Left Old Trafford stadium after the game on Saturday, bumped into Jason Demetrio in the street. Drunkenly asked “Rabbitohs coach?” “Yeah mate”, he replied, reaching out and shaking my hand.
Aussie sport cards needs to get into the digital card business so tired having to buy boxes of NRL cards online instead of packets because I live outside of NSW/QLD
Randall sets the standard for fitness at the club he may not be a world beater but giving away a player like that for abit of average depth would be a mistake IMO
listened to the hello sport anthony watmough interview from a few years ago. he talked about all the senior players wanting a different guy in the team for the grand final but toovey rejected the idea and the guy (turned out to be david williams) had an all time shocker in the grand final.
Been Flegler and Carrigan for years. People used to talk mad shit about them, but I've always had faith that they'd come good. A shame about Lord Gamble...
Definitely Xavier Coates. Pisses me off when Broncos fans make out like he’s a terrible player or something. He has some flaws in his game but he definitely improved towards the end of this year. By the end of next year he will be a top 5 winger.
For me it's Lomax, he has so much potential and even though he's been playing average lately I just feel that his best is still yet to come (he is only 23 after all). Got selected in the PMs XI recently so he's not completely in the wilderness Rep wise
Lmao that was me but Sammy isn't even my answer to this. I would not trade JWH for any forward in the game, I don't care about the circumstances. I'll probably cry when he retires.
I would have said Kyle but I'm noticing there's a lot more support for him now. 2021 was a tough squad to work with, and he didn't even train with the top squad for this season. Sure he needs to improve a lot with the ball, but he's been all effort in defence and has really helped the guys on that edge.. he's always in the frame on breaks, kick chases, etc.. I really hope he can have his best season next year.
Would have gone to the front lines over Ash Taylor. Fuck he was that good in his first couple of years and I felt like we owed him a crack at it without his million dollar burden but unfortunately his injuries seemed too much (which I'm assuming is why we didn't offer him a min contract instead of letting him leave).
Luai. Not necessarily because of what he brings on the field. It’s everything off the field. If we let Luai go, I feel like we would lose that connection between Luai/Crichton/To’o.
Dylan Edwards, bloke tries his socks off week in week out and puts in 8-9/10 performances most games, averages 220 run metres which is elite and is one of those players where it seems like he gets better every time you see him. People often overrate others in comparison to him because maybe he isnt the most flashy player ever, but he does everything you need from a FB, its not a fullbacks job to act as a playmaker, his job is to organise defence, be reliable under a high ball, get your team on the front foot with good kick returns and to be there for cover defence, he does all those things as good as literally anyone.
As much as Damien Cook is a meme he's one of the best defenders in the comp. His running game has dropped off but that's because teams are making concerted efforts to stop it. He may throw 1 too many crash balls but when it works it makes our forwards look fantastic.
Man I don't know if there's even anybody like that at the club at the moment. So much of our team has been turned over, there's only like 3 guys who were even in the team before COVID.
Jayden Brailey. Excellent workrate, fantastic service out of dummy half and is a leader. Shame injuries have plauged his time in Newy so far but when fit, we look so much better.
Iran!!! Hope they towel the yanks up and get thru to the next round!
One of the worst games ive ever seen
Will we hear about bulldogs being cheats for giving Josh Jackson a post retirement role for the next 3 years like we did with GI?
Why?
At least they’ve only done it once
No

Hope you seen AOB there too and asked him ha
Technically “footy”, so: Richarlison’s goal against Serbia was insane.
Not sure if it's been mentioned anywhere else, but apparently Ben Barba will be playing for the Mossman Sharks in the Cairns comp next year.
Are you a local who might go to watch?
Not sure if this is a joke, but it’s been mentioned daily for close to a week

Up the raiders!!!!
Someone talking some sense
Apparently the Knights are looking to swap Chris Randall for Greg Marzhew.
Randall sets the standard for fitness at the club he may not be a world beater but giving away a player like that for abit of average depth would be a mistake IMO
Can he play FB? Seems weird we'd get rid of our only depth hooker for a player who plays in area where we have some depth in
I so badly want Marzhew to do well because his tackle breaks are so elite, but my god his defensive is absurdly bad
I’ll cry
I hope it doesn't happen, but if it does, that's surely Khan-Pereira's music - which I wouldn't be mad about
Just from the time Holbrook tried playing him at 14, I hope the Knights get him.
Me too, just come here to add but thanks for doing god’s work good sir.
I hope it doesn’t happen.
Carrigan and Cleary are in Prague and I wonder if they’d prefer a pub with a TAB in Penrith like Luke Rooney.
Patty strikes me as a man of culture.

Taufua did play in 2013. Even scored the first try
Think the player Watmough wanted would’ve been Hiku
Wasn't their a lot of innuendo about David Williams and match fixing?
Whose that player at your club who you’re irrationally loyal to?
Brailey or katoa
If any raiders fan says Jarrod Croker I will haunt their dreams
Don't have a player like that at Penrith. In regards to ex players Mansour.
Lachlan fitzgibbon and we all know why
Been Flegler and Carrigan for years. People used to talk mad shit about them, but I've always had faith that they'd come good. A shame about Lord Gamble...
Billy Walters. Ben Ikin. Anyone who says a mean thing about either of those two is getting their house ‘friendly jordies’ed’.
Definitely Xavier Coates. Pisses me off when Broncos fans make out like he’s a terrible player or something. He has some flaws in his game but he definitely improved towards the end of this year. By the end of next year he will be a top 5 winger.
Big Nelson
I would say Yeo but he is the best player in the comp so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
For me it's Lomax, he has so much potential and even though he's been playing average lately I just feel that his best is still yet to come (he is only 23 after all). Got selected in the PMs XI recently so he's not completely in the wilderness Rep wise
Tommy d
Kyle Feldt for me lol - dude delivered us a prem
Lmao that was me but Sammy isn't even my answer to this. I would not trade JWH for any forward in the game, I don't care about the circumstances. I'll probably cry when he retires.
Gotta be Rapana. Never 'elite', getting old, and has a brain fart in him but that man bleeds 110% green every week even if he is a grub.
Doesn't matter who else was up for grabs I'd never give up Mahoney, Papali'i, Niukore or Stone.
I would have said Kyle but I'm noticing there's a lot more support for him now. 2021 was a tough squad to work with, and he didn't even train with the top squad for this season. Sure he needs to improve a lot with the ball, but he's been all effort in defence and has really helped the guys on that edge.. he's always in the frame on breaks, kick chases, etc.. I really hope he can have his best season next year.
Nat Butcher. There might be other better back rowers, but Butcher brings something else.
Tyson Gamble. Oh, awkward.
Would have gone to the front lines over Ash Taylor. Fuck he was that good in his first couple of years and I felt like we owed him a crack at it without his million dollar burden but unfortunately his injuries seemed too much (which I'm assuming is why we didn't offer him a min contract instead of letting him leave).
Corey Oates
Pat Carrigan for sure
Luai. Not necessarily because of what he brings on the field. It’s everything off the field. If we let Luai go, I feel like we would lose that connection between Luai/Crichton/To’o.
Unfortunately the current Dragons squad doesn't have one player that fits that mold for me. In the past, sure.
If you'd asked me a few years ago I'd have said Aubo.
ken maumalo but its not irrational 😍
Kieran Foran.....

It was Turpin a few seasons ago.
I know there's superstar fullbacks like Teddy, pap etc but i would never trade King Gutho
As much as Damien Cook is a meme he's one of the best defenders in the comp. His running game has dropped off but that's because teams are making concerted efforts to stop it. He may throw 1 too many crash balls but when it works it makes our forwards look fantastic.
Drinky, Cowboys games just aren’t as fun to watch if he isn’t out there
Ronaldo Mulitalo, wouldnt want any other winger. Plays with so much passion and its just such a great guy off the field too
You give me an inch and I’ll take a yard telling you how Cody Walker not being a big game player is the most undeserved reputation of all time
Cody Ramsey, just love his attitude.
Man I don't know if there's even anybody like that at the club at the moment. So much of our team has been turned over, there's only like 3 guys who were even in the team before COVID.
i will defend fotuaika with my life even if he regressed this year
Jayden Brailey. Excellent workrate, fantastic service out of dummy half and is a leader. Shame injuries have plauged his time in Newy so far but when fit, we look so much better.
There’s no fb in the comp I would want over Edwards, so yeah I guess that’s irrational
