Mitchell, should retire, he will never change his attitude ,hasn’t been any better with his indiscretions or performances on the field , remember the Joe Manu incident for example.
Mitchell has nothing to offer any club and won’t regardless of his natural ability. We come to expect the behaviour week in week out. I could be more pronounced with my opinions but this is the best diplomatic reserved expression i’ve got . i’m not racist either , i have near first nations heritage.

Latrell cops lengthy ban for high elbow hit on Johnson as Souths coach laments 'stupid' acts

Yes RYAN, But i’m interested in the round one debacle in the USA. I’ll leave my judgement till then. Tigers and Dragons in a fight to make the Christmas pudding with the spoon. Ricky has attitude and a degree of isolation from the market in Sydney so the Raiders will be ” also rans ” but not bad

Fearless 2024 NRL predictions: Blues' revenge, Storm star wins Dally M, Knights miss finals despite Ponga

Let’s think outside the rectangle, would the RL fans get on board with constant Gridiron ? Certainly not the Heartland League fans.
The Yanks have enough Mainstream sport that keeps them in their dream [ AREN’T THEY THE WORLD CHAMPIONS OF ALL SPORTS ? ] Won’t ever be of RL !!!
This whole tirade to USA is an absolute joke and a crazy emotional suckup.

NRL News: Beale a chance to make code switch as clubs consider offer, Gus pours cold water over Vegas hype

Very narrow minded assumption, way past being young blokes blowing off steam

Broncos brawlers get their first slice of Vegas luck after breach notices served but bans unlikely

Not much question regarding the team but i’d like to see Selwin COBBO playing in the centres with STAGGS , permanently. I feel COBBO needs more responsibility for his football development. He has brilliant talent and needs more than finishing and returning from the kicks. He could easily be a super star and workload and decisive responsibilities would benefit his evolution

NRL Round 1 predicted teams: Brisbane Broncos - After going close in 2023, was that their best chance at glory?

Big change will be necessary for Souths , i doubt if Souths can make the 8 , A complete mental attitude required but tell me how all these” leopards are going to change their spots”, starting from the top . Every core player has to play better , mentally and physically for a massive improvement

NRL Round 1 predicted teams: South Sydney Rabbitohs - If Latrell fires and Wighton fits in, Bunnies can go all the way

The BAN is too light , should be the whole season. It’s a pity the ref didn’t employ a good old rugby league stiff arm !!!!!!!!!!!!!
The gutless commentary is NOT appreciated and this lack of intelligence is worthy of a ” move on”

COMMENT: BBL Pom's disgraceful ump incident deserves bigger ban - and shame on Aussie icon for 'both-sidesing' it

Good , interesting article Mike, but i feel you have underestimated THE HAMMER. He has more evolvement to go , is young , has some quality experience around him and some potential inside , eg Katoa . We haven’t seen the consistant brilliance yet, hold on to your seat for the next couple of seasons. Reminds me alot of the PEARL but faster

Pressure Points: The Hammer excelled in the Dolphins’ first year, but consistency is the key to kicking on in 2024

This whole charade is an absolute joke. Is anyone in the USA going to hold any interest after it’s over ,on reflection , how many AUSSIEs give a stuff about American football, We have enough issues regarding League in Australia considering expansion to Perth / Adelaide . AFL fans don’t care about NRL , it’s just another segmental sport in the Australian arena . We need to look after NRL on the east coast and make that as good as possible. AIN’T there enough problems at home ?

NRL News: Holmes learns white powder fate, Samoa make coaching call, Clubs kept off Strip in bid to avoid Vegas dramas

I’ve never been a Jack Bird fan, he went to the Broncos because of Bennett. At that time , he sustained those more limiting injuries when he technically should have been in an evolvement stage. That’s gone , Bird has nothing to offer. His performances with the Broncos were poor at best and had he shown any resolve , Bennett would have taken him to the Dolphins as they needed some talent then. Time’s up Jack , find another avenue of sport

Bird wants to fly back to the future with positional change after Flanagan reunion: 'I can get back to my best, if not better'

I presume Munster has had a rough time with his health this past season.I think he has plenty to give and is a special talent .

'Wake-up call': Is it time for a complete Kangaroos team overhaul after New Zealand 'capitulation'?

no

no

NRL free agency frenzy: Each club's November 1 open market list as Roosters face sombre salary cap squeeze

NQ have a history of letting top talent go and employing sub talent
Ponga, Clifford, Hammer , Sam Thaiday and should have had Fleglar and probably a few more i can’t recall at the moment

NRL free agency frenzy: Each club's November 1 open market list as Roosters face sombre salary cap squeeze

I can’t recall the time frame for Wendal Sailor’s ban but it was way more than 1 game , more like years , but there was one who used drugs while playing , got away with it and admitted after the fact and got away with it and is still in the limelight now . Talk about a load of BS. No one will convince me the Holmes issue is an example of a ONCE OFF. His SILLY MISTAKE is simply that it was exposed. But then as a rugby league fan, what would we know about how much drug activity goes on in the system

'He made a stupid mistake but he's taken ownership': Mal defends Holmes selection call despite white-powder drama

Tedesco is the utmost professional and this possibly would be his last call , but he always rises to the occasion and will excel in good company and coaching. We don’t have to worry about his ability or dedication to do a good job. From a qlder

Kangaroos squad: Cleary injured, Meninga backs Tedesco after snubbing in-form trio as Latrell 'comeback' surprises

No doubt for me, this indiscretion wouldn’t likely be a once off for Holmes nor the first time . Not for me and i’m a loyal QLDer . Not to be selected again

Kangaroos squad: Cleary injured, Meninga backs Tedesco after snubbing in-form trio as Latrell 'comeback' surprises

Herrington would be my 1st choice there , 100% all the time. Cobbo to centre . he needs the workrate and involvment. The club is better now ,best to go forward with the current roster

Grand Final player ratings - Brisbane Broncos: Nobody better than Ezra but hot-and-cold stars prove costly

Billy seemed a metre to slow but looks as though he has improved here , also his service from the play the ball was a fraction delayed , maybe Harry Grant inspired him , now he’s pretty good, possibly the best in the comp all over. Worth an accolade

ANALYSIS: Walsh puts Panthers on notice as Broncos crush Warriors to deliver first Grand Final since 2015

There would only be 5 or 6 that might be considered in the SOO arena out of your squad and those not superior to SOO selections. Get a grip MIKE

Kiwis squad: Johnson, Hughes and Manu hold the key as New Zealand look to exploit Warriors fever

Wighton will bring some new BITE into the Bunnies next year , a few head high shots and some crucial dropped ball. Me thinks this import will surely improve the South’s culture — NOT . Dia straits if the Admin don’t do some work on discipline. Doesn’t look healthy for the fan base

ANALYSIS: Gamble blows up over Wighton biting allegation as Ponga propels Knights past Raiders in extra-time thriller

I wrote after the first game this year that South s didn’t have ” IT ”. There has been something wrong all season , you wouldn;t bet your shirt , week in ,week out , you would never know what to expect. There would have been more money betting against the Bunnies , it’s just not Mitchell or Walker alone even tho they didn’t get it together consistently , it’s something in the team culture and of course i’m only looking from the outside as a league fan

Where to now for South Sydney? Latrell positional switch well worth a try for biggest under-achievers of 2023

Mitchell has some special talents but for a strange reason he stuffs up from time to time . Unfortunately the unacceptable behaviour is quite prevalent eg last year against MANU. His chip on the shoulder is not necessarily his alone what with Cody Walker prone to poor attention , especially if the Bunnies are on the wrong end of the stick, followed by Milne. Not conducive as a team effort
Mind you, we are only dealing with the BUNNIES here as a current topic as other teams include poor attitudes by a minority of individuals. Some will never be rehabilitated

Round 26 Team Lists Late Mail: Sharks cop huge blow, Papi close to return after year out, Manly axe Schuster, Raiders trio in doubt

As a QLD supporter Brimson, not this standard
Coates & Taulagi , looked tired and slow
Holmes lost it on the night
The Hammer put in the effort but not backed up by his team mates , out of position a few critical times
Munster worked hard on his own
Cherry-Evans , off his game
Cotter , best of the team , never stopped trying
Grant , same as C-E
Tino , in the Cotter mould
Fifita, not in the game, got lost
Carrigan, put in the effort for an off team night
Hunt, was somewhere else
Collins , missed team support worked hard
Fotuaika, put in the effort , always worth his place
Best in this team , Cotter and The Hammer
Thoroughly missed Walsh

Maroons player ratings: Bad defensive reads, a stupid penalty, a crop-top jersey all added up to dud night for Queensland

Cameron, in plain Aussie terms you’ve babbled the BS
Rules are the rules and one plays by the rules, a la M Starc’s catch

COMMENT: Cummins failed the moral test and tarnished these Ashes. He had the chance to be a legend and blew it
