Sounds like James has better things to do. 3pm kickoff on a Saturday is pretty rough. Don't even have time for breakfast.

Tohu is the obvious one nobody has said
late to the party, but I have to add in Cam Murray. Throws himself around, covers up mistakes and generally makes the rest of Souths pack look much better than they are..

Jumping Marlin wrote:I missed the earlier discussion on "is Fifita lazy" Vs "Fifita is smart to preserve his energy".
To add to the debate: set out below is the average time between tackles for a number of second rowers (sorry, edge forwards) in 2021.
[Interpretation: Matterson makes a tackle every 2.1 minutes he is on the field]
2.1mins: Matto
2.2mins: Friz, CHN
2.4mins: Angus
2.5 mins: Sitili
2.6mins: Kolo, Lucy
2.9 mins: Kikau, Schuster (just games he played 2nd row)
So the range of workhorses to those I'd suspect are lazy (or more kindly, short burst power athletes), ranges from making a tackle every 2.1 mins to a tackle every 2.9mins.
So, where do you think our good friend David Fifita sits??
Yep - a statistical outlier with a tackle every 3.2mins.
I would like to read this but I think I'll skip it and just go with some sweeping generalisations informed by my own bias(ed)
This week I think I'll say he's a lazy, good for nothin' laggard!
Round 19 he was a top bloke loved and cherished by the rugby league (fantasy) community and I, for one, was calling for a bronze statue in his likeness to be erected in Cavill Mall

Mate I think the Storm will take the comp out and go back to back I just think they’ll be too good.
It’s just a matter of who versus them in the GF now for mine.
The Storm haven't looked as clinical in the last 3 games, not sure if they will make it if they keep playing like that.
Panthers need to find their mojo back too. I think Raiders and Manly are a chance.

Only Schuster in the first game
Then Cleary (c), Burton, ARey and Latrell in the second.
Don’t know how it goes tonight

Don’t get too excited Rabbits, we have the green machine and manly up first. I too have written a game day guide
- Game day guide:
- Green team plays maroon team, although they are both wearing their white strip just to piss you off. Maroon team missing fullback, green team has spare fullback at 14 but won’t share. They only share with shit teams who might beat someone to help their finals chances.
Green Hooker wins award for most demerits in a match, maroon team win award for player with longest neck. Suggest developing stretch neck powers like on the incredibles because that would be awesome, not sure if it is legal.
80 minutes of football played, feels like more to green team who has to get back to the 30m line every time Wighton kicks ball dead in goal <- A lot. One of the teams win, the other loses.
GO MIGHTY GREEN MACHINE!
