Kurt Falls back at Manly,
Going off the team lists for the trials.

Kurt Falls back at Penrith

Interestingly he’s still listed on the Norths site as lining up with the Bears this season.

Makes me wonder whether Jack Cogger has picked up an injury, given he returned to Penrith as back up half 🤔



But speaking of Manly their trial side has a number of former Wests players - Large, Willet, Feledy ...

I agree this is an often overlooked but extremely important component of us improving this year. If Douhie consistently kicks it 10m longer on average than everyone else (which he does) it is huge in terms of flipping the battle for field position.

Also, his goal kicking. WT aren't overly endowed with players that can reliably kick goals.

The exact reason Matt Burton is so important for Canterbury, so many times he lands his clearing kicks from his own half 10 metres out from the try line with plenty of hang time giving his team the momentum is unbelievable.

Spot on.
The draft is just a way for the crap clubs to get players they probably dont deserve.

That’s a good way to put it. Eventually the crap clubs have cap space to be able to out bid for a marquee signing.

Ive also been told the same thing. He can play under Wayne for 2 yrs and then go earn the big bucks with new Rugby competition

Whoever told you that may be the last person on the planet who thinks Rugby 360 is ever going to happen.

Yeah like his FG career is 7 goals in 3 matches 4 years ago and there's probably a few reasons why Penrith released him after that

Sorry, dont know what happened. My response was to a post mentioning Doueihi's long kicking. The other post attached to it with Will Craig was something I responded to earlier. No idea what is up with my pc at moment.

I don’t want my state importing and paying to house QLD crims.

Don't those Queensland scum still owe us a motza for all the COVID hotel accommodation bills that were run up by their disease infested citizens.

Doesn’t Heyward kick as well ? I’m really interested how Tavana goes on the wing on Saturday . He did some freakish things last year .
