Got something to discuss about RL in general? Then this is the place to post it.

I don’t understand the love in with Eddie’s love child Roby?

They keep going on about how many games he has played, he played about 300 off the bench until Kieron Cunningham retired.

When he was ‘pushed’ by Sky to win Man of Steel in 2007, I don’t think he even started a game that season & that’s what caused the uproar & changed how the selection process worked.

Yes he’s a good player but there are others just as good if not better than him! IMO before you all jump down my throat!!
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Whichever it is, it shouldn’t be on this forum! If it’s Roby, there’s already a thread in the General forum!

Him winning MOS that year was a farce but that's not to take away from the fact that for me, he's been up with the very best, including in the NRL.

Happy to see Roby play in the World Cup too - tire the old boy out a bit more. He's certainly not the player he was but he still caused us a few problems last night. Has had an excellent career.

By his standards he was poor last night. O’Neill was the best hooker on the field.

O’Neill is selected in the team of the round 😊
