He was good wasn't he!?

 

[Burgey]

Remember though guys, only one team really understands what Origin is all about.

Look how good he went when playing with his mates again. God he must regret going to the mange. Kid is a natural centre forced into being the creator of everything in a woeful club outfit with a renowned recidivist criminal fan and player base

 

[Shady Slim]

natural centre my ass lol he’s already arguably in the top five sixes in the comp

 

[mr_mister]

Yeah, I'd group him with Munster, Luai, Walker and Brown

I reckon the roosters or manly might take a shot at him when he's off contract at the end of next year. He's better than whatever the doggies are paying him

That may or may not be the case, but the kid is a natural centre. He's better there than he is at six.

he's wasted on an island in the centres though, you want to have him getting as much ball as possible imho

we've got the coin to re-up him too tbf, we've only got him on the cheap because we signed him before he took off

 

[mr_mister]

Hel be a big fish in a small bond at the dogs, they're still not making the 8 anytime soon despite the last few weeks

Your only other star player is a winger

 

[Burgey]

Why would he want to stay there though? Seriously, there are a number of other clubs in a better position to build towards the eight than the flea bags. He'll end up belted out of the game if he stays there because they literally have no other players anyone has to worry about targeting.

And they're just the most awful sporting organisation in Australia. Worse than Collingwood, the ARU, the FFA. Everyone. Genuinely would have been the best thing to ever happen to the sport if they'd been turfed in/around the time of Super League. They're a blight on the sport.

brother i’m not migara bait this bad isn’t gonna work

with kikau and mahoney coming next year we will make the four imho, and we’ve got that sweet sweet laundy money to come in as a top up

 

[mr_mister]

Kikau is rocks and diamonds and Mahoney has been kinda subpar this year. I'd move Addocarr to fullback, even if he's not a natural one or whatever his ability is wasted on the wing. Can't believe Dufty got such a long stint there lol, he's useless

Now the tigers securing Ipap, that's a big deal!

 

[Burgey]

I think the biggest issue with Mahoney's game atm is he often passes too long from dummy half, and does so usually after taking a step. It's fine if you're on the back of a line break, but it otherwise gives the defensive line time to get up in the face of the ball runners. He's done it more this year than in the past, and it's been a sizable factor in those games when Parra has played too laterally. When he's shortened it up and had the forwards running onto a flat pass, Parra's game goes to another level.

 

[mr_mister]

Btw would you guys be keen for another rugby league draft? From the last ten years this time rather than the 90s. Last one was pretty fun I thought

On the plus side, Brown and Moses are legit top 5ers in their position now imo. So your spine is mostly working well

 

[Burgey]

Yeah why not mate? Would be enjoyable. Certainly won't drag on given how few people seem to follow it here.

Yeah, it's a shame Mahoney is going. Gutho been a bit rocks and diamonds this year. Mae a few uncharacteristic errors of late, but still solid.

Am a bit concerned the hooker we've picked up for next year is coming off back to back ACLs though. Not great, though he's been a good player in the past.

 

[the big bambino]

Yeah, I'd group him with Munster, Luai, Walker and Brown

Which one?

 

[mr_mister]

Which one?

Cody.

 

[the big bambino]

Cody.

Fair enough but I think you can rate Sam with that group too.
