Tommy Talau again hahaha 🤣😳

 

[Demps]

Best we could do, I guess.

 

[Tom Shines]

Can’t believe they dropped AJ

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Naden injured his shoulder again in NSW Cup last week I believe

 

[hsvjones]

Oh Dear we have Kasey Badger as video ref.. Looking forward to another bad call/s for us..
Must have something against us.

Glad AJ Dropped but would of loves Stains instead of Nofo

Naden is rubbish, same old shit with him

 

[Stevec]

I think its the best we could do with what we've got to work with
2 obvious changes Nofo and Laurie in for Kepoa and Smith
Let Benji fire them up and Scott and Justin keep out of their ears

 

[Stevec]

Can’t believe they dropped AJ

Very funny

 

[boonboon]

Best sqaud we could name at the moment. Wouldn't be surprised if we see Tupou get a rest when Staines come back.

 

[Todd Packer]

Praise the lord and everything holy SIMPKIN IS FINALLY GONE!!!

Let's see some football!

Probably but whilst it sorted AJ and Smith out it doesn’t address the Wakeham issue, thought they might have been a bit more adventurous ie Api/ Laurie in the halves.

Understand your point but not many options
Weve got one half who has a reasonable kicking game and is a very good goal kicker but is slow
The other half is fast but rarely ever played half
Better than last week with both slow

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Naden is rubbish, same old shit with him

Can’t believe it’s taken this long for people to see how bad he is. He isn’t NRL quality and he is coming to the backend of his career now do improvement just won’t happen.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Whoever started that thread Our Grand Final week was onto something. It surely is.

 

[tig_prmz]

Good to see Kepaoa dropped. Lack of effort consistently is a very worrying sign.

Anyone else like the look of Will Smith at 5/8?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Didn't see the team. Cannot single out one player. Its a team effort. Kepaoa or no Kepaoa. That's the dilemma

 

[twentyforty]

Tommy Talau again hahaha 🤣😳

Would a player have a contract clause stating a specified amount of game time to match a level of payment?

 

[Robbie's Love Child]

Great to see Blore at 13, positive move. Just watched the interview with him, great young guy and real positive about the coaching, got to keep him.
