I always wonder with British teams just how much marketing affects our opinion of a player's skill.

Both very good teams. Spain just had the edge.

Great defense on the line

Spain just seemed to want to rest on their lead. Seriously hate that cynical football. Spain made to pay.

Apropos first 20 minutes: The Broncos should have realised by now that they need to come out firing for at least the first 20, get quick PTBs, control the ruck speed and maximum effort in that first 20 minutes. Sometimes it is the ref, but seriously, a lot of the time their handling, ruck speed...

I think what is annoying fans the most (except probably Panthers and Storm fans) is that the game is basically over in the first 20 minutes these days. Consciously or subconsciously most people who know the game can already tell that if one team has had all the possession, got a certain number...

Don't know if you lot watched this, but the former head of WADA, Dick Pound (teehee) said multiple damning things in 2016: Sports were simply saying they had doping programs for marketing. It seems easy to get away with doping because they only catch ~2% of drug cheats. A study on the testing...

Ah shit, I posted before I read this. You hit all the same points. It does add up to something fishy.

The NRL can't have another scandal for a top team. They have basically reinstated Melbourne's trophies these days. They allowed Sharks their Premiership in the one single year that they apparently weren't cheating BETWEEN years they were (this does my head in!). The ASADA scandal with the Sharks...

It's also hard to type good wiff no teef.

I have always felt that way about Origin. Like, yeah, cool, but it absolutely has cost the Broncos a few premierships through injuries, and ladder position, etc.

But then again

You know what I think it might be is EPO. It is prevalent in the Horse Racing industry (reminds me of a certain person in the NRL head office) and is highly effective for Cardio. In thinking about it, it would be a huge scandal for the NRL to have another top team caught cheating and have to...

The change his body went through between 2018 and 2019 after his shoulder operation was remarkable

Centre and a spud after 20 min. He is already playing in cover. Maybe he is worth a shot, but I do not think he knows the positional aspects of wing well

I think, as others have pointed out, that there is very little choice besides throwing in a kid to the wolves. Our other experienced backup wingers are all injured

Same. I like that you stick to the KISS principle

or... he is a handy backup to have as an experienced winger and if injuries to our main wingers or centres happen he can step up and fill in... ah yeah, that is what he is doing
