Yeah he’ll learn. It’s pretty normal for players stepping up to run tall. They need Oatesy to show all the young ones how it’s done.

Hunt is probably the only half who looks decent behind a beaten pack. Dearden is doing fine.

My first thought too. I am biased though as i want to keep Herbie. I wouldn't accept losing Cobbo or Oates for that matter.

NSW saw him talking in Origin and mic'd him up in the hopes of learning our gameplan. ;) (they also elbowed him in the throat to take him out ... you heard it here first!)

We were a bit lucky with a strip on Flegler that popped straight into the arms of, I think it was, Riki? Pretty sure it was the right call but we were still lucky to be allowed to play on.

That’s old news. Like a few other players Nick asked the commentators to pronounce his name correctly.

None of the above. Sign some Qldrs who want to be here. Reyno gets honorary Qld membership.

Haha. I watched Herbie closely this game. No smile after he scored this time as well. That’s just how is he is.

Would however: a) have a beer while injured. What a naughty boy. ;) Love the young fella and he's playing better than i hoped. It was hard for everyone to perform last year but he was definitely trying.

Contract year has nothing to do with it. Oates was Broncos top try scorer in 2016, 2nd in 2017 right behind Roberts, 1st in 2018, 1st in 2019 (but the trys were starting to dry up due to the players beside him - he only got 13). I keep raving about this but we literally stopped getting the ball...

Well now Gamble needs to do Reynos hairstyle.

Riki is getting better. Pretty sure it was him at the bottom of the pile of players to stop Best scoring having turned Best onto his back.

Yeah. I felt this way too. The doggies and other bottom dwellers saw us as their best chance of a win. The Cowboys turned the level to 11 on against us just recently. The top tier teams just needed a good start to put a score on us.

Bloody good to hear Adam say he won't compare Cobbo to Inglis because he is Cobbo. Let him be himself.

I'm confident Kev knows what was happening. He said the middle is now functioning properly again and getting the ball out to him so he's scoring trys again. Mentioned that he nearly had 100 trys before this year.

Especially if we disguise him as Herbie.

Sign him up. This Oates is the Oates we get when we make sure he is getting the ball in decent field position. It worked from 2015 to mid 2019 when we suddenly forgot he was on the wing. Oates played very well in QCup when we dropped him there last year and is playing no differently from last...

Oates lost his voice years ago screaming at Herbie since 2020. After a year of Shibasaki dropping the ball before even having a chance to pass to Oates he gets replaced by a guy who never even looks like he is going to pass. It’s a bugbear of mine that we underutilise Oates and our coaches...

I know Oates plays it up with the media that he isn’t smart but he’s not a complete potato. The wing to second row line he ran in this game is nothing new for him, he ran this line several times before over the years and ,imo, something he wants to do (based on things he has said in pressers)...
