Wonder if Bula or the club instigated it.
Either way very smart move by Bula.
Coming into a contract term, improve his acceleration on top of his skill set already and his price sky rockets.
Boot camp he was probably the most ripped out of all the boys out of the blocks.
The fact he is focusing on his acceleration is awesome.
Bula is taking it seriously and is really leading his improvements.
We will be nuts if we don’t keep him.
They have set expectations and have improved year on year thats why.
It will depend on the draw.
The 4 spine positions will be key - if they go on youth which they have been moving towards with a new fullback, Woods/Galvin/Haywood I don’t see them being as consistent to start the year as...
They have Dykes joining, he has had a bad run with injuries but when fit can play.
If Woods and Galvin are in the halves Burton moves to center and maybe Crichton is at fullback could also be an option
Agree. They looked totally disjointed.
Lacked intensity in a heap of areas before the Panthers switched off.
The forward pack and backs struggled most the game to get meters.
Ciraldo showed his inexperience the last few weeks. Team selection and stability is vital for finals which granted...
Maya is believing more and more.
Have been mentioning her a few times over last few years. Last 18mths she has moved from being ranked outside the top 1000 and just continues to sky rocket to potentially finish the season in the top 30. Already had a few top 20 and 10 ranking wins.
Plays the...
Zero chance the NRL wouldn’t support a medical retirement for concussion regardless of his history. Imagine the headlines that would get and uproar from the RLPA + everyone.
The line they took was Walsh wouldn’t have done what he did if Hudson didn’t do what he did before hand. It’s a cop out. Walsh didn’t just motion once he did it twice with clear intent and connected both times. Walsh should be getting a few weeks for it.
Finals watch
18yr Alana Subasic is into her 2nd Turkey final in a row and will continue to move up the rankings.
19yr Taylah Preston has made the final in Wagga Wagga as she works hard to get automatic qualification for the Aussie Open.

The club made what 10 changes to the roster in last 12months with another 5 at least coming into next year. Thats half the squad. In 12-18mths.
You’re all over the place today. It started by an actual good topic of Pezet complimenting Luai or Faniu then quickly pivoted to something in 2yrs re...
He is also 23 and a consistent first grader already.
For his price he is more than fine.
We probably have at least 20 other players in our squad who offer less and probably 10 others that earn more.
Why his name came up in a salary cap convo beats me.
My understanding is Luai cap hold isn’t close to that for the last 3 yrs.
Don’t even know why Turuva was in the convo when it started about Pezet his salary is more than fine for his output.
Bula each to their own, you have a consistent view on him which respect.
I agree with the concept, Pezet is more a traditional halfback not a run / dynamic style but also think we need more time to assess Luai and Latu combination.
We also need to be very careful about the culture impact that is clearly being formed. Luai has brought Latu very close this season...
