"I think it's quiet clear that eels don't think Volkman is the long term 6 so he probably wants that role in the super league. Fletcher will be the halfback in nsw cup next year. So will need a back up 6 next year and hopefully experienced."
"Adam I know you're being intentionally obtuse. Galvin is being played out of position. That is why he isn't playing well.
We were intending to play Galvin in position. Where by all historical data he is extremely talented.

"Either way, he never got to develop with us. I think he'd be perfect for Moses at the moment. Moses came back to us as a 5/8, and developed into a halfback. I classify Moses as a running halfback. I still think with his running game and speed, he'd…"
"Yeah, I was aware of his age. The age of footballers has had less of an impact than say 30 years ago. Players left to get real jobs back then. Being in a professional environment has definitely increased the retirement age. Halfbacks are definitely…"

Lot of luck involved in an nrl season.
Just looking at the ladder and recent results, bulldogs raiders both had strong seasons last year and now look horrible and languishing at the bottom of the table. Yes recruitment and coaching is imporant but you also need a hell of a lot of luck…

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.
