    Player in Group 6? If so, no idea soz. I only know of the ex-NRL players running around from @Rocks who watches a lot of the games/keeps track.

    Nvm, you meant Zac Cini. Yeah he's running around in 2nd grade atm

    Broncos 13+ year of the ambush.

    Despite the Bunnies try with a minute or so to go, that was probably the best 40 mins I've seen the Broncos play in years.

    Anything on it?

    All the supposed contender sides seem to have shit the bed almost the moment magic said they're looking better than last year and we'll have a close finals

    He was talking up betting on them H2H before it started, I'm sure he would've bet on that. Don't think he would've gone 13+ though lol.
     
  8. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    I had $50 H2H, but not 13+. I had 13+ in a SGM but it didn't work out.

    That has to be one of the biggest missed calls I've seen in a long time.

    YTB!

    Eels knocking off Storm and Panthers is great news for the comp.

    Really liking our edge forwards Nanai and Luki. Taking some of that workload off Taumalolo has been beneficial to his game and form.

    Good for the Maroons too.

    Not for a few years.

    We may need to tap one of them on the shoulder. Capewell has a neck injury and Fifita is out with a knee.
     
  16. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Capewell back for the Broncos this week. He will be there with Kaufusi on the other edge. Arrow from the pine.

    Fox sports coverage seems to be on a steady decline year on year.

    The commentators calling games from the studio and not even attending games anymore is such a joke. Watching the Roosters game on the weekend and Sam Walker had gone off with a HIA and for 30seconds whilst they were replaying the try being scored they were confused who was going to take the kick… go to the fucking game and give us that info like surely one of the key components to the value of commentators is to commentate on what we at home can’t see.

    Half time was 5 minutes of adds, cut back to the studio for a promo of Paul Gallen’s boxing event, 30 seconds of game analysis, promo for Formula 1 and then cut to promo of Andrew Voss at Wentworth park promoting the greyhounds then back off to another 5 minutes of adds.

    There seems to be less and less content and coverage of the game than ever before. I used to enjoy the NRL teams show that the NRL would publish on their website but apparently Foxsports complained that it was in conflict with 360 so they scrapped it this year.

    There's talk of Reuben Cotter being considered. Not sure if he's ready.

    What’s the sentiment on Billy Slater as coach?

    Can’t say I’ve been overly impressed with him as a pundit, coming very early on in his career too.
     
  20. jazman84 JM Eightyfour

    Will be interesting to see how he goes. Mal, after all won 9 of 10 he coached, and he has never really had great takes. Origin is probably more about getting your guys up for the game and playing at their peak.

    As far as any tactics go, I'd say Josh Hannay will be doing the heavy lifting.
