I expect the Cowboys to win tonight, I think they have the form forward pack in the comp right now and with JT and Bowen playing as they are I don't think even a Sydney hoodoo will stop them.
I think the Raiders will win in a tight one tomorrow, the Rabbits got stage fright and can't beat...
Carney was an out an out finisher really (albeit a bloody good one), this Tomkins guy obviously has a bit of ball playing in him to come up with stats like that. The couple of times I have seen him for England he hasn't stood out whether he has improved or whether it is hard to be prominent when...
I reckon we should convince Sam Tomkins to give the NRL a crack. I know it is only Super League but he scored 28 tries and setup 33 this year. That is crazy for a fullback!
Wallace's biggest issue is how long he takes to make decisions. At hooker this will get exposed more than anywhere else. All great hookers are great thinkers but are more importantly very quick thinkers and Wallace is hardly a great thinker and he is slow as a wet week at making decisions.
Brett Finch wants to come back to Australia. Has the competitiveness that Wallace has but actually knows how to set up tries. He is a bit of a tool on the field but we could do a lot worse than bring a guy like him to the club. He is also a guy that has been in plenty of successful teams both...
So you would rather not take a stab (this is all hypothetical of course) at a guy who was one of the top 2 or 3 6's in the comp on decent low money when we have been appallingly bad in attack due to the lack of quality in our spine and he wouldn't be anywhere near the captaincy so he wouldn't...
Our culture? What exactly has Campese done wrong?
Or by culture do you mean rewarding underperforming speds with spots in our spine ala Hoffman, Norman and Wallace?
I would dare say you are right. It is very hard to replace a centre especially defensively at this point of the season let alone two and let alone against probably the form centre pairing in the comp right now. Whichever of them gets Whare will cut shreds, good talent in attack but he always...
I just don't want to see Griffin be so loyal to the Michael Hagan degree of coaching where the team could get beat by 50 and he changes nothing. On recruiting guys I don't care if it is NRL level guys or we look at kids from outside our system in either Toyota Cup or Q Cup but we seriously lack...
I cannot understand how Jason King got off. Swinging arm to the jaw, the consistency of the MRP and judiciary is a joke. Proctor and Vave should have got at least a week somehow, it was not a good looking spear tackle!
Makes a good one on one tackle there from a linebreak and he certainly has that sense of timing his involvement in the right spot in the backline. We could do worse than give a player like that a chance.
I am on the Cowboys now. Order from there would be....
Cowboys
Raiders
Storm
Rabbitohs
Bulldogs (Barba does save them a bit)
I can't even type the other remaining team, I hope there bus crashes next weekend and they forfeit.
Campese would be great were he not so burdened by big injury layoffs, having said that he would be expensive had he played heaps of the last two or three years.
