Fucking monster run by sims! Also Moga looked powerful and fast off that scrum, but should've passed to Roberts who could've likely scooted away

Not to jynx him, but kahu has improved his kicking tenfold. Sims also looked so dangerous on that hit up, poking his head through and getting the ball away

Sorry I see another keen eye already pointed this out

Yeah but also from fox sports, $9 for mead as first try scorer. So with a grain of salt perhaps

**** these commentators are biased as anything. Cooper throws a full blooded punch, they go on about some innocuous Roberts 'flailing arm'? Then bag him for a punch following meads scuffle, realise it's not, and accuse him of 'missing'

So what was the rest of our teams excuse then?

For anyone who watched the game in its entirety : * did either Scarlett or Murphy display a strong kicking game / general game management? * did either love-henry or lavea do anything special in the forwards? I know nines isn't very indicative but I thought love-henry looked a smart hole...

Kahu and mead really did have some sensational highlights together. I know Roberts probably didn't net the individual accolades I and most may have expected last year, but his presence really creates opportunities for his outside men if nothing else. It seems inevitable kahu will start at...

I'm quietly confident we'll be ok in life post-Hunt, and that we'll be better for it long term, but barring form or injury I believe he should get first dibs on half-back. As has been mentioned, he's not the kind to not put in the effort. I think he'll have more fire in the belly to go out...

Sorry mate, no malice intended. I'm more of a quiet lurker on here, far from the best talent judge. I just recalled the infamous Daniel O'dowd preached his cousin Kotoni Staggs as the next coming.

Fairly sure from memory Hughes was named in the halves quite a bit for the blackhawks within the latter part of the season wasn't he? Or so my big league issues said

You spelt your cousins first name wrong Daniel. Or is kostoni another talented relation of kotoni staggs-O'dowd

Darren Nicholls left to for panthers after leaving us for souths and returning last season to no avail. I've seen pics of Todd Murphy in pre season training and Sam Scarlett in last year's pre season, but can't say for certain about this year. Never seen either play but heard good things...

I absolutely love Ben Hunt, and this news upsets me emotionally and sentimentally. But I think it's the most logical, team-first move. He is a fantastic player in his own right, but I've never been fully at ease with he and Milford as a halves pairing. They're both too off the cuff. When...

Gideon Gela-mosby, I'd say that's all.

Side note, which I've harped about a few times before. Gideon mosby gela? Doesn't look to be in North Queensland's plans and is blindingly fast with an eye for the try line. 37 tries in Holden Cup in '15 off memory

If Roberts gets punted, we have ample backing cover. I wouldn't reinvest it in backine stocks if he's punted. I was Roberts biggest fan and couldn't contain my excitement when we signed him. Speed excites me, and he's the fastest player in the nrl. But it was rarely utilised by us, and it...

I can appreciate peoples scepticism over Joe O's input within our pack for this season, but I personally think he'll prove a vital cog. He already showed his first grade credentials in 2015 in a team 15 seconds off being premiers. It's a shame he didn't kick on this year as many of us expected...

I do rate him. Bollocking ball runner that can snatch a try. Could be mistaken but wasn't he used effectively at prop off the bench? Can't see us snaring him. An optimistic me would wonder if he could be that front rower we're counting on roosters to acquire in order to release Napa as Joe...

I think Tyrone would've been a fantastic signing if we lost kodi and hadn't signed benji. He'd be invaluable as a bench utility, fairly sure he's accustomed to a bit of hooker. He's also a top tier goal kicker . But given the stocks we now have, I'd invest elsewhere with the cap space we have...
