We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

Sounds like gross assumption and over reaction to me.

He was walking around after the game. If his Achilles was gone he would be in so much pain he would not be able to sit let alone walk. it was a very large assumption.

My favourites are http://mc.championdata.com/nrl/ for individual game stats and https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-pr ... ts/players for season stats.

Getting all relevant stats is infinitely more difficult than it should be.

I use championdata as above, but even then they don’t capture everything (like minutes played). So you end up having to go to two or three places. Pretty embarrassing tbh.

SMITH AVOIDS SERIOUS INJURY
MELBOURNE Storm will be praying Cameron Smith’s injury is on the minor end after the captain hobbled off against South Sydney with fears it could be an achilles.

I've only seen the highlights so far, but are people still thinking that Blair is a better option at centre than Chambers?

It was a stupid argument before but after his last couple of games there is no argument whatsoever.

I still want an explanation as to why Blair played centre and Chambers played wing, it makes no sense to me.

Blair played in the centres because Bellamy is a winningest coach and knows best imo.

The Blair, Chambers positional switch was a head scratcher for sure. Chambers is a better centre than Cheyse and Cheyse is a better winger than Will.
The best part of last night was we saw what the Rabbitohs bring thats as good they get. Their depth in attack, their left side stacking and changes of directions.
Oh and their booing fans are the ugliest toothless bunch I have seen.

I am staggered we have Cheyse for 2 more seasons after this. On recent performances, I would have thought he'd be a good one to ship out. I bet Cheyse is thrilled to be get $$ until end of 2020.

To be fair Cheyse has never played this poorly and is usually a left centre. Doesn't excuse him but he wasn't the only one who was poor.

oh absolutely. I like him, but I can't see him ever getting back to his pre-injury form, sadly.

Cheyse has always had these games in him. It’s why the Roosters let him go, it’s why the Eels told him to get out, it’s why Manly didn’t want to keep him. He’s not the player a lot on here think he is. He’s an ok backup for a couple games against weakened teams but at full strength should be nowhere near top grade
