    I think thats just his demeanor. Doesnt mean he doesnt work his arse off tho.

    I actually feel sorry for TPJ. Gould says he's a very sensitive kid, clearly he is. And the dropping from Origin really messed him up. Only a fucking moron like Fittler would have had him in the mix; he should never have been picked only to then get dropped. And signing with the Dogs for big money was an awful idea. He needed to go to a strong club, with older forwards to mentor him, and on less money without huge expectation.

    Its another one lost that couldve been prevented imo.

    I would let Cobbo walk if it it's for more than 500k. For me he's your typical rocks or diamonds type player, going to give you some absolute moments of brilliance and some moments of absolute shit.

    I would be more sympathetic to an overpay on Mam as the halves market isn't exactly great and for the sake of continuity in the spine given Reynolds will retire in the next 12-24 months.

    He's literally already signed for more than that until 2025. Dude knocks back 4 mil to stay loyal and is being chased by 10+ clubs but yeah let him go for more than 500k haha. Ridiculous policy for a 21 year old with Origin experience and so much potential, as well as demonstrated loyalty.

    I think Cobbo will fizzle. Broncos have overpaid him and Staggs, and should both be copping pay cuts next contracts. Broncos need to significantly upgrade Walsh and Mam, and if Mozer and Mariner kicks on as some expect, they'll need one too.

    Lachie Miller --> Leeds. Worth an early bet for MoS I reckon.

    So much chatter about Luai getting low balled at Penrith with an offer rumoured to be at a touch under 800k. I think he'll take it and stay, but I think that's at the absolute upper end of what's he's worth anyway. Unless I'm not to to date with the current cap I'd have thought an offer of 800-900 would be what a club was dangling to get him, whilst panthers would rig up a long term deal around 700~

    Stupid clubs would offer him over a million. I think he is barely worth 600. Penrith would be better served putting Laurie at 6 on the min wage deal he is on, and using Luai money elsewhere.

    Yeah, I think what he does will depend on what offers he can get on the open market.

    Just tuned in to an Atkins try assist.

    Late tackle my ass. The rulings on kick pressure this year in general have been an absolute joke. That's embarrassing.

    Crowd looks good, was this a sell out?

    Would have been close. Was over 50K.

    Great win, but gutted for Paps.

    PVL on recruiting from the NFL

    “It’s an initiative we want to trial,” V’landys said of the American recruitment drive.

    “We’ll do a four-day combine in Vegas and rugby league scouts from the clubs will be there with an opportunity to sign them.

    “I will hear some negatives from people saying it won’t work, but we’ve seen a lot more Polynesian players come through and succeed in the NRL.

    Is he saying what I think he’s saying… or just been misquoted?

    If it's not in the cap, I hope Broncos target some big units that miss out on the NFL. Could potentially make some decent props. I wouldn't expect any of them to make it in a position that requires too much IQ. They could be better athlete versions of the fobs.

    Those polynesians have been playing league or union their whole lives, bit of a difference there.

    Haha geez, surely that's cobbled together from something longer?

    Mann & Hutchinson off to Bulldogs to join Salmon and Taaffe. Seem like the exact wrong kind of signings for them

  19. jazman84 JM Eightyfour

    They've let both Alamoti and Avarillo go, makes me think they'll play Burton and Crichton in the centres with Sexton and Hutchinson in the halves with Taaffe at Fullback. Could go alright, more likely to be dire though. They need to sort their pack out.

    Actually thought the riffs d was a little more fragile than normal last night. Clinical in attack but there were a few holes up the middle.

    God I hate player rating pie es too. Fox did one give Tago an 8, he was all at sea in the first half
