"lol HOE "extra $15.7 million went"....actually I havent been watching Dylan closely but he is not setting the world on fire just doing the Dylbags usual solid good defence ....but is that worth 1.3 M maybe it is dont know "
"Metcalf is a 7 he will not come to us to play 6. I also worry about his durability and prone to injury ....Id have to say pass. I actually think volkman and Joash can do a job until Lorenzo is able or up to it ."
"Harrison will be 14 . Pezet maybe in the 19 as cover or Reggies. I don't think Jr will change a winning team."

They had a higher average set distance, however with better completion, Eels actually topped them in total run meters
Yeah but the Cowboy metres, while Taumololo and Mikaele gained metres, it was all their slippery players like Purdue, Dearden and Drinkwater that made the metres for them by evading tackles etc...
But I agree about the other forwards dominating us in those other games, which creates space behind the ruck for the fast 9s and 1s to run into.
Coryn, we scrapped against the Cows and hung in there; we also made less errors from memory and this is key; all the wins we had came from less errors. Hang in there; less errors....
💯 but we've tucked the ball away while doing so.
Thats actually smart with the injuries we have hanging in sometimes will steal you a game or 3 and that's exactly what it did against the Cows.
Melbourne this week if someone isn't on Harry Grant this week there needs to be an inquiry but you can bet Melbourne are coming right down the hey diddle diddle.
We played above our weight IMO - and we hung in there; Moses also kicked for more yards than they did - this also created fatigue combined with the less errors; just look at our spine compared to them; our guys did v well and Volk and Pap both had good games for me; there is also something in it that when we have Russell and Samrani - two big centres, we do better; just my view.
I go back to some games like Wests / Manly and Warriors - all winnable games yet we did not get there; we get one of them or so and things look different and with the injuries we have.
JR is using the younger ones better for me - he seems to have invested in them and in time it can pay off if we have the right balance with experience.
I personally feel Moses' time in a year or so will dictate how things go as he seems to be getting banged up a lot more....
We beat the Cows because they made a massive error keeping Dearden on playing on one leg and we had the smarts (for once) to exploit that ...
They'd used all their interchanges when dearden got injured. So they had the choice of leaving him out there or playing with 12. I think they would have got him off if they could
He went off as soon as golden point started as they were given 2 more interchanges. It was unfortunate but also partly of their own making due to Payten burning through all their changes by the 72nd minute. Most coaches will keep a final change up their sleeve.
We've won every game we completed at over 80% this year. And while the Cowboys set completions were only 71% against us, we have actually completed far worse twice this year (63% and 64%) and both times we conceded 50.
What I don't get is no one but no one is criticising JR for a style of play that the last coach was ostracised for.Not only is he getting a pass here we have the worst defense in the comp leaking at an nrl record type rate,we also don't have the players to play that way but we are still a well coached side I've red on here.
Now think about that for minute I did have to have a quite chuckle to myself about that one.
