"I think Tui had more of an impact than Doorey did. And is the prop that MUST be on the bench every game. And if Tualagi can do that against the Broncos, he can do it against the Dragons. I'd be keeping him in at edge, or at least the bench. The…"
"There's your mistake, your right there Eli. "Build the squad he wants".
That cant happen if the squad he wants can't be signed by R&R.
How does that get rectified.
Interesting.

"Best winger I've ever seen."
"I'd put my money on Radradra for sure. He had an uncanny ability to score from anywhere, and our team would have been one of the worst around him."
"It's a bit like the criticism of Mark O'Neill, hard to fathom"
"Semi, best winger to ever play the game."
"Jack de Belin had same result as Hayne in the end of charges dropped, yet he's fine?"
"Both Semi and Sivo would have given it a run."
"The two tries Iongi scored on that edge were also the result of defenders turning in to stop Kelma. This creates space for the wider players
If Kelma is dropped i will find it mind boggling
He needs to fix his defence so let's see what happens…"

"Some of Williams' best games last season were on the left edge. Kautoga to bench or NSW cup until he performs consistently week in, week out. "
"It was only the most petulant ones."
"Because they are not the sharpest tools in the shed."
"Agreed. I won't renew him no matter how well he plays. He was still sketchy yesterday. He is a good impact bench player against tired edges and Moses slipping him balls. "
"Hmmm. The only in would be Moretti for me. Maybe. I'd let him maybe have more time in reggies first. I'd keep Guymer.
So basically, same team. Yes even De Belin. I want De Belin to be in the team first few rounds then things will change IMO. Him…"

"The only change we need to make is Hopgood back to 13 and JDB to 18 man. Not sure why he needs a spot in the squad as he is only practically here for 1 year and really provides nothing more than what Hopgood or Doorey can do for 25min. Walker has…"
"Brisbane's play the ball speed was quicker, but later on we got control of the ruck, poking our nose through and getting on our elbows for quick play the balls, Brisbane were out on their feet. Tawha was having a tough time keeping up and Mam…"

Why did fans want Ryles head after 1 game ?
Just a general question, not sure why a heap of fans wanted Ryles gone after Rd 1 ? He's shown last season that he's capable of turning the team around and is still trying to build the squad he wants lol. Was just weird to see fans bagging him 🤣

Radradra, Hayne or Sivo - Most NRL Tries
I reckon if Semi, Haynes or Sivo had persisted in the NRL we might be talking about them breaking the NRL try scoring record. I think Semi and Hayne were close to 1 try per game average over 100 games? Thoughts?

This man "THE CROW" is my all time fav EEL. When I played rep league as a youngster I tried to mould my gam and goal kicking around him
Very classy player and man 👏🏻👏🏻👊😎
Theres the carlo kiss of death right there.
Mick, please be safe in the next few days/weeks.
😆😆😆 far out lol
Bit overrated though, wouldnt want him kicking a goal to save your life.
Wouldnt want him coaching to save your life either
i was just throwing out a few crumbs HKF, looking for a nibble
Nice one Garry, good to see you got out ok, rumoured to be a few bodies buried under the Gerringong.
Your opionion mate. To be honest It was mentioned by the rep coach back in 84 when I played school rep footy that I played a bit similar to the crow. My all time fav and always will be
There is a reason he is the first "Champion" of Parramatta. Played in all of our Grand Final wins. One of the all time greats and worthy of Immortal status. I laugh at anyone who knocks him as a goal kicker. He held the all time ARL/NRL point scoring record for years kicking leather balls from sand mounds. More importantly, a champion human being. Great photo Garry.
Also needs to be remembered he didn't start playing NSWRL until he was 26 so his total points scored could have been higher if he started earlier.
