    Cleary is a shoe in, but reckon Holbrook would be next in line for dally m coach of the year?

    Still unsure what to make of Souths.

    Were one of the form teams a month ago, then Latrell went down, began diminishing game by game and eventually lost to the bottom side last week. Now they absolutely belt the best side of the last few years last night.

    They haven't had luck with injuries but the guys coming in are doing their job. They have a quality bench and Corey Allen's efforts at fullback has been a big surprise to me at least. In the end though, everything revolves around what mood Cody is in

    Cronulla. lol

    Payten will get it, IMO.

    Sharks make the 8 with 0 wins against a top 8 team and a points differential of 0. Good to see the top 8 system working as intended.

    This season is the perfect argument for a Top 6 system.

    Having said that, Eels will lose this, come 5th, and lose to them next week guaranteed.

    How did Parra get the ball there from the Blake Ferguson knock on?

    I’m so confused.

    Whats everyone feeling for the finals? Takes a lot for me to believe, but it had felt like a Penrith-Roosters/Storm GF was very very likely. That Rabbits win late throws a bit of excitement in though.

    Only thing I got wrong was them signing the number 18 jersey for him, he's been named in 19:

    Haha I was talking to Gemmell about that conversation on FB after the teams were named. So funny.

    I actually thought they'd play him at 9 once Friend was out tbh.
     
  12. Magic AJ Parker

    He played 9 at the back end of the Tigers game, I wouldn't rule it out. Lussick is still very raw and Robinson has opted for First Grade capability over specialist capability plenty of times in the past especially when it comes to dummy half.

    Bench makes no sense for a Robinson side either. Definitely some changes coming IMO.
     
  13. Sultan Pepper HG Emm

    The balance looks all over the shop to me as is.
     
  14. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Makes perfect sense to me for Aubo to start at 9 and then either Lussick or Lam or come off the bench in the role. Playing both of them is weird IMO.
     
  15. Sultan Pepper HG Emm

    Even Maubs to come on at the 30 minute mark, get that middle 20 mins at hooker, then 15 in the back row and get out of the way.
     
  16. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Just the disrespect to name him 19th man.
     
  17. Magic AJ Parker

    What a fucking game.
     
  18. Toolman TR Man

    Roosters looked disjointed the whole game, they didn't deserve to come anywhere near winning. Panthers just have several turnstiles in defence.
     
  19. Magic AJ Parker

    Friend will fix a lot of that when he’s back, service out of dummy half tonight was very very low level. Sadly Aubusson seemed a step up from Lussick when he came on.

    I almost think playing next week instead of getting the week off given our current situation might be a bit of a blessing in disguise as match fitness in a few of the blokes returning from injury seemed to be off and Robinson has got some big calls to make around Flanagan and SBW.
     
  20. Toolman TR Man

    Did Flanagan even play? Don't recall him doing a single thing. They still have the same issue of one-dimensional attack without Radley. Liu is the only forward who makes them think twice. SBW could've been trained to fix that but I don't think there's enough time for that now.
