You must really hate Ivan to write a post like this lol I agree that Nathan is horribly out of form, but I'm sure in the origin arena he will do his job. QLD during their domination of origin didn't care if players were out of form and look where that got them. For years they picked Thurston...

I was chatting with my brothers the other day, and they were laughing their asses off when I said "Ryan Matterson will play origin as a utility player one day". So much to the point that they said I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about and they were willing to take any wager I wanted...

Anyone who is in that Tigers team of 2005 is considered a legend. In 50 years time there will still be stories of Patty Richards receiving a flick pass from Benji, running down the left wing putting a massive fend on Rod Jensen, then having too much speed for Matty Bowen after having 16...

I was going to write a long comment, but it just wont do anything. Absolutely disgusted from this decision.

Agreeing to give a guy a job after he retires playing NRL. Didn't know that was an offence. Why can teams sign players for years in advance and nothing from the NRL is said about it. Fair enough if Robbie is still playing then we give him another job paying that much money, then I would see an...

Is 900k a season a bit steep for Brooks? At the moment, I would have to say yes. BUT Brooks has been on the scene for what feels like a lifetime and he is only 23 (24 in a month) which I think means that he still has a lot of improvement left in him. I think a 4/5 year deal sounds a lot smarter...

I'll say that Mbye is quicker then Brooks. Mbye is lightning fast.

It is killing the game massively. I have loved rugby league for over 20 years and this is an absolute joke which really turns me off watching it. Even though we defended fine with 12 players on the weekend, that 10 minutes defensively took all the energy and momentum completely away from us. We...

A lot of people who were on the Nofa bandwagon look to have quickly jumped off it by the looks of many teams. I would give Nofa another chance even though his defence was abysmal on that wing. Coaches always said to me as a winger - "If the try is scored inside you then its the centres fault...

Right side winger compared to a left side winger. In attack it would be fine, but defensively it's completely different. I'm not a fan of MWZ but right now he would do a better job at left wing then Nof would.

Cleary has to fit Nof in there somehow and I think this is the best way he can do that. Can't say I agree if that is what he's done (because of Tui's goal kicking and X-factor in attack) but I could be wrong.

1\. Lolohea 2\. Thompson 3\. Marsters 4\. Naiqama 5\. MWZ 6\. Marshall 7\. Brooks 8\. Eisenhuth 9\. Liddle 10\. Matulino 11\. Lawrence 12\. Rochow 13\. Taylor 14\. Reynolds 15\. Aloiai 16\. Chee-Kam 17\. Twal I haven't heard too much about these other injury concerns so will be interesting to...

I picked Marshall just because his control and game management so far has been something we have missed for years. In saying that, without the fantastic go forward lead by Packer and Matulino, it would be very hard for our halves and backs to perform how they are. When we signed Thompson, I...

I wouldn't swap Thompson to the left. Rochow, Marshall, Marsters and Thompson look to be communicating and working really well for each other on that right side so I wouldn't change anything. I'm a massive fan of Nofa (as most people on here) but unfortunately he is stuck in reserve grade, the...
