NRL 2018

@sneakdefreak Great stuff as usual.
Luke was at times the best player in the NRL this season. That game where he kicked a 40/20 and then scored in particular, I thought, signaled a player coming into his best years. But it was just a tease. Much like his mate Johnson.
I have started to think that this guy see something we do not. He sees sure fire openings only and he only takes them when its he absolutely sure he'll beat a man or break the line. Because he was about as much help to the cause as Roger after he was injured. It's so frustrating to see a guy that has the ability to be the best running half the game has ever seen, not run. I am happy we get to see him run around in 2019 because I am a fan and have been since day 1 but Im also happy that his contract is up in 2019 because I don't think he is the guy anymore.
I totally believe Kearney is the man for the job now but I am still mystified by his continued selection of Kata.
Couldn't understand why they didn't switch Fusitua to the left wing for the short kick offs/drop outs. The rugby ball is like a one-man cold to David Fusitua. David Fusitua's the only man catchin' it, David Fusitua's the only man comin' down wid it.
Well played to Mannering. Superb club man and servant to rugby league as a whole in NZ.
Not over happy with the seasons ending but very happy with the overall season.

Yes shocking he posted something that was informative and not just for laugh value... -

@virgil ha actually no. I started writing this on Monday and only just posted it today. It was in reference to Sneaks season ending post, the lemonade one.
But I'll be sure to read M4L's post as well. Im sure it's really good too....
His is the bestest..

I am loving us topping off loads and coming second in errors (ie second fewest). Aside from a few blow outs we are becoming a more reliable team. Echo earlier posts about SJ, Fucking Kata and some issues at Hooker and in the forward mix. I'd plug for a solid B overall now that my disappointment about losing to the Panthers has waned.
-
Ps RTS has grown heaps as capt. So stoked it hasn't fucked his game etc. I want to see him get a bit tougher in 2019, and get vocal about player performance. Still a bit too much 'the boys tried hard' etc.
-
Just saw the highlights of last nights game, pretty good comeback by the Panthers after looking pretty hopeless in the first 55-60 minutes.
Looked a small crowd.
-
Big crowd for the Bunnies 13-12 win over the Dragons however. Adam Reynolds shows the ABs how it's done by kicking THREE dropgoals to win it for Souths.
-
@sneakdefreak is the South's number12, John Sutton, the same guy that played stand off for them many times previously?
Remarkable skills to move to the second row if so

Yup same guy - he's been around forever but I'm still surprised that he's played over 300 NRL games as well.

I think he's always mixed it up between the back row and stand off.

What's strange is that he's the first Souths player to do so (edit: although that's probably just for the one club).

I like Sutton (one of the very very few Rabbits players). He was a very good 5/8 but much more effective in the back row with his ball playing ability and size. The emotion leading up to his 300th game was great celebrating with his family.
-
@act-crusader Hmmm he's a real enigma for me. He's always been a lazy defender for me as was shown with Ben Hunt's try last night. I thought he was gonna be a great player when he first came onto the scene in 2004.

If you can believe The Mole on twitter, it appears that the Warriors can't fit Isaac Luke under the cap and he will sign with the Newcastle Knights.
-
@sneakdefreak Are the Knights collecting Kiwi hookers?

Maybe they can send us one in return. Griffin will be good to fill the white guy spot vacated by Simon.
Who's coming in to the Warriors that's sucking up the cap that was free the past two years?

I'm not unhappy about that, especially if he was on good coin

He was basically the reason we made the finals.
