Billy McConnochie and Rockin Roddy Griffin back before them…
Strange watching him last night - he looked lost and just seemed to be following the ball around, getting in the way and not really getting any touches worth mentioning…
Didn't Jock push to leave? Wakeham and him are much of a muchness. We are in the same position we would have been had we resigned jock but he would have been on a dearer contract than wakeham.
This signing is for backline flexibility for the Magpies.
An unhappy night -looked out of his depth. Latrell and Walker really targeted him. To be fair South's dominated them all over the park once they got the ascendancy. They are in fine form.
I can’t see him getting another run with the Broncos.
Three blow out games so far where all the halves from the three teams that were dominated were ineffective - some with far more experience than him. He may not get another opportunity due to better players in front of him but it was never going to be a game he could shine in once South's took control.
Tommy Talau could be the same at Blacktown.
Jock is a poor first grader. He was let go because of that reason. He has some good skills, e.g. he can kick okay, can throw a pass if it's on, has a bit of size to him, but he lacks in just about every other area you need to play first grade. He fades in and out of games which is the opposite of what a half needs to do (they should be involved in almost every play, even if that means they are setting up a play 2 or 3 plays in advance - see Munster).
My gut feeling is Tommy Talau will come good and will likely reach his potential at NRL level if he can remain relatively injury free.
Maybe you just hit the nail on the head,
I agree.
Pretty shitty I thought.
This may or may not be the case.
I also thought Garner would do really well at Panthers, but so far that has not gone well. He actually copped what I thought were some pretty scathing comments from Cleary Snr. and I thought they were a bit on the harsh side.
Did you watch the Newcastle game or just look at the score line? you would’ve seen Hastings set up the first try with a nice grubber & had a big hand in the second one. Hastings was a standout in a beaten team, Knights got flogged because Ponga can’t tackle to save his life.
Imagine if knights ended up with Brooks instead of Hastings.
The NRL could not find their arse with both hands. Every club ever caught for salary cap infractions has been dobbed in by a club insider, or in our case we published the Farah offer in the Sunday paper
