You have to pick a backrower on the bench these days. HIAs will kill you every time.

Bullshit penalty, he lost that cold

The NRL field is 14m wider, AFTER cutting 5m off the standard size. The Super Bowl players weren't going anywhere near the edge of the grass, our guys are.

Thank God Selwyn is playing centre now, because he'd be going straight over that sideline and into an ambulance.

Seems awfully risky only taking one additional forward over, when we already have Piakura a 50/50 chance to play.

He's been ruled out of round 1. https://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/roosters-recruit-dominic-young-to-miss-las-vegas-tour-through-injury/news-story/5464494977972718f6e2d1fd88a9aab7

He's not even remotely good enough to bother with.

Without Capewell we're short someone who can cover the backline mid-game. This may work in Sailor's favour. It leaves us very light on the bench though, especially considering we're already carrying a smaller body in Hetherington.

Personally I think he could have used a little more experience. These kids need to earn their spot.

Israel Folau had played 52 NRL games and an Origin series before Bennett picked him.

He had more good games than Travis Head did.

He was recognised, he got MOTM in both those games. It's an award like the Dally M. You get votes across every match you play. Would you expect an NRL player to win if they played 2 amazing games across the entire season? We may as well delay the Dally M by a week and just give it to whoever...

Only the Heat could make 210 and still be a letdown. This should have been an easy 230+.

Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad went alright this year.

Wouldn't even be the first time News Corp used this defence.

Decided to wade into r/NRL to check out the outrage. If I had a dollar for every salty tear I'd be richer than Bezos.

Would you look at that, Auckland three days after Origin. I'm shocked.

You just know that for some teams every innocuous penalty will turn into a 5 minute sin bin, and for certain other teams every clear cut 10 minute bin will become a 5.

Carrigan was behind Palasia, could argue that makes it knocked back.
