    O'brien just doesn't seem to have been able to unlock Ponga's ball playing potential.

    This Newcastle side definitely has some more levels in them, potentially a bit of a dark horse in the back end of the season.

    Souths are just really shit. Healthy Tigers and decent reffing last week and we pump them.
     
  3. Hurricane JD Hurricane

    Souths will come on in the business end of the season. In cruise control at this stage of the season.

    Pretenders

    Eels will come back.
     
  6. AVA T Delonge

    Nah they're shit cunts who have been punching above their weight all season. Not impressed.
     
  7. Hurricane JD Hurricane

    What the hell is with Michael Jennings. He was really average for the last 5 yeas yet in 2020 hew has been the form centre of the league.

  10. AVA T Delonge

    Field just isn't it for the Eels. Just gets in the way or stiffles every play he is involved in outside broken field plays. Need Moses back asap.

    NZ and Tonga should be able to get up over Aussie quite frequently in the next few years

    Aussies 11 12 and 13 is pedestrian by modern day test match standards.
     
  12. Toolman TR Man

    Top 8 squad right there.
     
  13. morgieb MC Burridge

    Lose to the Dragons by 5 converted tries, then go on to beat the Eels. Right......
     
  14. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Bolded selections are truly horrible. Fox and Vaughan close to being bolded too.
     
  15. Julian BJ Taylor

    he’s a clone of late career Joel Thompson imo. Good solid, tough player but yeah he is nowhere near as good as his career shows imo.
     
  16. Julian BJ Taylor

    Eliesa Katoa and Kevin Proctor over Joe Tapine
     
  17. Julian BJ Taylor

    I watch Fox exclusively these days but those poor sods who don’t have it have Cowboys, Broncos and Titans on their tv in 3 of the next 4 TV games

    I chucked him in my fantasy team this year on the theory that Eels will be doing all they can to get the ball to Sivo, but Jennings is a bit of a hog that loves to step back inside, so should get plenty of ball.

    I think I've watch all of 80 minutes if Parra this year, but could that have something to do with it?

    Please feel with your heart what I am about to say because it won't make sense with your head.
    Tapine has a very high cieling, and has been soild in tests but underwhelming relative to the player he could be if he played to his potential, players like that in your line up are not conducive to having winning teams and teams where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. A team inspires itself. Tapine is so talented, supremely talented that he has been ale to be an elite player without reaching for his best. Where he goes from here is up to him. He is a rich man's pay cheque player. Can you "feel" my point as to why he is an ok pick for a test team but not an optimal pick?
     
  20. Hurricane JD Hurricane

    Who do you rate ahead of Morris at centre?

    Fox has considerable hype associated with him, but he is worth that hype.
