He's a polarising figure, but if the Sydney Roosters go down, it will mark the end of Jared Warea-Hargreaves career in the NRL. The game will mark 311 games for the Sydney Roosters, the most of any player in their club's history and he'll go down as one of the all-time great Eastern Suburbs...

Since McLean runs directly towards Trindall, he's never obstructed by Wilton. Had McLean made contact with Wilton while Trindall was behind him then McLean would have manifested a disadvantage. Unfortunately in those situations players are required to come up with the cynical play.

🧐 "Cheers"? That's not the Pigskin I remember!

2. Ball Carriers must not run behind an active 'Block' or 'Flat' runner and disadvantage the defensive line. Had Cotter or McLean gotten to Wilton when Trindall was behind him then it would have been deemed an obstruction. As it was, nobody was directly disadvantaged in this instance.

They've had a good look at him over the years. He's got a great strong carry and the Magpies rely on it heavily. However outside of that he makes some very questionable decisions and doesn't have the speed or co-ordination to make up for it. Considering how things panned out, it wouldn't have...

The Sharks have finally got the monkey off their back. I don't think there was much between either side even at 24-0. The biggest difference is that the Sharks played with more width around the ruck and had more success going wide before turning it back in to roll down the field. Whereas I...

Latrell Siegwalt is receiving a train and trial shot for 2025. He's the type of prospect you'd hand an opportunity to, but the article highlights every reason why you shouldn't hold your breath. Walked out on the Bulldogs, walked out on the Dragons, was going to walk out on the Dolphins but...

Firstly, welcome back mate. To answer your question, yes through Flegler and Capewell who brought different points of attack and were sorely missed this year. Capewell was always handy for that second man tap on play and Flegler had a great draw and pass that used to buy Reynolds an acreage of...

Just to be clear on Mozer, while I want him to start 2025 in the 9, I'd be open to the odd stint off the bench. He'll likely need to be managed through out the year and he might need a spell part-way through the season. However I want to see an intent to make him the premier dummy half at the...

Folau had family here, but it was widely reported that the Broncos gave him 1.6 million good reasons to sign with the club. 400K p.a. when the cap was barely over 4 million, it was a crazy deal, especially since he spent so much time on the wing.

How did Folau fall into the Broncos lap? I wouldn't consider Folau a good signing either. A great talent sure, but at what cost?

A few things I'd like to see in 2025 - Mozer has to start the season, otherwise we're all going to be grumpy. - Would love a player outside of the current top 30 to earn their spot on the wing. Remember how Bennett would often pick a bolter in Round 1? Whether it was Steve Irwin, Leon Bott...

Canterbury blew it. After that Skelton try, they just started to ease up and failed to put the Sea Eagles to the sword. Suddenly players were too busy sucking in the big ones and didn't want to take carries. Then players started making lazy errors and it just left the door ajar for Manly. To...

For all the talk of Kalyn Ponga it was Kyle Feldt who stole the show. He intercepted the Knights twice when they had good ball, his run set the Cowboys up for the McLean try and it was his tap back that set up Cotter's fortuitous try. It's been a remarkable season for him and arguably the best...

We'll kick the winning score! Onya Sprojy!

To beat Melbourne you have to ruffle their feathers, bully them and take calculated risks. They're a team that does their home-work and play the percentages, but if you throw something new at them they can lose their head quite quickly. Cronulla were never able to do that and the longer the...

Yeah, the Chels!

The Penrith juggernaut just keeps rolling on. If I had to pick a moment, it was early on when Cleary elected to run the ball on the last. It just completely bamboozled the Roosters, threw them off their rhythm and just about every error they made that half was punished. No weak links for the...
