Absolutely, JAC was / is massive, in attack & defense - his strength isn't hit ups / metres, but he's irreplaceable, imo. Very smart player.

"Gucci, what weight was Mataele playing at when he debuted against Knights? Listed as 188cm and 108kg and just don't recall him being anywhere near that. He looked like a unit and his contact in defense was excellent, maybe showing the benefit of…"
"Well done HH. Irony and subtlety in one. "
"Was anyone a bit surprised by Mataele's defense vs Dogs? He definitely crunched a few Dogs. Checked his stats and at 188cm + 108kg, he is the same size as Teacum Brown and a bigger unit than Doorey or Moretti. I think only Tuivati is bigger (191cm,…"
"Agreed, EA. Pryke & Mataele in the middle had good first contact and stopped any progress through the middle. Made the game one of attrition, in which Moses' kicking game and some good work from Penisini, Kelly and Nanva in backfield meters let the…"

"How will Gough go with Moses, given the NRL sent a letter to Moses warning him for having expressed some credulity about Gough's refereeing?"

"That is an area that is strong in his coaching. He is invested in those who are best at the time. If a player signs for decent money but someone below him is better, he will play the player below.

"Agreed. If he runs like Will but just more athletic he would be a perfect winger. Hopefully gets a good run without injury."
"Actually is smart as we have nothing at Wing if anyone goes down so why not get Richie ready is asked to come in?"
"Peter Gough is the ref? Surely that's a piss take by the NRL? In Round 5 Eels vs Tigers Gough forgot the rule book and also orchestrated the game via one knee jerk whistle and six again after another. He was dropped for Round 6. Now his first game…"
"They would need to apply for dispensation since he is on a train and trial contract. "
"Kelly, Penisini and Nanva all had 100+ all-run meters but only The Fox made the weekly Top 20 player contribution rating, so Fox might not be a backfield metre-eater but overall his involvement is high"

Cannot see why not, but unfortunately the battling line looks as fragile as poppa's hips!lol it appears it could be a tough summer
Nothing wrong with my hips Mickey. It what hangs off them thats a bit wobbly!
Please no pics pop's!lol Keep it PG.
In the absence of 'experts' in the field I'd think the batsmen at the top of the order need to book a bulk visit to a good shrink. The fog and uncertainty need to expelled so they can play once again assured. Only Travis, Marsh and Carey are currently mentally fit to play a role in the test team. India has a dynamic bowling group, but they're aided large by the meek effort of some of our batters.
Hope you're right Mick, I always look to our cricket team to take my mind away from the o'rf season. If there's no bounce back from them, my only back-up is the Thunder.
Yeah RJ, cricket is a great game takes our minds off footy for while but now its seems NRL is 365 day business - all it takes is a great knock or great partnership and it can turn a series
They need a talk from Steve Waugh. Learn what it takes for the mental disintegration of your opponents. To do that, you have to be completely switched on and focussed yourself.
The lack of red ball cricket has also not helped. Where is the Sheffield Shield? That's supposed to produce Test Cricketers, but all we have seen is T20 and a few one-dayers.
Team overall is getting too old and the current state of Shield cricket is uninspiring.
We are on the decline, unless a few unexpected youngsters jump out of the ground.
The bowlers tend to be pretty good game to game but the batters (ex Head) are basically flat track bullies.
Khawaja (38) should be pensioned off. Labuschagne (30) is hopelessly out of form. Smith (35) seems to be past it. Starc (34) is all over the shop innings to innings. Lyon (37) is not ever going to do a Warne and rip thru a team. Hazlewood (33) is good but he is no McGrath. Cummins (31) is inconsistent but generally good.
We miss Green but also need a genuine bowling all-rounder who can be our Flintoff, Pollock etc. I thought Cummins might turn into that but his batting is getting worse.
My opinion only and I am sure others will have different thoughts.
Have to agree with everything you've said Badger. Depressing but true. Also we can't continually bowl using the seam while the blokes from the Sub-Continent excell in that manner.
