b1807 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Nearly kick off time.... 1 question and one comment.. How do the sharks keep buying players eg Hodkinson... And comment... nearly reached for the tissues when I read Barrett may not be able to fill his roster at Manly. Maybe the team in Q1 should look at the team in comment 1 ... and why they have current issues. Just a thought from a QLDer who can remember the floggings prior to the advent of Origin. Yeehah.

bwodie Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Sharks only had to pay circa 150k for hodkinson, knights paying the rest I am glad he is gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illawarra_steelers Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 they also lost jack bird so would save $ money there. i would be more concerned with the 'salary cap' at the chooks and brisbane. looking forward to this season with the addition of ben hunt and james graham to the dragons (and thank god dugan is gone) though we seem to be struggling from 2 to 5. lots of excellent juniors coming through maybe not ready for 2018 would also add that this coming season looks the most even in memory where with a bit of luck any team on their day could make the top 8.

Autosteve Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 i would be more concerned with the 'salary cap' at the chooks and brisbane. Chooks....creative accounting......Brisbane....cheating.;) Half the chooks have gone to Newcastle. I think we will be using school boys for half the team this year. (and thank god dugan is gone) +1 Salary cap? Is there a salary cap at Melbourne is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason_roberts13 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Yeh I'm lookin forward to seeing how the Eels go this year and what Fittler can do with the blues in Origin Sent from my iPhone using Aussie Arcade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I'm still bummed and a little pissy that the Eels took back Hayne, I mean WTF :confused: I think most Eels fans are in the same boat...... Hope he proves us wrong, just can't see it, believe his best days are well in the past. - - - Updated - - - would also add that this coming season looks the most even in memory where with a bit of luck any team on their day could make the top 8. Agreed, most teams look good on paper, should be a good season. Any early tips for the premiership? I am biased towards the Eels (we can live in hope, have been since '86) and the Cowboys look strong with a few 'ok' players returning this season.

twobobsworth Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Brisbane were pretty bad. Hard to gauge first round though. James Graham will be good for the dragons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleazius Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Can’t gauge much from the first 4 rounds let alone round 1. Nice to see Brisbane get pumped though all the same. Storm are still the team to beat this season, even without Cronk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robm Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 What about Ponga for the knights...Yep. Great player. I reckon our Cowboys should have pushed harder to keep him. Sent from my ALP-L29 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twobobsworth Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Still too early for anything meaningful. Souths, Brisbane pretty woeful. Roosters will be better when Keary come back. Melbourne and Cowboys the teams to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty happy Panthers got up. It’ll take 3-5 weeks before we know who is who. Melbourne and Cowboys are still the teams to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
