Re: 2022 Rd 11 V Rabbitohs: Game Day

Apologies if it has been said but what was the reasoning behind Schneider coming back in for Frawley?

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2022

Yes to Burton if he decides to leave the dogs, but to play centre. It’s arguably our weakest position and I think he’s played his best footy there. No sure about Hetherington because we’ve already go too many players with a low footy IQ. At the price you would have to pay to get Burton you would be...

Re: Canterbury Bulldogs 2022

Poor Ryan Sutton. They really need to grab a halfback. Sean O'Sullivan at the least. Then with Reed coming you have a competent player in 3 spine positions. Better than the 1 they currently have this year. It is not confirmed but I am pretty sure O’Sullivan will be at the Dolphins next year. Sent f...

Re: Is the wooden spoon a 2022 reality?

Lui isn’t on contract to the Broncos, only Redcliffe, though I guess they could possibly call on him in an emergency. It is not ability that stopped Lui from playing NRL this year. However given the current climate there is no reason why he couldn’t sign with a club. He has easily been Redcliffe’s ...

Re: Coaching issues

I see Ryles getting a lot of mentions here. Genuine question though, are there any Bellamy disciples who have gone on to be successful NRL head coaches? Depends on your definition of success: Only 6 current coaches have won a premiership. Maguire spent 5 years as Bellamy’s assistant and then went o...

I think it was Botman last night who suggested that Schneider might be a long term #13. At the time I dismissed it as I do most of his posts as the unhinged ravings of a lunatic, but on reflection, he might be onto something. I don't think he (Schneider, not Botman) will ever have quite the speed f...

None of this would happen under Bellamy's watch. Stuart will need to change and evolve or leave in order for us to be a force again. We may not be a top 4 side on paper but we belong in the 8.

I would think the LA would be reluctant to hold an area on magic round but an alternative option if you have time to organise it would be to do the launch in round 8 for the game at Redcliffe.

I would disagree with some teams assessment Sharks signed Brailey to a 4 year deal last year. Knights made the other Brailey captain last year.
