The NRL Season of 2016
-
<p>As I was in NZ this weekend I listened to a bit of Radiosport, FFS that station is basically the media arm of the Warriors. All day they had interviews that were basically just justifications for not playing Tui, from the coach to Doyle to former players.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tui is on a 3 year contract but that doesn't really mean squat if your coach doesn't want to play you.</p> -
So how are they spinning the justification?

<p>Big wingers to cart the ball up, always going to introduce in the last 20 minutes, but big wingers to cart the ball up, underpowered forward pack so need big wingers to cart the ball up, they couldn't find a spot for him, they brought him on eventually, he'll be playing 6 next year so fine to leave him on bench this year, other clubs leave players on the bench. Rinse. Repeat.</p> -
<p>Fucking bullshit. The Warriors aren't rich enough in talent to leave a player of his ability watching games for long periods. Find a spot. </p>

<p>Totally agree. If he's Leuluai's replacement, have them play half each or something.</p> -
Agree he should be playing more but where would he fit in at the moment? Centre? Fullback and move Fusitua to the wing?
-
Lolohea and Fusitua can rotate the wing and fullback position. Both have good chemistry with Ayshford as well. Odd man out is The Beast. Put him in the forwards or trade him to Superleague.
-
The Farah saga continues at Wests. Jason Taylor wants to move the club on from the 2005 era so has relegated Farah to NSW Cup while retiring Dene Halatau plays at dummyhalf for the remainder of the season. Thinks Tedesco & co play better without Robbie. Expect Farah to get his way (again).
-
<p>and he's copping heat for a perfectly reasonable, and probably accurate, selection. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>That stupid bald fuck James Hooper reckons the Tigers faithful would rather Robbie play his 250th at Leichhardt oval, than win the game. James Hooper is very wrong. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good move, Farah is not that good, and a cancer in a young side, get rid. Enjoy Super league Robbie.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The only down side is NSW might actually pick a competent hooker next year. </p> -

I thought there would have been some outrage on here over Gubb's seven week ban for what appeared an innocuous shoulder. Has he even been in trouble before?
-
<p>the process over his ban seems a bit fucked really...3 weeks, but will load it 2 weeks cos of your history and load it 2 further weeks for questioning our decision.</p>
-
Didn't realise Gubb had history. But still, seems harsh to me.

How the fuck do you get 7 weeks for that and Thaiday only gets 2 for dropping Paul Gallen on his head in origin -
