Just a kid and has a big future ahead of him according to a few pundits. Plays halfback so can’t really crack the Panthers team. Playing for the Dolphins right now.

When did Sorensen decide to be a Kiwi? IIRC his uncle Kurt told one of his own sons that he wasn't a Kiwi because he didn't grow up in NZ.

@mariner4life What's this Neame guy like? Also what position does he play?

Neame is a lock. Bit of a weapon. Plenty of size about him. Is a bench player for a full strength Cowboys side.

I just googled him - was surprised to see a pic of a white dude.

@Nepia ginger too

Yuck, the picture I saw didn't highlight that, but now a look at google images shows he's almost full blown.

Anyway, always good to have a token white guy in the team. I assume he's the captain too.

I know I've just never watched him

from what I’ve seen in the NSW Cup, he has a good left foot step and has a bit of size for a halfback, so doesn’t mind running it or playing dummy half.

read that before. He's cooked. Will not improve the Tigs

Fuck it's good being a Cowboys supporter

Suck shit Manly

mariner4life

It was a good Friday night of footy all round really. Brisbane had a real crack at Melbourne despite some significant outs and an on-field official team who seemed determined to fuck them.

ACT Crusader

@mariner4life watched a replay and the Storm don’t just get the rub of the green, they get the whole green forrest. They do play at a great pace though.

ARHS

Wow. Thrilling finish to Raiders v Knights. Fantastic play from kiwi Joseph Tapine behind his goal line with 3 minutes to go and then the match winner at the other end with a minute to go.

Dice

Two positives about the game against the Panthers:

We didn't get beat by 80.
We scored a try.

ha ha, havent seen any sport for 10 days due to travel, but just seeing scoreline, I would agree with that.

and a further positive is we play the other cripple in the league the West Tigers next, who got beat by a similar score..by the Bulldogs lol

mariner4life

hey, look, Matt Lodge is going to play for the Roosters for the rest of the year

for $100k

why so cheap you ask? well, the Warriors are still picking up the tab

What a lovely and generous club we are

mariner4life

also, hilariously, coaches don't want a bar of either the Warriors or the Tigers. Because we are both complete dumpster fires from the top down.

bayimports

@mariner4life to be honest this was a great pick up for anyone and the most stupid mistake from the warriors owner..Roosters were in danger of even missing the eight surprisingly, with him up front I doubt this happens at all

bayimports

@mariner4life this one doesn't surprise me at all looking at what the current owners are doing at both clubs, ciraldo, flanagan, woolf all said no fking way, you reap what you sow I guess.

absolutely. Germ of a bloke, but an effective metre eater through the middle. And can make momentum stopping hits. I am surprised it took any club this long to pick him up, especially for $100k

Warriors with another awful decision among an enormous number of bad decisions.
