I mean he us 23 and has played 5 NRL games. Has some potential but isnt exactly a NRL star. If it wasnt for injuries he wouldnt have played anything more then nsw cup last year
Well the QLD cup Semis are about to start and a number of former tigers in the first match
Delouise Hoeter
Ryland Jacobs
JJ Collins
Lamar Liolevave
Should be interesting games today - big game and all looking to show off for NRL contracts
So I looked back on our season and we have had 12 centre combos in 21 games
No centre combination has lasted more then 3 games with Talau/Roberts and Talau/Douehi each having 3 games.
Our most successful combo so far is Chee Kam/Talau with 2 wins over the last 2 weeks
We always talk about...
Had his best game for the club tonight - ran hard and looked quicker (thought he normally has strapping on the leg but didn't tonight).
For a guy who is still eligible for flegg this year he is really starting to make centre his own.
Obviously still has some issues to work on but he is def a...
Our biggest miss last night was Tom.
With him we have won 6 and lost 9 and they have been our closest losses including 2 games againat Souths and Eels where we were close to top 4 teams. Without him we have lost every game
He brings impact and agression off the bench. Without him we fall...
Laurie - Injured 10 mins in and didnt we miss him
Mbye - Played majority of game at fullback and had a try assist and a scored a try and made 120 meters. Did not provide leadership but as a fill in FB he prob played ok
Nofa - 120 meters, a try, 5 offloads, 2 tackle breaks - Usally the edges...
Any ideas who made the flight to Brisbane and who didn't player wise.
For example is Rus Packer their, did some of the NSW cup players (the debutant obviously) make it - Kiah Cooper for example and did any of the NRL players not make it ?
I would have hoped the club released a list
I wanted to have a look at how the draw has affected us and has affected other teams.
What was really interesting to me was how much the draw has hurt us this year.
Games vs top 6
Broncos - 9
Tigers - 8
Dogs - 7
Warriors, Sharks, Titans, Roosters,Souths,Panthers, Storm - 6
Raiders...
So i look at our club and the other clubs and what we lack is quality at the real top end.
Our 3 highest paid players are Mbye, Brooks, Packer and at the start of the season it was Josh Reynolds
If I compare this to the top 3 in almost every other club then this is really where we fall over...
Well with 1 round remaining we sit in 10th but will prob finish 11th given the 2 teams below us play each other.
Our attack has us up at number 6 but our defence is 14th better then only the Cowboys and Broncos in points conceded. Yep even the Dogs have let in less points then us.
So for all...
So I thought for something different I'd look at Joey Leilua as he has now played 12 games and he also played 12 games for the GF Raider last year so a good time to compare.
2019 v 2020
Games - 12 v 12
Tries - 4 v 4 - Same
Runs - 10.3 v 10.7 - Improved
Meters Per Game - 91m v 91m - Same
Try...
