Jazz is a good player but just can't see where he gets 40-50mins with the current squad.

Yeah especially with Curran back, 40 mins looks like his norm eh?

Nothing further on Gamble by the sounds? Hopefully we know more tomorrow could use that Mam cash gen

Probably 30-40min depending on what's going on. If the Warriors get an injury in the forwards though, he'd be back up to 60.

Nothing from scans yet but Broncos website posted a video yesterday where he says he's had the issue for a few weeks and should be more of a precaution to have the week off

Called Hastings a sell two weeks ago, now everyone going with it? Hmmm

Nah I'm keeping him.

Thought Bellamy would just replace Coates with Warbrick.  The Wishart to FB campaign appeared to be done.

Assume that will happen unfortunately as regretful Wishart buyer

If the Blues would have won the report cards would be different... they weren't that bad.
The writing was on the wall once Munster got his confidence up in the 2nd half and the Blues didn't shut him down

Warbrick a sneaky cash out that should play 17 if he replaces Coates?

Haha I bet if Bellamy was the nsw coach there would be no way they would interview him in the coaches box.

Yep, all of this. The Ted interview was ridiculous. I get NINE has a game to sell, but if they had their way they’d mic players up ala T20 and get comments during plays!

I don’t think any NRL coach would agree to do it

At the end of the day both Origin coaches are primarily employed by Ch9 and basically coaching their state as a side hustle. I wouldn’t be surprised if a condition of doing the Origin role was more access. I also wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t a condition, but ch9 asked and they felt they needed to agree to keep their other employer happy.

As a viewer it doesn’t add much to have the lead commentator asking a coach whether they are worried about the score line at 12-4 down

Apparently Greg Alexander was on the radio this morning saying he thought Yeo should’ve been pulled from the field and that the contact affected him.

Not saying he’s wrong, but saying it publicly almost makes it certain there will be an overreaction and half a dozen guys off for HIA assessments next game

Don't hate it. Any reason Meany doesn't push him out though, assume he goes back to the wing when Pap is back?

Good point

Will Warbricks wiki entry has more words on his junior Aussie rules career in NZ (?) than on his rugby sevens and NRL careers combined.

Playing league for 25-30 years it's been my experience that most guys that get a head knock & continue playing they usually play better. Maybe because their head is scrambled & they're not thinking straight they seem to lose all fear & rip in. We all remember the Lonergan incident v Aussie where he was knocked out & convulsing on the ground but he played on & he was instrumental in the Kiwis winning in fact I think
he got motm.

Mate you come up with some cooked takes but this is right up there

I may look at trading Hastings also. No one really I fancy though. Others that are trading keep in mind cover if Cleary doesn't play. Hynes might have to move up and run some shittos at the back.

Even though you're a Queensland grub I still love you Jimmy. Just like how Teddy still loves Collins this weekend.

But also fuck you mate
