You think he's going to get the touches at centre to go big? It's obviously possible, but I didn't think the Manly team looked that bad. I guess it is pretty bad in the areas Manu will be attacking.

I am so disappointed that a tackle like Finucanes is a suspension. Rugby league as its known and what made it obtain the following it has in Australia will never be again, hesitate to say RL is 'done', as i don't know what it will take to make me ever stop watching. It's like I can't stop, no matter how soft it becomes. There may be a tipping point, idk.
Its a contact, hard hitting, tackle at high speed sport. If they want to outlaw hard hits and intensity it needs to be a new sport, literally.

I'm not the old school ignorant type, back in my day yada... it's just getting more and more limited. These guys cannot do all they can anymore as it is being ruled out.

Head clashes and concussion are a serious issue, I'm not ignoring that at all. What's the alternative. Do u guys see the game devolving albeit slowly ?

There's more, alot more examples of tackles, plus the random tackles that lead to hip drops, this can occur randomly in addition to any done on purpose.

Must be bored, or down to 4 trades, as theres another whinge.

Are people still looking at my BEs?
I assume its irrelevant for most, but just noticed I had a price filter still on the sheet when I posted them this week so all expensive players got missed. Nobody complained so does that mean we're all at a point where BEs don't matter?

The Sharks are very good defensively & I can't see Latrell doing much but then he plays the warriors rd. 21 where he'll carve up. Do you like my plan. Thanks.

If he scores couple of tries that's probably +60 if not more. Why would you bet against that by selling? What's to say he won't outscore Teddy who you want to bring in?

Actually, I noticed that Cook was missing (as the one big gun I'm still trying to find a way to get).
That said - Milchcow, you're BEs are a god-send.
Thank you for all the efforts.

"'Bold prediction 2: Radley gets injured or suspended before origin."

Always appreciate the post but didn't actually need breakevens this week. For me it's at the point of trading in the best players you can afford regardless of price drops

Interesting discussion...I think the drive away from full contact sports is pretty strong in primary school. My daughters primary school is an interesting study in contradictions. Inner city school in an upper middle class area but with one of the last remaining ovals. They definitely play touch, both intra school and at lunchtime, and most kids have a grasp of the rules (combination of good sports education program and the fact we are 500 metres from Broncos HQ so very high awareness).
Massive soccer participation for both intra school teams and the local club, where we are well and truly oversubscribed for junior teams, but boys in particular drift away as they reach high school age and are press ganged into Union at their private schools.

I know I had a reason at the time, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.
