Easier access to toes.

What? No. If we score tries the ball is kicked to us and we get another set that we normally wouldn't get if we didn't score a try. I, in absolutely no way said that we shouldn't make tackles. Are you new to this sport or something?

You said if we score more tries we will defend less. It's a stupid comment I was trying to make some sense of it.

If we make less errors, force more drop outs, kick more 40/20's we will also defend less. What was your point?

It's only stupid because you didn't understand it. Otherwise it's perfectly valid.

The other hooker can set up tries and Turpin can't do that because he's shit.

No, it was stupid because it was stupid. That's all.

It wasn't and now this conversation is dumb. Enjoy your night, Turpin is shit.

And still comfortably the best 9 at Brisbane.

And still comfortably the best 9 at Brisbane.

I wouldn't say comfortably. They are all fairly ordinary here apart from potentially Mozer.

I'd be concerned about the extra defensive workload that second row would put on Staggs. If he's busted from tackling his arse off, how good will his running game be?

Cant be worse than the last few weeks

Its not quite the same sort of defence i guess in some ways. I think he could be even more damaging if we can get him the ball in the back row. He does probably need to bulk up a little more though to play there.

To me it’s not that staggs can’t tackle it’s that he can’t read the play in front of him worth a pinch of shit.

Herbie is working with mind coach, energy reader, quasi-psychologist and life mentor, peak-performance coach Joe Wehbe, who also mentors Daly Cherry-Evans and James Tedesco.

Herbie:

“There are a lot of benefits that come from working with Joe. One of those is that he is very good mentally and he knows how your brain works. I have only just signed with Joe and started working with him, but everything he has done so far shows me that he has a great knowledge of the game and he knows how to simplify things and bring everything back to basics. He works on clearing your mind and working on instinct.”​

​

“I am still working with uncle Brian (Wigan scout Brian Foley, who manages his contracts) and we are a great team, but at the moment he is back in England so I also had to look for someone who is here and can go and meet with clubs. I don’t know Tedesco but I agree with what he has previously said about Joe. I have spoken to Daly Cherry-Evans a few times and he talks so highly of Joe and how trustworthy he is, so he must be doing something right to have the captains of the Blues and Maroons on his books.”​

​

“I was left out of the England team but I have lifted my game since then. There was a breakdown at my end but I have spoken to Shaun Wane (England Coach) since and I think we have sorted things out now."​

​

“Both of us are really keen for this World Cup and I think England is going to go really well under Shaun. From the meetings I have had his knowledge of the game is very good and I am keen to work with him."​

​

“Wigan was where I first played rugby league so it would be special to play there but I’ve got to get in the side first. It’s a long way off, but it would be pretty cool to play for England.”​

He needs to get more involved so instead of giving him the option, this would force him to do more work.

This is exactly the sort of game we lose, not looking forward to it.

Nah, last week was the wake-up call they needed. They'll win by plenty tomorrow. Reynolds MOTM.

I find this interesting;

Top table is trys scored, left to middle to right hand side.

Next table is tries conceded.

Anyone not convinced of Herbies worth to the club - Staggs side is responsible for the most points against, and hardly contributes to our attack.

However, Staggs is reading things in defence better this year. At least from what i can see on TV.

Probably should relook at this after 10 rounds perhaps, too little data after 3 rounds to really make definitive conclusions...

Kennedy needs to sharpen up in the chivalry department if he wants to force James out of the team.

The smooth talk from James on show there.
