Kick them out for good :)

The eyes have it ;)

Now let's see...who would Labor want? Dutton is facing a massive advertising campaign against him even now in his own electorate and is up against it to even win his seat they say up here in Qld. 

Carry over points for next season would be fair lol.

Definitely not, he was appalling.

At the time i think I said that Remis Smith had about as much chance of playing NRL again as a potato being PM.....
....
.... hey, wait a minute..... anyway..

.... He's come a long way since then. And I guess, so has the potato.

In a victory for diversity, Austrlalia could be the first country to have a potato as PM by the end of the day.

Parramatta in big salary cap trouble for providing 'under priced' rental properties to players.
What's worse for them is they only recently replaced their board of directors for causing them so much trouble & now it's one of the new ones that was forced out early this year that's turned whistle-blower on the club. I suppose it'll have to be huge fines because they can hardly be stripped of the wooden spoon.

I dont retract my criticism of him and doubt Zef does either.
He was a liability for the team. 
But.... he has fixed up his defensive woes and is now quite a threat. I'm glad.

I never understood why people critised Smith after one game when he was only a teenager who was a last minute call up. Probably the same people who would pass on Latrell Mitchell and Cameron Munster

The dressing sheds seem a whole lot happier and positive these days post Despot :)

We're getting back to where we want to be.

whats the story with Foran? I saw him yesterday, where is his head space. Is He happy, does he get actively involved with helping out the team, mentoring (footy stuff) just wondering 

I agree it is great to see improvement in this area.

The Hoppa try against the Broncos is right up there. I still prefer the Lewis try, but there are 3-4 good contenders.

The Jackson, Holland, Smith combination is looking great in attack without a lot of help from the half.

The Lewis kicking/passing game is looking great again with minimal help from his halves partner.

With the Morris Bro's moving on we need to find a potent attacking combination for the left.

I agree that Woolford is worth trying in 2019.

I think we can enjoy the off season and genuinely look forward to 2019.

Well said Marki on both posts

….and what about the kicking accuracy of Rhys Martin?

He went at 100% yesterday (again) and is probably sitting on about 97% for the year. I only remember seeing him miss 1 goal, but I could be wrong...

We haven't scored many pretty tries over the years, but we have certainly scored more of them in the last 8 or so weeks than we have in the last 3 years

Like you, I savaged him for his poor defensive reads when he first played first grade, but hasn't he turned it around!
I am so impressed and so happy for him and the team.

Im also impressed with Holland's calmness. When he made the break (good one too bursting onto the ball), I wanted him to kick over RTS so the chasers can get to the ball, but he calmly summed up the situation and threw the pass to Hoppa on the inside who then also calmly put Lewis over with an inside ball.

A couple of years ago, we would make a rare break and feel as though we just HAD to score from it, so we kept throwing it around until we lost it or scored.
Now, we seem to have players who show patience and take the right option (sometimes take the tackle). I like it. It is a good sign.

Smith's no look pass to Holland against the Knights. Also Hopoate's try against the Broncos from an infield kick off Holland.

Did anyone notice brave dog
When the team ran out of the
Tunnel he was @ the front
I loved it on ya brave dog

The Lewis try against the Warriors has to be close to the best try we have posted all season.

If is one of the few long range tries, involving multiple passes, and no element of luck, every player did their job in the play perfectly. 

It is great to finish the season playing our best footy of the year, you can make a strong argument that we are doing that. 

Lewis, Smith, Holland & Martin are making a difference.

But Pay has got most of the team playing fairly well.

Anyone think of a better try this year?

He's a star. Behind Lewis no player has impressed me more this season. So much so that I think he should be given a go at the vacant center position next year, in fact unless we nab someone else specifically for the spot with runs under their belt, I think he deserves first shot at it.

I stand by what I said a few years about him, and I stand by what I say now about him.

100% agree on Anna’s & Nancy’s comments..... the one player that has really bounced back & lifted since his Raiders game shocker has been K Holland..... he’s played really well and combines well with R Smith

Defensively he needs more work, but his attack & combination with Smith & Jackson is exciting


Next year.... Lewis is a must in the halves

He’ll have to work hard combining with new players outside of him once B & J Moz go


I still think, even with a few games to go... Pay must give Woolford a run off the bench

He’s worth keeping from what I’ve seen

He always had the goods but his compound leg fracture really set him back but now has all the confidence back and is playing great.

Steve has done a great job and it was great to see Lewis praise Deano up. I like Ogden too.

How good is Reimis Smith. Literally can’t believe how well he has stepped up in 1st grade.

Georgallis must be doing a good job preparing these guys to step up. I think Ogden is also looking the goods 

the younger players seem to be prosering under Pay and the more experienced players seem to be getting des out of their system. 

Yes Anna,we now have hope. Top 8 here we come.

yeehaa all three grades again, quite enjoying the back end of the season. I can't wait for next year. 

As there were only about 50 people at the 20s game, I am one of a very few who saw 3 grades win live and proud to do so.  Isn't it great to see a player having fun at a presser and having the humility to say what he did wrong. He is a breath of fresh air and I knew he could play well in 1st grade as a half  if given the chance.  

Frawley is a DUD has always been a DUD and will forever be a DUD. 

Marki

The only doubt Frawley creates with his dummy is whether he will trip over his own feet.
Yeah he made some tackles because the opposition run at him, mostly he tackles and falls back enabling a quick play the ball.
His kicking was aweful today NEXT TO LEWIS.
Why do you carry on with talking him up when he at best is a good ISP player.
The guy you criticise has been our best player in the last month yet you apologise for one of our worst.
