Yeah, that's the problem with Hunt: Great player with the ball and momentum but if we're on the back foot you need to get him off the field immediately because his movement around the ruck is sloppy and slow. That said, he brings something our team doesn't have in really strong running but I'm...

Really liked our physicality again. Just about every tackle we hit them and pushed them back. Sione fainu, Samuela, Latu, the mays all love hitting. Sione was at one stage defending our line was laughing at Canberra and hitting hard, I love that confidence and intimidation. In years passed...

Whyte is one of the best props in the game at the moment. Roosters must be one of the most inconsistent teams in history. Potentially the best and worst team in the comp. Last night they were both...although that's a bit of hyperbole because they weren't that bad in the 1st half. But that 2nd...

He had a similar run after his first origin with us, but I think he's back to plodding now. He had a simple tackle on Tupou with Tupou bringing it out from his own goalline with little space to wind up and he gets pushed off the tackle and Tupou got an offload off and the roosters go down field...

I find it incredible watching Stefano at Melbourne...yes he occasionally has some good runs but he's such a passive and below average tackler and he still has so much stupid in his game. So I don't really understand what Bellamy likes about him, and obviously it's hard to doubt Bellamy's...

Asu kepaoa still can't make the Penrith team.

At the budget end, I'm disappointed there's such a huge gap between the family general admission and Bronze family membership. With a family it makes a big difference being able to have set seats but the jump from $795 to the bronze family membership at $1255 means that's not possible for me...

Nah, just a decent team and some local engagement. Anyway, Campbelltown gets good crowds considering our long period of mediocrity. It's a great stadium to watch rugby league in.

Campbelltown should be our priority. I love Leichhardt and am a fan of rugby league and the tigers because of it, but we need future generations of footy fans at the games to really solidify their allegiance, and that is absolutely at Campbelltown. People talking about our record at Campbelltown...

Can you post a link? I don't think it's rent free. We paid a fair bit for him and probably still paying a fair chunk for him to moan and complain. Watching him from behind the goal posts he badgers his team a lot. More the barking at the young wingers than helping organise. Does a lot more...

Deardan, Robsonnanai, cotter are current state of origin players. Drinkwater, purdue also highly regarded. I still rate taumalolo and McLean and they are big time rep players of the past. That's a lot of rep talent. Our current origin players: 1 fill in player.

This cowboys team is a star studded team, it's a shame they turned up to play today. Taumalolo and McLean were the key for me. They got the cows on the front foot early and ran over us at the end to get Drinkwater space and time. We definitely stuffed up but there was a lot of really good play...

Galvin passes the ball to one of his teammates without stuffing it up...commentators go wild with praise.

He's really no better as a 5/8 than he was as a halfback. I don't really agree. I think he's a below average half wherever you play him. The problem with him at 5/8 is that he stifles backline movements when the ball has gone wide with always taking the wrong option. He gets more chances to run...

Which one is that?

I really liked the Adel podcasts. Don't have patience for the others, with the call ins and the general chats and bloated banter (sorry noble podcasters!) but I thought rob and Adel had good amount of analysis without fluff. Is there anyone else doing a to the point analysis of games?

Watching the end of nrlw yesterday and Noddy seemed really passive in the crucial last minutes and a bit awkwardly jokey with the players in a David Brent sort of way. North sure if he's any good as a coach but just didn't strike as highly engaged.

Doueihi > Galvin Better kicking, organising, speed, tackling, heart.

I commented on this in the live thread. Yes, too much. But he is just knocking opposition down and doing what he likes. He was so dominant today. I want him to just run straight more often but he's just not that sort of player and as long as he's knocking people about he's having a really...

Thoughts from the game... We looked dominant after that first try. Real physical, three players in the tackle. The may and fainu brothers are so good because they're so physical. It makes such a difference. Terrell May probably circles around and passed too much but he is fantastic. He was so...
