Paisami has been pretty good this year. I think he was a player who plateaued under Thorn but now seems to be progressing again. His run/pass/kick decisioning has been questionable in the past but was pretty good last night. Defensive reads seemed pretty good too. With Henry, O’Connor, Flook...

Most important thing tonight by a long way is that we got the win. Second thing was getting a bonus point. Not pretty at all, but important in terms of trying to get as high up the table as possible. Need to find about 3 more gears v the Blues though.

Intersting you mention Nonggorr can play both sides. As far as I can recall he has only ever played THP for the Reds. At what level has he played LHP?

Don’t feel selfish mate - I’m really hoping they win tonight so we aren’t talking next week about how bad the season turned too.

Yeah - but he put far more force info if. If Mafi had move his head forward when it happen it would have ended very badly.

Very different amounts of force. They were more a rub than anything. Still dumb and rightly punished, but almost no chance of causing actual injury.

Yeah - I do. But I still disagree with the premise that you’re making. He deliberately head butted someone. Intent is clear. We may not know if he intended to knock him unconscious or if he intended to head butt him in the pec so as to not do any serious damage but any pro footballer who throws...

Wednesday lunch and no thread up until now? Looks like confidence has been rocked. Both teams need a win and neither inspiring much confidence at the moment but that can change quickly enough. For me the Reds have had been making a lot of needless errors in all their games - even when they...

I’m sorry - with regards to the comments he wasn’t trying to head butt him in the face, that’s piss poor. He deliberately tried to head butt him. Trying to claim some moral leverage because he didn’t go for maximum damage is a croc in my view. That said, what’s done is done. I do agree that...

This is the Roosters. The rules don’t apply.

I’m against the general principal that it should be outcome rather than intent that drives the sentencing. I’ve no problem with McReight’s punishment as, while the immediate impact of the tackle may not seem much the whole driving force behind the focus on lowering the tackle is because of the...

I agree he’s been good. I think he is a likely candidate for lock for the Wallabies. But it just seems odd to me for a tight forward with his experience that he is still going in high. Maybe there is a perfectly good reason and the coaching staff are happy with it - but seems to me he still...

I’ve always thought Salakaia-Loto could be anything. But he still hasn’t fixed his height info contact. If he fixed that I reckon he’d be devastating.

Hooper must by one of the most discussed players on the forum. I don’t really want to start another back and forwards on him and I certainly don’t want to knock the guy. But I’d assume he is very unlikely to be a Wallaby this year. If he proves me wrong, good luck to him.

Well he was out of form last year and has been tailoring his training this year to 7s. I’m not going to say he’s not an option but I would think guys like Wright or Gamble would be more likely.

I think he’s been okay rather than great. I am more coming at it from the angle of not moving Petaia from wing. I’ve always thought Petaia had all the attributes to be a great 13 but the reality is he has never looked as good there, apart from the off bright spot, as he has as a winger.

I dunno. Our top level picks are probably Frost, Holloway, Salalakai-Loto, Neville. Rodda was as probably better than all of them but hard to say where he is at. Next level is Smith, Hooper, Swain, Canham, Williams then you have guys like Uru, Hanigan and Lee-Warner who are more 6s at test...

I’d be tempted to start Creighton or Annan at 12 and move Paisami out 1 or just start Annan at 13 and leave the back 3 as is. I’d also bring Nonggorr back into the starting team. IMO JTA hasn’t been as good starting as he was off the bench whereas I don’t think we are getting as much from...

I give a fuck. That’s why I asked the question. If you don’t then scroll past. It’s not that much of an imposition really.

I thought the commentators said that the shot clock had 8 seconds longer than the game clock. But what you’ve written makes a lot of sense and I’m sure Berry confirmed there were two seconds left. I thought he was confirming when the kick went over but maybe he was just confirming in terms of...
