He should get a vote in the expansion discussion
His fines are funding the project

Love the bloke. Never want to see him in anything but lime green
That being said his time has come.

Botman

Fellas... before you go ahead and start dismissing Robinson's THREE premierships and pretending he's not achieved more than Stuart as a coach because he coaches the roosters, you might want to google which club Stuart ONE premiership as a coach was won at.

Botman

We also know that one of the "signings we'd be announcing in the next few weeks" is Sanders and it's been in the bag for a while now and that hasnt officially been done yet, so i am hopeful that we might have another name to come with him when it does happen A really good young backrower ...

Botman

You can pretty much forget recruiting a fullback over Chev, Stuart's not doing that. He'll manage it as he sees fit but he'll be doing it with the very clear intention that Stewart is our fullback of the future. I think Stuart has a very high level of confidence that he'll be that too so a high upsi...

I think "intentionally taking his weight off the ground to drag the player down" is pretty much perfect description of the action Papalii takes in the tackle. So yeah, it is very accurate imo. I don't know what you blokes are watching but it's not what im watching so I've not got anymore m...

Botman

You’ve got two different topics today with screen grabs and in both I’m struggling to understand how you think the pictures support your case. :lol: They are screen grabs that very much support mine as I see it In any event I do very much think it’s a dumb technicality to say because Papalii knocked...

Botman

I’m tell you now Critta is BEGGING for that ball to go long to beyond Huddo His entire body positioning to make a play at the ball, he knows if the ball goes beyond him it’s a try, he has to back Preston to make the tackle if it’s short, but he’s defending space. He is 100% playing the ball A cut ou...

Botman

It's such a dumb technicality to get hung up on... Im not really interested in a discussion if your entire thing boils down well "well technically he didnt land on Kikau"... miss me with that nonsense. He committed a hip drop tackle, and it resulted in a defenders weight coming down on the...

Botman

Just watching the game winning try again, it was such a good play for a young play maker... he knew the space was there and a try was on offer, and his first instinct was to get the ball out wide but he looked up noticed the dogs still standing flat on their line and adjusted knowing he could take ...

Botman

Yes, it can. It's the text book example of what a hip drop is and what we're trying to get out of the game If not for another player being in road, Papalii's entire weight would come down on the back of Kikau's legs and only reason that didnt happen is because someone got in the way and instead of p...

Botman

I think the plan all along was by seasons end the job is Chevy’s I don’t think anyone thought Rapa could play the year out there but then he did get a nice break as a result of injury so maybe he can now? But if he can’t, and for what ever reason they think Chevy needs one more off season, it’s prob...

Botman

Maybe they'll bring up an angle of it that wasnt shown on coverage but based on vision i saw, that is as bad a call as you can have
Just clearly and blatantly incorrect.

Botman

The only reason Papalii didn’t land on Kikau’s legs was because another raiders player got in the way, and the force of Papalii swinging off the ground forced that Canberra player to come down on Kikau’s legs. You guys are arguing this is a perfectly fine and normal tackle on the technicality that p...

Botman

I’ll take that! Really thought we’d lose both middles for at least a week... Rapa seems to have this endless ability to just be fined for his **** :lol: He would have spent a fortune on fines, surely he deserves a say in how that moneys spent. :lol: I like it Give him a vote on expansion He’s **** ...

Serious question - when do they start the 10 minutes for the sin bin from? By the clock on the Kayo feed, I get both sin bins to be around 8 mins 30 seconds rather than the full ten. very confused. I am glad someone asked this. I wasn’t sure of the rule either. The Dogs scored on the buzzer at half...

I think fullback is probably his best position

On another topic. How good is Magic Round? Greatest innovation to the game since Origin. The women on Thursday night just makes it even bigger. Suncorp was electric tonight and will be for the whole weekend. Every year I sit at home and say “next year I’m doing it” and never do Really ought to just...

Botman

Ive seen enough young halves thrown to the wolves in origin by NSW and spat out to their deteriment Strange has no business playing SOO football at this point of his career. It would be a desperate play and irresponsible to the lad IMO. We can talk origin in a year or two pending development. For no...

Botman

Interesting the ABC radio commentators banging on that Papa shouldn’t have been sin binned for his tackle. Penalty yes, but definitely not sin bin. They talked about it for a while. I said in the game that I thought that Papa collecting his own player was mitigating circumstances. But if they start...

Botman

Be interesting to see if Papa and Taps have any troubles this week. Taps should be OK. Mooney is ready for a starting spot IMO. I think we might be without both Taps and Papa myself Reckon they'll each get at least a week... Papa maybe two Levi was put on report too for a trip but i didnt see any f...

Botman

He'll get in one of those extended camps for future prospects for sure. Talent is unreal i know people where impressed with Galvin, but ill take our chances with Stranger danger He's got more pace than Galvin, and loves to take on defenders one on one. Hurts in defence - drives ball runners back. T...

He’s building a nice combo with Young. Two game winning tries set up for Young two weeks in a row. Weren’t there concerns that Strange was strictly a right sided player.. I don’t think many were that worried but I was, I think most thought I was overreacting and he’d be fine So I’m thrilled they’ve...

Levi made 24 tackles in 50 minutes with 7 misses That included time when we were down 1-2 players I cede the rest of my time Our attack look quicker when he is off too. I'm sure we have scored more points when he is off the field the last 2 games. He’s a shocking decision maker with and without the...

I’d be surprised if papa or Tapine are available next week

Such an impressive young footballer

So spot on haha

Saved 2 tries
The clean up in goal and finished off Burton who was about to get up and score
Tremendous effort plays

2 - strange: was our best player, easy motm for me but I can’t give him 3 points because I want to have points to reward others 1 - savage: rock solid all game long and when the going got tough he stepped up 1 - Weekes: kicking game kept us in it at times and made a couple of huge plays to set up th...

Young man can play a little

Botman

I gotta give a lot of credit to the coaching staff His long kicking game is terrific and he didn’t come here with that so great job by him and the coaches working on that It’s quite impressive His speed is a real asset, shifty ball runner and good sense of how to beat defenders He’s a bit shaky defe...
