Big 2017 lineup questions: Parker's replacement, left centre and the Benji riddle.
Jersey numbers and positions are irrelevant. Minutes are key.
We need at least 5 middle forwards in the 17. We've lost Parker and Wallace. That's a huge loss in a forward pack already very light on.
In terms...
Deadset quality player, great finisher (even now in his late 20s), absolute competitor, can sniff out half chances, safe under the high ball. Titans will rue letting him go, especially when Hayne departs at the end of 2017.
It's criminal that we will at best win 1/3 premierships during this premiership "window".
Without any argument, the strongest roster in the competition.
Qld State of Origin forward pack, Australian and NZ fullback, Roberts, Oates, Milford, plus a supporting cast of representative...
What's the fit like around the arms. I found the Nike jerseys are balloony around the arms either for fat people or people who skip every thing but arms day at the gym.
An M fits me snug but slim fit around the body and neck and the length is right (186cm)
**** Nike.
They make Argentina Rugby and Broncos league jerseys. Everything is a rehash of other team wear or designs.
At least with ISC we're getting custom designs, a shitload more merchandise, latest "trends" in Rugby league Jersey design.
ISC is the premier league jersey teamwear...
Looks sick. Great first up effort from ISC. We were falling so far behind with Nike, despite the novelty factor.
And hopefully we get a home jersey under $160
Wayne isn't afraid to mix up positions, like Glenn into the middle late last year was a masterstroke. Whether Hunt could be shuffled around the middle with Macca at 13, I dunno. If Bennett can extract the form turnaround he did with Blair on Marshall, anything is possible.
You have to be...
Why 2017 will be better than 2016
Good coach check
Great roster check
Lost one to win won check
No 2016 expectation pressure check
Do everything to avoid 2016 nose dive mid season check
No Bennett infidelity check
No Milford Hunt origin ban check
Increased big game exposure check...
Moga. He's a roughie if there's ever been one. Bloke is so injury prone. Hope we paid peanuts for him and he's actually fit now.
Mead is a dead set gun. One of the truest tests of ability is playing in a shit squad and still producing. His effort in 2008 RLWC game as a rookie for PNG vs...
Carbon copy of every other game. We win the first 10. Butcher the next 10 with simple one on one miss on Feldt.
Get back in it off an awful game from Coote.
In a winning position and Gillett throws a leg out and that's the game right there.
Has there ever been a player like Thurston...
We have to beat both the teams that have collectively knocked us out of the finals every year for the past decade (bar 2011, which was Gerard Beale's knee).
I don't think we've ever beaten the Storm or the Cowboys in a finals game (or at least an elimination game).
The thing that keeps me...
Thaiday to 11 and Glenn off the bench is a fucking masterstroke from Bennett.
Need to take the mistakes out of TPJ and we've got a pretty smokin bench.
Positives: We beat a quality opposition who had come to play. Napa, JWH, Guerra - they were up for it.
Oates breaking the game open. Milford actually closing a line break into a try.
Opening intensity. Our A-team forwards go out there to blitz the other team. Our B-side, with Glenn and...
I said four weeks ago, we had nothing left to give to change or mix it up.
Thaiday has been a revelation back on the fringe. Glenn adding experience and energy to the middle when he subs on. Opacic, young bloke exploding with confidence.
Hunt has found his hunger. You can see it in...
Storm are a beatable side these days.
They will play zero mistake, predictably perfect football, controlled by Smith. Whereas before they had Slater just sniffing out tries all day behind Smith, Munster just doesn't have that same innate ability.
Our victory against them last year in...
