Re: Papi is back!

We all make an assumption that Paps will come back at the level (mentally and physically) as he left off. Assumimg that all goes well and as per the "Black Dot's" appraisal. The way I would do it would have Paps com back for the last 10 minutes of matches (after QLD cup) and move Meaney to...

Re: Melbourne Storm vs Penrith Panthers - Round 18 - Friday 30/6/23 - Marvel Stadium - 8pm

Never undertsand Wishart's inclusion. Garlick is a better Hooker, Pezet a better half so why Wishart! They should have stuck with an outside back that could cover, Wishart is too small and slow. He was not too blame but against Penrith he was a poor sub to pick. Just as an asside, am I the only one ...

Kane Bradley - What is Bellyache thinking on him

Just watching Bellyache's selection process with Kane Bradley - the guy is 6'6"" (196 cm) and 107lg - be is bigger than Oates and Warbrick. He seems to be blooding him into 1st grade. The way he introduced Remis Smith and Nick Meaney , I think he is destines to be a centre replacement. I h...

Re: RD 16 17th June WestsTigers vs Storm

Have a look at " Sua Faalogo" stats - BRILLIANT attack, terrible defence percentages - needs another year in QCup to bulk up. He will appear probably in the next origin game. I would pick George Jennings over Kane Bradley - his last year and has been making great number is QCup . Alec McDo...

Re: RD 12 - Indigenous Rd @ Dolphins (Suncorp Stadium) Sat 20th May 2023

Before people dump on Xavier, when was the last time Olam passed to him. The two individualas are doing their job, but they are not working togethher - something isn't right. Eisenhuth would always be in my team - he is part of the leadership group and has a cool head. Bellyache would have had his r...

Re: An honest assessment

I think the assessment is fair, but is it based upon attack or defence? I rate Smith quite highly in defence and when a player has been tackled once by Olam they tend to be a bit reluctant the next time. When you have have had 2 backrowers in you defensive line like Kenny and Fuss combinations work ...

Jack Howarth

I have occasionally seen pics of him at the camps - is he still a "thing" or is he going to be given one more year.

I hear big wraps over this kid, and after a couple of games in Q Cup he disappeared.

Any update on him?
