100% agree. Said it the other day, he came up as captain of the Kiwi under 19s playing Lock. I think his ideal position is being a mobile bench middle who can cover 2nd row. I think Gos and Piakura (on the right), with Riki off the bench is our best balance. If Piakura is getting gassed a...

For those talking about Staggs moving to the forwards to accommodate Cobbo and Mariner, I’m not so sure. I don’t have anything to base this on really but I think Staggs is going to be one of the players we see benefit most from a new coach. Walters seemed to be happy for Katoni to have a low...

Do my eyes deceive me or us Madge finally putting the mixed up centre numbers to rest? thank god This must be a good day for @Sproj

If I were the broncos, my opinion on wether or not he needed surgery would be heavily influenced by if he is going to still be at the club the following year. Cover the costs or the surgery, the rehab, he’s out the whole year, then goes to a rival when he’s finally fit again - yeah I’m pretty...

Mariner will no doubt be a better player if he gets another 15 + Q cup games under his belt before before being a full time first grader. Both from the experience but also from the standards it sets.. It’s a no brainer in my mind, again though, the risk is that Shiba is under a lot of pressure...

Mariner, like Piakura never really earned their spots. They were handed it way too early. If Gos and Shiba have out trained, shown more dedication, bought in more, than in good with sending the message regarding what will be rewarded. Though at some point, talent does overwrite that and it...

We know, Kev we know

Walsh tiptoeing dangerously close to violating the no 6 pack mandate

All good points. I share your concerns. I keep reminding myself that he won a prem in the ESL, NRL, won an origin, and a World Cup. And that even Wayne Bennett had a lower win rate than Kev when at the Knights. The team is so stacked with talent that you would really think that any coach who...

Jesus, I didn’t realise how big of a game Marty had

Riki actually played middle as well coming up. He captained NZ under 19s from lock. I’ve been suggesting for a while that he’d make a good bench rotation where he spent time in the middle.

I saw that coming from Paix. I’ve been saying it for years but much like Galileo or UFO disclosure, sometimes people just aren’t ready to hear my correct opinions well before the masses are ready to accept them as true.

I thought Billy looked like a solid back up on the halves. Done himself proud there but today really highlighted again to me that he’s not my kind of hooker. He tries his guts out. He just becomes such a focal part of the attack when he’s at hooker, when he doesn’t need to be, nor does he...

The best take away was that they all seemed to be singing from the same hymn book. Both in attack and defence. Everyone seemed to know their role, no matter their skill or experience - both in attack and defence. They were all talking, and looked like they knew where to be each ptb despite the...

A lot to like about that half

Wow, glad we finally have a tactical genius as a coach - who else could’ve unearthed the *checks notes* best hooker in q cup

Trademark Paix! No hooker steals a try close to the line as good as him

Can’t I imagine many points from our end with the spine we have
