Can you tell me what you mean by "grass roots push"?

Its not a cop out at all, infact, it requires more attention. They sacked the board and pushed out the best ceo we have had in over a decade. This was the trigger to everythjng that followed, including Luai not removing his clauses and having the ability to sign with PNG. Richo had given...

We had similar "positives" after the 2025 season. We have been trying to convince ourselves this narrative for years. We beat Penrith in Bathurst the year they won the comp... so what? It ends up being much of the same shit, just a different year. Who would have thought after 2025 we have a...

Knights have my 2nd favourite backrow pairing in the comp... Behind Samuela and KPP :)

Interesting. His best game was the last when he played #6. Interesting. Benji has always said that Latu will end up in the halves though.

If the entire galvin/tds squad has left.. you dont think it could relate to an issue there, as opposed to hope and mason being picked on form?

Can you provide me with the details on which rounds he played these positions and how long he was on the field? Because the way you are presenting this information makes it sound like he was grinding in those positions week in and week out. But to address your question, playing hooker and...

There is more to the TDS situation than just minutes in the NRL. The whole crew he was apart of, are no longer here. None of us (that post) truly know what happened, but obviously something did. I mean, even letting Luke Laualili go mid year was just strange... he was the last of that group...

Yep. Less responsibility. Less pressure. His confidence was shot. I stress, it was absolutely shot. So I stand by the decisions they made with him this year. He will be better for it in 27.

Yeah, ppl seem to be overlooking this. He had surgery last off-season and wasnt fit to play until a few rounds into the season. Definitely wasnt ready to lead the team around the park... plus... he had plenty of injuries before that the previous 2 seasons prior.. For a bloke whos confidence...

Latu was ready to give the game away... if it wasnt for Benji managing him the way he has (building up his confidence again)... he might not be playing at all. Everyone seems to forget how little game time he has had in the past 4 years. The way Benji chose to use him in 2026 was strategic and...

They played with 12 men for half the game against a basically full strength panthers team (less cleary). They also have a tonne of injuries of their own.

I think you are barking up the wrong tree here. People have been upset that Latu has been on the NRL bench with limited minutes, when he could have been getting reps up in cup. Its no different with TDS. I dont think what you guys are debating was the actual issue here.

I am sure if ponga signed with png after 8 rounds the knights dont make the 8

Wonder if he goes to november 1 or just takes the offer from the panthers
