"T.Brown is a beast."
"Chief given where we are at, are you in the market for a top tier prop? "
"Nah, he used to box fat and it doesn't get easier to lose as you get older...Ozempic, not that there's anything wrong with that. Every trainer always tried to pul weight off of Jnr forever, but to no avail. Now? Easy-peasy"
"Agreed, Russell was nearly our best player last week, and was going pretty good by the time the year finished in 2025"
"I mean perhaps, but he can still play some decent minutes in NRL trial too. It's a trial so doesn't matter if he is a risk with his fitness in terms of fatigue errors."
"I think Moretti is still a WIP. Ryles will only put him in first grade if he feels Moretti has done his homework. I have no doubt he will come in soon enough though."
"Boxing Macy. I taught the daughter of Paulo's boxing coach, gave a signed shirt for Xmas for teaching last year haha.
But boxing would have fit as and works on his footwork and discipline."

"Yeah as EA said he's 22. It is very impressive and credit to Ryles and the staff for the work they put in."
"Saw Junior on side line and man he looks so lean and fit! Means business ;)"
"Nailed it EA! Great leg drive!"
"Yes not very often I'd think it after a trial but...lock him up! He and Tuivati are gonna be a great pairing, in fact Tuivati will be attracting a lot of interest too. Only signed him for a short time I think...lock him up too ;)
and Coryn you are…"

"Reserve graders or not, it doesn't really excuse the work rate for 50 minutes. Plenty of those reserve graders were playing for a contract."
"Big motor for a big bloke. It's the same with Tuivaiti, they both seem to keep coming with the ability to play big minutes. They'd both have to be 115kg plus. Not sure who the conditioning coach is but he's doing a good job on these young blokes."
"Almost the strongest side we could have named. Rorters have named a damn strong side so will be a good test for us. "
"Assuming he is coming back from injury the reason to play him in reserves is to build up his match fitness. Will get to play longer minutes in that match."
"Well Joash for sure. Only other question is who will be 19. Either a back like Kelly or Samrani or a forward like Guymer or Tuilagi."

V'Landys on Hello Sport
Happy Monday, if anyone wants a good laugh to start their week, skip to 32:50 mark and listen to this f***wit talk. It is laughable seriously. Claiming the offer of $300k was a great deal and we can put that into our junior system. But said we can…

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.
The guy is a freak, watching him plkay is not like anything you will see in world sport anywhere, he is a different charachter that's for sure but man is he good.
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.
