    Before we start slashing our wrists...

    Exactly. Their team is stacked. Arthars and Shibasaki are also excellent Even without Walsh and Carrigan they are arguably better on paper. Plus, they have experience and premiership pedigree. @Tiger_heart it wasn’t a bad performance. It was a few little things that swung the game IMO. That’s...

    Coach Benji 👑

    While I don’t think it clicked, I also don’t think the loss is on the coach. Simply put, we could have won and then the narrative would be different. Seriously. people going off half-cocked here. It was a 1 pt loss to the premiers. The Makasini drop balls literally handed them the game. Benji...

    LIVE GAME Round 7 versus Brisbane

    Agree with all your comments. Disagree with this line only. Because Luai had a terrific record when Cleary was out. And he was a match-winner in origin. Anyway, I think people here are just being reactionary in calling for Luai to be shuffled around for Douehi/Madden. We lost by one point to...

    LIVE GAME Round 7 versus Brisbane

    Re the halves problem. We saw tonight the difference a proper halfback makes. And I don’t think it’s controversial to suggest that as good as Douehi has been this year, it has never been as your classic, controlling halfback. He runs first. He doesn’t look to pass first or set-up first, as a...

    LIVE GAME Round 7 versus Brisbane

    I’m not too deflated after that loss. The team played brilliant. Our line speed in defence was huge. Broncos are simply a class act, even without some stars. Their backs were formidable and together with Reynolds they taught us a lesson tonight in how to contain and convert. Not too dissimilar...

    Jahream Bula #269

    Bula is not close to the value bracket of the top players in that 900k range. For context, Harry Grant and Crichton are reportedly on about $850k through to the end of 2027. Burton, Carrigan and Liam Martin are around $750k through to the end of 2027. It is also getting harder to sell the...

    LIVE GAME Round 6 v Knights

    Totally. All that hot air we had to listen to, when we weren’t even winning!

    And by the way, when Benji was asked in the press conference if he can believe it, he totally echoed Mark O’Neill‘s response of Yes I can, when Mark was interviewed on the field after our ‘05 grand final win. Love that!!

    LIVE GAME Round 6 v Knights

    Benji is just so impressive. On one hand I love how unrelenting he is. On the other, celebrate the wins! Show some emotion and crack a smile Benj! Sure, the job isn’t done, but look at what you have achieved already: -We are equal top. -You have already taken this team to equal wins from ‘22...

    Origin Selection, who has potential so far?

    Agree. Wouldn’t it be the best story though. Honestly, which NSW props have been better thus far?

    The Cambo Curse

    I looked to get tickets for the upcoming games, so went on Ticketek site. Left to right (or top to bottom) images show blue available sections/seats at (1) vs Knights at Campbelltown, (2) vs Broncos at Campbelltown, (3) vs Raiders at Leichhardt. It is pretty interesting and disappointing at...

    Im not convinced

    I’m not confident. But Knights at Campbelltown always takes me back to that great day in 2009 when Marshall skipped across the field and through a gap to set up Ryan for the winning try. I was sitting right near that sideline. Was prime Benji and it was breathtaking.

    LIVE GAME Round 5 versus Eels

    They are obviously going to go right to Luke’s absent wing. Let’s see if Tigers and Bula wise up.
