Don’t hate it HJ but I’d have AJ and JC the other way around. JC has the better boot. Very similar spine make-up to Melbourne.

I thought the same thing Cowa. While Verrills running game has never been top class, I was concerned with Des coming in that he was going to get turned into a pass machine. While I’m not sure he...
Liu for me. I’d rather have Tino playing physical and Liu can move the ball around.
My bench would be Mo, Palasia, IF/Pahulu and Randall. Joliffe to start. I’d like us playing more direct and...
Most disappointing thing for me is that it is deja-vu with the team selections. Tino is too one dimensional to be playing lock, Fermor is playing on the left, which means Fafita will be on the right...
NRL.com predicted 2024 lineup:
1. Campbell
2. AKP
3. AJ
4. Kelly
5. Sami
6. Foran
7. Boyd
8. Mo
Don’t know how I feel about this one. On one hand I never really liked the rule as the whole team is penalised (quite heavily as well in respect to a 10 metre drop out or kick off) for a genuine...
Do you think that was because he was stuck behind Politoni HZ? He plays a similar game to Erin Clarke but I thought his passing was a lot better in the limited time I saw him play.
Mate stop being a pig. It’s a footy forum. Nobody wants to read that sort of stuff on here.
Surprised that Kaleb Ngamanu wasn’t offered a development deal. By all accounts he had a good season in Cup. Do we think he’ll make the train n trial list?
Wonder if we would consider loaning Kini to another club in need of a fullback to let him develop while his pathway is blocked here.
Read somewhere that Maumalo has been given permission to leave. Can’t imagine that he will be here come Rnd 1. Wondering if Shoupp is still interested in Parramatta. I know that they just secured...
Interesting. It’s fair enough not wanting Hunt, I guess the reason why I ask though is at some point we’re going to have to make some tough decisions. If JC doesn’t work out in the halves or...
I reckon Mo is the one at risk if the Dragons are pushing for a trade. I don’t think they’ll want a fullback with Sloan and Lomax there. If, worse case scenario, we lost either JC, AJ or Kini, who...
Would you give up Boyd? Who do you expect these young and upcoming playmakers to learn off?
Dogs signed Averillo, not Xerri. Aitken’s is Copley 2.0. He plays well against us, but would play awfully for us.
His defensive deficiencies are worse that Shoupps by a long way. I wouldn’t even...
Nice write up Birdman. Hard to disagree with most ratings.
I was very hard on Sami coming into this season but he deserves an A based on his wing performances. Be interesting to see if he can back...
I’d love to see this happen but unfortunately he fills the same roster spot as Randall. If we traded him for Clarke I’d be all for it, but we just don’t need another backup utility on the books next...
MT, neither of Munster or Hughes have the best long kicking game but look where they are. We just need a different game plan. Boyd’s long kicking is great but look at where that got us.
JC has a...
Yeah I heard it that way too. I don’t understand it from Brimson. His words were that he likes be able to play down short sides, use his left foot grubber and be part of the decision making....
Agree. Hope it was a mutual option though. If he plays well to justify an upgrade - great. If he flops we let him go without paying some of his salary.
My personal take on Shoupp is he was a little overhyped coming here but is a player for the future. Probably doesn’t deserve a starting spot at any club just yet but is a good back up centre. He...
I think one thing this squad lacks is a variation in body shape. We don’t have any tall wingers or centres and that leaves the wings exposed to high balls.
I was a huge fan of Marzhew and at the...
I’d like to hear it. He’s certainly got some growing up to do but there’s no denying his raw talent. Kick returns this year have certainly suffered without Marzhew starting our sets.
I feel ya man. I felt the exact same way about Sexton, but at the end of the day it’s such a important position on the field we can’t wait forever for these guys to develop in grade. In hindsight, I...
Some of those calls were a bit off but my bigger concern is how badly we got rolled through the middle again. I can’t put my finger on it but for some reason we just give away so many metres through...
