LOL not surprising... Super Freak as a bit of a lurker here before I decided to post yesterday, I railed with your many ups and down a couple of weeks ago when you picked the 8 in a multi for a very decent win. Always pays to know where to get a few stats from as well as gut instinct when it...

It's a weird season mate. Courier Mail reported also that on stats, Cowboys should be leading the comp. I would hate to be a pro sports gambler at this stage.

If it were Ennis I would to fast forward 8 years and find the next Hodgo who could point to McCullough and say the same thing about him after he represents state and country and smashes them all.

Cody is not exactly young or proven at NRL level. But as a stop-gap solution for 7-8 rounds till Kahu (at least until he shows his potential), I think Cody would have been an interesting proposition instead of Hoffman, at the least for freeing up players in their preferred positions. We all know...

The best! You can always tell the really great players by how much NSW fans hate them and vice versa. Hodgo is one of the last real characters as well.

Kyle Feldt has been dropped by the Cowboys for tonight, as has Glenn Hall. Can understand Hall, but Kyle Feldt for Matthew Wright is a strange decision as I think he is a star in the making and has not played too bad except for a bad mistake last week. He is not injured either as he played ISC...

True - he would be pricey now. He's outshone JWH this year. I think the new rules make the more mobile props more valuable now. Tapau is big and aggressive but he is mobile and has even scored a few tries. He'd be great for us.

Or Sam Moa - he's off contract next year I think. I wonder if he'd be expensive now.

LOL. Most of the older Queensland journos had to report Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen's quotes, so they are well versed in editing jibberish.

I thought so too. So what has changed? He's like 120kg, fit as, and should be busting out at least 1 or 2 per game? He only has 1 offload in 5 games too and 0 line breaks. Do you think he has been coached to just run with the main intent being to get up for a quick play the ball with minimal...

Interesting... He started at avg. 2 per game, then tapered to 1 per game. But I can't find how many he has done this year on that link or anywhere else. I did find his stats page for this year -...

I know this an old thread, but being new I didn't want to start a new one up at risk of upsetting the locals :). This article today on Justin Hodges speaking about Ben Barba - Justin Hodges admits Ben Barba is struggling to find his best form in Brisbane | News.com.au Hodges seems to be very...

I don't know where to find detailed stats, but I am sure Kennedy was busting lots of tackles in the last few years right? I can't recall him doing more than 1 or 2 this year (if any) but. I can't back it up with stats once again, but it seems this is a common theme with a lot of our forwards who...

Absolutely. This is a massive part of rugby league and Brisbane history that has pretty much been forgotten about nowadays. There was a real community/tribalism aspect in the BRL that helped shape a lot of Brisbane's/Qld's identity in general as well. I found this link some time ago where a Dr...

Sandow is really exciting to watch, but not if he is on your team :). He is selfish and does take a lot of risks, which in a way, is refreshing for the NRL these days.

I laughed when he did that. Later on he did the exact opposite and kicked it in touch from 35 out instead of an attacking kick (Brad Arthur's reaction was hilarious). Sandow is up and down like a fiddler's elbow. He is like a little kid always trying to test the limits of what he is allowed to do.

I agree. Just throwing it out there to see what people thought of Matt Gillett there...

There are a lot of potentially good young halves floating around at the moment. Looks like Cody Walker (bit older but, he was great in the InTrust Cup last year) is about to sign with Souths after just signing with Melbourne. Ben Hampton, Moses Mybe, Luke Keary, Mitchell Moses, Mitchell Cornish...

The team as a whole is not desperate - I think we are going great actually. Just saying that for Hoffman to even be considered in the halves shows that particular position is desperate at the moment. I mean I read here calls for Shane Perry to be bought back lol.

If Sandow played his best every game he is undoubtedly capable of more than Hunt/Hoffman. However, his attitude stinks. Although I have many times been frustrated with Ben Hunt making some of the stupidest errors I have ever seen, the guy has a really great attitude and is very loyal. He is the...
