Bateman gone. Cowboys.

Good. I don't want him on the bus!

Not sure if this was mentioned in the commentary as I was watching on my phone without sound, but I managed to snap this: 

Woods should be frogmarched out of the joint. Disgraceful form from our captain. How he can wear a WT polo on NRL360 every week is beyond me.

I just edited my last post with a correction. The linked post was actually a year and a half before his sacking at Souths. Let's all remember this is one person's unsubstantiated opinion - pretty damning if true though!

Gee whiz, stumbled across this archived LU forum post from the time of Taylor's sacking at Souths. [CORRECTION: this post is from May 2008\. The mad Monday incident was Sept. 2009]. The allegations - I stress allegations - in the opening post suggesting Taylor getting his coach(es) sacked, his...

Anasta will be lock. Benji back in the halves.

Big T is braining it in state cup and is just a massive human being - he could literally eat Utai and still have room for dessert. Nofo has been biding his time and thoroughly deserves his shot though.

It's not a very fair thing to say given his circumstances, but gee I hope he's fit … could very well turn out to be Jason Cayless Mark II. The Parra medical staff skimped and butchered his knee - that's why he had such extended periods on the sideline.

Do you mean the Foundation Cup post match presser - or has there been one since? I've never heard Potter specifically suggest putting Tedesco on the wing (only that his versatility could mean he'll play another position).

I wouldn't mind seeing a speedier right edge combo trialled in Moltzen / Tuqiri. Think this would work with Teddy at the back and Utai (or Ayshford) as a sub. The heat has clearly gotten to me.

Pokies…

I've no idea if the rumours circulating about WT's financials (or lack thereof) have any merit, but if we can only afford to offer our new coach around $250k then we're lucky he'll have any assistants at all. By comparison, the Bulldogs have 4 assistant coaches and Jim Dymock is on a staggering...

The coaching staff don't rate Miller. He's naturally talented but apparently struggles with structure and sticking to a game plan. I think they're happy for him to trundle away in the 20's to see if he comes good, but don't bet on it…

All this talk of getting a #7 is immaterial as Sheens will play Anasta in the 6 and sees him as the perfect foil for Benji - solid kicking game, strong defensively and a cool head under pressure.

Don't be surprised to see him in the centres next year.

The word circulating in press circles is that Sheens is still pushing for Mason, and that the playing group are keen for him. I believe this has been alluded to earlier but the board (or some of them) are against it, and it's certainly not Humphreys blocking the move.

Correct, but it'll never go to print.

No one in the game loves an 'off the record' chat more than Sheensy.

Sheens promised Farah a few times that he'd be playing in one of the earlier games (against England I think), only to backflip on it just before kick off. A number of players were in doubt, as was the case most of the tour, so the final team was a bit up in the air. (Edit: Apparently) Robbie...
