I just love it. All last year everyone was chuffed to bits with vidot. This year Bennett drops him and all of a sudden a certain subset of bhq are just piling it on him saying hes just a stop gap and isn't a good player lol. Turn it up. As someone said, the writing is on the wall for vidot by...

Am I the only one who isn't all aboard the Oates train? Ive seen nothing to suggest he'll be a top tier player. Hes played well, but you compare him to other boom youngster backrowers and he's a mile behind.

Yahtzee. Should've gone hard after cherry Evans, he obviously was going to leave manly and I think he wouldve jumped at the chance to build a team around him in Brisbane with him steering the ship. Milford/cherry evans/hunt is a 1/6/7 wet dream. All young, all among the best in their positions...

Queensland won for 8 years straight, that's the only reason he kept his spot, and Australia rarely loses so the same there. Rep selectors basically always keep the same team if you win.

Well no, because even if you mess up 4/5 times, id the other winger got no ball then the guy who stuff up 4/5 times still scored more tries. Where was this blind support for henjak and griffin cult? They've been involved in rugby league for years too, they know best - correct?

I love my job but if someone just up the road offered me twice the money and a guaranteed promotion (ie first grade spot) I'd probably jump ship.

You cant finish what wasn't set up. Saying because someone scored more tries means theyre a better finisher implies that they both had equal opportunities to finish in the first place. That's not how rugby league works. If your attack favours the left then the left will have more opportunities...

The salary cap is $7mil+, not $4mil.

Again, that makes no sense. You dont want someone out there who is doing more harm than good.

Yeh that's not how it works lol.

The agenda in talking about isn't one to do with vidot. Vidot is less of a liability in attack than maranta and reed.

Thaiday hasn't earned a rep jersey since about 2008.

Source? From what I've read he worked his arse off, quite literally, and dropped 5kg+. That much is a fact, straight from vidot himself. Not sure where these supposed reports of a poor offseason are coming from, other than agendas. But please, provide some sort of source and ill gladly read it...

But that is how the Broncos played from 2001-2008 for the most part, and also how Newcastle played for the last 3 years. In fact if you switch the 8th/12th/8th around to 12th/8th/12th you basically have Newcastles 2012-2014 in a nutshell lol.

Bad forwards or not, Milford returning kicks and chiming in from the back is where he excels and I have no doubt he would've been able to make far more of an impact had he been back there instead of in the front line. Would we have won? Not a chance in hell. Doesn't mean he still couldn't have...

But I've been told that it was due to injury during the game? lol.

Corey Oates isn't even a winger, hes a backrower who they're now trying to turn into a winger. Kahu I just don't get the love. Sure I didn't watch him play in reserve grade or as a schoolboy, but hes had 15 or so first grade matches and is yet to really show anything other than average IMO...

I disagree. Milford excelled at fullback last year in a bad team at canberra. Their forwards got dominated and he still carved up.

Anybody want to find a video of any of the number of times Maranta either dropped the ball cold over the line, with the line wide open, or just flat out fell over his own feet with the line wide open? Or any of the times Reed has completely ruined scoring opportunities by hogging the ball. I'm...

I agree with you, but I disagree with your last post of saying it's only something you need to experience once or twice. I'd experience it every weekend if I could, but they've priced me out of it at this stage.
