"Hey LB, Even though he played Fullback for the Raiders game, he was terrible and basically his errors led to 4 trys - they were all handling errors too.   Need a good set of hands to be a winger (I Know his preferred postion) so I hope the game -…"

Same here, act like going out,…"

"His versitilty would intrigue Easts more so. They can bring him and decide where to put him. He is a tweener and that is his issue at the moment, we do not know where to put him. As for his defence, he was a decent defender in lower grades. But of…"

"True. At least at fullback, he won't need to make as many tackles in the front line. Also, as the Broncos have Blazing, Reece-lightning speed, he might not miss that many tackles. Hopefully, he kills it (fingers and toes crossed)."

Or maybe he wants out of the club for whatever reasons, despite been given opportunities at NRL…"

"Well not so much since he is not a Fullback, if he is to be a good one it is a year or two away. If he flops at Fullback the next month, Roosters would still grab him to play Centre and train him to play 6 which is the position he has played the…"

Tevita Taumoepenu now at South Sydney

In NSW Cup last week, Tevita Taumoepenu was on the bench for South Sydney. Seems we were able to offload him too. So another spot in the top 30 now available. Just another odd top 30 future signing we made that went horribly wrong. He was nothing more than a bench player who would come on for 20min stints when signed to a development deal in 2023 then upgraded to top 30 in 2024 to keep him. 2023, he would only appear in a handful of games off the bench mid year. Played all year this year in Ron…

Houston In Hindsight: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

  2024 is fast free-falling into an annus horribilis maximus, going from bad to worse now that we will be without Gutherson who joins Moses on the sidelines. That's probably a fair scoop of $2m worth of salary cap. Hence, it’s best we kick off with some of the good stuff. Miraculously, after the round nine we sit 12th: two points outside the eight but also only four points off last-place on a knife's edge.   Below are stats current as of the end of round nine and from Foxsport Stat Lab, which…

Parra Should Swoop On McNamara If Bennett Heads To Souths

Coaching jobs in the NRL don’t get much bigger than South Sydney. Jason Demetriou, sacked this week, knew that and accepted it at every turn, insisting to the last that it was his privilege to come to work at the club every day. Now, with the hot seat open, the Bunnies have to box clever on what they want from the next guy, widely tipped to be a second helping of Wayne Bennett. It is seen as a fait accompli, but that is far from the case. Bennett would have loved to have returned alongside…

NRL admits bunker got it wrong on roosters obstruction call

Graham Annesley has conceded a controversial obstruction call that cost Roosters star Joey Manu a fair try against the Panthers was wrong. The NRL head of football has wasted no time conceding that video referee Chris Butler failed to use the necessary level of discretion in incorrectly deeming that Panthers fullback Dylan Edwards was obstructed from defending the no-try due to a collision with Roosters decoy runner Jared Waerea-Hargreaves. The alleged obstruction from Waerea-Hargreaves on…

Nuclear Power a Balanced View

I previously wrote a blog on the subject of nuclear power.Professor Daz basically took my comments apart and justifiably so as I had nowhere near the knowledge or research capacity to lay a factual basis for the proliferation of nuclear power other than a view I privately held via an economist friend of mineI receive a lot of economic commentary and a newsletter I receive from another economist paints what I believe to be a more balanced view of the discussion. I say this because Daz pointed…
