God dammit

C'Mon judiciary! Dont let these silver spoon mfers get one over you. Throw the damn book at him!

Botman

DCE challenging his charge - I think he will be successful and free to play. I think more likely he is found guilty or gets a downgrade and still misses at least this week But when you go to the judiciary, you spin the wheel of random chance. I dont think anyone has any feel for what that kangaroo ...

I would open talks with Schiller and the Eels to see if that could work He's leaving us anyways, the coach loves Hoppa, we've still got Crotic and Asomua around the top 30. So he's someone we can afford to let go For him, he's on his way out of town anyways, a short staycation in sydney where he'll ...

Botman

I wonder if they'll try and get him early now [emoji848] Sent from my SM-G998B using Tapatalk Im certain they'll try but with the Moses injury being long term and his debut game sort of cementing his spot in FG short term... i cant see the Eels releasing him now. Circumstances have not gone our way...

EXTREMELY BOLD **** coming from a guy who spent years on this site doing almost nothing else but **** canning Jarrod Croker's selections in FG?

Botman

Schiller looks a bit bewildered in defence and in other circumstances would need to be looked closely at, but for the life of me I just can't see where tries are going to come from except through ad-hoc moments by individual players, and he's probably as good as anyone on that. Im not a Ricky fan, ...

Hudson Young's lucky we've got the problems we do in the edge position, otherwise he should be facing a stint in reggies He's been very disappointing from the games ive seen We need MUCH better from him All evidence is that he doesn't have much better to give. His "bad streak of form" has...

Botman

If you want to know how bad Danny Levi was tonight...
He's gotten 79 total votes in the POTY so far this season. 13 of those points (a staggering 16%!!) have come from one single poster... and even he couldnt bring himself to give the bloke points this week.

Botman

Yeah i think when Rapa is back, Chevy can drop back to cup and keep working on his game having had a good taste of FG A good discussion could be had at that point whether we're best of bringing rapa back on the wing or fullback... but i think thats a fan discussion, i dont think Savage is in conside...

Botman

The situation with chev isnt great but i dont think he's doing a lot wrong, granted he apparently had a shocker last week against the Broncos but im watching his debut now and it's in line with what i saw tonight... he's generally in the right spot and making the right play He's not impacting the at...

Botman

Disappointed in that performance from Sasagi, i had heard he was aquitting himself quite well in the last few weeks
It was a disaster tonight, EW is apparently going to be back so i guess he's in... not sure that'll solve the defensive issues though

Botman

Levi has been OK this year, popped up with some tries, distribution generally pretty good, We are not watching the same sport. I admittedly have not seen the last 3 weeks yet, but in the 5 weeks of football i have seen Danny Levi has been the worst starting hooker in the competition this year and i...

Botman

Pretty measured presser from Stuart today. He's really be better on that front this year. I thought the same thing. Not sure he knows how to fix it or can fix it though. I really think this season is a write-off. No Fog, no hope. And Fog isn't even that good. But we need his kicking game. It papers...

Botman

This thought crossed my mind today, and despite it being at the risk of a classic 'move ordinary half into dummy half' take , I wonder what others think - should Weekes consider a transition to 9? Ball playing ability isn't quite there as a first receiver, but he's an explosive baller runner who ca...

Botman

I brought it up a fortnight ago but was assured he was going great guns but is anyone else concerned about Kris? His counterpart Timoko is looking good even in well beaten sides but Seb looks anonymous most of the time. I’m not calling for his dropping or anything like that I am just wondering if t...

Botman

Is anyone surprised? Fair dinkum look at the youth and injuries. Anyone who thinks Flegg/Cup players can slot in and we put on points against the ladder leaders and even win is delusional. This is what blooding youth en masse looks like, especially without the experience and leadership around them....

Botman

2 - Timoko: Like everyone else i thought he was the one bloke who played quite well 1 - Chevy: I think criticism of him in this circumstances are off the mark, if that's what he gives us now as an 18 year old who's head is still swimming at this level, then im excited for what he can be in the futur...

Botman

Scary match up for us here, but looks like we caught a break with DCE and Olakau'atu almost certain to miss the match.
I think there is a good chance we'll see some changes here. Kind of have to after a 40-0 drubbing at home

Botman

We simply cannot run out next week with Levi and Starling in FG they're simply not NRL level footballers. With the spine being so young and inexperienced we can no longer afford to carry these guys. Woolford is no great shakes but he's better than these guys. Get Puru into the #14, he only needs to ...

When it's all said and done and the careers are in the books, we're going to have to have a serious chat about Glenn Buttriss's strangehold on being the least talented footballer to ever play 100 games.

Botman

What do Hudson Young and Smithies offer? Bit harsh on Smithies. He is a toiler who is in the middle of everything, his upside is obvious to me but he can't do it alone. Hudson on the other hand is lacking in all areas. His defence is horrible, his attack has no variation, he lacks size, footwork, s...

Botman

I'm loathe to go too hard on a young spine player trying to find his feet in firsts, but for a guy who's not particularly quick, agile, or large, Chevy Stewart will need to start bringing skill to the fore quickly. Being brave doesn't make you an NRL fullback. He's 18 and there is no structure for ...

Botman

Starling finding touch and really controlling the tempo of the game there!

Crash balls on 4th and 5th and then Bombahan on the last play... HIDEOUS

Botman

That's shocking stuff from Huddo and Kris

Botman

Strange has been terribly unlucky this year
Feels like he gets over the line every week and just misses a grounding

Botman

I dont know what Smithies has looked like in the last 3 weeks, havent caught up on those games yet But he was on my radar before i left and remains so... he's a wonderful defender, and he works his **** off, no one could disput that but his attack i think actually hurts us His distribution game hasn...

Botman

Levi was not given a long leash there before the hook came out
Gives me hope that Stuart is starting to see the light on this.

Botman

That's brutally bad red zone offence, Strange is our most dangerous half and i dont think he touched the football

Rickmando wrote: ↑April 28, 2024, 4:35 pm Don’t blame Levi. It’s not his fault the coach keeps selecting him in a grade above his skill level!

It's a fair point
Levi is doing his best, but as has always been the case, his best is not good enough for this level of football.

Botman

Danny levi has been a double agent so far today. Absolutely hopeless
