The argument isn't about whether or not McCullough can play 80 minutes, it's about whether the team is more advantaged with a bench hooker or another forward. Considering we have 4 80 min backrowers playing for 3 roles, and have 3 big minute front rowers (Hannant, McGuire and Kennedy), the...

Completely agreed, but that's not the only reason why we need it back. Plenty more.

So did Chris Sandow. The halves in the 20s is much more about ball running and stepping etc than it is about actual playmaking like the top grade. That's why so few 'real' halfbacks are cracking the grade these days like DCE and Adam Reynolds, they're just not the go in the under 20s.

It would be utterly stupid to sign one of the best kick returners in the league (certainly the best in 2012) and then ask him to play 6, just to appease a run-of-the-mill fullback.

Just a rough list of the fullbacks i'd have over Hoffman (roughly in skill order) 1. Inglis 2. Slater 3. Dugan 4. Barba 5. Hayne 6. Gordon 7. Boyd 8. Zillman 9. Milford 10. Tuivasa-Sheck (Despite limited games at fullback) 11. Stewart 12. Coote 13. Moylan 14. Tedesco 15. Reece Robinson Then...

I'm a fan of Hoffman, but not as a fullback. There is honestly 10 fullbacks in the comp better than him, kidding himself if he thinks the club shouldn't have signed Hoffman for his feelings. The bloke has the potential to be one of the best wingers in the comp (and has shown it), if he doesn't...

Hearing this will be announced today.

I said this in another thread - but I have a mate who works in NRL media, and at the moment (and the last 2 months) they've all been talking about DCE heading back north to the Broncos. Personally don't believe it's going to happen (hard to have positive thoughts with how we are going at the...

WRONG. Griffin will turn him into a hulk. He will be an absolute beast, able to bench 180 kg's, he will be a modern marvel of rippling man meat... He just won't be any good at footy any more.

The thing that impressed me about Hasler's work with the dogs last year is that he figured out that brilliant game plan in the bloody preseason! Had already pegged ball playing forwards as a tactic. Usually poor performances force coaches into radical decisions, Hasler has the balls and the nous...

A long time, 19 years to be exact.

I honestly think he's the worst winger we have consistently picked. He has one job - fall over - and he can't even do that.

I know what losing feels like... It's just been about 7 years since i've experienced it ;)

Living in Sydney, I want anybody but Souths to win. I have always hated the Roosters, but at least they have no fans. The amount of Souths 'fans' that have come out of the woodwork is driving me insane. I also have one good mate whom is a souths fan, he is the worst winner I've ever met because...

Should be renamed the Lachlan Maranta award by season's end.

Certainly hasn't been playing like a bloke who is trying to prove he is worth $1 million a season, instead he's been playing the spoiled sooky brat, not giving a shit because he thinks he's been hard done by. Tigers are lucky they're getting rid of him rather than bumping him up. He's been...

This is when you know someone is spewing complete bullshit from somewhere "Smith will sign for the broncos if X and Y happens and Z becomes coach, he has X person he misses in Brisbane and wants to move closer to his old neighbour's sister's dog who just got a place in Brisbane." Competitive...

We have made the most hit ups and most metres in the entire comp. Two underlying issues here - 1. shitloads of metres and field position lined up by the forwards and we do nothing with it. 2. We're not doing enough with the ball, most sets are just 5 hit ups and then a bomb, not trying any...

Agreed. I don't understand why he cops such a hard wrap. He's not a world beater, but he would definitely fix up a lot of our team's issues. Solid passing game, backs up around the ruck quite well (an under rated part of the half back role, which we don't do enough) and his kicking game wins...

No, you see, Andrew Gee is the reason why Inglis never put pen to paper. Everything else is true.
