I was coming on here to say just how coincidental it was that all the games have been super close, and often with multiple lead changes throughout the games. I would love to see the stats on penalties and 6-agains as which ones were awarded to the team behind on the scoreboard, as Hashtag Game...
Sin bins shouldn't be called dependent on "feel for the game". Should players get away with exactly the same actions just because in the refs interpretation they are the team that has the momentum? Because that's how you get teams like the Panthers get all the calls because they are expected to...
"Nah I never played fullback growing up (giggle)".
"I played at lock though. Like in the middle. But they made me play it behind the line so I could catch the kicks and have room to run, and they kept making me wear the number 1 jersey, I think because I was like, the number one best try...
He's going to be 38 years old and still scrapping out 70+ min performances and you'll be saying "yeah I'm really worried that all these minutes are going to take their toll eventually". Dude's a machine hahahhahaa.
Cut off his parents? Maybe, but I'm more talking about his siblings. Even if he does distance himself from his parents, he wouldn't cut off his siblings and some of them are young enough to still need parental guidance and support (which, I assume, the parents aren't providing, and soon may not...
And also why he didn't take unders to stay. Not that you need $1 million + a year to support a family but sounds like he'll be the head of the family indefinitely and his career won't last forever.
I wish I had an answer, not at work so I can't ask sorry. But it would make sense as to why we're not playing Pereira, he's a solid first grader, I'm sure he would be preferred over a rookie considering the other outs.
I work with a guy that has been saying his son's been signed to the Broncos since 15. All of a sudden saying that he's only one or two injuries away from getting a shot, I'm thinking "sure buddy, every young kids Dad has those high hopes". Turns out it's Trew's dad hahahaha. Now I know why he...
What that means then is that this is all a smokescreen for something juicy that went down but powerbrokers in the NRL and media are trying to bury.
Has the Ponga situation suddenly gone quiet?
My guess is that they'll have any players with PNG heritage exempt from the cap, and then the full cap that every other team has to recruit non-PNG players as well. It's the easiest way to get them to have a decent contingent of PNG players but still being competitive.
But as @Browny said...
Warriors won't give up their home game against us during Origin.
My guess would be Bulldogs as the "home" team if the Sea Eagles pull out. They've always been out in numbers when their team play in Brisbane. Also probably the most feral supporters but whatever.
