Napa or Liu

I'll go with the Coach of The Year's opinion of Casty.

No 1 coach can only judge Casty on what he saw in SL.
Casty doesn't make it in the NRL? no worries, pay him his money and wave him farewell.
At least with the Roosters players get paid.

So why won't you go with the coach of the years use of tactics, like his sideline shuffle???

Well I said up-thread that it was that, plus Robbo's reference, plus his proven experience at playing like 100,000 FG games inc. being selected in the ESL team of the year that warrants the hype.

I was more referring to the fact that your claim of 'no one has seen him play', was obvious bollocks.

On top of that, he made a bigger impression in that Wigan game with limited time, than did the other pigs.

I think that injury permitting, he'll change our fortunes.

Being selected in the ESL dream team does not mean much mate. It is not in the same quality as the NRL, not even close. Further, if you want to mention the ESL dream team, Brett Finch and Scott Dureau were also in the same "dream team" in 2012. We all know how average those two were in the NRL. I just find it laughable how everyone seems to be an expert on Casty. However, I do agree that Robbo is a reliable reference and I do trust his decisions bear fruit

Optimism is healthier, man.

I'll tell you what though, "calf injury" must be code for "severed leg". He's fair dinkum been out now for 7 weeks.

He must have ripped it off the bone. Anyone know what actually happened?

Maloney and finch are similar players in my books. Both have played origin (finch kicking the winning field goal in one) both have won premierships, and both need a better player in the team to make them look good (finch just got edged out for dally m with freddy in the team) and maloney needed sbw to get him a premiership.

Maloney probably edges out finch with his goal kicking ability.

Yeah - daFunch was ok. It wasn't his fault we lost those gf's.

I'll support him on Casty...and if he's telling our wingers to guard the sidelines and never let anyone pass them on the outside then I'll support him on that.
If he's not, then he's gonna be losing many more games this season because of it...including today's game.

Liu for tonights game..

Couldn't agree more.. He made those extra metres every time he hit the line

As you refer to BM, front rowers usually take longer than other positions to come on.

Because of that, I really don't get the sudden massive rise of george burge$$?? Back in 2012, Napa and in particular Evans really stood out in the under 20's and would dominate the burge$$ boys, while george burge$$ was referred to by good judges as being "cumbersome".

Fast forward to 2013 and 2014, george burge$$ is now regarded as being one of the best props in the game at the young age of 21, while Evans has been lucky to play 3 games off the bench and has been nothing special. WTF happened??

I know that if I was forced into a situation where I was told that I had to put my life on whether george takes performance enhancing drugs or not, I would have to put my life on that 'he does' take performance enhancing drugs. Just take a look at his physique and his sudden 'huge' rise from one cumbersome year to the next year a superstar!!

The thing is though, if he is taking performance enhancing drugs, we will not find out for 5 or more years due to the masking agents that he would no doubt take. And that is based on if indeed he is drug tested with the random testing that gets done.

Finally someone who knows abt the bugget brothers, yes they have been doing it for a while!!!!!

Napa has to play, he's needed to make effective tackles first up.
No good playing Aubusson on a wet track.
