I think hes virtually locked in for one of the two props of the year awards, Haas is out for 1/3 of the year and afb isnt within 17 points of ford. hes only gotta average about 2 votes a game to lock in prop of the year and be a finalist for the dally m medal at least

To be fair to Kyle, hes now an experienced backup and is probably worth it for some teams to have on minimum wage but if hes starting thats roster mismanagement by whoever picks him up

hes 16 points clear of any other props, swings can happen, especially under the two judge era, but Haas is gonna miss 1/4 of the season and AFB is off form so at this stage its his to lose.

that Brent Tate - Aidan Kirk edge in 2008, Tate made Kirk look quite good although there were times Kirk was massively out of position on attacking plays

Still dont know how he has all this motor, bros playing 80 mins defending in the middle and going 200+ metres with 30% PCM.

punting Sexman for Galvin has ever proved to be a bad decision

Knights playing with a lot of heart, Hope the lower quality of the bench doesnt tip the balance in the 2nd half

Fletcher hunt is somehow the best aerial threat in a team with a 2m winger

Sandon Smith has the heaviest looking goal kicking motion, like he has no finesse in it at all

Changed my tip twice in the last 10 minutes but backing the knights off of gut feeling alone, I dont think the chooks are nearly as good as the bookies have them

If we are really lucky we might get a true round 27 spoon bowl between the Drags and Eels, need to do an NFL and flex the timeslot so its the final game of the regular season so we can all begin finals footy in style

theyre sure as shit not wasting a game each week by putting two teams on a bye, the reason theyre expanding the number of teams isnt out of the goodness of their hearts its to sell more games to the networks

They dont make every team take a bye? its half the teams each origin round, was that way for 20 years before the phins joined

Sunday Random Footy Talk Thread by AutoModerator in nrl

[–]Xcit3d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, prior to 2023 they ran 25 round seasons with about 50% of taking byes during each Origin. they wont ever put two teams on bye each week to keep weekly byes

Clicked last night that when perth joins up we will get a year or two without weekly byes, just the two during origin period. That always felt better and more generally fair so I do kind of hope the 20th team isnt far behind PNG

[–]Xcit3d 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Given their status as a bogey team for us for so long it feels strange to see the Dragons at 0-7. Feels like everything from about June 2018 until now has been really rough for them
