Stating the obvious

Please God let this be true

Rugby Australia are set to table a 10 million dollar 5 year deal to poach Joseph Suaalli away from Rugby League.

The Roosters worked hard to pinch Suaalii from South Sydney with the 19 year old intended to be the successor of James Tedesco in the comi

If we lose to Melbourne

If we lose to Melbourne, we are guarenteed 6th spot, with the winner of the Roosters v Bunnies game guaranteed to grab 5th spot due to their superior for and against record. 

That also means that, if we lose to Melbourne, we are guaranteed to play the

Two difficult decisions for BA

1. Whether to rest players next week. 2. Whether to play JA in the finals

1. As Mutts has pointed out 4th is a good run this year (win or lose the first finals match) and home games are important. Regardless I think we need to rest players. We cannot

Luca Moretti

Luca Moretti was meant to be a gun coming through the grades. Is he still playing for Parra or injured.

David Langi

Came across this video, anyone know anything about him apparently his 19 plays for Cabra and Parra? Looks like a gun up and coming second rower. Or have I missed something?

Which Team Will Coach Select?

I'm hoping that Brad Arthur will choose the following:

• Gutherson
• Blake
• Opacic
• Penisini
• Sivo
• Brown
• Moses
• Mahoney
• RCG
• Lane
• Niukore
• Papali
• Paulo
• Matterson
• Cartwright
• Kaufusi
• Brown / Rodwell/ Ogden

I think however he will put Jake on the bench in place of another forward.

IF I WAS THE COACH.................

 

I would introduce some variety to what we have done so far this year:

Make an effort to improve the placement of the ball nearer to the goalposts after entering the in goal area to assist the successful conversion and a six point result. In most inst

RCG

I thought he had a really good game, played tough and ran the ball well as he does pretty well every week. A very important player to the team. Is anyone worried about the elbow that Flegler copped from him? I don't believe there is anything in it at
