Easts will rip Brothers a new one in the forwards. They are considerably better. Brothers, through their early success through the season, over relied on aggression and psyche, but no one really gives a fuck anymore and have figured out that despite maximum effort that they always put in they...

Like who ?

The thing is .....I can't see Carsen Patu having a professional future as a 6 or 8 . I could as a 1 though. @D"Lite Full. I understand your point about Bryant but I wouldn't call him shy. He's not in the mould of a perceived "power" 6 or 8 that in a lot of cases hide under that guise when in...

Yes aware of Lynagh and Muir's clubs ....copy and paste mistakes with Lachlan Kerr from Wests previously in at 10 and Taj Annan from Easts Anyway .....a young guy like Jeeps Tualima is in the conversation at lock , 6 and 8 as well and with regard to Mataafa I just haven't seen him this season ...

So with everybody available ..... Team 1 1. Carsen Patu (Bond) 2. Max Craig (Easts) 3. Angus Ward (UQ) 4. Taine Riori (Easts) 5. Lachie Shaw (UQ) 6. John Bryant (Souths) 7. Jonathan Burnett (UQ) 8. Leandro Tupi (Souths) 9. Kalani Thomas (UQ) 10. Harry McLaughlin Phillips (Souths) 11. Lukas...

In terms of "best of 20's" chat ( above ) based on 80% of what I have seen ( IE : actual form or dominance through the season so far ) and 20% on unique positional upside / flashes of dominance I'd go with : Team 1 1. Carsen Patu (Bond) 2. Max Craig (Easts) 3. Angus Ward (UQ) 4. Taine Riori...

^Fair enough. Then there is no place for that.

Could also be a Mummy - Daddy hurt feelings post not realising that Little Johnny is not in School anymore. Having said that, if what was carried on with involved personal verbal abuse under the guise of "being an old school tough c- - - " then that is not OK. There is a way to motivate your...

^That makes more sense. Grant Andersen is very well thought and regarded by all and sundry as a quality operator.

I wonder whether Souths can storm home down the stretch - and I think they can and claim a finals spot. Harry McLaughlin Phillips at 10 pretty much clowned UQ as he did what he liked through the midfield and won the game for Souths last week. Like Norths, Souths were the better team v UQ in...

On Lion's point on Jeeps , that's all cool and those guys are all fair players. I've always thought Ethan Lucy is a lot better than people realise. But Confucius's points are good ones . That's a lot of talent to lose out of your front row and Geraghty was the guy for me that made that back...

Also on the Easts thing and the recent phenomena of BBC guys there .........they were all the boarding house guys from 2019 and 2020. Probably started with their Colts Coach's heavy involvement in the pathways and these cohorts coming through 15's and 16's and (I'd speculate) probably started...

^Not to take away from your hincty sweets, however, not so much a sledge on Norths as much as it is the truth on UQ. And that is they aren't very good and I think will miss the 4 or just scrape in In 80% of their games this year they haven't been able to get past 19 points And Norths should...
