Don't you think part of the reason the eels were horrible was because we tried hard? Alot of their errors were from great defensive pressure and big hits. The boys lifted their defence big time and smothered the eels and it frustrated them. There was some great one on one contact from Glenn...

This shouldn't go unnoticed. I thought he was going to get pancaked like Tedesco did last year. There was a few other occasions where he put his body on the line in defence, I think one was on Paulo's line break maybe. I thought he looked stronger with his kick returns and runs aswell. He...

It was rediculous that he only got 15... Patty was absolutely out on his feet and a few others could have used a spell too. Bull is really suited to the modern game. Lets see how he goes playing 2 20 min stints and go from there.

Hmm possibly... 3 or so years ago I would have said definitely. He would bring a wealth of experience and a great kicking game. But he is getting a bit old and slow and doesn't bring much else in attack. I would sound out his management to see how much he was wanting for 2 years. He wouldn't be...

At this stage I would be looking into these blokes as a half option - Shaun Johnson (Off contract) Depends on how much $ he wants and how he returns from injury. Sharks have Moylan and Trindall as replacements. - Kodi Nikorima (Has a PO for 2022) Warriors will have the cap space and a need to...

The same could be said for alot of players. Milf is one in particular. Croft may have struggled at times last year but you can't fault his passion and work ethic. Milf on the other hand... I'm confident Croft will play well this year. I have more concerns about Milf. Lets hope Kevvie is the...

Walsh looks way too small for NRL at this stage. Last week he was easily smashed or picked up multiple times. To his credit, mentally he handled it fine and didn't shy away from the tough stuff. But the NRL is a different level and teams like storm and roosters will target him. Let him...

He was a level above Fifita last night though.

Just listened to an interview with Coates on "Drive with Joel and Fletch". A few interesting things to note; Who is the player training the house down? - Tesi Niu is training the house down at centre and is transitioning to right centre well. Who is going to be fullback? - A fair few players...

In my opinion the NRL probably will. Thats pretty much the whole point of my post. I don't think you understand the NRL system that will decide on Payne's punishment and hand it out is completely separate to the court system that charged Payne. The NRL will look at the charges. AND i believe...

How can the NRL punish a player for a situation where the charges have been dropped? They simply can't and that is why the players didn't recieve punishment. I never said Payne was convicted or accused of assault, but he has been charged for using offensive langue and intimidating police...

To my knowledge players like Bird and Walker had their assault charges dropped. Can you provide examples of players who have been charged please.

I agree. I just watched a few snippets on youtube of the media hassling Payne and Kevvie who refuse to comment, the media clearly aren't going to let this one slip. The comments regarding touching the female officer is what makes this such a serious issue. Given the pressure from the media...

I would really like a fullback in the mould of AJ Brimson or Papenhuyzen. I think they would compliment our forward pack well. Dufty is a similar style, is affordable, and has good potential. 2020 he shocked me with his improvement in his passing game. With the lack of quality fullbacks on the...

If Farnsworth and Niu are training at centre, who is training on the wings? Coates would obviously be one. Is anyone standing out on the other? Is Oates training exclusively at 2nd row?

Staggs could be a bit of a Jack Whighton style 5/8. Would love to see more of him there.

Who would you replace Te'o, Fafita and possiy Offa with? You can't have a team full of under 20's... Do you not see our lack of experience as an issue?

I think he has been pretty solid considering he would be on a low wage. He brings alot of experience and a good attitude on and off the field. With this season plus an off season under his belt to get some fitness back I think he will be better next year. The whole point of my post was I think...

It will be really interesting to see who the new coach brings into the squad. With Fifita gone, Offa looking likely to move on and TPJ doesn't fill me with confidence, we definitely need to make some smart signings to bring in some experience. We also need to hang onto Te'o for another year...

The thought of Benji and Hunt possibly being available is arousing. My recruitment targets would be: 1. Benji 1 year deal 2. Hunt (500-600k/yr) 2 year deal @ hooker 3. Sign a few cheap hard forwards - Soliola, Guerra, Hipgrave, Jensen, Nicholls, Taylor, Burr, Gosiewski Blair are a few that...
