I don't think you can underestimate the extent to which injuries have disrupted our combinations on the field. While AD/Luai in the halves are never going to be the perfect prototypical halves pairing, I've seen enough from them at times this year to trust in Benji's faith in them to deliver for...

Mate, you have the hottest takes on this forum by some margin. I genuinely can't fathom how you arrive at some of your opinions. You're entitled to them by all means, but most of them leave me scratching my head. This one is no exception.

I'll be there today, taking my daughter to her first NRL game. Fingers crossed the two-hour trip down is a winner 🤞 Come on Tigers!

I agree. He ain't perfect and there's a lot there to work on, but I also remember a time back in the wretched early rounds of 2024 where he was one of the few bright lights we had during that dark period. One game in particular against Parra stands out in my memory. He was busting tackle after...

Plenty will disagree, but I don't think it's outside the realms of possibility that he comes off the bench for us at some stage this year.

I agree. Way better used on an edge where he can use his frame and silky skills than in the middle where he'd have to tackle himself to a standstill. Could be a real good bench option/first drop backrower for us next year if he brains it in cup over the next few months.

Sad to see the bloke go to be honest, but not disappointed. When he was on, I thought he was devastating and one of my favourite players to watch. Just a shame he didn't seem capable of replicating it week to week for whatever reason. I think it's ultimately the right decision to cut him loose...

This is spot on. I remember the year before they came into the comp the media was absolutely hammering them about what a terrible squad they'd built, and I was thinking really? It looks pretty decent to me. From there, they've just gone from strength to strength, to the point where I look at...

Was thinking the same thing.

There are a whole lot of reasons NSW lost last night, but the most obvious is simply that QLD were too good, so hats off to them. But for Christ's sake, can we ring in the following changes: - Cleary dropped. Moses and Strange as the halves. Cleary is a champion at club level but take him out...

My man!

I didn't say he's been playing poor for Manly, that's putting words in my mouth. I said he was ordinary when he was with us and is still the same player now. Is he playing decent footy in one of the in-form teams in the comp? Yeah, he is. Is he much more suited to playing 6 than he ever was at...

Nah, Brooks shouldn't be on that list. He was ordinary with us and remains just that.

Not making excuses, but we need some equity from the ref at the start of the game as well. That first six again on the fourth last week against Penrith snowballed diabolically and there was just no discernible reason for it. A call like that so early in the game can screw the whole fixture. We...

Billy Walters is a great call.
