Re: South Sydney Rabbitohs 2024

I just love that Souths fans don't seem to realise how bad their roster is. They assume because they are a "big club" they can fix it all with cash. Nowhere have I ever seen any discussion of what their cap situation might be, or why they might be overpaying for hacks - except on the Rugby...

if we're to expand the problem to "painful predictability around the ruck", then I'm afraid to say that it's time to acknowledge Morgan Smithies is part of the problem. His work is so slow and cumbersome, honestly he doesn't look any more natural in the role than Horse did, and two months...

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day

Also, for a sense of perspective, Jesse Ramian is apparently 27, and just starting to get some recognition. I think Kris and Timoko are 24, and the rest are 18, 19, 21. We are going to have to wait a few years, but at least it means there's plenty of time to recruit a decent dummy half.

Looks like our defensive line is running at three different speeds - the rushing up, the steady line, and the hanging back. Except as a team we are doing all three at once.

Disagree. Get him here as soon as possible (without selling the farm), so we are in controll of his development. In saying that, he's young and might not even turn into a first grader.
