2024 NRL Season

The fact we didn't have Dominic Young, Billy Smith, JWH, Conor Watson & Angus Crichton all not playing in that game bodes well for the season.

Thought we looked very good but spine still should've created more - get some benefit of the doubt given smaller field and only first round..

 

Bog is crazy talk. Have you actually watched him?

He's starting left centre, no doubt about it. And Brisbane would take him in a heart beat over your guy Cobbo at left centre.

 

There's no audio on the video, just a video of them arguing.

Seemed pretty obvious he said it as he never denied it when the ref put him on report nor did he deny it when asked about it post match. Also obvious he didn't say it with any malice because he didn't seem to understand what was going on and the consequence of what he said...

Anyone who's spent more than 10minutes in Western Sydney would understand why someone from there would be so numb to that type of language.

Doesn't make it right, he'll sit out a few games, pay a pretty hefty fine and probably have to do some social work but it's been way overblown.

Can't wait for the footy to kick off tonight to finally hear about something else.

 

Young is the first choice right winger. This has been obvious for a while now.

 

Agree with Knights who overperformed last year with a good run and Warriors who I think will regress this year, not as sure about Eels I feel they underperformed last year but could bounce back

 

So full strength do you leave Suaalii or Tupou out?

It's a good problem to have we finally seem to have some proper depth for once, last few years we've had a good starting side but when injuries inevitably come we end up with some pretty mediocre guys out there. Still not convinced on our halves pairing unfortunately.

 

Suaalii is the odd man out and rightly so. He was underwhelming at centre last year and the difference between him and Young is so minimal you just back Young because he's going to be there for the next 4 years. Suaalii will plug gaps whoever there are injuries and wouldn't surprise me if old man Toops gets a rest sometime throughout the year.

 

I didn't say he's that good. Just that he's better than Suaalii and Cobbo which again isn't just saying he's better than reserve grade level. I do think he's got a good level of potential at NRL level though, should he not do his ACL for the fucking fourth time.

Suaalii's performances at centre last year were very underwhelming, I've never thought his skill set translates well to centre. He was decent in Round 1 but not enough to change my opinion on him as a centre.
