I think the difference is that Kellaway errrors are normally to not pass the ball when he should, killing off attack and or giving up the ball. So they are note as noteable as more obvious errors like dropped ball and bad passes - but they are errors all the same. I’d still have him as my...

I wonder if Daugunu will come into the equation. If Schmidt doesn’t want players who make errors then I’d guess he is no chance. But then a lot of other guys will have lines through their names too and the list of players left over may not be that appealing. If form is his guide then, from...

Happy for Rene Ranger to start this weekend if that makes up for it.

Sounds like Flook is a chance which will be good. Form would say the Blues have this easy. The Reds are a bit enigmatic at the moment and I am honestly not sure if this is a good match up for us or a really bad one. I don’t think we can outgun the Blues without Tate, McReight, Petaia & Uru -...

Wait…. You mean you lied to me????? I feel so used.

I have a question though - should that scrum have been packed? If the sanction for a kick out in the full was a penalty, then fair enough BUT it isn’t, it’s a scrum. And given time had elapsed under the rules I didn’t think you continued on for a scrum offence. Is there any other offence for...

Given the complete lack of Reds supporters doing that I assume you were launching a pre-emptive strike???

Haha - that’s great. I’ve never heard that before. Says a lot when all his English team mates wanted him smacked around too. Thanks for posting that.

I thought he could’ve been quicker to the ball sometimes but otherwise I thought he was generally fine. Sone of his work in defence was very good I thought.

Paisami has been pretty good this year. I think he was a player who plateaued under Thorn but now seems to be progressing again. His run/pass/kick decisioning has been questionable in the past but was pretty good last night. Defensive reads seemed pretty good too. With Henry, O’Connor, Flook...

Most important thing tonight by a long way is that we got the win. Second thing was getting a bonus point. Not pretty at all, but important in terms of trying to get as high up the table as possible. Need to find about 3 more gears v the Blues though.

Intersting you mention Nonggorr can play both sides. As far as I can recall he has only ever played THP for the Reds. At what level has he played LHP?

Don’t feel selfish mate - I’m really hoping they win tonight so we aren’t talking next week about how bad the season turned too.

Yeah - but he put far more force info if. If Mafi had move his head forward when it happen it would have ended very badly.

Very different amounts of force. They were more a rub than anything. Still dumb and rightly punished, but almost no chance of causing actual injury.

Yeah - I do. But I still disagree with the premise that you’re making. He deliberately head butted someone. Intent is clear. We may not know if he intended to knock him unconscious or if he intended to head butt him in the pec so as to not do any serious damage but any pro footballer who throws...

Wednesday lunch and no thread up until now? Looks like confidence has been rocked. Both teams need a win and neither inspiring much confidence at the moment but that can change quickly enough. For me the Reds have had been making a lot of needless errors in all their games - even when they...

I’m sorry - with regards to the comments he wasn’t trying to head butt him in the face, that’s piss poor. He deliberately tried to head butt him. Trying to claim some moral leverage because he didn’t go for maximum damage is a croc in my view. That said, what’s done is done. I do agree that...

This is the Roosters. The rules don’t apply.

I’m against the general principal that it should be outcome rather than intent that drives the sentencing. I’ve no problem with McReight’s punishment as, while the immediate impact of the tackle may not seem much the whole driving force behind the focus on lowering the tackle is because of the...
