Like Boyd, Blair will get clowned on for going around too long. Was a rep quality player with Melbourne and Brisbane, but had terrible stints with Tigers and Warriors

I can see him going around as a trainer. Wonder if he'll join Kearney at the Storm.

I still don't think Verrills is in our best 17, especially with the emergence of Tupouinua and Faamausili this year

8.JWH
9.Friend
10.Tauk
11.Cordner
12.Crichton
13.Radley
14.Liu
15.Tupouinua
16.Butcher
17.Collins
Then Faamausili and Verrills as depth options

You may well be right, but the odds are that at any given time at least one of those nine middle forwards are injured, in which case it seems Robinson likes having someone that can play Hooker.
There was a lot of talk from Robinson early season about rotating Friend and Verrills minutes (prior to his injury) and even Friend seemed to think it was a good idea to add some longevity to his career - unless that has changed, then it still seems too much of a shadow over that position (especially for a 7 point? upside).
I like Friend though, if I thought he would get 80 every week and was a good chance to stay injury free, I'd be locking him in - but just can't see it

The system is broken. The ref is pleading for Tyrone to make an official complaint after being visibly upset telling him what was said. I can't imagine how he was feeling. He didn't want to be there.

As soon as the allegation is made, the game should stop.
Randall was basically lying on top of Barnett when it happened so he'll have heard what was said.

It's disgusting and embarrassing that this has to happen to our players.

Meanwhile, the Dragons employee Anthony Griffin as a head coach.

That's messed up. I hope they capture audio of it and give him a life ban.
Surely, they've got to get serious and draw a line in the sand.

Morning mate MMMOORRRNNNIIINNNGGGGGGGGGGG WWWOOOHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hope Ivan knows what he is doing with his resting decisions.

So its official Roosters can't win the comp.

RCG ruled out so hopefully J. Paulo as the main prop will play increased mins. Also Field is out too.

Life ban is probably a little over the top but he'll miss a number of weeks and hopefully be attending some counselling/education.
Strange thing to say from a guy in a team with so few white faces.

Wonder if he'll do a Joel Thompson: "OH no, you misheard me! I clearly said "You're trapped, cunt!"

Pretty unlucky for Tolman getting injured in warm up and missing last game for Dogs

Got a nearlysport.com dynasty team that has been carving up all year, and won the minor premiership in a canter. But up against Alex Johnston and Cody Walker in the Grand Final, so looks like its choke time

We can commiserate together. my undefeated Nearly team was up 18-0 after Thursday (thanks Kyle Feldt!) but is down 18-43 now - Brimson, Walker and Rabbitohs as his team kicker. I think I’m going full 2007 New England Patriots and finishing the year with an 18-1 record.

Luai has turned into one of my favourite players. Love the way he runs and plays with a lot of heart.

I guess Luke Thompson is missing the first month of next season then

Okunbur suspected ACL, Tuipulotu Katoa on. Brother of Sione. The Sharks one, not the one also on the bench for the Dogs.

I’m literally the only person watching the game yeah?

Just tuned in not long ago mate.

Nah mate, just minimal posting it looks like.

Cleary captainers worried yet?

surely katoa was onside with the penrith deflection
