‘Keen’ doesn’t come close enough.

I’ve always admired his energetic form, his strong push through the ruck, and his vigorous lust for work.

I want to take him out somewhere nice. A few drinks, maybe champagne. Sunset across the harbour back to a penthouse suite where I grip his strong upper arm and say: “You aren’t just an NPR to me”.

Not an easy watch at the best of times

I gave up

Yep, never rated anyway though

Thought I'd give it a look during the Broncos HT break... nope fuck that.

I thought it was just my internet playing up... but I sounds like it's a problem across the board. Either way, does anyone know what Manly have done with their hookers in this match? Did Koro and/or Fainu both play, or neither?

Murray – Douhei on Murray, “theres Murray starting as lock” as if suggesting he won’t be playing 80

Are people expecting Murray to play 80? Seems unlikely to me. Probably 65 mins. That seems like Bennetts go, and Cook will play 80 anyway. No reason for two middles to both play 80 mins when you would think Surgess will play 80 on an edge.

Staggs scores, he has been very good tonight.

His ISP scoring was nothing flash. Happy not to have him if other cheapies are named.

How many locks are there that play 80 minutes these days?

is Trbojevic the only one? There's a couple around that might play the odd 80 minute game, but these days most locks are just an extra middle and get game time accordingly.

Shit, I didn't know he kicked conversion attempts too. Any chance he kicks for Broncos this year, or will that still be Isaako?

The stream in the first half was great. Terrible after half time though.
Fainu played Hooker for first half, no idea who’s playing Hooker now. Haven’t heard Korisau mentioned so I’m assuming he’s being rested.

Jurbo is the only one, next closest has been Surgess

Nah, most think he will be the bench utility and might not even make the field some games. Seibold liked playing his bench utility for around 10 minutes last season so it could well happen again this season if Staggs is the utility.

Isaako is our number 1 kicker by a mile.

Cool, thanks for the info. I know it probably seems stupid, but I really want Koro in my halves. But Fainu's presence is a real thorn in my buttocks. Don't know what to do there...

Siebolds been talking him up though, reckons he is "seriously pushing" bird and roberts for a starting spot. Staggs is a fkn gun, he'll be the bench utitily, but i reckon Siebold will want to use him. How he does that, is the question..

Lol on the Broncos stream you can hear the crowd and one bloke just said "I hate white c*nts"

Jesus.

I rate him too. Last season when he played I like what I saw. He's strong and quick, I just don't see him starting.

Assumed so. Staggs is another one messing with my head. On ability he's a sure thing, but if he's only getting the minutes you suggest it's just not worth the chance.

Just saw the Xerri try, great step at speed and has serious wheels
