Re: Round 27 - Rest and Blood players

More of that from Sims please. The great thing about where the side currently is (and how I feel Bellamy treats his selections) is every one of those guys went out there on Friday night wanting to show they could crack the 17 for next weekend. Sims was probably the most evident of this. Also - Nikor...

Re: Round 26 - Storm vs Titans AAMI Park, 26th Aug

How many penalties does this bloody team give away when the opposition are utterly gassed and trying to work it out of their own end?

It’s absolutely infuriating.

Re: Round 26 - Storm vs Titans AAMI Park, 26th Aug

Bench is a bit light for my liking but can understand the tactic with Grant coming in a bit later in the game.

I’d dare say because the game was over and result was pretty much beyond doubt - not that that’s an excuse?

Re: R24 Sun - Melbourne v Canberra @ AAMI

Looks like Hughes will be playing. Only two players in the reserves remaining are Smith and MacDonald.

Re: Queensland Cup

He’s playing. They just published the wrong team sheet on socials. It’s been updated now.

Re: Round 23 V Panthers Friday

I feel for Wishart, he's not a winger. I don't know why Young didn't move to the wing where he has experience playing and let Wishart move in one which would be closer to his preferred halves position. He plays with a lot of heart. He’s tough as nails but he’s clearly not a back. I think he might b...

Re: Round 23 V Panthers Friday

Just saw a clip of the Luai shoulder charge on Asofa-Solomona. That’s an absolute shocker. Here it is for anyone who hasn’t seen it: https://twitter.com/mrchrisnico/status/1687425044266520576?s=46&t=zDYV3fxGbEv2O0jTqMQ3ag Given what we’ve seen in the last 48 hours he is very, very lucky he wasn’...

Re: Round 23 V Panthers Friday

That period just before half-time with that weird Welch off-load and the two King penalties were really costly. Outside of that - losing Jennings midway through the first-half, not having Hughes and Coates, and having to do that much defence I’ll take that loss. The second-half was an improvement as...

Re: Round 23 V Panthers Friday

Welch loves a poorly timed offload doesn’t he?

That was awful.

Re: Newcastle Knights vs Melbourne Storm at McDonald Jones Stadium, 5.30pm AEST

The backline badly lacks any penetration - ditto the forward pack.

It might be a weird thing to say but I think the team badly needs Katoa back to move NAS back to the middle or the bench. Forward rotation is a bit off.

Re: Newcastle Knights vs Melbourne Storm at McDonald Jones Stadium, 5.30pm AEST

That was a real load of horses***.

Utterly trash. Sims should never play for the Storm again.

Too many rushed passes. Bad defence. Really annoyed.

He’s a total monster. He has to be in the 17 every week.
