Two weeks of to freshen up ready for origin
NRL Round 9 Teams: Injuries could force Broncos reshuffle, Roosters sweat on stars, Manly duo in strife, Turuva to return
Season might unravel when they need to engage solicitors and give evidence Topine V Dogs.
NRL Power Rankings: Round 8 - Rabbits hit rock bottom, Warriors show signs of complacency, Dragons' bubble bursts
If you go through the team stats for this game it’s almost identical for both teams with only a couple of variances.
Broncos gave away 8 penalties the Tigers only 4 ?
Tigers did not use all their interchanges? Fresh men on bench no better than tired men on field?
And the standout for me, Tigers grubered into the in goal 6 times, Broncos only 2.
The old school play of getting repeat sets does not work anymore. Short drop out with no penalty makes it more of a 50/50 play hence many more teams running it on the last

Manu sick of being considered as a “14” at Easts, If I was him I would move to RU, partly as a show of respect to team mates not wanting to play against them, and for the coin for future unknown .
Manu excited to take SBW path in pursuit of All Blacks goal but admits 'I've got to learn the game' first
watch the replay, deliberate act not accidental contact

I suspect Anasta’s position might be different if Topine was one of the players he manages.
6% of $4mill might sway his opinion

Maguire hates penalties, Barnett ?

Warriors will not loose anyone during Origin, bit of a leg up mid season,

As good as he is Brimson gets a few injuries, as does Foran.
Campbell will plenty of starts at the Titans

Late in the second half Walker kicked the ball away when Jollife was playing the ball.
Originally ruled on field as a Titans knock on, captains challenge clearly showed Walker kicking the ball away. I thought this should have been rule a professional foul , with Walker off for 10 and a penalty ? But the ref ruled “Titans ball play on” ?

Madden kicked Raiders and Dolphins into submission past two games.
Reynolds returning from hammy, Madden will do a lot of the kicking.
Madden obviously wanted to get out from under Brooks at the Tigers,
But the Tigers with Madden at 7 and Galvin at 6 could have saved all the cap spent on Sullivan, pair of Fainu’s, Sezer and Luai.

The only true 7 at the Raiders is Fogarty, who at 30, missed half of 2022 and now half of 2024.
Sanders will get plenty of chances and would be playing for the Raiders this week if granted the release for this year.

Always start high in any negotiation, Dogs may prefer to settle, with a non disclosure clause, and not go to court

Cogger plays for the Knights ?

One of few to play for the “Fibros” & the “Silvertails”
Les Boyd the only other I can think of/

Six weeks out from kickoff and Maguire has narrowed it down to 50 .
Slater’s getting the names printed on jerseys!

How does Penrith signing Stefano Utoikamanu stop Maguire from selecting him?
If he was to make himself unavailable from rep duties 2024 it would block him from playing for Samoa against the poms at season end.

Looking at recent history,
Leilua got 2 weeks for D/Drive, Holmes got a week and $25K for not taking an illicit drug.
I recon old mates looking at 4 weeks and $25/$50 large.
Cronulla self inflicted season killing wound, same as Brown Eels last year.
Sharks star stood down after positive test as police charge half for DUI with suspended licence
I like a hard low scoring game won on defence and effort.
The pressure on teams knowing that one missed tackle could spell disaster.
The dolphin beat the Eels scoring 9 tries but had 26 missed tackle and 14 ineffective.
That’s a defensive error every two minutes, won’t win a final on that performance

So perhaps the Qld based teams should not play in Canberra or Melbourne during winter?
Darwin theory dictates only the strongest survive - Arthur on the rocks at Eels after embarrassing capitulation
Henry apposed the signing of Hayne, forced onto the Titans @ $1.2Mill per season,
Mid season 2017 with Hayne cashing his check but offering nothing but complaining about the coach, the board sacked Henry. Hayne walked away from his contract end of 2017 and rejoined Parra. Eels got the spoon 2018. exit Hayne.
Wonder what could have been, if only Greenburg had not forced Hayne into the Titans after Henry took them from 14th to finals in two seasons.

JWH ain’t no Usain Bolt.
JWH would be at top speed after 10/15M The collision is probably less than a backrower coming from 10m and running at a Keary/Walker with a significant weight advantage.
