Yeah I've been thinking for awhile now that he could be the 17 jersey for us moving forward... back when we were trying to find someone to fill that void. I think he's athletic enough to be the fill in centre for injuries as well... as long as he can make the reads in defence. Piakura would be...

This is the Riki that we want to see come back... for whatever reason he no longer seems able to make these kinds of runs. It's like he runs the line as if he's going through the motions nowadays and just isn't ever expecting to get the ball. He was clearly expecting to get it on that play or...

Ahh yes but he is going to social media jail. Ezra about to get all elec bikes made illegal because of this photo... either that or whichever company gave him the bike about to be shutdown for making and distributing these illegal bikes

The ball playing from Staggs is a long shot I'll be honest.. and is mostly under the assumption that he must have something going on to have played games at 5/8... he was also our best player in 2020/21 whenever it was just before he did his ACL, and he was doing a little bit in the halves...

Interesting that Jett Bryce has made the squad over other guys like Powell (who I thought looked really promising and able to mix it with the big boys). I'm thinking this is because Jett likely has a development deal, so he can actually play first grade if needed, compared to Powell who was...

One of the things that will need to be sorted out with Mariner is what position do they actually want him to play. Coming through all the grades he was a right centre... but that spot is covered by Staggs for the next however many years. Left centre is completely different ball game for...

Great work davidp!!

Not sure... I think Goates was always #2 but played on the left even though Staggs was #3 I'm hoping Cobbo lines up on the left... it's his natural side

Re Mozer, potentially Madge wants to see what he's getting with Mozer before committing to a contract extension... probably not because he doesn't want him, but maybe more around what value he should be commanding. If his manager is in there looking for like $600k on a promising but unproven...

Either way he missed the entire preseason, so he needs to be off doing his own mini preseason whilst he's on suspension... he's got nothing else to do during that time anyway. The rest of the team have been flogged into shape and are primed and ready to go... if he's underdone by the time his...

That's probably a reasonable way to look at it, but I think what is noticeable is the amount of starters or guys earmarked as starters that are in the need a kick at times group. All the starters should be leaders and be too good every week to be kicked out of the jersey. They should be...

Yeah the big ones are which guys have the respect in the team... presumably Reyno, Bhunt, Patty and Haas at minimum. I'm unsure on Staggs despite him being in the leadership group. I feel he has gaps in his game he needs to sort out before he can bark orders at others. You can't be a guy with 9...

I feel like it's regurgitating the titans link from back when Palasia was there and they were talking about him trying to convince his GC mates to join him

It would be interesting to know what happened at souths, but I think what is different nowadays, or at least should be different, is that players know what it takes to be successful and one of the main things is being fit as fuuuuuck. Melbourne and Penrith are the benchmarks of the comp and if...

I was looking into his coaching awhile back and the thing that gets forgotten about with his time at the tigers is Covid. His first year there he got them to 9th... previously their meme position, but good lord would they love to be back there again. Beyond covid they were horrendous, but the...

I was just happy to see some work being done around the ruck close to the goal line... usually it's just weak decoy runs that are going through the motions with no intent to catch it. Give me a bit of Haas running a crash line and being an actual threat Was a fantastic offload from Jensen...

Just heard on the news that Hayze Perham picked up an ACL injury in the trial... that's a potentially big blow for us given our lack of depth at fullback... but also Hayze being an option in the outside backs as well. Gotta feel for him... that spot backing up Walsh has been a great position in...

It sounds like there could be more that are still a bit up in the air. 4. Mariner vs Shiba 11/12. Riki vs Gos vs Piakura Jensen vs Kobe for spots in the starting middle I think Taupau is a bit further down the list, but Madge may go with him early in the season for experience and BTK later in...

I noticed BTK finding his front in both games so far and Willison during the All Stars game as well. They may have been doing it last year, but it could also be a sign of things to come. I think the biggest tell for it might be Haas... if he's actively trying to get down and find his front...

I liked that we scored in a number of different ways. We just took whatever the opposition was giving us, and it just so happened that the opposition was defending like U12's... but we put them to the sword because of it. It's what storm and penrith do... they don't care how they get them and...
