Who plays Hooker

[Team Evil]

Yeh it was an odd comment but he said it so maybe it was an off the cuff remark with no thought to it or maybe we can get him in on special grounds?

It doesn't seem like Robbo to say anything off the cuff. He is usually pretty calculated in his talks

I think he was looking for sympathy from the review panel, well that didn’t work

[rented tracksuit]

I'm sure 13 knows a few decent hookers

More than a few but not so sure they are decent though!

[rented tracksuit]

I think he was banned after that comment. As was Large Mike who said Teddy was shit.

Not sure if Large Mike was banned or just topped himself?

i dont think Bens crusher was that bad. i would fight it and risk losing him for two weeks. I think nat butcher could do the job at 9 which brings in either fletcher baker or daniel saluka fafita

[HDTONE]

Just on Brandon Smith I'd get him but on the price he might come over for unders. Leave the Brissie dump and come over to a better run club with better chance of playing finals foe less $$$.....just saying.

yep, Butch will be ok and another big body is needed on bench to fight Melba.

I thought the Cheese was staying put at the drizzle?

And who defends in the middle?
No. Just no.

Forwards - Forwards under the new rules need to be fitter, faster, more agile and play longer minutes- teams would have 6 forwards on the field - rotating the dummy half gives the opportunities for your quicker players to jump into Dummy half and have a run too.

The bench will change as instead of having a second Dummy half teams could have 4 forwards or 3 forwards and 1 back.

Dummy halves could be converted to a running forward role such as a lock position.

It's another one of my ideas along with halves defending on the wing instead of 3 in - you don't want your halves racking up the tackles or being targetted in defence - you want them fresh for the attack.

[King Salvo]

I am keen on seeing that (but maybe against Dogs, not Storm), what would you use the extra player for?

6 forwards on the field - no need for a second dummy half on the bench - bench could be 4 forwards or 3 forwards and 1 back - rotating dummy half then gives the faster players a chance to jump into the dummy half role and have a run- especially under the new rules when the defence is struggling and fatigued.

Dummy halves converted to a running forward role such as a lock instead of this being a 3rd prop type of role.

The Roosters are going to contest it.
which is great , it was just a tackle like the other 400 in the game.
They were all on the ground together , just bullshit.

There needs to be much clearer guidance on what the NRL expects players to do when an attacking player backs into a fast moving defence while staying low to the ground. Peel off immediately and let the guy get an offload away? As things currently stand, you can easily snare a penalty for your team and a suspension for your opponent by doing this and then holding the back of your neck. It's a joke. Meanwhile the Storm invent a new way of deliberately maiming their opponents every week.

Maybe if Vlandys wants to pick up the pace but reduce the injuries he extends the bench to 6 players . Then you could go for 4 forwards and 2 backs. Maybe also push interchanges back up to 12.

Not saying I like it. In theory I prefer seeing the big boppers tire out, but if it reduces injuries, then maybe it's worth it.

You do realise everything you have said there has been done before in the NRL at some stage.

Can you post video's of these/match reports as i don't recall these happening myself - I remember the one marker which i think was Ricko's idea when Chris Anderson was coaching and sometimes Wing defending on the Wing -some said though he there because he was being subbed at the next break in play.
