NRL 2023 Round 2 Discussion

Illias didnt ask for all the media attention, i believe Souths did the right thing letting Reynolds go, and Grant Atkins was a Penrith junior .

correct. Souths definitely did the right thing letting him go to the Broncos. I think I speak for everyone on this forum when I say, THANK YOU SOUTH SYDNEY

Where did I say he did? And what does that have to do with anything?

There is that famous non-conflict of interest again with Anasta being on that show.

Anasta was a commentator anyway so his clients get favourable talk from the rest of the pundits.

Talk about nepotism in our club, but NSWRL has basically been run on nepotism for its existence... and NRL is run by NSWRL

Not having a shot at you, just saying this is what the media does, they pile on 1 good performance and blow it up, Lachy is developing well, if Souths didnt let Adam Reynolds go they would have lost Lachy, its was a decision looking forward they had to make, win for both clubs, i can see Adam coaching one day.

Yeah, it had to have been a tough decision I think. Lachy is clearly talented and a choice had to be made. If they retain Adam and lose Ilias, they set themselves back a few years down the track. As much as I love having him at the Broncos, it's one of those situations where it never should have had to happen though. This is where serious cap concessions need to come in for long serving players, local juniors etc.

Was genuinely surprised at his height, he's a lot shorter than I thought.

Coach talks about the Mitchell situation.

Coach talks about the Mitchell situation.

It's disgusting. I read somewhere it was a kid and wearing a roosters Jersey.

Agreed. Illias is a good, smart player and getting better, if you're gonna have a 22yo halfback you could do much worse than him. If Jock Madden is gonna take over from Reynolds in the future I hope he's a similar style to Illias, I think that would work alongside Walsh and Mam.

Conflicting reports.

First I saw was Rabbitohs jersey then no jersey. Last I saw it was a fan of another team.

Can’t believe there were so many people tipping against the Panthers this game.

Jury is still out on this one as we are just into the 2nd year, South’s offered him a 1yr deal.

Seems like we are already getting good value from the deal, completely understand South’s position though. Sucks that players like ARey and others that play a long time for a club don’t start accumulating salary cap concessions.

Something like 10% per year starting in the 4th or 5th year.. some sliding scale to reward clubs for holding onto their players.

That's fairly definite then if Robinson is apologising.

Personally I think Robinson saying anything is totally unwarranted.

Let's say some shit **** robs a bank and kills someone, whilst he's wearing a Broncos jersey......
Is the club expected to apologise for that ***** behaviour?

Ridiculous !!

They were due for a win in my mind......

 

[BroncosFever]

If Souths were full strength they could have matched them in the middle and I reckon they're a better attacking team than Penrith currently but once I knew Souths were missing a few key middles it was a pretty easy tip.
