"Bell is a gun. We need to resign D Walker for another 2 years so till the end of 2028. So 2029, Bell will be 20 years old. Good chance he will be pressing for the 14 spot to take Walker's spot. He can cover 9 well too."
"Daz,
Absolutely agree, & there is a real lack of evidence here.

"Longfin, what you say is mostly true, may I suggest they can all go Except for. Moses, Iongi,Addo Carr, Hopgood, Williams, Paulo " on reduced contract". An argument could be made for bench spots with Smith and Walker maybe.

"Right, so Perth sign Russell and Twidle and we are seen as idiots. But Perth not only have money but are offering more years too. Russell got 4 years and Twidle got 3. Now how can anyone in their right mind match that. Why aren't the top teams…"
"The only Centres that could comfortably garner $650k would be Crichton, Staggs and Herbie."
"IF....IF we retain Mr Tuivati.
Don't hold your breath with this mob Mace."

"What if Russell wanted to test the market? We cannot force him to sign. Mutts you used to be really good on this site. Now you are just being insufferable."
"Chief, maybe just maybe Russell and his management saw that Perth are coming into the market and wanted to test the market? It goes both ways. Yes we want to sign a player but they need to want to sign as well. As soon as the deal of $650k comes up…"
"Did we let him walk or was it didn't want to match the money he had received. Tell me this now, would Russell receive $650k from any of the other 15 clubs in the market? The only Centre's who fit that value are Crichton, Farnworth and Staggs.

"Poupou, can you explain how Dylan Brown in early 2025 was "off contract"?
Brown had a contract with the Eels until end of 2031, with I believe two player options. The first permitting him to leave at end of 2025 IF he notified the club by Round 10…"

"It's a blog about the guy that is leaving but why not a blog about the guy that is staying? Good luck to Apa T, he looks promising and his first grade debut was fantastic warm fuzzies and all. But while Lorenzo T is not Olsen Filipaina in size, one…"
"How good is Bell ? Sounds like Ray price mak2"
"Well, Lorenzo T is not Olsen Filipaina, but if you watch his highlights, there is one thing that stands out. And it is NOT just the speed and evasiveness of his running game. It is how late into the line he digs in his passing game. Which I believe…"

There is no doubt he is a phenomenon. Averages 64, which is second only to the Don. And the most unusual thing about him is the way he bats, which defies modern techniques.
Here is an interesting bit of trivia for you. He has now scored 6 ashes hundreds in England. No England player has ever scored that many in England.
When you take out the first dozen or so tests when he was actually selected as a bowler his average is in the 80 plus area.
Who is he?
LOL
He's definately special. Teams just can't find a way to get him out.
His technique is not in the cricketing books. Neither was Bradman's though.
Watched his whole innings last night/early this morning and his technique and mental fortitude is right outside of the ordinary. Nothing flamboyant about him, just goes on with his business and rarely faiis.
He came into this season having miseed the first 7 months due to suspension and in a few months became the number 1 scoring batsman in the world of test cricket.
FMD, a 7 months handicap given to all test cricketers and he is now starting to blow them all out of the water, and all this after being terribly knocked out in the 2nd test and not playing in the 3rd test.
FMD. Just wow, wow, wow, wowwwwwwwwww.
Exactly Snake. I think Smith is the best batsman we've had since Bradman. Bats outside the box. So skilled, yet eccentric and unothodox.
Didn't expect it when I first saw him play. Looked awkward at first.
I must admit I was a huge fan of the Great West Indian top 3. Greenidge, Hayne, and Viv.
Viv Richards is one of my all time favourite batsman. He was the gum-chewing King Of The Jungle. Never even wore a helmet. Oozed confidence, skill and domination.
No idea who he is , but if he wears New Balance he better stay the fuck away from my kids .
Weak lilly livered piece of SHIT! and now we call him a hero.
No wonder this country is fuct.
There for his own glory and pay packet.
Bit like the NRL putting the wife bashers up as the game's heroes.
