If Penrith, Parramatta and Wests Tigers formed into one super club they'd probably be in contention for the 8.

I suggest the following team names:
- Parrariff Tigpies
- Greater Western Sydney (play lots of home games in Canberra),
Yeah it'd be nice to follow a team with half the geographic reach of the Broncos.

But nah I prefer to follow teams from actual places.

Here come the dogs.... Josh Reynolds two man of the mathes in a row, nice. Bloody hell, their forward pack is ****ing ridiculous. Tolman, Kasiano, Pritchard, Williams, Eastwood, Graham, Jackson, Finucane...

They're a long way back though. Tough to win it if you don't finish top four.

Agree re Souths. They're the shizz this year. They treated Brisbane like you do a mozzie that has the temerity to bite you on the leg. Thoroughly squashed. Ingles is ridiculous, Reynolds is a young gun, Merritt scores tries for toffee and their forward pack is massive. Famed Asotasi played lock a few weeks back. They just steam roll sides.

I didn't even bother watching the Doggies game, but I thought the Broncos Souths game was quality. Souths really are a terrific side - withstanding the kick out on the full, I thought John Sutton was terrific.

I'm so happy that Daley loves Pearce as I would be much more worried if NSW selected Adam Reynolds.

went to sleep at half time thank ****, we were never a chance. benji shouldn't have played.

i think pearce and maloney or carney is the right combo. adam reynolds kicking is awesome but sometimes he just grabs at blokes in defence, and in origin that's costly. josh reynolds is gun when his pack dominates, but he's been shut down through the early part of the season. give them another year imo

I'm just waiting for Pearce to fail us this year. If we do win, it'll be down to Maloney.

Deadset it feels like Crabb's the only poster on this forum that doesn't think Reynolds > Pearce.

I think its reasonably close between the pair but with Reynolds you get a great kicking game and a goal kicker. Daley wants Pearce so its going to have to be Maloney or Carney (as uvelocity said) to partner Pearce as they are both decent goal kickers.

They aren't as powerful as a JReynolds or a Sutton - Maloney defense has been good though this year. I rate a switched on Carney but I don't think he has a great game all year while the other 3 five eight candidates have.

Just out of curiousity, is James Segeyaro eligible for Origin? If so which state? I know he's from PNG but just wondered if he's still allowed ala Adrian Lam.

Josh Reynolds is so average fmd, he is Mick Ennis 2.0 the justification i keep hearing for putting him in "hes a competitor, suited to origin" never heard a more brain dead reason for putting someone in origin in my life, it kept Farah out of the team for years and look how much better we are with him. I'll say it again, Reynolds is an average playmaker, average kicker, average ball runner and an average defender. he is average, and if the channel 9 commentary team didnt have such a hard on for him he wouldn't be in contention

Carney should be 6 ftr.

What the **** Melbourne? Also, Segeyaro played his junior footy for Cairns.
