Sharks be ambitious

This coach has Lomax playing at the very zenith of his ability, using the 7 rounds thus far as the sample he’s the best form player in the NRL.

What sane person would toss that and join up with a Parramatta coaching team who’s won nothing and are going backwards?

'Complete performance' sees Dragons stun Warriors - and Lomax rocket into Origin contention

Cowboys had an ‘incredibly soft schedule’ last year as well and somehow stayed unanswerable to it compared to the raucous pile on the Sharks endured.

Contenders or ...? Cowboys shoot to top of the ladder but need to claim big scalp to prove title credentials

“We completely lost the ruck and they blew us away,” said the Wahs coach.

Absolutely, haven’t seen such an uneven time to get set since the early days of the Storm wrestle.

They inexplicably dawdled to their chase wouldn’t jump at bombs defending or attacking and fluffed all their big moments.. the antithesis of the Dragon game who played proud last night.

Sharks beat them in identical fashion a month ago so it’s no secret.

How tough was Katoa both sides of the ball.. haven’t seen that before.

'We gave up': Under pressure Arthur rages at 'part-time footy team' Parra as undermanned Dolphins run riot

It was a beautiful Oryn Keely offload that set in motion Dom Young’s try of the decade last year when they were both at the Knights.. and here he is, doing it all again.

Could have saved some time Stu by opening up the VB hard earned index page.. a deeper, albeit still rough indicator of forward grunt work.

The NRL stat that isn't one, but should be: Working out which forwards really pull their weight

You’d be disappointed if Robbo cited those 2 peccadillos as influential in their loss.

'Both were really clear': Roosters in a rage over ref's contentious calls as Storm win on the back of two dubious tries

Sounds like Penrith (shopping Garner) are trying to generate cash to have a giant splash on someone.

Couldn’t be Fifita.

The Fish that broke the Panthers’ back: Dynasty in danger with JFH the biggest blow in long list of star departures

The thing that distinguishes him and Leota apart from that street cred. is they’re both very much big game players.

When it really matters at the end of the year in finals and test matches, no matter how battered and broken they are they’ll take the middle.

Robbo could try ‘compassionate grounds’ and have a shot at bringing Val back.

Joey Manu leaves a huge hole in the Roosters backline - and it comes at the worst possible time for Trent Robinson

Nicho and Jahrome are both better 6s or 7s than Burto.

Wild idea but Blues should actually pick Origin team on form this time around - and that means Tedesco’s time is up

Could you level the same age criticism at Wayne’s pack ?
Bromwich’s, Felise, Nicholls, Wallace, JMK, Kerr..

Too old, too slow: Do these two stats explain why Souths have fallen off a cliff in 2024?

The only way Teddy won’t be there is if he taps himself on the shoulder.

When that happens Turbo straight in.

Wild idea but Blues should actually pick Origin team on form this time around - and that means Tedesco’s time is up

He was given another chance with a minute to go, right in front 25 out, zero defender pressure and wasn’t good enough, nor were they then good enough on a short blind with defence there to stop young Strange from running it down the other end with it all on the line to win it.

‘They revealed the Titans were offside 28 times (Raiders 10) that they were not pinged for.’

Coach needs to be tougher than that and tend to what he has control over.

'F--- you': Insults fly after Des confronts Ricky as Annesley admits yet another blunder robbed Titans of victory

Referee Peter Gough using Blocker’s ‘he just can’t disappear’ for not awarding the Sharks a penalty for Dean Hawkins laying in the ruck and denying Brailey a clean pickup after a Talakai linebreak.

NRL Round 6 Talking Points: Concussion sub needs a fix, learning about 'disruption', why does everyone hate Gutho?

Tohu Harris wants a quiet word.

NRL Round 6 Talking Points: Concussion sub needs a fix, learning about 'disruption', why does everyone hate Gutho?

Well, just using Manu as an example.

Roosters had 42 sets. Joey touched the ball 45 times.

Over riding majority of those were from ruck play.

There was no yardage game winner in this game.

In the case of the three mentioned their meters are indicative of the grunt work and effort they put in in the middle where you bend your back, piston your wheels and earn every centimeter .

What Carty did was worse than Milf for sure.

NRL Round 6 Talking Points: Concussion sub needs a fix, learning about 'disruption', why does everyone hate Gutho?

We all heard about Joey M’s run meters on the weekend and how CNK in another big game matched that (now THAT’s a fullback !). Great work for sure.

But middle man Joe Tapine also broke 300 this round with almost half the number of receipts.

Love Gutho, captains complaining to refs aren’t a bother coaches almost expect it as per the job description.

Moreso his head, it’s morphed into 8th or 9th century Dane… Bjorn Ironside.
With the same fighting will.

Should just enjoy the time on top of the ladder I guess but it wasn’t a particularly satisfying 80 mins overall.

Nicho played like he’d been in bed with the flu all week, really lackluster so the right side seemed infected and really non threatening.. Trindall was the better half tonight.

Ronaldo just keeps on keeping on bettering his game.

'If that changes, time will tell': Demetriou defiant despite defeat as Souths lose three to injury in Sharks loss

Is a hip drop a hip drop or are they graded ?
That was 2 weeks minimum.

Whether a bloke gets up straight away or not is dependent on most cases on the will of the tackled player.

NRL Round 6 judiciary: Aloiai banned but Joey says hit 'just an accident', Sharks star suspended, Milford to miss two

When Kalyn is at first receiver revving his engines, hands out ready for the ball, too often his dummy half brushes him and goes right.

Why would they do that ?

Knights have some very skillful players but are top heavy with too many remedial reactional thinkers in the group to go deep.

'Embarrassing': Joey fumes over Knights keeping injured Ponga on the park as Roosters rally to win nail-biter

Rooster right side : Keary Jennings Pauga v Knights left : Ponga KPP Best and probably Marzhew.
Jennings could well get wrapped around the uprights again.
Wonder if women in league would sponsor/ crowdfund that.
