Why are people talking about singing a halve i thought we had 6/7 who could play in that position hence why we are letting Benji go.
So as far as I am concerned that’s one of the last positions we need to fill,after all it’s about balancing our squad isn’t it

We have many 6/7 that can play in that position - how many of them are worth a bean.

It’s like using public transport instead of buying a Ferrari. Think I’ll take the Ferrari myself.

Enjoy the public transport Goanna57.

Nothing wrong with public transport Russell it’s a lot cheaper and quite reliable,besides it keeps me employed.Remember it’s all about the balance of the squad so we don’t need another halve got any number can play there

I understand - but none of them play it well enough that is why we need a play maker.

Russ,I think that with Benji gone and JREY still with us next year maybe Madge has identified that Brooks plays better and is more comfortable with JR in the halves with him…
They both combined have a better win rate than LB and Benji this year…
Its just a thought because maybe JR could be a good player for us next year with more responsibility now Benji wont be there and Madges coaching could make the pair a good halves combination…I know there are many on here that dont like JR as a player but maybe next year could be a good year for him and us…who really knows what Madge has up his sleeve…

If Madge thought Reynolds was a better match for Brooks wouldn’t he have played Reynolds this year instead of Marshall?

I think that Madge played Marshall because of his attacking style and being a 6/7 could change the attack we had…Dont forget that Madge dropped Benji for his defense deficiencies and he put JR in which were some of the games we did win when Benji was on the bench…

I dont know what Madge has in his plans for next year and JR could be on the bench or out of the squad…I just dont think Madge wants to keep chopping and changing the combinations to much eg Mbye centre,fullback.or 5/8…I think Madge is looking for a stable competant halves combination next year ,who that will be anybody knows…

I think he played Benji there because he’s a better player. I don’t see Reynolds in Madge’s plans at all.

That’s pretty obvious as a member here who is close to his family constantly parrots that the players don’t like him. Can easily interpret that as Reynolds and Madge not seeing eye to eye.

Man, this is still the greatest album of all time:

It’s weird I always said Vulgar is their best ever but I think I’m starting to lean more to Far Beyond Driven.
I can’t decide between Death and Black Metal
Favourite Black metal album??

I don’t know, it’s a split between Vulgar and Cowboys for mine.

To further our history of signing ageing stars hahahahaha

Well if you run off Renouf often enough, you’re going to score tries.

Could throw the willow in an era of top line bowlers.

Changed the way ODI batsmen played.

RIP Deano.

Would think Qantas ending their sponsorship might have more to do with COVID than anything else.

Living away from home for employment for significant periods does wonders for anyone with predispositions to mental illness, or even those who don’t.

Seclusion, coping mechanisms in substance abuse, working and living with the same people (some of which you can’t stand,) 24/7, erosion and loss of relationships/friendships.

Just because they get paid well, doesn’t render them immune from these problems.

Would be a terrible shame if anything were to derail Voldemort’s season. Especially a week out from the finals.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer coach.

Good chance it’s rubbish, just like the Seibold rumours if they are going to these lengths.

Well based on last season, there’s form for the Panthers.

Got everything to play for this weekend. Got to take that coveted 9th spot.

Handover for kicks into touch rather than a scrum.

This is an interesting one. Means a team can’t kick it into touch to give your team a rest. Not sure what I think of that.

PVL is obsessed with having literally no stoppages in the game. There has to be something to give the players a break he’s going stupidly over the top with it.

He wants to create attrition.

Easiest way to do that are go back to reserves.
