Rumours and Stuff

Hey Escobar. Thoughts on Titans at 7-1 to make the top 8?
They'd need raiders to lose which I think is 50-50.
Storm to win which I almost gaurantee. They won't want 2 losses before finals. That leaves a 23 point differential for the Titans to catch.
Its possible Storm put a cricket score on Sharks but id tip a 16-20 point win. The Titans won't have to do a lot from then.

Marata doesn’t have Matto’s offload. He’d be be unstoppable if he developed one though.

He threw some passes when he played centre.

I'm sure he could develop one

But ICE is a machine on the edge and we get him on the field for 80min

And he gets too knackered if you ask me

 

[hindy111]

Canberra's form has been strong the last 8 weeks.

Scores same amount of tries as Storm.
Beat Manly (Both sides missing origin players)
Lost to Manly by a point
Best the Eels.
Bad loss to Knights
Best Warriors,Sharks,Saints who at time all had the top 8 spot to play for.
If they rolled the Roosters they go into the finals where they beat or pushed 4 of the top 6 sides. Its quite good form.

BA said it is also about giving his squad game time.

Do you want to be the club who readies their No.2 halfback, centre or fullback for first grade or go back to playing 30 year old journeymen in random postitions ? Do you prefer Will Smith as the general ? I don't.

No, I was being a smart arse. But I would rather he didn't rest Moses.

Different skill. We don't need the Feleti Mateo speculators. If he can develop one he should. His price would skyrocket.

You heard it here first. Or second if its already in another thread.

 

[Tooooks]

Yeah I was about to mention that. Wonder if he’ll be playing fullback or halfback.

I prefer Will Smith as the general.

Fullback would be my guess

Many would rather smith tbh. Or ever Carty at 6 and brown at 7. Jnr is far from being ready. If he’ll ever get there

They are the team I don't want us playing in the first week of the finals. They are still a bloody good team.

 

[Glenneel]

I really like the Moses, Marata, Penisini, Fergo combo it's a very powerful and skilful edge.

Also Marata shores up their defence. Would only have Lane on the bench to pay either middle or edge in 2 stints for impact and to limit his errors or lazy defence reads.

 

[Pazza]

From what I've seen ICE is a machine no matter where he plays.

A prop rotation of RCG, Jnr and ICE has the opportunity to be best in the league.

Many ? Many also don't want Will Smith at the club ...

I have never seen Will Smith run a team well. He is best at off the cuff stuff. So would rather have him at FB or 5/8 if he is ©. Actually not even FB because he's played there in reggies a few times I saw him live this year and he can't run it back. At least Shrub can follow a game plan and do simple things like pass to the chest from first receiver. Freshy is all over the shop.

 

[Tooooks]

I can’t imagine the kind of pressure where you make one mistake and it’s scrutinised mercilessly. Compare that to a player who makes a couple of bad errors in a game and it’s forgotten about almost immediately (unless you’re Ben Hunt in a grand final).
