9. Porthoz

Jesus Christ.

He shouldn’t be in first grade, and certainly not starting. He’s a serviceable player and good for depth, but no more. Not fair to criticise him directly as we didn’t have too many shining lights on Thursday, but I can’t see him remaining once the injured brigade return.

Didn't I read somewhere the NRL agreed to pay the players until the end of May? Wouldn't that make them contractually obligated to attend training when scheduled? I can understand their logic in it's simplest form, but in reality it's ridiculous. Most of them are paid more than a fair chunk of...

Yep - on the back of the defense. Though I understand your implication here. I'm going to put on my Pat's hat now - and I know that's what you wanted by not quoting my full post. You need to move on from the whole "Brady is a system QB" rubbish. Even if he does suck this year it will not prove...

Exactly. Go Tampa!* *unless they are playing the Pats

To be fair - he wasn't really 'good' last season either. Certainly by his own standards. He will benefit from having a far superior receiving corps. If they can snag a RB from somewhere and look at O-line in the draft they should be solid. Bucs have one of the best LB groups in the league IMO...

I'm just glad they're in the NFC. Now I won't feel bad when I cheer for Brady to Gronk.

I got so excited this morning when I saw an NFL alert saying Gronk wants to come out of retirement. Then I get another alert saying he's been traded to the Bucs. 😭

**** channel 9. Seriously. Nine needs the NRL much more than the NRL needs Ch9. Let them rely on all their other sports...oh wait. Move to another FTA and sell the rights to ESPN in America. They're crying out for sport and would pay good money to show something.

I still don't think that would be enough for me to watch that game.

Well if the players get told they won't be getting paid I'd say that would be a decent motivator. It sucks, sure - but I'd rather be working away from my family on good coin then sitting at home earning no coin. There's also nothing to say that players couldn't fly home or partners fly in to...

Probably blind optimism, but am I the only one thinking that it could be a short-term thing? Why couldn't they use this suspension to sort out the logistics of getting everyone to one location, travel to said location, then just wait the 14 days and re-start the season?

Yep, but even still. He's rubbish. He's big. That's seemingly his only asset. Rubbish lateral movement, too slow getting off tackles and he doesn't even use his size to dent the line. He's the smooth peanut butter of forwards - a poor imitation.

Rhys Kennedy needs to **** off out of first grade. Surely we have a better option.

It's amazing that Jameis has made it so far despite being blind.

Sad. I wish he retired. I don't want to see him in another jersey. Will be an interesting year. Hopefully Stidham is ready!

Yep - that appears to have fixed it. The update button came back.

I can't save my tips. I thought I had already done it, but I apparently didn't. I can go through and tip all games except last night, but there's no save or update button.

Rumours around that Arthurs might kick. Surely he would have had a crack ahead of Staggs in the trials if that were the case?
