Thought I would start this since the Roosters look good this year and Souths are hopeless  Thanks for Keary Souths! Broncos to beat Cows tonight and Storm to win in the wet against NZ.

Guess your talking about Latrell Mitchell? The Inglis clone. Super strong for a 19yo, will only get better. That one on one steal was huge last night.

gordon was also bought to solve the goal kicking y good player in his own right. yep, latrell is lazy and needs to learn to stay in the game and position himself better at nrl level. he was lazy in holden cup as well apparently. natural talent. roosters have talent and points in them all over the park. Game management and closing out a lead might be there problem. class side though, big improvers this year. where is dale copley? If not injured and cant make squad...send him over to saints. good tough kid with skill. needs to protect his melon and stop charging in to tackle with it in the wrong spot. his only vice. dogs were good. have been beaten by two good sides. theyl get better and a win aint far off. they look a much better team this year despite the 0-2 record. |

Jujuno should be able to clear this up, being a referees ticket holder, but I thought that between held and playing the ball the ball wasn't in play, so touching the sideline between those things wasn't out. The touchie was right there looking at it ------------- |

Took Roosters in last man standing tonight so no we sit and wait to see what the other guy does. Here's hoping for an upset in the Panthers/Knights game tomorrow night as I'd expect him to go for Panthers since they are the shortest priced favs of the round. |

exactly right...you can step over the sideline getting to your feet, so long as you resume playing the ball in the playing field... it's actually a strange rule because if someone interferes with the person getting up to play the ball the infraction is of course valid... a bit contrary... ------------- Desert War, Rain Lover, Latin Knight, Hay List, Mustard...my turf heroes... |

At 33 retirement looks likely , he has a future at Fox sports as a presenter which he would do quite well at. But if he chooses to play on then there will be several clubs looking to see if they can convince him to go to their club . what would be his asking price ? 1m+ , and of those clubs who would have the space in their salary cap. ------------- Say nothing once why say it again |

Danger game for dragons v nth qld. no thurston or the gun hooker for cowboys....but i hope we dont drop off intensity thinking we have it in the bag, being at kogarah. saints forwards are winning games full stop. widdop getting plenty of praise...dont be fooled. watch widdop where its 50/50 in the forwards, or the game is on the line with 10-15mins to go. He is hopeless, he cant game manage. he'l play for himself. saints still have the slowest and worst kicking halves in the comp. Mcrone simply cant kick to save himself. widdop not much better. the tigers gifted widdop the other week. i see this .....since mary is not involved in recruitment, ian millward has pegged dugan as a center, not a FB. for one reason - to cut his asking price tag or force him out. centers are on less $. i would be looking to replace widdop too. maybe he stays if they cant find a replacement. I can see the argument to show dugan the door...big money for a FB who doesnt ball play and is injury prone. if they could get a tedesco...it would be better for the balance of the squad. but again...you dont punt players if you cant replace them. |
