Who else 69’d with the Peach?

I think it was just him and Townsend unfortunately...

Speechless at Tino's score, just wow. What a fucking disaster.

Wow. A lot of salt there. I suppose if you're going to rage quit, I'd be disappointed if there wasn't a massive blow up post first.

Green getting the vast majority of the KMs yesterday. Might score well if not almost having 50 put on them?

And how long can we hold Watson playing at half? Averages 42 there by the looks

Currently 876/14 so well under par really...Tino & Tupouniua the reason why. I've saved 2 trades this round & it will be tempting to sell them but both were a victim of unforeseen circumstances so I might give them another week to redeem themselves.

What happened to Lussick? Plenty of chat about him prior

Suspected broken arm

Broken arm mate. In the post-match presser Trent said they'd have to bring in a bloke from SG Ball as backup which is just insane. Up to our 4th and 5th string hooker now. I thought Marshke did great job, it's just him left and he's not even in the top 30 squad haha.

Insane to think they're already looking at <18 year olds for hooker after just 5 rounds of NRL!

I suppose Radley chips in there a bit as well? Keigrhan and Lam not too far away? Has Smith been spotted kicking the footy around in Bondi?

Mann should be back next week with Watson back to middle

Cheers for the info lads.

919 with Liddle and Laurie left. Might finally get 1,000 points but the team just never fires at the same time. BSmith disappointing. Didn’t see the game. What happened to him? Also, Watson never seems to score well in the halves. Put him back to the bench please coach. Now Walker is gone from my centres so I have to do something there. Averillo might be back. Cheers Slug.

BSmith was ill. Spewing when he came off, still went back on for a 2nd stint.

Watson doesnt have Fifita running at him next week

Bellamy's comments on Brandon Smith were pretty funny

He said had some minor flu symptoms but the way he was moping around at training you'd think he had pneumonia

Obviously my opinion means nothing but I think Radley is far too valuable as part of our attacking structure 1-2 wide of the ruck. He gives good service and gives Walker much more space which he lacked while Radley was off. Not sure who would fill that role if he went hooker. To give you an idea of what I mean here's who the ball went to for the final three tries:

Tupou's try was Radley --> Walker --> Tupou
Walker's try was Radley --> Walker
B moz's second was Radley --> Tedesco --> Walker --> Morris

Just to add to that Radley was subbed on at the 54th minute which is pretty much when we started asking some serious questions off the back of JWH's hit ups.

Only watched half of the weekends games but seems to be a high scoring round. Will marchke have the starting hooker spot for the next 5 or 6 weeks? If so, I'll be bringing him in next week. Probably for Ofahengue.

Surely that should have been covered under covid protocols and Smith be stood down

No Verrills back R8-10 so 4 weeks max

Edit: Robbo mentions in press conference re Verrills "probably 3 weeks"

The kid he is talking about played the trial against the Tigers
I'd imagine there's a better option at the Bears or Jersey Flegg than SG Ball
