I think he’d be a good running back in NFL. Just running, no passing.
I wonder if the Roosters practice backline plays at training. In a game it all falls down when Tedesco or Manu get the ball. They simply don’t pass to set up their outside men.

Does Manu have a regulation pass in his skillset? He only ever seems to throw one handed speculators or a hospital pass.

Wayne Bennett would do wonders with that roster.

His family is all here. I used to play touch footy with his Dad. I hope they get paid, he’s a really great guy and deserves it.

Te Kura is from Brisbane. Highly doubt he leaves anytime soon, unless it’s to The Phins.

The injuries are mostly in the forward pack. The spine is intact.
Injury-hit Maroons won’t panic over Origin selections but just sit back and laugh at Blues’ hullabaloo
Ahh my friend, NQR. I’ve just added fuel to the fire for the NSW selectors, who will now bumble and fumble over selections for the next 2 months before settling on the whole Panthers 17, realising they aren’t all eligible, then choosing Nathan Cleary and 16 x fullbacks.
Wild idea but Blues should actually pick Origin team on form this time around - and that means Tedesco’s time is up
Nice looking squad, even with the injuries.
Carrigan has been playing 80 minutes at lock for the Broncos with Haas out, so I’d have him at prop and swap with Cotter.

I love that you mentioned the “chew them up and spit them out policy”, then proceed to ignore the players who actually won Game 3 last year. I’m a Queenslander so take this with a grain of salt, but the Game 3 team also seemed to have players picked in their natural position, which seemed to work really well.
Luai keeps getting thrown under the bus, but what about Isaah Yeo? He has a losing record in Origin (5-6), which is even worse when he’s the starting lock (3-5). He’s 2-1 when starting off the bench. Cam Murray is much more suited to Origin and should be starting lock, with Yeo on the bench.
I’m not sure how you can drop Bradman Best. He was outstanding in his one and only Origin. But, sure, spit him out. One and done is the NSW way.
Jake Turbo has to start as prop with Haas. He should be one of the first players picked every year.
If you’re serious about form, Olakau’atu should be selected. Martin is hardly setting the world on fire.

Please don’t give him the Iceman moniker. I can’t say I’ve seen him play, but Foley is one of the big reasons why I don’t watch rugby much anymore.

I think it was an example of Broncos protecting a lead instead of going for the jugular. Storm were struggling to defend their line at that stage of the game. The extra 2 points resulted in a 4 point buffer, which was unlikely to be sufficient given the context of the game.
Wishart does Dad proud with match-winning try as Storm chase down Broncos after Reynolds limps off again
They’ve clearly been coaching him well down there. He used to infuriate me with dropped balls when he was playing for the Broncos. In saying that, there is a big difference between the old ‘kick it to Coates’ mentality of Seibold’s Broncos vs the well crafted kicking plays of the Storm. That Hughes kick was perfect.

It was Tim’s WBO belt. Every champ gets their own belt. WBO will send Fundora his own belt in the next week or so.

The heritage diamond jersey is so good. Reynolds and Carrigan were brilliant tonight. Sailor was pretty good too.
That Drinkwater try was pretty special. The rest of his night wasn’t very pretty though. He’ll be having nightmares about Reynolds’ bombs.
Oh, what a nightmare: Reynolds' brillance bamboozles back three as Broncos give Cowboys a kicking
Yes, it’s an accident. But it also fits the very definition of reckless.
Example of reckless contact include but are not limited to (from Super League Rules, so take it with a grain of salt):
• Tackling player is in control of the tackle but still makes direct contact with the head
• The way the player enters the tackle is out of control and contact with the head is likely
Anyway mate, clearly neither of us are going to change our minds on this one, so cheers for a good discussion. I can see why the MRC deemed this an accident.
I find it interesting that not much as changed from the Dylan Napa incidents 7 years ago. After his first ‘accidental’ head clash resulted in a broken jaw to a Bronco, CEO Greenberg also believed that Napa should have been charged. Napa was on the sidelines after his second one. Hopefully this is just a one-off for May, but I think all players will need to show a bit more regard for safety of other players in the future when jamming-in, or risk a lengthy stint on the sideline.
Game’s gone soft, huh? League's tough enough without dangerous incidents getting feather touch from judiciary
It most likely was accidental. However, it was also careless at best, reckless at worst.
No one is trying to tackle with their head. Except maybe those couple of times Dylan Napa did, coincidentally against The Broncos both times. Napa didn’t get charged the first time either.

The vast majority of tackles don’t end with a player’s face broken.
Yes, he’s coached to tackle upright. But it’s definitely poor technique to end with this outcome.

I’m responding to your point 4 above where you said “if he approached low, Walsh would’ve got the pass away”.
I’m not saying he shouldn’t come in fast and hard. But technically it was late – Walsh didn’t have the ball.

Walsh did get the pass away. He was “tackled” high and without the ball.

If that’s his tackling technique, then that’s a pretty big problem.

Well he broke two rules of the game, specifically the rules associated with tackling someone who is not in possession of the ball (11.1), and not making contact with the head (15.1b).

Maybe, but I still think that benefits a team doing illegal plays to take a player out.
The 18th man should be triggered upon foul play. It takes away the gamesmanship from the coaches. And hopefully it takes away the incentive to take out the opposition.
I highly doubt Penrith are doing this on purpose, but I’d be putting on some helmets if I played for the Roosters (just jokes Panthers fans, I know you lot are sensitive)
'If the NRL are serious about concussions, where does this sit?' Kevvie fires up after May escapes ban for Walsh's fracture
Maybe I’m missing something, but isn’t that why the 18th man is there. I don’t really understand why Eels and Broncos weren’t allowed to bring on the 18th man since both injuries were caused by illegal contact to the head.

This State based mentality has been one of the big killers of the Wallabies over the past 20 years. Commentators, selectors, coaches, etc. all need to forego their State-based bias and focus on choosing the best team available with the right set of combinations from club level.
