The Silver Fern

@ACT-Crusader said in NRL 2025:

@bayimports I think we have a problem on the inside. Firstly, we haven’t had decent defending halves for a while. Then it’s been a bit hit and miss in the centres. Dallin has that tendency I agree, but I don’t think it’s too different to how Vatuvei used to defend.

I found it interesting that we didn't have many examples of this happening while he was out injured and arguably you would think Taine and Kosi would be worse. But we weren't. Kosi still had problems turning but we didn't often get beaten on the outside. Instead we might still have a defensive gap in the centres but it is harder to get through there, than an open wing. I think it is a big reason why we have conceded a lot more since his return.

Tannah Boyd?

Yuck

When I first saw him play, I told my mate that he'd be the starting QLD 7 one day.

Hasn't quite worked out.......yet haha.

Maybe the Warriors can work their magic on him like we did turning Barnett into an Origin player. 😉

We're as likely to do a Townsend on him where he's mud for us and then goes on to win premierships with other clubs.
Ha, my mate then went on to say the exact thing in regards to Barnett. Hope he goes well and is more James Maloney instead of Jeff Robson.

@canefan yes, son of "Siro", younger brother of Curtis

Not as big as his old man but I’d say more skilful than him. Siro was a man mountain in league.

A Tigers legend.

Yeah @Sneakdefreak you surely are on the payroll. Well we should be able to afford you now we’ve offloaded SJ.

Heard from a sauce that there might be some controversy coming our way

We've missed on controversy so far so we're due ... it seems weird you saying 'our/we' for a team not from Canterbury. It would likely be impossible to select a Kiwis team of players with the links to Canterbury.

It’s a big year for me. The Warriors are having their 25th anniversary and it happens to coincides with my own 25th anniversary of my first ever throw the remote at the TV moment....

@raznomore said in NRL 2019:

The latest doing the rounds is a current star of the NRL has got a 17yo up the duff

Stating the obvious here - while controversial, at least that's not illegal (making the assumption it was consensual), not like a most other off season league controversies....

as if we needed another lesson about recording yourselves doing 'fun' stuff... pretty shit that someone is trying to drag these guys down so many years after the fact. Bit of a non-event and if anyone is surprised by the antics then .... not much you can do for em!

The Hayne Plane is back at Parramatta and already bringing the good scandals. He's been accused of rape while he was living his dream as a 49er in the NFL.

I expect to see Cleary named coach with Stacey Jones as his assistant for the RLWC (If Ivan doesn't get a HC role in 2017).
