Digging through some Round 1 news, and was just reminded of something. Despite being suspended for five matches, Asofa-Solomona will only miss two NRL games - the Grand Final and the season opener. The NRL decided to include all the Pacific Tests. Remember when they umm'd and ahh'd over...

Yeah the story coming out of the Titans is that AJ and Campbell have been training in the halves with Foran being fashioned into a Marshall style bench utility. If they name Campbell at halfback, I think all it means is that he'll swap over to the right-side with AJ on the left. That's how I...

That could be a way to fit Junior Tupou into the side. I couldn't find room for him in my 17, but the Dolphins seemed very keen on him so I can't picture him playing too much ISC. What do you make of the five-eighth position Wolfie? On paper it seems like a weakness and while Nikorima can pose...

Guler to the Dragons, effective immediate. I wonder where Francis ends up?

You're thinking of William Herbert, who primarily plays 6 but was being fashioned as a backrow at the Broncos.

Working our way down in alphabetical order... Dolphins 2025 1. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow 2. Jamayne Isaako 3. Jake Averillo 4. Herbie Farnworth 5. Jack Bostock 6. Kodi Nikorima 7. Isaiya Katoa 8. Daniel Saifiti/Tom Flegler 9. Jeremy Marshall-King 10. Tom Gilbert 11. Felise Kaufusi/Connelly Lemuelu...

100% and I don't want this thread to be a personal soap-box, I'd love to see other perspectives. 6 or 7, Trindall will still play down that left-hand side. It's just a question of whether he'll continue to handle the majority of the kicking which he did at the end of the year, or whether he'll...

Gerome was the best player in QCup before he ruptured his patella. I think he would have played NRL last year had it not been for the injury. I don't think he'll get first crack but I'm far from convinced with the current halves options at Souths so there's an opportunity if he's good enough...

I'll start from the top and pick Cronulla: Cronulla Sharks 2025 1. William Kennedy 2. Sione Katoa 3. Jesse Ramien 4. Kayal Iro 5. Ronaldo Mulitalo 6. Braydon Trindall 7. Nicho Hynes 8. Addin Fonua-Blake 9. Blayke Brailey 10. Oregon Kaufusi 11. Briton Nikora 12. Teig Wilton 13. Cameron McInnes...

Let's see which teams we have to cover: Cronulla Sharks Dolphins Gold Coast Titans Melbourne Storm Newcastle Knights Penrith Panthers Wests Tigers We have a whole board dedicated to the Broncos, so I'll save the discussion there. I was hoping you'd take the Knights since you have a fondness...

The timing of Coates' demotion was strange as well considering it happened right after he produced the only decent play in an utterly forgettable performance against Souths (try-saver on Gagai). It just seemed like Kev had drawn a line in the sand. Both Pangai Jr and Lodge played their last...

They always seemed resigned to losing Manu, but they were confident he'd return to them again. That withered through out the year but I guess we'll see in 2026. I think you're right on Tupouniua and that's another reason why the Fifita backflip hurt them. The Roosters were making room for...

I'm a fan of Gray and I'm sure he'll play a role through out the campaign but I think Latrell at fullback will be the preferred option. Otherwise if Gray forces Wayne's hand I'd expect two options. 1. Gray 3. Graham 4. Mitchell 6. Wighton 7. Walker 1. Mitchell 3. Graham 4. Wighton 6. Gray 7...

Just because I like having this resource handy, here's a list of all the players on training contracts during the pre-season. Brisbane Broncos Gehamat Shibasaki (Wynnum Manly), Luke Gayle (Wynnum Manly), Latrell Siegwalt (Souths Logan), Callum Eggerling (Souths Logan), Ronald Philitoga (Souths...

Before Sproj kicked my ass into gear, the team I was stewing on was: Parramatta Eels 2025 1. Isaiah Iongi 2. Bailey Simonsson/Sean Russell/Haze Dunster 3. Zac Lomax 4. Will Penisini 5. Josh Addo-Carr 6. Dylan Brown 7. Mitchell Moses 8. Joe Ofahengaue/Wiremu Greig 9. Brendan Hands 10. Junior...

I actually think their depth is one of their strengths since they're not overly reliant on players and their pathways are quite strong. On paper it doesn't read that well, but as we saw last year, there were so many players putting their hands up that when somebody needed a spell the Bulldogs...
