DoubleD

Thought Ben Currie was immense yesterday, particularly in the second half. Really stood up and dominated and controlled the middle of the pitch

Harry Newman perhaps for 26

No because you are so far off the mark and this is a thread about Morgan Gannon

Wow, such a bad take

Chalk and cheese. Gannon is going to test himself in the top comp Galvin is going from a club on the rise to a club that is hitting rock bottom, having been badly advised by an unscrupulous agent, criticising the coach and falling out with the players. Said agent being the sole reason the Dogs walked away from doing a deal

I can see the logic in playing Mitchell at stand off. He has a great passing and kicking game. I can see no logic in playing Gray at stand off and Mitchell at full back. Mitchell doesn’t have the fitness to play full back effectively enough, particularly from a defensive perspective and I’ve not seen anything from Gray to suggest he’s any more than just a runner of a ball and he’ll likely be targeted heavily in the defensive line

Yes they look good https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/sport/nrl/first-look-at-40m-redesign-of-leichhardt-oval-20250422-p5ltgj.html

Looks like it will be a big upgrade though. I can’t remember Penrith ever hosting 22.5k at their stadium. It seemed to be sold out in the high teens

What will be the capacity of the Panthers ground when done? Is it 2027 before they get back there?

Not correct, Leeds have played 3 and won 3 this season, including comprehensively beating Wigan

I think he’s trying too hard tbh. Time off Origin would probably do him good but don’t see him losing his Broncos jersey unless he gets injured. They weren’t helped by one of the most overrated players in NRL having a stinker even by his standards. Mr B Hunt that is. Another of their overrated players was anonymous too Mr S Cobbo. The Wahs really should’ve won that more comfortably if they had a goalkicker.

Genuine question, how sustainable are North wales crusaders? They don’t own their ground, so have limited revenue streams. Seem to play at several different grounds a season and train in Widnes. They clearly have a loyal fan base but crowds aren’t big and it must be difficult generating support when there’s no base for them to create solid foundations in the community

It was clear he knocked on

It didn’t look like he grounded it, even after that

If you watch it again, I think you’ll have a different view. He lost control of the ball even before he was held up. Thaler missed that

Good enjoyable start to rivals round

Ridiculous taking so long, it’s a clear knock on

Lino lost that ball in the act of scoring, should be a knock on

Shouldn’t that have been a knock on by Simbekan? The ball was still in play and the ref hadn’t blown the whistle

Castleford playing like a SL side. Bet they wish they could get a replacement for Asi though. Wakefield the masters of their own downfall, shocking completion rate and poor discipline. Not helped by only having 1 half back

It would account for the increase in attendances somewhat but not the 52% increase in tv audience or large increase in video views or impressions. I’d like to understand those figures a bit more because I find them somewhat hard to believe on the face of it as they’re staggering increases

He’s looked at a shadow of his former self these past few years. He's looked a spent force, but Parra look stale as a side so perhaps a fresh start might reinvigorate him. Matterson would be a great pick up for any SL side

I expect it will come down to how much funding each of those governments is going to commit to the game to support in parallel with the IRL

Kenya will be in the mix. Don’t think Cameroon will be

Not a patch on Amone on current form
