In a huge change for the Roosters, they have picked up a free agent.
They have signed The Chad to cover for the loss of Luke Keary. Coboys fans will not mourn this loss, Clifford is the better half. Bad news for the Pride though.
-
Also both Rugby union converts cleared (released early from union) to start NRL and can start immediately
and the best news of the week, Kent fired lol
-
@bayimports looool so long Paul. There would be so much more sympathy if you didn't get fired for the EXACT thing you built a career on getting indignant about.

Clifford looks better this year, young half finally maturing
-
It appears Paul Kent does not agree with is sacking and is off to FairWork.

5 in a row now for Souths. Wayne Bennett has made a massive difference since confirming his return.
-
That was a desperately poor game in shit conditions.
The Eels were terrible and made the Spuths defense look like The Storm.
Latrell being on is so fucking good to watch. He's come back in absolutely ripping touch.
-
At the same time, 6 weeks ago, the Eels would have run in a score against that Rabbits mob. Their attitude towards the defensive side of things has changed out of sight, and guys who stunk up the joint earlier in the season such as Chee Kam, Kennar, Milne, Keppie etc are really starting to lift.
Nice to see them steer away from loading up the left religiously like they had done for many seasons.

Spuths? Typo or is it a new nickname?

Either or is good for me.
Off to the Broncos v Panthers game tonight. I hope the Broncos actually turn up so it's a decent game

Should be Broncos need to start winning like us just to make finals, might be enough to wake them up

Well fuck.
The Warriors were equally pretty bloody impressive and disappointing at the same time, while going down to the Doggies in golden point.
After ALL of our back three got injured we played most of the second half with RTS at FB, Walker and Niukore in the centres, Pompey and Capewell on the wings. As our last sub standing, poor old Feddy Lussick at about 80kg dripping wet had to play as a middle forward to give Barnett and AFB a quick breather.
It was gutsy a performance as you’ll see, and we were out on our feet for most of that second half, but we did have 2 or 3 opportunities to have a crack at a field goal in the last 5 minutes of regular time, but I think 2 of the occasions we just totally fucked up and didn’t even get to the kick.
We also had one partially charged in extra time, sending it just wide of the posts.
So good to even be in that position with backs against the wall, but disappointing not to be able to execute.
And for what it’s worth, I think they should swap RTS and CNK around. RTS just seems to create a bit more at the back than CNK…. CNK can easily take his high effort, low error rate game into the centres and do well.
-
Broncos v Panthers was a shit game with a couple of absolutely cracking tries to break the monotony. Corporate box at Suncorp is awesome though.
Saturday was shit. Warriors brave, but we had what, 3 chances to win and missed them all, can't call us unlucky after that.
Melbourne made harder work of the Tigers than most expected.
Then the fucking Cowboys lost in GP as well. Val Homes is the luckiest man alive today, as he bradburys his way in to another Origin jersey. -
Also, in today's edition of "M4L knows fuck all about footy" Billy Slater watched Qld's pack get absolutely owned in game 2 and thought "i know what we need, the same forwards but a back on the bench". Whose wife has David Fifita fucked? Capewell shouldn't be starting for the Wahs let alone Qld. Same with old man Kaufusi.
When Latrell went down i thought we were a chance, now it looks like we are relying on Suncorp being the difference.

Good fight from our side though, didnt think we even deserved to be in it after we lost our entire back three to injury.
Roosters keep on rolling and Newcastle look a little bit better (although still tried to lose it) with KP back
-
@bayimports Knights probably lucky they were playing the attackless Raiders

There is a rumour doing the rounds about Walsh and Fifi not getting on and Billy siding with Walsh, have no idea how accurate of rubbish it is, but its circulating on SM.
I thought losing Latrell would be a big loss for NSW, but then Billy picked Capewell, NSW will be excited

Both us and the Bulldogs were shit, but I thought we did well to manage all our on field changes, but how can we not kick a drop goal or for that matter finish off a number of attacking chances (Bulldogs the same).
This was an annoying game to watch, made more annoying by the result, the highlight being the young forward's spectacular run to almost seal the match.
