagging us on social media and the media like Freddy F**king Fitler, about playing all our NSW cup team on the weekend and now asking for an exemption.
SUCK SH*T!!!
We decided to flaunt the rules for once like the likes of the Rorters and the Storm normally always do and it worked. They are generally the ones who work all the angles and then somehow get away with it.
Well I think we have learnt something from those arse-hats and returned serve and they don't like it. Not one bit. We smashed them in the top grade and we smashed them in the lower grade. How brilliant.
Suck it losers! It's one for the good guys for once. Eat it and I'll tell you what, you're going to damn like it!
We are going to Queensland with all the players we want and our coaches son may even have a wonderful debut in front of a great crowd on an amazing weekend of footy. Win lose or draw, our club are the winners and all our players and supporters are the beneficiaries of a club that has out foxed all the other 15 NRL clubs combined. I just live it.
Suffer cry babies, suffer!!!
Sounds a bit like a Guns N Roses song I think.
Ram has a great voice. Big set of lungs. You should hear him scream.

He was supposed to be a f'n Mad Merkin. We are yet to see his intimidation factor. We should have fired him up last game and told him to smash Teddy.I'm keen to see if we activate our club option on him.
Yeh, now I'm thinking of Deliverance.
There is a reason Bellamy went for Coates after losing JAC, speed, and they have in in abundance. Reimis Smith, ordinary first grader at Dogs, but has speed. Storm backline is one of quickest in NRL so with platform set by big aggressive forwards they can score tries from anywhere. Plus speed helps in defence particularly your edge defence which we're always suspect at because we lack speed to get across in time. I'll say it again, until we get speed in the backs, we'll not push that premiership window fully open.My issue with this guy is not the player himself but the squad. We lack speed and skill in the backline.
Gutherson is great but slow and same goes for Sivo. Opacic,And Fergo also add to a sluggish backline. Blake is the only guy with some toe and footwork.
Fergo leaving is the right call. We need to inject more in that area.
Guth and Sivo are lock ins. So is Blake. Opacic is fine if we can find a centre or wing with a bit more electricity about their game.
Thought you had a sound proof room with the Bones on Bones Club?Ram has a great voice. Big set of lungs. You should hear him scream.
