Kick it behind them, early, and from dummy half so all our chasers are on side

Re: 1st Semi Final vs Roosters @ AAMI Park

Sitting end on, not my usual choice, I noticed different things this week, still not a fan of end on though! My take; 1; What was really noticeable was how the players approach the line with ball in hand. There are two kinds of players, the "To" and the "Through" and unfortunatel...

Re: 1st Semi Final vs Roosters @ AAMI Park

It's alright we've got big game Munster.. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: But seriously, we don't have big nasty forwards / players, we need to play to our (maybe) mobile (maybe) strengths. Can't make big and nasty with what we have, how do we change things? Personally, I can't see us losing this week, it ...

Re: Who is no be kept from the 2023 squad

A fit Paps to 6, Sua to 1, Munster to the stands and figure the rest out. (If you haven't guessed it I'm waaaaaaaaay less enamoured with Munster than others)

No Tepai
No Garlick/Grant rotation

Sticking with Meaney

Second week in a row that we lose a finals game at the selection table?
CB clearly has his favourites....

Re: 1st Semi Final vs Roosters @ AAMI Park

What needs to happen is a thorough understanding of the rules and implications Yes, but we can't influence the refs :( OK, I hear ya, but. Get the ball on the defending goal line and dive to the ground (they're never gunna call an involuntary tackle as much as it infuriates me). When the opposition...

If a player was so hopelessly out of form and they just so happened to be a captain or a marquee player does this mean they are untouchable?

Re: Finals Week 1 vs Broncos - 2nd Qualifying Final - Suncorp Stadium

Sua'ali'i & Manu out next week & no Hargreaves. If we still can’t win that’ll do me. Either way whether we advance or not, we ain’t beating Penrith in Penrith. I love storm, die hard fan but we just don’t have the backs and forwards to match them. Can’t deny but a Penrith vs broncos GF woul...

Re: Finals Week 1 vs Broncos - 2nd Qualifying Final - Suncorp Stadium

It’s a funny thing when you sit and really think about the selections lately, if I told you 12 months ago … - Our back up utility Meaney would be keeping Papenhuyzen on the bench as a middle forward - Young Tonumaipea & Marion Seve would force Reimis Smith & Justin Olam to reserve grade - W...

Re: Finals Week 1 vs Broncos - 2nd Qualifying Final - Suncorp Stadium

As far as the game went, we were bashed with and without the ball. The thing about rugby league, if the forwards aren't going forward the team is going backward, very badly as in last night. The tone was set from the first hit up. (Is there a stat from teams receiving or kicking off that wins more g...

Re: Finals Week 1 vs Broncos - 2nd Qualifying Final - Suncorp Stadium

The news coming out about Paps is looking much more positive. Seems just the smaller bone (fibula) was broken not the tibia (large bone) and there was no compound fracture (skin being pierced) which vastly improves the prognosis and hugely lowers the risk of infection. He has had a plate and 6 scre...

Re: Finals Week 1 vs Broncos - 2nd Qualifying Final - Suncorp Stadium

Half time and very lucky to still be in it.
Can't blame the ref, can only blame lack of intensity.
Unlike others, nothing wrong with T and Seve, at least they bring the ball back with some effort, more so than a left side second rower...
