Was always a Sezer fan Geoff. Was a hit disappointed when he left.

I do Nat, I think he’s open to the expansive play we saw round 2016 but there was a necessary pivot to hard defence because they just kept leaking points. These days you just can’t grind games out, not even finals anymore. You’ve gotta have an attacking point of difference.

I’m with you there, Geoff. At least give Savage a full crack at it and if it doesn’t work out, so it is

Size in defence is my no Savage theory Geoff. Pushed and carried around too easily. Doesn’t jive with how Rick likes to do things

All depends on the Cowboys game Geoff, but in any case Canberra’s up against it. If Rick was planning on changing the structure and attack patterns maybe it’s to get some practice in for 2024, cos it’s waaay too late now.

It’s an interesting thought Baz. I’m actually on the side of a week off before the grand final, that’s the most important game of the year and build up would be something…

Round 24 Preview Talking Points: Does NRL care about WA? no love for O’Brien, whopping bans and Nine's secret Saturdays

Nathan Cleary got 5 for a spear tackle in 2022, Karl Lawton got 4 (with a guilty plea bringing it down from 5). That’s 20% of the season compared to Cherrington being sent off for a half then missing four more, exactly half a season. Again – not defending the tackle but it’s a quirk cos the season is so short that NRLW suspensions hit harder than they do in the men’s comp, same deal in the AFL/AFLW.
