Agree on the intercept being poor but imo he didnt seem to bounce back from the drama following the game which makes me nervous he won't from this as well but time will tell. At his best he is a great attacking threat and can throw himself into a tackle as well (can miss an opposition centre...

My gut feeling on this is overall positive, hard to go wrong having a player like Hunt in the squad. Just takes so much pressure off the team should/when Reynolds misses games as well as the post Reynolds transition next season. Yes, we have a tonne of hooker/halves in the squad but as someone...

From memory Paps always had a question on his physicality when discussing Origin selection in the Sydney media all those years ago as well...certainly behind in the pecking order from those you mentioned.

Stamp duty alone would wipe out more than a years worth of contract variance assuming he wants to live in a semi decent house

Surely its the classic Ride a **** Horse to Banbury Cross...will strike absolute fear into our opposition

The idea of Paul vs. Tyson was much better than the reality

Didn’t they just win without him?

Jesus...if every kick off now becomes a contest for the ball like drop outs we will struggle for possession.unless Madge works overtime in this area. I don't know stats but felt like we had about a 20% success rate on short dropouts.

Mozer i'm guessing unless you are being a smart ass... I quite like McInnes and is a tough all effort player that we need more of but his best position is already filled my someone better so would be a luxury signing so hoping your whispers stay just that

Over 50 missed tackles and high in penalties given away just added to the misery this season.

Yes, unfortunately there is more to the game than the occasional highlight reel run every 4 games. His 60 missed tackles over 18 games kind of overshadows his 5 line breaks for me.

Not every position, no one is saying that but having 2 spuds in the backrow and no depth is bad roster management.

There are 34 starting backrowers in the NRL, to be above average i assume you consider Riki to be in the top 40%? So better than say 14 of these backrowers. I'd love to hear how Riki is better than any of Martin, Papalii, Katoa, Crichton, Nikora, Kikau, Olakau'atu, Frizell, Young, Kaufusi...

Not overly surprising that players are happy to re-sign at the 2 best teams in the comp with extremely stable rosters and coaching.

Look it wouldn't be an end of the world signing as should be dirt cheap but just sucks we have to be picking up a Tiger (and Panther) reject when teams like the Dolphins are picking up a Junior Tupou and might not even be fitting him into their strongest side. Not to mention Tigers picking up...
