Morgan can cover hooker I would imagine if Milf at 7. Issue is again 2 running five eights in halves and a poor attacking hooker. Morgan has proved he can (when in form at least) carry a team at halfback.

It’s not fat shaming to say a professional athlete doesn’t look close to game fitness despite ample time, access to training and every best facility. It’s not just central obesity it’s lack of bulk elsewhere. If he’s playing the house down then non topic. If he’s finally going to lock that’s a...

Cronk at Roosters. Inglis wasn’t as good at Souths. Lots of confounding factors though.

If Milf comes on bench with MM at half who plays hooker for a spell? Macca cannot be made to play 80 in origin. He’s an endurance player but need him 100% effort every second on field given his weaknesses not pacing himself to get through 80 like seems to have been the pattern this season.

Logic doesn’t track. Never played before so no Oates but pick Milf. Milf higher in pecking order so he comes in but Oates isn’t higher than Copley? I imagine Milf is cover for Hunt. Why not have Oates in there to let him know he’s highly regarded for the future?

My question is what are they doing to spread the suspiciously timed ‘mystery virus’. Team bonding to a whole new level?

Copley!! MBye. Future is f***ed. Oates was dudded twice. The 3 Broncs selected are good picks. Can we make Boyd’s rest longer than 17 days. Welcome him back when he can run a full 100 without pulling out for fear of hammy tears.

Just hope Inglis’s knee is up to keeping a check on Roberts’s speed. It was slightly scary seeing Inglis burnt by was it Aitken? Trusting he’ll step up as Captain and use his experience to outsmart Roberts if he can’t outrun him.

Good signs and why we need to go to Perth. AFL should be much weaker on tv though as the game isn’t as well suited to watching on small screen and takes longer to watch in age of limited attention spans. But crowd figures and memberships are the key difference.

Broncos celebrated if win? Will be more like relief from criticism haven’t won more with all our unfair advantages. I think since 2014 been very on the nose. NRL and media seems more interested in selling a bulls*** story than the actual thing of value in the long term which is a quality and...

Good idea but as usual NRL makes execution much harder than needs to be. 12 weeks is a long time also would prevent a player making early return if rehabs better than expected. I would argue anything over 4-6 weeks would be fine for salary cap exemption. Also hit and miss on player...

Amazing work. Agree penalties conceded would be key comparator. Also be interesting to see year by year and place finished on ladder. 18 years is a long time in sport so if there was bias it might be only over a short period till a team gets its fairytale then moves to next darling. Also...

Storm have been caught out by new rule interpretations as much as losing a champion 7 and smith subpar. Outside their spine our team is far superior I think. Difference is Bellamy has capability to adapt, Bennett refuses. Bellamy has a succession plan for 7 and 9 but ability to change if...

34 tackles but avg 7m for 7 runs. Know that doesn’t reflect quality of each action but adequate not great for me. Hugely benefits off young guys making the meters. Without them he struggles. He’s doing his job of doing things around more dynamic players but have better options when injured...

A logical selection policy. I know I ask a lot!

1. Isaako 2. Kahu 3. Boyd 4. Roberts 5. Oates 6. Milf 7. Murphy\Dargan 8. Lodge 9. Macca (short minutes if post origin) 10. McGuire 11. TPJ 12. Sua 13. Offa 14. Knik 15. Taga 16. Thaiday 17. Staggs Assuming Glenn still out if not Glenn on bench instead Thaiday.

These are professional players. If they need a one legged man to prevent them falling apart in defence then it is sh*t coaching and culture. He is costing 1-2 tries at moment if thats the standard it’s not good enough. A good fullback should be worth saving a try a game not there to prevent...

I thought it was sadly about his best game all season... he’s building a bit which is great but just can’t carry a fullback who can’t run. He wasn’t exposed as much last night due to complete ineptitude from eels halves rather than good management. Wonder how Isaako is at organising defence?

I like it. Simple rule. And video ref can rule with a straight line on the field like they use for swimming. Only on captains challenge though where they bring up a specific pass. Would change the game with all the flat passes and overrunning the ball that goes on these days. Probably be huge...

Do Bennett and Bellamy get along? Bennett as director of football, Bellamy as coach, Smith as assistant coach. Bring Munster and Croft. Throw in Brandon Smith and got a team. Need to also Bring Bellamy’s accounting team and a tanker full of soap to deal with the grubbiness of those guys...
