Rumours and Stuff

We play the knights at home after Broncos with a 7 day turn around. Knights get a 6 day turnaround. We then get a 9 day turn around for Magic Round, Titans get 8. This part of the draw isn’t bad. The start was bad.

7 day turnaround with a flight from NT isn't ideal especially after 5 days and probably bugger all recover.

The start was bad because of the teams we play these 3 or so weeks will be worse.

We shouldn't be losing any games until the Souths match.

May be arrogant thinking that way but we should be winning our next 4 games if we are a serious contender.

We play Newcastle who play in Townsville this week and have a 6 day turnaround on the road again to play us.

Cowboys we play them origin week - so they should be depleted.

If we win 1 game I'll be shocked.

Knights also fly from Townsville but with 6 day turnaround.

what has been our strongest position over the last 30 years.
I would say fullback. Our best have been:
Hayne
Gutherson
Hodgson
McKinnon
Mick Gordon
Schifofski.
Mahon

Compare that to half:
Moses
Tumbleweed.

Hooker:
I cant think of any

And two of those fullbacks are currently in prison.

Why the f**k would Waqa Blake be on $500k? A 24-year old outside back who had never played Origin, and was unwanted by his former club wouldn’t cost that much.
He is Pou. We took him because Penrith were paying half. Now we are paying full freight and he’s as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike.

There’s no reason Penrith would’ve paid him that much either. But in any case, our contract with him was independent of the player’s negotiated payout with the Panthers. Two separate contracts.

And as we know it takes 9 days and 34mins to recover from a trip up Nth

Well Knights have no chance, we all know it’s impossible to win the week after playing in Townsville.
