The NRL Season of 2016
-
Bring back Benji for the Aussie test and 4 Nations.....
-
<p>Jamie Soward has been released by the Panthers to Superleague. Penrith looks set to ride with Nathan Cleary & Te Maire Martin in 2017.....</p>
-
<p>not a bad option really, they're both pretty handy. </p>
-
So Semi returned to Australia and was immediately arrested for beating up his missus. <br><br>
The cynic in me wonders at the timing. Nothing said until he threatens to leave the NRL? -
There's a thread for that ...<br><br>

<p>Parramatta signs the great Jeff Robson to led the Blue & Gold to NRL victory. They still haven't been docked all their points.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>ridiculous that they are allowed to sign any players given the salary cap drama</p> -
Storm beating the Broncos 30 -0 after 33 mins

Some nasty rumors going around about Foran , to do with money, bookies , etc<br><br>
Lets hope they arent true</p></blockquote>
<br>
And those rumours are?<br><br>
My googlising needs work. <br><br>
I do get stories about match fixing and bookies and my conspiracising is in overdrive.<br><br>

Where's Hurrell?<br>
Just tuned in late, is he playing for the tits or have they realised already that he's shit?</p></blockquote>
<br>
Wasn't allowed to play. Part of the transfer agreement. -

Shit that's right, would have added a bit of spice to the game<br><br>
Something to look forward to next season, depending on which club he's at of course.. -
<p>I think Konnie is injured right now anyway, his fitness levels weren't that great when he arrived. Tbh I think Gold Coast will move him on if he doesn't impress on & off the field this year....their coach is a hard taskmaster.</p>
-
<p>Watched the replay on Maori TV tonight. Really slow out of the gates (the first try by Hoffman was lazy defending from Thompson and Johnson) but put on the after-burners in the second half.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some thoughts:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>- Bye bye Manu. Warriors are better with Lolohea, Fusitua and Maumalo as their back three. All three can cover fullback, they rotated the position in this game, and can make massive gains down the field.</p>
<p>- Roger Tuivasa-Sheck's return in 2017 will make things tricky but I guess Lolohea will move to stand-off.</p>
<p>- Bodene Thompson was the best player for the Warriors despite his defensive lapse to start the game.</p>
<p>- Blake Ayshford pounced on a great intercept try and is my best come-back player in 2016.</p>
<p>- The Titans play some fun footy, very similar to the Warriors in that regard.</p>
<p>- That Gold Coast rookie who broke his ankle though, yuk. But he has a smoking hot girlfriend so he'll be fine.</p>
<p>- Congrats to Simon Mannering for his 250th game and Mt Smart for its 250th game. All good.</p>
