Rumours and Stuff

I'm starting to think Matto isn't a certainty for our top 17.

I’m certain he is, Carty on the other hand…

I think you’re right. In fact I think a few of those established players are realising regardless of salary, you may not be the automatic pick for the job.

Character. Work ethic. Intent.

I think is all that stands with Ryles.

100% in 2004 they started with the ruck interpretations which created the touch football NRL era and Sheenius was onto it immediately.

The touch football era started in 2004? The Eels set point scoring records in 2001 then the NRL slowed the ruck and Ricky Stuart’s team was best at exploiting the new ruck rules. Maybe it reared its head again in 2005 (we were minor premiers again) but by 2006 the Storm showed everyone how to stop all that free flowing shit.

Or maybe, the referees did??

Im sure Parra were fantastic at it, maybe the worlds best, setting new standards and wowing fans and spectators world wide. I bet they were super duper cool and it was all very exciting!!!

Tigers won the comp and there are endless replays of the Benji pass and that season and noone remembers who the minor premiers were.

Ivan Cleary tempers expectations around Blaize Talagi at the Panthers.​

"There’s a lot to learn," Cleary said when asked to assess Talagi.

"I know he played a lot of first grade last year but he's still very green.

I could have told him that for free. My expectations were already extremely tempered.

I wonder if there is some buyers regret. If we look at this coming season alone, he’s Drown’s attack without the defence. That’s a VERY ordinary 5/8

That article was pure buyers remorse.

Next year he is receiving the ball from Cleary or Yeo and defending next to Martin/Sorenson/Alamoti

Nah.... he will be in reserve grade. Jack Cole will get first shot. Talagi is not a first grader yet.
Cost us numerous games last year.
