Re: Smiths kicking

High hanging kick = more time for defenders to form a structured line and pressure the catcher, less opportunity for broken play counter attacking. More time for catcher to get into position. THe chase has to be good to make it effective otherwise it's a gift of easy metres for the catcher. Low grou...

Re: Injuries

Cooper hurt his knee around 5 mins before coming off. He was running the ball in , changes his line of run slightly and his knee just wobbles a bit then after the tackle he has a slight limp.

Re: Man of Steel winner attempting to return to the NRL

Good luck to Bevan.

Hope he gets chance to play for a decent team and be a starting half at some point in his career. He's always been clear that his goal is to go back at some point.

I'd rather he stays, but best of luck if he does go.

Re: England boss Shaun Wane names squad for Tonga series as Warrington Wolves, StvHelens & Wigan Warriors dominate

Really surprised he's picked Newman - I didn't think he has the sort of attitude Wane liked.


Wonder why no KPP or Farnworth (unless he has a knock)
