    True but it's leading the team in a key position of the spine that gets the team there. Or Cronk was just lucky not to play alongside the crud JT endured ?

    I spend way too much time thinking and occasionally writing about stuff like this. So here’s my two cents:

    I think Cronk is a great player and doing it away from Smith/Slater will cement his legacy, even though his current team is also pretty stacked. Maybe the best measure of his value is the time Qld lost an Origin series in that run was when he was injured.

    But I don’t think he’s on JTs level, who could carry an average team on his back and just produce something to turn a game as required. In attack obviously but even in defense, where he was meant to be a weak link, the amount of cover tackles or mopping up a kick when he shouldn’t have been able to get there is phenomenal.

    You could also argue JT doesn't win Dally M's if he had Smith/Slater around him taking points. You only have to look as far as RTS to cement that argument.

    Storm player talked about earlier is being reported as Harry Grant.
    The story they're going with is that he "just had a nasty fall".

    Whatever did happen, doesn't really concern me. Storm won't be too happy about it, I would assume.

    Grant would be unrecognisable to most rugby league fans, seems a bit weird that he was found on a random doorstep in Melbourne and within an hour it was all over twitter..

    Apparently Madge has flagged Josh Reynolds for the starting hooker role next season. Probably another to add to the list as he's only 333k at the finish of this season. Could flop though.

    I think Tigers are on the decline... would like to stay away from as many players as possible, unless they're certain starters all year (ie. Brooks). Only Tigers players I am currently contemplating are Garner and Mikaele.

    How many players have won a premiership in two different positions, specificially once in the halves and once in the forwards?

    Black Widow is likely to do it this weekend.

    If Raiders win this week they will be the team that has won a grand final at longest odds, which is $3 (TAB)

    don't mean to burst your bubble, but Aubbs was a second-rower as per the final team-list last year.

    Luke Lewis wing 2003, 2nd Row 2016

    Tonie Carroll, centre 2000, lock 2006

    Fittler 1991 centre, 2002 five eighth

    Inglis and Jamie Lyon have done it too

    Same with Berrigan and Thurston (and others) if you count from bench to starter as a position change

    What odds were Newcastle in 2001?

    Tigers in 2005 were over 100-1 during the season, but were favourites come grand final day

    I remember Darren Lockyer. Fullback in 2000 and Five Eighth in 2006.

    Hey Mate,

    This is for the grand final game only.. not from the start of the year.

    The Tigers odds were for interest rather than a counter example.

    Knights odds was a genuine question though. I would have thought Parra would have been bigger favourites than this year's Roosters. Couldn't find the odds on Google though

    I don’t think tigers are on the decline
    Tigers would’ve made the 8 if Marsters could kick better, warriors kicked a field goal in round 17, referees etc.
    Tigers actually finished with a better F/A than Brisbane

    There are a few good options from the Tigers for next year. Brooks, Nofoaluma, Garner, Momirovski, Talau and Musgrove are all worth considering
