Norths Side for this week.

If Naiqama and Lussick were pulled late from the Bears game, in my view, they will be in the hunt for selection. Naiqama in for Smith and Lussick to hooker with Watson back at 14. I think Robbo will react as we all agree Watson is not a hooker and more effective at 14 and Smith was shocking in defence. Naiqama will be a caretaker until Suaalii is ready to come back.

I know plenty on here have written him off but I’m still really hopeful he can put it all together because I think there’s a really good player in there.

With knucklehead Collins expected to be outed for a couple of weeks this is Daniel's opportunity to make amends for his past immaturity and poor discipline.
I've mentioned it before and still strongly believe he must start the game playing with controlled aggression for 20 mins rather than have him warm the bench and then take the field with reserves of adrenalin and sentiment.

[theGman]

You told me you were converted after that photo you text me the other day. LOL mun.

My o my the Titans fullback has a decent set of bumpers on offer.

So him over Whyte you say? I know Whyte's a back rower but interesting to hear Suluka-Fifita was a standout.

Collins and Radley were not charged.

No charges coming out of our game.

Don’t know how Colllins has missed a suspension over the last 2 games but he will be sweet to play next week.

Not wrong there Gmun.

Very, very surprised.
The coaching staff need to address his poor 3rd man in attempts.

It's encouraging to know there's genuine replacements up front if needed.

Yes really annoying that Fox League is showing a girl game rather than reserve grade. Must frustrate the players too. I reckon they like being televised for the exposure and as a chance to show their talents.

The "Girl Game" as you call it is the future of rugby league though and deserves to be on prime time TV/PTV and will continue to grow in popularity and standard.

Currently they have Lisa Fioala Cup Under 17's / Tarsha Gale Cup Under 19's / NSW Cup Women's Premiership and NRLW. - An Under 21's comp would be a good addition as well as comps from age 12 or 13 upwards

It is virtually the only area of the game that has somewhat unlimited growth potential i.e playing numbers and corporate/business/individual sponsorship.

I am annoyed that the Chooks vs Knights NRLW game wasn't shown on Channel 9 especially since the Chooks won.

One thing I noticed though is the Women are better goal kickers than quite a few of the Men ones.

Mate I actually think our front row is our weak point right now. Way too slow for the modern game.

Agree....JWH has slowed down but given he's ageing.
SST is gun shy with past injuries and is off the pace.
Baker is more of a backrower for mine.

Ben Thomas is my preferred choice to be groomed. Young bull with aggression never backs down.
The Va'a lad may feature in a year's time depending on injuries and readiness.

All those Haas doubters or haters who don't rate him or don't entertain the thought of him in RWB should get their head read. His work rate and stamina is undeniable.
If he's successful in his impending court case against the Orr brothers I bet clubs will be fighting amongst each other for his signature even at his asking price....$800-$900K per annum.

Your still allowed to tackle around the legs & if the ref hasn’t called held then its fair game. Both of the tackles Lindsay has been put on report for had NO force or aggression to them & that’s why he’s allowed to play. They weren’t canon ball tackles they were flops to stop the momentum.

I really think we are judging our guys way too early and too harshly. It was our first game of the season so I wouldn't expect Jared to be firing on all cylinders just yet. I disagree with you about SST, I thought he was anything but gun shy on the weekend and carted the ball with a fair bit of purpose and vigor. I think there's still life in the old bulls and wouldn't write them off just yet.

Cannot see that happening King.
The mens game is the show piece always has & always will.
I commend you for liking the womens game & there is nothing wrong with liking it but all the men & women that I talk to about the footy don’t like the womens footy.
