another solid game

both he and Flanno have been excellent this year!
 
NSWRL has not released any charges as yet.

If there are no charges they don't post anything at all. It's a very hit & miss thing
 
Good news for Fifita and the Tigers. I reckon he'll take a liking to the Dogs pack the way they are going at the moment.
 
Does anyone think his brother David can do the same & step up to 1st grade, i've only seen limited time of him playing for bret… but they are twins they have the same body shape to work with... comments
 
David is a little ways off yet.

He may or may not play this week. Was given the dreaded moon boot after the game. Complained about the colour of it and was told he could paint it pink if he wanted but had to change it back when he was done
 
I haven't seen anything of David this year but last year I always figured he would be the first into the top grade. Here's hoping he doesn't see what his brother is doing in the top grade and get itchy feet to do the same himself and look elsewhere for a start.
 
North Queensland lock Luke O'Donnell's minute of madness in the Cowboys' 23-16 loss to the Wests Tigers looks to have cost him at least three weeks on the sidelines.

O'Donnell has been charged by the NRL judiciary with a grade two dangerous contact offence after an ugly tackle on Tigers fullback Beau Ryan which saw his neck twisted.

The tackle prompted a minor melee and the Australian representative was sin-binned just before half-time.

O'Donnell will be out for three weeks if he enters an early guilty plea but risks fours weeks if he decides to challenge it.

It was a fiery night for the 29-year-old who was penalised four times during the game including one incident in which he launched a spray at referee Gavin Badger.
 
plus David is a little more reserved. but the future will tell if David has it or not - but like Tiger Al says he has the same body to work with.
I have spoken to David on a number of occasions and althought twins he is a little different from his brother and i reckon this shows in their playing styles. But the kid is young - the world is at his feet if he wants it.

What is the moon-boot reference Smeg? I am intrigued.

The same thing Galloway was forced to wear last year for a foot injury.

The colour thing is refference to the half pink hair David was sporting on the weekend. It looked like a giant headband made of fairy floss from a distance

needs to step up his fitness , IMO.
Looks overweight & slow on Saturday and doesn't hit the line at speed & deterination like his twin brother….don't expect to threaten first grade this year

Mate saw him play last weekend, he was average and thats being kind. To be fair I dont know if he was returning from injury but he was so far under done it was not funny. Anyway who knows he must have the same genes as his brother but i what I saw, he was over weight, slow and showed next to no passion. As I said this could be a very unfair spray as i know little of his history in 2010, buy gee he was average compared to the likes of Gower and Curran
 
Don't get me the wrong, the young bloke is doing a great job.

But one thing I've noticed with him is that EVERY time he runs onto the field, without fail, he'll give away a penalty the first tackle he makes.

Gee it's frustrating. He's becoming the new Gibbs in that regard.
 
Just to take a positive out of the game today and IMO he has improved out of sight since playing in the NRL the last few weeks. He still has a few initial disciplinary issues when he comes on the first time but i think he can fix this sooner rather than later i think he just tries to make an impact straight away but apart from that going to be a great player this year and in the future will be interesting to see where he fits in with Cayless and Payten once we get back to full strength. i hope he doesnt get dropped because our best pack and bench will be huge if he does stay in the squad
