Yeah but the only bloke smart enough to handle it will be in the coaches box when most of it goes down. Reynolds, Klemmer and Liccha are ripe for the picking.
Mick has been pulling the same **** his whole career with a pretty good success rate.
Define 'success' what does it actually achieve for us? I love his passion and competitiveness but only the ****ty teams/players will by into the niggle and get distracted by the menace to the determinant of their own game. It can have the opposite effect by firing up the opposition.
Personally I would almost prefer he just cut out the niggle bs and focus on being the excellent player he is for our team. Upset em on the scoreboard, not in the ruck
i think its more of a case that if we win we prove ourselves as worthy of top 8 .... we are so far off the top 4 in terms of roster and quality i wouldn't get too excited..
dogs always tough and seem to be able to out work our forward pack most times... our kicking game will be "key" for us as without good field position it could get ugly..
Not throwing away the Titans and Warriors games would have us in the top 4 - strange game this NRL. We can handle ourselves against Roosters, Bunnies, Broncs ect. Melbourne have our measure though and granted it's all a different kettle of fish in the finals
Great news, if he is ready he has to come in for Boogy. I think we need the size of D fifita this week and I think Boogy has been a bit quite of late.
Or does flanno grow a set and drop gordon put barba to fullback and tupou comes onto the bench? Never in a million years but its the best move he could make.
Boogs had his best game against the Merge just 2 weeks ago. He was hardly given minutes against the Raiders
As for Toops being named on the extended bench I would suggest this is more of a courtesy out of respect to Toops that he is close to returning to the team, not something to suggest he would seriously be played
Taga named as starting prop?? surely we play him from the bench & Prior starts
