Ugh tough one between Knights and Wahs for me, either of them beating Penrith would be nice
Fins v Knights/Wahs grand final would be so different and would be awesome no matter who won
Ponga played like an absolute weapon
If Knights make an impact, or unlikely but win it, it would be massive for his legacy and he is playing like he knows that
285 ARM, 56PCM, 12 TB, 2 LB
That is your million dollar player
People are throwing Volkmans name around like he is going to be our saving grace and/or marquee halfback.
He is the 5/8 for the team coming 13th with 6 wins out of 20 games he played in.
He might be a decent 5/8, but he is not adding any value to a team running 14th.
Not every player that...
Volk is playing alright but I don't think he is what we need. We need a halfback with some experience to help develop Latu/Javon
I would be looking into whether Manly would be interested in letting Fogarty go early. They have an abundance of halves; Fogarty, Brooks, Large, Faulalo, Walsh
I...
Not sure I have an opinion on this, but do many people see Burton as a halfback?
If there is any potential for a swap with AD, and a longer term deal for Burton.
I would be guaranteeing Burton the 7 jersey for 12 months. Over that 12-months, give Latu the 6 jersey.
Allow Javon a full...
The idea isn’t that Averillo is a better FB than Bula, reality is they are probably on par on current form.
It’s more to save the 1m and re-invest it elsewhere until someone of better quality becomes available, i.e Brimson now
Yep, I agree. Although, I think we need to fall on our sword now and offload some of these big money contracts we hastily committed to whilst grieving the Luai loss.
Come on bro
We came 13th in 2025 with basically the same roster. We are coming 14th now with two less wins.
We also barely had any injuries in 2025.
We have had the majority of our team back for a while and we are not even competing. We're getting smashed week in week out. We have lost twice...
I wonder if there is any internal optimism about 2027, and where that comes from?
I shudder at the thought of us going into next season with the same squad as this year.
I cannot believe our recruitment/retention decisions.
Reports were Dogs were after Bula before he re-signed. Wonder if they take him now and let go of Preston early. Duno if they would be willing to pay what we paid though.
Preston & KPP backrow
May & Samuela starting props
Give Averillo the FB jersey
1. Jake Averillo
2. Sunia Turuva
3. Taylan...
Maybe he has a deal elsewhere already done, and the club have asked to keep it on the DL until season ends?
Surgery now would likely be part of the deal
Mere speculation on my end
The club screwed itself, who ever was involved, in allowing Moses, Tedesco and Woods to go.
Instead of paying a little extra to keep them happy, we let them go and used their money towards players who inevitably failed.
Keeping the big 4 together at the time could have been a major turning...
It's so hard to cop isn't it. I remember the days I would refresh the WT website an infinite amount of times to see whether Koro/Nofa were named for their debut haha
