Seriously **** like that is why some people think there is a massive problem with unconscious bias in this league.

Re: 2024 Rd 4 v Sharks: Teams and Previews *Teams p1

As long as your back 5 are digging the ball out of your own end at the start of each set it doesn't really make any difference whether it's Cotric/Hoppa or Schiller/Savage rucking it out along with Rapana/Kris/Timoko. Someone has to do it either way, just because Hoppa carries the workload when he ...

I'm always cautious of highlight videos. You could put together a show reel on any of our current hookers that would make them look good.

If we sign him, Hosking is on the bench. I'd rather we target a 9. Slim pickings for that position. The only starting hooker I can see coming off contract is Mitch Kenny. Next in line is Karl Lawton who's currently backup to Croker at Manly. ESL? Might be the only viable option. Worked last time. I...

TBH I don't think any of these QBs are worth the mega contracts being offered other than Mahomes, Allen and maybe Burrow. Those 3 all elevate the team around them. The rest are more reliant on having the right weapons and system the produce their best.

Re: Parramatta Eels still hoping to hold onto Raiders target Ethan Sanders

I dont think Ethan will get the call up. He's played 3 games of NSW Cup and they have Daejarn Asi who i think filled in for them quite admirably last year. Reckon he'll get first crack. I'd say so. They basically were able to hold their own with Asi in the halves and scrape by with all season ambit...

Re: 2024 salary cap analysis: What every club’s roster is really worth

They deadset phoned it in on that list. Have a few of the notable rep players on higher values e.g. Tapine, Young, Papalii. The rest they have thrown into a bucket around $400k-$500k. Looks like they just threw the names into a spreadsheet and ran a simple formula.

PTB speed is a pretty rubbery stat and there is not much consistency at all week to week from players (see Guler vs Saulo last week for example).
