I wouldn't write off the Broncos winning tomorrow, they have some dangerous players. They don't have the halves yet to be a genuinely top class team but they can score a few points.

Actually I thought i was spot on... the Broncos halves were appalling I feel sorry for the Broncos pack... they work out a good set and then the half puts in a terrible kick... or gets caught in possession Edited September 15, 2019 by Dunbar "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

Dunbar Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Felt sorry for Payne Haas and David Fafita this morning. The two teenagers were the only decent performers for Brisbane while the older heads were useless.

hunsletgreenandgold Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) Not sure if people have seen this little segment that ran on Fox league earlier this week. Great interview that gave a little more insight into John Bateman and what drives him. Becoming a huge star down there and I for one couldn't be happier for him. https://www.foxsports.com.au/video/league/league-life/bateman-on-league-life!747327 Edited September 19, 2019 by hunsletgreenandgold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damp squib Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I have to admit I had my doubts about whether Bateman would make it in the NRL but I've been well and truly proved wrong. I really hope English backs start to have similar success soon... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For an English back to have success in the NRL very soon will depend upon either Brett Morris or Joseph Manu or Latrell Mitchell being injured for the Sydney Roosters in the preliminary final next week, and also the Sydney Roosters winning their way into the Grand Final. In that case Ryan Hall will certainly get a call up for the Roosters and play in the NRL Grand Final. Otherwise we will have to wait until 2020, and hope that Ryan Hall gets a chance with the Roosters then, or that Kallum Watkins can improve his form greatly, especially in defence.

hunsletgreenandgold Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Only 5 of the possible 7 English players in the final line ups with Sutton for Canberra and G Burgess for the Bunnies missing out. Quite sad if Burgess didn't get to play in what might have been his final game should the Bunnies lose. Can't wait for this one! Interesting they've moved Sam from originally being named in the back row to now starting prop - I wonder if that's to avoid him getting involved too much with the Bradford boys haha.

Dunbar Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Just as a bit of very bizarre trivia, I think Souths might be the tallest team I have ever seen. Checking their profiles on Wikipedia, the average height of the 17 today (including halfbacks) is 6 feet 2 inches.

Dunbar Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I wonder if Sutton is in with a shout for the final. I wasn't convinced by Lui and Guler off the bench for the Raiders to be honest. Although it would be a brave call for Stuart to change the team. I just hope for both his own and the Raiders sake that Papalii escapes punishment for the tackle he was placed on report for. 3 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

I just hope for both his own and the Raiders sake that Papalii escapes punishment for the tackle he was placed on report for. Strange one why he got left out over Guler anyway - he did have an injury about 3 weeks back which never really got mentioned by Canberra but I saw on Instagram his leg in a temporary splint. So not sure if that what's kept him out and they just keep naming him in reserves to give every opportunity if he is fit?
