If he can help reduce our avg. penalty count / 6 again calls per game by even 10% then this could have huge impact on our ability to win games. I think this is great idea.

Unfortunately, on paper, we are a bottom 4 team. We all know that we are much better than this, but paper is simply paper. Imagine for a minute you are looking at this purely on results and don't have much inside knowledge of our club: 1 - Our spine is very poor. AD and Liddle are still...

Depends on a number of factors: Current Squad - Liddle 9 - Simpkins Bench Laurie arrives 2021 - Liddle 9 - Mbye Bench McInnes arrives 2021 - McInnes 9 - Liddle Bench Whatever the scenario, I feel that Liddle will eventually be usurped and pushed to 2nd string. Not his fault, great...

Hearing a lot of talk about McInnes coming over? I thought it was just another song and dance to jack up his asking price but it seems he is off Dragons since Mary got the axe. I know we have Liddle and Simpkin, but I would take him in a heartbeat. He's one of those consistent, hard working...

Nofo is a difficult one. Attack wise he is up there with the best wingers in the game. Defensively he still has some issues (plus his height doesn't help), but you could argue he hasn't had the best defensive combinations with his centre partner. Wingers are pretty severely undervalued in the...

While i think Brooks has been pretty ordinary playing under Madge. He really did show a lot of promise in 2018 when he won halfback of the year. I don't think the award was completely deserved, but he was easily top 5 halfback that year. I praying to every football god that Brooks finds this form

Love the chart, does put things into perspective. My only criticism is that the chart is leaning heavily on the optimistic scale and assuming that a lot of players will perform better than 2020, and that no players will regress. E.g. I wouldn't be surprised if Nofo regresses a bit in 2021. Not...

Is Madden a halfback or 5/8? I don't see AD being able to play halfback as he is more a running 5/8. I agree with the sentiment that it really is last chance for Brooks in 2021. I know he has a few more years on his contract but all it would take is signing a better halfback to replace him then...

Hi everyone, longgggggg time reader, first time poster (finally created an account). I'm wondering what everyone thinks Madge's plans for our halves pairing will be for 2022 and beyond? It's pretty clear Brooks and Doueihi will get first crack in 2021, but further than that I haven't seen...
