Gus exists outside the normal and like the majority of the RL media creates story’s to create content they can argue against.
Virtually everyone person I know understands the rules of the game and unfortunately for Gould if he admitted as much he would no longer be in the spotlight 👍

Fair comment not coming from unfair commentators whining about rules they should know off by heart

Don’t have an opinion on wether he pulled out as much as he could, all I’m saying is that whatever he was attempting he executed it poorly

'If the NRL are serious about concussions, where does this sit?' Kevvie fires up after May escapes ban for Walsh's fracture

What was May going to do when he got to Walsh if Walsh didn’t tip on.
Grab his tag of his shorts ?May had every intention of creasing Walsh in the process of shutting down the play and there’s zero wrong with that intent, the execution was poor.

'If the NRL are serious about concussions, where does this sit?' Kevvie fires up after May escapes ban for Walsh's fracture

Everytime someone is coming into make a tackle they are trying to impose the most force they can, wether that person is NAS or Brooks the intent is the same.
May got his timing and positioning wrong and that needs to be addressed.

Well done Panthers, I thought the Eels showed some real ticker.
Unfortunately they just ran out of gas, anyhow let’s just bag Harper 👎

Izack Attack: Tago celebrates new contract with stunning showing but Panthers sweat on Fisher-Harris

Aside from the time he came back from COVID and lost 7 kilos and got a bath from Talaki.
He has been pretty good he sat at about 93 percent for his efficiency last year.
Any one would struggle to defend if they got shifted to an unfamiliar role in the middle of a game.

If a player is running at you with the ball and steps at the last second you still have the obligation to not hit him in the head with your shoulder.
Think of all the times you have had someone bump into you unexpectantly, how many of them did you drop your shoulder into and how many did you grab and help?
I know it’s footy but….

Tipster's nightmare: Ricky's written-off Raiders upset rusty Knights to show they won't be wooden spoon fodder

Like rats fleeing a sinking ship, Smith can see the writing on the wall and is the first of many to abandon this train wreck. 😁
Good luck to Matt he’ll do a great job, stepped up for Smith before and went OK 👍

Shake-up for Slater's Origin coaching staff with Smith saying sayonara to Maroons role

I have had to reposition my salary cap point.
My reference point for the salary cap used to be JT and DCE.
If KP is on 1.4, then AFB is probably at the top end but on about 750K if compared to JT and DCE.
I’m not sure that makes sense 👍

Fonua-Blake finds new home as Sydney club gets million-dollar Christmas present

I think its pretty obvious, the Storm are a very skilled side and will always there or there abouts.
What made them absolutely top notch was Smith.

Pressure Points: Cameron Munster will know that 2023 wasn't his best - but he remains key to Storm's 2024

Sure Melbourne have lost players.
Panthers over the last two years.
Api
Kikau
Burton
Capewell
Naden
Hopgood

So who starts the sets for you in your system, are you waiting for a middle to get back and take the first hit up.
The role of the winger has evolved so much over the last 8 to 10 years its ridiculous.
They are actually closer to a NFL running back than anything else.
It’s a bit of a disservice especially to weapons like To’o to say that they don’t effect the outcome of the game 👍

Roosters offer 'something I couldn't knock back': Marquee Mark reveals why he's joining the Bondi bunch

That was not my point, your reply has absolutely zero to do with my post.
You are trying to argue against a point that I never made.

'Embarrassing post': Tigers star in strife over social media comment on LGBTQ+ inclusion

Of course you can’t speak your mind without consequence on some topics, especially if you are a high profile employee.
Should people be able to say whatever they want without any risk of consequence.
The concept of free speech is such a misunderstood thing

'Embarrassing post': Tigers star in strife over social media comment on LGBTQ+ inclusion

The guy has nothing to prove, he has done it all.
Hopefully he gets back to full fitness.
Where he sits in the big picture of fullbacks will be debated for a long time.
Personally I’ve got him just above Mini and Bowen and a touch under Slater, Locky and Mullins.
On his day as good as any and his career will stack up against the very best 👍

Pressure Points: Why 2024 might be the most crucial year of James Tedesco's career

For levels above its Smith by a mile.
Smith and who
Locky, Burt and Fittler
Slater, Mini, Mullins and GI
Thurston, Alf, Cronk and Sterlo
I dislike the Immortals concept so much because you need to degenerate someone’s performance to promote the player you like.

Six of the best: The standout options for the ultimate honour in the NRL Immortal debate

Slater is in the exact position that Fittler was in at the end of 2019 👍

'Ultimate professional': Maguire quits Kiwis, leaving way clear for Origin job

If your employer asked you to walk a tightrope and then let you do so without mitigating the risks then they would be before the courts if something went wrong.
These players are employees ( or contractors) and are aware of the risks, it still doesn’t stop the employer from having to provide a safe workplace.

What happened to the NRL's sin bin, HIAs, mandatory stand-downs and independent doctors?

They get paid their value within the cap and on occasion for their future potential.
I just don’t see how restricting someone’s potential to earn money over a short period of their life when they have the ability to earn well is even a thought that people are having.

Demetriou calls for cap on salaries for young players to prevent poaching like Roosters luring Suaalii from Souths

Mate that’s like saying that a company’s wage budget is a restraint of trade.
Businesses only have so much money to spend on wages and they need to manage who and how many people get paid.
People leave jobs because their current employer can’t or is unwilling to offer more money all the time.

Demetriou calls for cap on salaries for young players to prevent poaching like Roosters luring Suaalii from Souths

Of course players don’t have a right to an NRL career, they do however have right to be paid as an adult if they are an adult.
👍
On another note, being extremely good at something and be rewarded for it financially is not a privelage, it is a reward for all the hard work done.
The privelage is us being able to watch them play in their prime

Demetriou calls for cap on salaries for young players to prevent poaching like Roosters luring Suaalii from Souths

And what happens if a supremely talented player at 19 had the potential to get 600k but was restricted to 200k and gets a career ending injury….
I know people are allowed to have opinions, but I’m glad he’s not my boss 👍

Jacks a great centre and Ricky tried, it’s a teachable skill is all I’m saying.
👍

Smart Signings: Ricky's Raiders were right to let Wighton go - but they might not see the benefit for a while

I’m not talking about generational talent, I’m talking about Ricky not being able to stop Jack putting it into the grandstand instead of the dead in goal.
Walters and Mam, Bennett and Katoa.
As I said I’m not talking elite, I’m talking about improving or developing.

Smart Signings: Ricky's Raiders were right to let Wighton go - but they might not see the benefit for a while

I think Stick does an OK job as a coach, his development of players is another story in my opinion.
How can someone have one of the most accurate kicking games in the history of the game and as a coach not be able to pass that onto Jacky.
Fair enough if your good at your job you may not necessarily be able to teach someone how to do the same as you.
Ricky’s job is to teach people how to do things and his inability to develop or markedly improve his halves is a bit telling for me 👍
