I think they lost 4 games while he was out but, in 3 of those losses, DCE was also missing. I think the shakiest team in the finals is Parra. They played the finals teams in 10 games this year and lost 7. This also shows how soft their draw was, that they only played 3 other top-8 teams twice.

Parra and Manly don't stand any chance in the play offs. I didn't think Manly would do anything in play offs before T Turbo injury but they definitely won't now. Cronulla are the dark horses for me. They've struggled this season with horrendous injuries to key players. If they had the likes of Moylan, Graham, Johnson etc fit for all their games, they'd be competing for the top 4.

Graham Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 Moylan apparently could be brought back for the next match. Johnson has shown good form since his return mid season. Worrying that he pulled up in pre match last weekend. If he’s out for a week or two or more that could be a big handicap.

Graham Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 Canberra’s Hudson Young has pleaded not guilty to eye-gouging Warrior Adam Pompey, and will front the judiciary on Tuesday night. Young was handed a five-match ban for a similar incident earlier on this season, and if found guilty again could serve one of the biggest suspensions in NRL history.

Tigers might be interested in a spare 9 because I'm not sure Jacob Liddle will be ready for the start of next season. Of course Issac Luke is available and we probably will still have Benji and Josh Reynolds so maybe we'll just use one of them until Liddle comes back. We already have Soni Luke at hooker in the NSW Cup team so maybe we'll have a pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleD Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Rumour has it that Jordan Rapana is off to Japanese Rugby Union at the end of the year. He’s 30 now and Canberra are under salary cap pressure after giving CNK a big pay rise and bringing in Williams. He’s played yawnion before and is being offered big bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy , they’re judicial process is so convoluted and not really fit for purpose. No way Sam should miss a final for that , but Taupau should have been sent off and got a few weeks , he knocked that poor bloke into Disneyland with direct contact to the mush 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmduck Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Hudson Young got 8 weeks. JWH's charge was dismissed, as it should have been. Liam Knight fell into JWH and the damage was caused y the head clash with the other tackler. I didn't even think it was worth a penalty at the time.
