"He can find the try line but also he's carried out of the half have been really good. Consistently makes 200+m with other 10+ per run and his pcm are similar to to'o this year. Be a great signing "
"He has only played Centre and Wing in Cup and NRL. Not sure where the talk of him playing 1 & 6 came from but he hasn't played either in open age footy."
"$500k is overs but I can tolerate it for Jenkins. Particularly if he plays Origin."
"He might say I want to go elsewhere to start and so be it. But yeah his injury may lead him to miss a portion of 2027. Surely he wouldn't be sweet to just jump right in playing he'd need time in Cup."
"Well they both play different positions and add different values. It depends on what we want."
"4 year, 1.45 million with unlimited tickets to wiggles concerts and 30% off at Peter Wynn's Score for the lifetime of his contract?"

"Parra need to be smart and pay overs to make the decision for him. You might consider taking $350k in a Premiership team, but you're not going to walk away from an extra $200k per year over 3 years.
Offer $575k per year over 3 years and get it done ✅"

"I think now Simmo's role becomes depth and experience amongst the team, but not really a priority 1st Grader."
"That makes him a $600k winger, and yeah than he's a good value get. It gives us elite coverage if we lose our 5/8, FB, or winger.
Parra need to get this done ASAP."
Parra need to get this done ASAP."
"I think $500-550k is reasonable for a good winger these days, but Jenkins has a couple of value options that could push him to $600k as he can play FB, he kicks, is fast and powerful. Usually you're compromising on 1-2 of those capabilities, but he…"
"Reportedly Penrith can only offer $350k"

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.
