Which is more likely than 4 wins 2 losses.Yep. Suddenly we are going to end up 0 and 6. The world's most negative merkins all end up whinging on League Unlimited.

He's not a winger either.Waqa isn't a centre but we have no one else unfortunately..
Hope he's taking the opportunity to do some further study toward a future career.Well he is off contract now and hasn't signed with anyone for next year doesn't look good for Waqa
Is the other site (not TCT) any more positive at the moment?Yep. Suddenly we are going to end up 0 and 6. The world's most negative merkins all end up whinging on League Unlimited.
Hodgson's organising is likely why our attack is so good this year. Putting him on the bench means our whole structure has to change. It could be that his composure in attack justifies wearing the cost in defence. He's not there to run, he is there for his talk and decision making. The solution to fatigue isn't to give reserve graders more minutes. The solution is to control the ball, which we did against Melbourne and didn't do against the Sharks.But @Poupou Escobar says it's ok not to use any bench options or give them extra minutes to give our middles a break...
In reality, Hodgson would be best for 30-50 mins either starting or off the bench. It's a massive recruitment fail to not have the other dunny half and middle defence minutes covered by a dedicated option in the top 30 squad.
You might find the Roosters will use the NRL Long Serving player allowance to retain Daniel Tupou - $250 k per team - As JWH won't be re-signed Tupou is the only player eligible for thisThe only concern I have with Tupou is that we're essentially going to have two players who have played their entire careers on the left wing, and we only need one left winger.
Gronk would be happy with three of them in the team.The only concern I have with Tupou is that we're essentially going to have two players who have played their entire careers on the left wing, and we only need one left winger.

Tupou is a left winger and Dominic Young a right winger

f**k me. Hodgson's simply not built for 80mins a game, for 25 rounds, and with no acceptable dummy half (attack) or middle (defence) back-up in the 30 man squad.Hodgson's organising is likely why our attack is so good this year. Putting him on the bench means our whole structure has to change. It could be that his composure in attack justifies wearing the cost in defence.

Peter Fitzsimons to play Prop would make his day!!!!Gronk would be happy with three of them in the team.
Why else would merkins be slitting their wrists over four point losses to a couple of last year's top sides?You still think we are in a good place in 2023? MON and BA have done a good job recruiting for our top 30? The premiership window is still open and that we are still NRL heavyweights?
Flegg is under 21s now. The best 21 year olds should be paying reserve grade or first grade, as is the case with Penisini, Russell, Arthur, Mataele, Loizou and Komolafe. All these increased ages of junior rep comps due to Covid has made Flegg a bit of a dead zone. When I was a kid Flegg was under 19s. Now that's the age group for SG Ball.We have the juniors coming up but once they step into Flegg they never develop... Who are the coaches at that level.
We have some decent kids in Ball this season let's see what happens.
He's achieved f**k all at club level because he is happy to chase the dollar at shit clubs. But he has shown at Origin level that he is one of the best players in the game. Ponga is another. It's easy to underrate merkins at weak clubs (and overrate the ones at top clubs).What has Ben hunt achieved at club level? Not much more than moses
I don't deny our defence was atrocious this week. f**king horrible.Our defence is still f**ked. If you score that many points in two games you should end up winning.
Well of course now you are ignoring the facts and just trolling. I'll just call you out and move on.Oh dear. Can't you just take a step back and observe the difference in quality?
Or just continue to attempt to find ways to justify acceptance of whatever mediocrity is dished up week to week, and blind faith in authority figures that can't do wrong in your eyes....
Some players are slow, others are dumb. Few players don't have weaknesses.No but Blake is a dumb footballer. Absolute dunce.
My point was it's too soon for any sort of predictions. It's round two ffs. In previous years we've been 2-0 at this point and it's meant f**k all.Lol... I don't think there's any risk of that happening!!!
One of your best Pou Bear.....
It's all about getting more first graders so we don't have to pick reserve graders every week.Underwhelming to be honest, seems like signings for the sake of it.
