Joey Walsh

Why do they keep doing it ? Because most halfbacks coming through aren’t near nrl quality , so teaching an athletic specimen how to use their head seems to be path with the most chance of success . Think about it . All the hundred of thousands of 17-22 year olds who came through the ranks in the...

What are you basing that on . Because I’m basing my info on what’s been stated by Fonua and his brother , and other tidbits and info you hear around the traps .

It’s far more likely his brother will join him here if that’s what you’re getting at .

Solo is 3 years older , and literally kisses as many tackles as he makes . And that efficiency stat doesn’t take into account being caught in no mans land . I’ve said this before but I’m almost certain at least 70% of our fanbase only ever watch when we have the ball . The only things they...

No he didn’t . Every kick went 30 metres which meant they were recieivjng the ball on thier twenty and starting their sets on the 30m . 99% of teams not off their game would put a score on us .

Saukuru needs to work on his defence man. So much arm grabbing . I know that’s on Sukkar for not closing from inside as well , but he had a fair chance at that .

Maddens lack of power in kicking is a massive deterrent for me at nrl level . He simply cannot drop the ball in the box , not just consistently but at all . He doesn’t have the leg strength .

I genuinely think Andruws and Latu as a unit , especially with Andruws ability to get the ball to his edges will lead to way more points . No hero ball. Just passes at the ad line with guys hitting at speed . Luai’s gooses step to no one , just kills the attacking momentum . Run at speed ...

Only 3m forward

Yep , I agree . I’m just stating the logic . All our guys should have early surgery to best give the chance to hit the ground running . But I do get it . Benji needs to win footy games

The dudes busted . Can’t get his arms to raise past 90% , which means half chances, offloads , elaborate dummies, offloads whilst falling through contact, fends into flick passes with ball changing hands etc. are all off the menu . At the moment until he gets his shoulder repaired , he offers...

He’s a roosters junior man . The dogs plucked him from their flegg team

I’m saying it’s not much difference . An 800k player today will be worth 1.2mil by 2032, probably by 2029 . So all this talk of hes not worth 1.2nil , I mean it’s all relative right . If you’re not paying your starting halves 2mil combined , which we won’t be , then that money can be spent...

It already is 12 mil . It will grow to 15 in 28 , with 21 by the end of the new tv deal and 20 teams , 5 year deal I believe . So with pretty much a 200% cap jump by the end of the tv deal , you can expect most big average second rowers to be be on close to 800k , with elite being well into the...

Yep . Sandercock is an interesting one . When he was here first time , he was the poster child for Madge just picking his mates . Then Madge had to move him on . Now 4 years in he’s here again with the same narrative around the head coach .

One thing I’ve heard , which improbably shouldn’t repeat is he’s a massive dickhead . Not well liked by many in the shire . But as most things are , that’s probably very relative to who’s doing the talking . Just a little anecdote I’d heard .

Morris is leaving to the dragons . That’s already happening as far as I know. Probably doesn’t want to drive through Sydney every day , rather than straight down the princes highway . I think he lives at Yowie Bay … (with the rest of the nrl). I think Hodgo is gone as well . I dunno who for...

You don’t know if any of that is true though . You don’t fire your staff until mad Monday . Thats what made the Ben teo thing so egregious. It never happens . And he quit . Imagine if he was sacked . Benji will have 1 more offseason that’s a given . It’s up to him really . Keep banging your...

I genuinely think the issue is his assistants . The style of attack is too meh , and the defence system seems to go in one ear out the other . We definitely need some new voices in the locker room . I’m not a Benji fanboy at all, I just really don’t think flipping the whole club on its head...
