Aside From playing time, what do you see in May that suggests he is better suited to lock?

Before the season started I would have said I would be satisfied with 13th, given where we have been. But In my opinion we were clearly in the bottom 3 teams given the injury toll that Souths and Dragons have suffered. I think after the recruitment drive we have had, to remain clearly one the 3...

F Freddy plays well as a running forward, never seen Joey used this way but he is probably big enough.

Probably not allowed to do this nowadays but I'd want to sign half a dozen recently retired front rowers to a 6 week train and trial. They then spend 6 weeks taking turns running at Pole. I assume we have a tackling/wrestling coach employed that can make minor adjustments to his technique over...

Chan Kum Tong?

Got the rest of the list mate? I might have a look over them. For the record I didn't like the way the game was reffed. In some of the more contentious decisions (in my view) I could understand why the call was made but didn't necessarily agree with the call. Just looked at these 3. 36.45 May...

Dragons are missing 4 of their best young forwards and 3/4 of their starting outside backs. As well as a few of their next men up. Their remaining fit players from their best 17 include probably the worst halves pairing in the comp, a winger tagged as the worst defender in the comp and an aging...

Bula definitely a keeper and destined for a very good career but not sure he will ever quite be in the top echelon of fullbacks. Otherwise agree with all you've said.

Whilst I agree with everything you said I thought Terrell was poor the entire game yesterday. Perhaps it was workload throughout the season catching up to him but yesterday he was ineffective and lazy long before he started to look gassed.

Yeah. I still believe he is one of our most talented outside backs. He has had a rep as a kid of unwilling to put the work in to improve his game. He has undoubtedly been terrible the past 6 weeks. How much of that is due to alleged injuries and how much is attitude and effort, I don't know. If...

I was thinking Gordan CKT would offer plenty as a 9/13 hybrid

But if his shoulder is all good, how was him playing any different to Munster, Pap or any other out there? The is arguably more reason to play him (assuming the shoulder was good) given he might need half a game to find his rhythm and get some confidence in his shoulder and they can't afford to...

They can't unless the NRL approves it. If it is someone like Trbojevic trying to take a pay cut to help the clubs salary cap they will not approve it. If it is someone looking to get change clubs they usually do. The rule was basically put in place by the rlpa to protect players from getting...

Technically running is a motion that sees the both feet off the ground at the same time. So every second tackle is potentially a mid air tackle. But The rule specifies off a kick. So a player diving in possession the rule does not apply to. A player diving horizontally to catch a ball it does...

Obvious difference is the body position when diving. It's more horizontal than vertical, so contact doesn't result in the flipping motion.

Should be the case but the NRL usually to scared to walk back any rules that were put in place due to player safety. Even if in the opinion of many they have that rule wrong.

I think the tinkering with the rule book has created the problem. Defenders not being allowed to tackle the attacking team in the air is in my opinion the main reason why we are steadily seeing more bombs and likely to see more still. Though there are other contributing factors over the years...

Pretty sure when ever there is an opportunity to do so they do the presentation at the home ground. So, the preference was to award yesterday rather than at Redcliffe.

Isn't this exactly what preseason is?

How so?
