Foran says, let me try that cute chip kick to the right side one more time because it hasn’t worked the previous 9 times I’ve done it.

Must have chatted to Beaudy during the week

I thought Timoko was huge too. Not much to that kid but he ran the ball strong and made metres every time.
-
So ...
... first game of league that I've watched in entirety for fuck knows how long.
Enjoyed it.
Deserved win by the goodies. Had their moments.
Best team in the first half, even if CNK tried to out Billy Slater Billy Slater with that throw back into play.
Samoa looked great first 20 of the 2nd half.
Best team wom
-
And it showed…..
-
Aussie team to play England looks pretty dangerous.
Imagine 12 months ago someone telling you that backline is being selected for Australia. They would laugh at you.

It does look good as does the line ups for Tonga v Samoa.. international league starting to look competitive

yeah, relaxing the Origin rules for Tonga and Samoa has definitely had an impact.
Big NRL news is Jonah Pezet signing with the Eels for 12 months and then the Broncos straight after. Insert Melbourne Storm player signing two contracts joke here.

Yeah I feel for the eels on this one, they thought they had their man and then it all changed. Like Ryles will invest much time into Pezet now. Insert Dylan Edwards all over again
..well done Broncos though
watch the circus begin now for even Metcalf in November.

Where will Metcalf actually go though? The Dogs are the only one out of the higher placed clubs who I could see making use out of him.
Otherwise he'll only be attracting interest from sides down the ladder.

@African-Monkey I see that the Bears are trying to chase his signature, while the Dragons might be keen to add him to boost their playmaking stocks (hope not)

Does it matter what club though, if he wants to head back to Sydney for family reasons? there would be a few interested. Thats the line the media is using and the warriors are preparing like he is potentially going. Dragons and Souths obvious ones. Rumours now even the Eels might be interested in him as a six given the Pezet saga. Dogs could use one but dont know how much money they have.
Could even see the Sharks making a play, even with Nicho there since he went to Endeavour and played for them previously
And if willing to travel further and its about money and not family then yes the Bears or elsewhere open up, but supposedly its the family thing
-
Dick Fingers Ford was actually really good this year.
Capewell had a resurgent year as well, but i have seen that before from older players and they do tend to come back to earth with a thump.I wouldn't be breaking the bank to keep Metcalf but we should be paying him as there are very few options.
-
Ford is actually pretty good as a middle, doesn't have to do slicing runs where his hands are slower than his feet, but makes a shit load of tackles. Agree on Capewell, not a threat on attack but covered alot and far too much at centre because our centres were way below par. But did ok overall. Need to fix our centres first and foremost. Time catches everyone eventually and that resurgence as you say could be one season only
Warriors not willing to put too much money into keeping Metcalf either which is good news, they're willing to match someone who plays 11 games a season which is probably why he is testing the market.
