    Official Royce Hunt

    He didn’t call a press conference - he got asked a question and he answered it. Yes he could have said nothing but where is the fun in that. Has put some pressure on his own shoulders to do some damage though - will get a few extra pushes until he does enough damage to make them stop too

    In what way did he get run over for a try?

    Official 2023 NRL Round 4 Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs. St George Illawarra Dragons @ Jubilee Stadium Sunday 26th March @ 6:15pm

    Schuster was picked at 100% and had a cramp and NRL physio said cramp could cause heightened risk of reinjury. There is only so 100% someone can ever be until they get out there and do it. Medicos, scans and Nicho all say good to go, baseless caution is the only reason to keep waiting. Calf...

    This monstrosity of a 1996 bulldogs website shared on reddit https://web.archive.org/web/19980425185312/http://www.bulldogs.com.au/98season/defaultA.htm Couldn't get a Sharks one to load from that far back, here's 2000 though...

    2023 NRL Round 3 Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs. Canberra Raiders @ GIO Stadium Sunday 19th March @ 6:15pm

    I know we want our team to do better and happy for other teams to suck and I fully support that concept. Last weekend we scored four tries down edges, Raiders scored two down the middle and one down each edge. Against Eels we scored on (or because of) edge five times They scored through or...

    PODCAST Thread

    Not to keep disagreeing with you (I just like to think we are having conversations!) So far this season Talakai has run 201, 149, 167 And Teig has run 113, 131, 176 For Teig these are the 3rd most from our forwards, 5th most from forwards, 1st most from forwards So while I understand the...

    Yeah I think it becomes a much more versatile conversation in say, 12 months, even though he can't technically negotiate yet still. If he hasn't locked down the 6 you have the likes of Dearden, Doueihi, Foran, Gamble, Keary, Luai, Mam, Wighton, Boyd, Fogarty, ARey, Sexton and Chad all in their...

    2023 NRL Round 3 Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs. Canberra Raiders @ GIO Stadium Sunday 19th March @ 6:15pm

    That was an absolute masterclass in positioning. One of the best individual grand final performances you'll see and it was how to not be involved. I'm not even being that sarcastic haha, it takes some real game awareness and league smarts to dodge having to defend that hard. The only more...

    The fact I don't think the Cowboys would drop Chad to pursue Trindall doesn't mean I don't think he is a fantastic backup. If there was a league wide redraft of teams he'd go before some others who are starting right now IMO Sure, but how you rate him doesn't make him valuable to the Cowboys...

    Manly is an interesting one - Schuster is a bit of an unknown but they have Cooper Johns who played well this season, and Fainu. DCE can be one of the more dominant 7s. More chance they wait two years and strike if they can for a DCE replacement than value him to bring in right now. Titans...

    THE RUMOUR MILL - Player Movement

    You could very well be right, as per what I wrote above though, I disagree. I definitely don't think Roosters would value Trindall as a walk up start on a sizeable contract right now, at the expense of Walker. And they have cap magic to make it happen if they did. Similarly the fact you like...

    THE RUMOUR MILL - Player Movement

    To clarify My post is not about how we rate these players, although obviously it is influenced by my own opinion (of what clubs opinions would be), it is about whether the club would consider replacing that player with Trindall. I feel very strongly that Roosters would not drop Sam Walker to...

    Quite possibly, assuming Dykes is seen as a 1 then Puru would be his main competition for the 6 longer term. Some good potential there but a long way behind Trindall currently, I expect. His value at the moment is questionable I'd say Not better than DCE, Moses, SWalker, Hughes, Townsend...

    THE RUMOUR MILL - Player Movement

    I don't love the implication of wanting one of the players badly injured Also unless it actually made him a worse player you are just trading off less cash in his pocked for the team that signs him to get him at a more affordable price and put a better team around him. I don't like him very...

    Okay I've crunched the numbers on last weeks benches and the stats show that either the more minutes you give your bench the higher chance you will win, or the better your bench the more minutes you can give them Average 122 minutes played by bench, we were 16 minutes below average Average...

    A push in the back and then stay out of the way definitely looked a bit different to the Thaiday vs JWH vid above Still, whether he outsmarted Royce or just got lucky you can’t say he didn’t win that round. Our boys did lift their effort a bit with Royce off so it sparked a little life into us...
