Averillo is one of my favourite players in the NRL and extremely underrated

If we look at luai at this club so far in the halves. He had a preseason with Galvin 24/25 and it was clear the plan from Benji was to have galvin remain the dominant half for the combination to work and luai to play a style he isn't used to. To be fair to galvin he didn't win us many games...

honestly think it's the best option. It will force him to not sit back like he did on the weekend. He also seems like he can't do much running because he's injured. I think because of style Benji always opts for Latu 7 Luai 6 but why hasn't he tried luai 7 and latu 6 in a running role? Latu 7...

He's the Tigers saviour though. Just shows how important AD is to the team

Starford To'a to Jersey Flegg. What a loser

Our fans will ignore this but Jock Madden has been horrific in defence today. Starford To'a certainly doesn't help him though

This is a bad take

Moses and Cleary won game 1 last year. It could definitely work. Players like Talagi may play Origin but very unlikely. His style is not suited to origin and his defence is a massive weakness (No recency bias). There are great players like Luke Metcalf, Nicho Hynes and Scott Drinkwater who while...

Luai was objectively better than Moses in the 2024 Origin decider. Even Madge and Moses admitted it on The Fan show from last yera

Not just that. His defence and kicking game was sublime in that decider. Could and should have been MOTM. It's a shame he has never replicated any form since that game. His last 2 years have been quite poor

One thing I'm worried about with luai isn't the jumping around or the last tackle options. It's more his discipline in giving away penalties. He gives away 6 agains and high tackles a lot. We've been good in this area and I think that is an area he is weak in

Jarome will be in the headlines always regardless. After every NSW origin loss he is always the scapegoat. After the 2023 GF the negativity around him was insane. It's just continuing again with the same detractors who have been doing it for years

I think Brisbane will know how Jock plays. If there's any team he may not play as good against, it may be his old club, and Madge no less

I feel the moment we lose a game the entire fanbase will blame Luai. It is bound to happen. We are 100% without him and anything less and it'll be a hit to his confidence. It is best we rest him until he himself is 100% and the team is going incredibly well without him. AD/Maddo may get...

Took the train home tonight... thought I saw the Tigers boys training at Lidcombe Oval. Or maybe I'm dreaming. Anyone else see?
