CROSS FORUM NRL Round 3 Discussion

They're 3/3 and look great, you sound upset they're playing better than us.

Good on them for being 3/3, but it is definitely papering over some cracks (mainly defensively).

I'm not saying they can't get better, but they have definitely shown they are very beatable at the moment.

we can be just as bad after a tough loss

The raiders greenhouse forum site is shite. Going there and coming back to our lovely forum makes me love tajhay even more.

This sharks tigers game is a lesson that no nrl game is easy. Sharks clearly thought they could just turn up to win. Gotta give all sides, even those expected to be at the bottom, the same level respect you would pay to a top team. Hope we don't think the same when we start playing these sides later in the season.

Keep playing like they did tonight and stay the course and they won't have that problem.

They have him locked up till 2026. The goal between now and 2025 is to ensure this is a good fit and getting it sorted before free agency.

If Tigers are to make the top 8 in the future he will be the reason, absolute gem of a find, Though something tells me he will be Teddys replacement at Roosters.

I think he will be one of the best fullbacks in the game in the future, just an absolute natural at the position, even in a bad team he looks good consistently.

Early days but some interesting stats emerging.
If we didn’t already know that Tohu Harris was a machine - he’s in the top 10 for runs this season and run meters which is pretty much filled out by backs, the exception being AFB also in top ten for run meters.
Tohu also No.2 in Tackles., with Jackson Ford and Kurt Capewell also in the top 10.
DWZ and Taine Tuapiki in top 10 for tackle breaks
No one in the top 10 for offloads.

Apparently Api was playing with gastro, what a unit

I haven’t seen a try blown that badly for some time…

I had $75 on Foran FTS @ $31..

Set the tone for what was to come. Brimson should have scored it himself but good return if Foran held it

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Loved the Tigers game.

So many death riders of Benji, but if anyone can bring them together its probably Benji. Will they win the comp, unlikely. Can they restore some pride in the jersey? Lets hop so .

Bula
Api
Seezer
Papalii
Utoikamanu

Surely they can mould the base of a decent team from that.

100% unless your massacring the opposition, take the try.

We would have lynched anyone who tried that in this team.

Seeing Luai as surplus to requirements if they can keep that up

I dont mind Luai. If you want heroes, you have to have villains.

They don’t want to lose Galvin and Sezer led them around well. Olam was huge for them

Good problem to have
Sezer can either be injury depth or they put one of their spine into the centres.

They’ve got Adam Douehi to come back yet and I’d be putting him into the centres personally. Think they floating Sezer to lock as an option

Yeah but Douehi isn't a team man "I want to play stand off or I refuse to play drama" maybe they are better trading him to some other team. Thoughts? Or am I alone with reservations about him.

Olam was pretty good too

Is it better if the Knights or Storm win for our game against the Knights next week? On one hand if the Knights win they won't be as desperate for a win next week but they may take some confidence from beating the Storm, if the Storm thrash the Knights they will be looking for a turn around game next week, so maybe best option is if the Knights lose in a close contest...
