Niukore is an idiot for doing that. I didn't notice papalii making much of an impact from the bench. Put him back into the backrow where he was a tackle breaking machine. Lane has done jack shit on the edge. He is a middle forward now
"Absolutely, Mitchy. Pay, Dymock, Smith, McCracken—The Big Four—added class and steel. And without the SL war, they don't happen for us. IMO, without Walsh, who saved more tries than he scored, the Broncos probably don't win the 2025 GF."
"This is good for Iongi. May a far more high profile player; portaryed as 'violated', will hog the headlines and the NRL will need to be fair to he and Iongi when assessing any potential NRL sanctions. "
"Agreed, I also think when B Smith had that team in the 98 era (Pay / McCracken / Smith / Dymock) plus some others we had the steel; it was when they left for me that we softened a tad. I was at the minor semi againts Norths at Parra when we belted…"

Yes he was dirty at himself Niukore. Massive loss.
Juniors going to find himself suspended for a shoulder charge.
Agree Snake, no attempt to wrap an arm at all.

You read it right Snakie, unfortunately.
im suprised people are saying he'll be fine, it was a clear shoulder charge imo, will be gone for next week.
