They must have revised it as NRL.com is now showing 288m. Still a hell of an effort. JT13 has the record for a forward at 345m though.

I changed my tipping last night when I heard Vaugan had been omitted because he broke the lockdown rules. I almost regretted it. The Dragons matched a depleted Roosters and they were there for the taking if the Dragons only had some added starch through the middle of the ruck. Unfortunately, I think PV's two week suspension cost them two points and probably their hopes of finishing in the eight.
I know it's too late for us this year, but our staff should be using this example to teach the young ones coming through that not adhering to agreed systems can cost your team dearly.

Be interesting to see how they’d have gone without needing to based in Aus and gotten all the loan players though. Not saying they’ve gotten better players from it (at all) and Todd can only work with what he’s got, but yeah this is a weird season that I wouldn’t read too much into just yet

Manly came back pretty well but that try on half time will give the Warriors some momentum.

Is it just me or are there a fair few props playing at an extremely high level this season?
Taukeiaho, Haas, Campbell-Gillard, Fonua-Blake, DSaifiti, Fisher-Harris, Paulo etc.
Going to be really interesting to see who get the rep jerseys as guys like Papalii, Taupau, McGuire, JWH, Klemmer have had a mortgage on them in years gone by.

The thing that's becoming noticeable is a need for the prop to be agile with endurance rather than big and powerful... it's like prop has become the lock of years gone by.
RCG looks like he's lost weight and suddenly he's not getting dominated in games.
You also missed Junior Paulo who's been phenomenal this year.
Even Tino who is basically a second rower is dominating as an agile, powerful prop
A guy like Napa and Maclean are looking pretty useless at the moment, not to mention Offa and Lodge in Brisbane... although I think Lodge will be fine it's just that he lost half a season to an ACL injury and then jumped straight back into the starting side right when his rehab finished.
I think Offa needs to drop some weight and see if it makes him a bit more mobile... he doesn't exactly use his size to any sort of advantage so it's just a detriment to his game, because his lateral movement is non-existent
