Grants one of those players who thinks he’s cleverer than he is. Trying to be cute and ends up giving away more than he wins.

Thought Matautia deserves a mention for his early stint at prop. Considering he doesn’t like playing there he was very good. I’d also agree on Stephens but like Saints more fluid attack how much of it was down to Cas being poor. We won’t know until a few more games are played.

Scott Gibbs he was the ideal foil for Newlove on the other side and was developing into a really good RL player. Would’ve been great for him to finish his career in RL to see how good he could become.

If Hull/Myler can’t see Hardaker is done they are in trouble.

This is why any team in the RLWC should have a minimum number of players from their domestic comp/teams. Otherwise it just becomes an NRL WC.

Both as you’d want to know how the fire started but pushing someone downstairs in the event of a fire is incredibly stupid.

Not sure how it will work with his uk record but I can definitely see the Aussies completely ignoring that and only taking into account his NRL disciplinary record. Which would give him a clean slate to work from.

It’s not necessarily about your body landing on the player although that does sometimes make things worse. Just the act of grabbing a player and then pulling him down by taking your weight off your feet and using that to drag the player down is enough.

As far as I’m aware Makinson is a done deal if so they are probably only after one of the others. Unless they think DWZ could play fullback.

Great kick.

Yeah and I think he’s made for the NRL if he goes there.

Fair play.

Think you may be resting a few next week to be fresh for the semi.

Great to look at the top off SL anyone out of the top 9 could go on and win silverware this year.

For all his positives there’s a negative to go with it. Having to defend outside him must be a nightmare for a winger.

That’s garbage how can it be back to one and not a knock on in that situation.

He did knock on the ball stuck to his hand and bounced up. They didn’t re show the Saints one I’m sure they would’ve if there was anything controversial.

I agree I thought it was a terrible decision to bin him I just think that’s how it ended up there.

Because of the force he either had to say no penalty or back the ref and sin in him.

I think because the ref made a big thing of it by stopping the game forced the VRs hand. He couldn’t go back and say no penalty ptb.

I’m not sure there’s much wrong with that

Impressive signing

Oh right is this going to be every thread now.

The reason Wolf said it was possible for Lomax to play through it was it was so bad it was impossible to make it worse. The idea is the pain is so bad eventually the pain receptors make it easier and easier to deal with.

Johnny Lomax played the back half of the 2022 season with a ruptured bicep so it is doable. I said at the time he didn’t get the appreciation he deserved for playing through that.
