    2026 NRL Draw

    I'm a realist. I was actually quite optimistic last season with the recruitment and preseason camp etc. but it seems very little changed. I am not accepting mediocrity

    Who do you think will get the spoon over us? Is there a worse coach than benji? Our recruitment not good. Lot of overhype

    2026 NRL Draw

    It is a massive rort. Having a bye in round 5 compared to round 1 is big for example. You could have a poor start and then a break after a bit of early hiccups is good. Or a great start and you get to refresh the troops and plan 2 weeks ahead. Looking more and more like we will get the spoon...

    A bye is also a huge disadvantage given that 4 teams can play their round 1 game in las vegas 2 weeks before we get a hit out. Absolutely unfair

    This sounds similar to my conversation with Hugo Savala in Ashfield earlier this year

    Any way to get Twal out of the starting side along with Seyfarth is a win. Neither are first graders and starters at any other team

    The 4peat he won alongside cleary. Taking samoa to the world cup final was without him. The 2024 origin series win was without him. So far it's been 1 year at the tigers where he has had multiple different halves partners, a mid season debacle, extremely different coaching and training staff...

    I think he's stopped being a 'lair' on the field this year. He's got the odd discipline issues with giving away 6 agains and some dumb decisions particularly the middle of the year but he's dropped the grubby acts he used to get away with at penrith. I think he is much better when talking in...

    Losing a narcissist is not a negative, especially when you consider the alternative was keeping him here long term on a million dollars when he hasn't earn it

    Which is why it was confusing to see you bring up his past and diminish that. He has been terrible imo, but it's only one year, under a rookie coach, a 3 peat wooden spoon winning team, with lots of pressure on his shoulders, in a position he hasn't played regularly before, with a big...

    It's actually crazy how his personal dislike is clouding his judgement. Luai has had a terrible year, but his achievements speak for itself. Apparently he's lucky to be in a 4peat winning team, taken samoa to a world cup final which hadn't been done before and won nsw the series in an origin...

    He was good. Not as good as Gallen was saying my top 3 were Paulo, Nanai and RTS. Luai honourable mention, albeit on the front foot most of the game
