Bon Jovi. Well said.It’s now the dawn of a new era, keep the faith.
Knew a Kiwi that played high level union.Racism would be the only reason I could think of. Might be a private school thing...
Not as hopeless as the incumbents. I would term him as a journeyman and would like him back.Momo is hopeless.
Thank God for Benji.Knew a Kiwi that played high level union.
Thought he was OK until he told me NZ nion will never have a non-white in the halves because they aren't intelligent enough. His words - not theirs.
Needless to say I never met him again.
Great post. I think we can really evolve the culture of our forum when 2 different points of view don't result in a slanging match that goes on for pages.We will agree to disagree on Townsend ,,, he would be a terrible buy IMO
Baddabing Baddaboom! The Fat Lady has Sung!Great post. I think we can really evolve the culture of our forum when 2 different points of view don't result in a slanging match that goes on for pages.
I propose the promotion of A2DA - Agree to Disagree.
....and don't ever take posts personally, quickly formulated messages can easily be misunderstood.

So no problem calling a team the 'Jihadists' then for responding to invasion? I prefer to stick to Animals and Birds for team names... Although Magpies can be quite aggressive and territorial.If their first wasn't an invasion into Europe there never would have been a crusade. It's was a retaliatory defensive war. The crusades were launched after the caliphate had conquered Spain then made their way through France before being turned back. Then the European armies made their way into the middle east. Nothing racist about it. I doubt if China invaded you would just hand your home over to them.
Call the team whatever you want if people are that sensitive then I'd suggest the problem is with them not the name of some team. It's a word who cares.So no problem calling a team the 'Jihadists' then for responding to invasion? I prefer to stick to Animals and Birds for team names...

Any idea what we see him as is it as a starting half or purely for depth.No, they said Tigers still front runners but he was meeting Newcastle today.
Simpkin and Reece Hoffman both were touted by the club as top shelf young gun signings….I don't really recall that... Or maybe I took no notice of it... But the last part of your post is spot on
Is there any mapping or other info which shows where on the field the tackle set that resulted in a try started?This is simply factually incorrect.
First photo below shows a fairly obvious trend that the further down the field you play the ball the more likely you are to score a point. In the NRL between 2016-2021 teams scored 0.3 points per play the ball inside the 10m line compared to 0.04 points per play the ball in midfield. Only when you get inside the 20m can you expect to score 0.1 or more points per play the ball and it exponentially increase from their. You are 700% more likely to produce a point from 10m out to 50m out. Teams do not score more from midfield breaks, fact.
2nd graph shows a heat map of play the balls resulting in tries form 2016-2021 where green is high and red is low. The map shows the significantly largest proportion of tries are scored in the 20m line and an even larger majority 10m out and usually middle of the field.
Field position is king. We have field position but we have below average backs unable to meet NRL standards in point production. Imo we have two decent prospects in Bula and Tupou and literally no one else is NRL standard in our backline. I genuinely don't think we have had a NRL standard half or centre in half a decade.
I really wish we lived in a world in which people would consider their positions before sprouting off opinions and calling them facts. This forum can be the Dunning-Kruger effect in full flight most of the time.
And their wallets.Is there any mapping or other info which shows where on the field the tackle set that resulted in a try started?
I'd be curious to see how many play the balls in the "red" zone we're as a result of a series of line breaks as opposed to a gain from a penalty kick or change of possession.
The information you have provided above provides even more context to last weeks game where twice Souths were gifted field position for Lauries "flops" and we were denied twice for shoulder charges while coming off our own line. It may appear slightly inconsequential at the time but calls like those have a massive impact on results.
As I said Y, there were exceptions.Wayne Bennett made a Kangaroo's tour. Jack Gibson played for NSW.
I totally agree. I wasn’t happy when we signed him but he gives 100% every game. And has speed. Must be keptHope Staines stays long term.
He's a guy that I didn't think very highly of before he played here, but I've really been impressed with him in the limited games that he's been available.
Usually happens the other way around with our recruits.

Given this is in the signing suggestions and rumours discussion, who are they recruiting? Are any of our players going there?So no problem calling a team the 'Jihadists' then for responding to invasion? I prefer to stick to Animals and Birds for team names...
