Can't agree. He, at least, shows an ability to manage a team and dig into the line, providing space for his outside supports. This is something Luai couldn't do with all his ridiculous skipping about. Neither could Douehi with his constant hogging of the ball. Madden missed some tackles but he...

Agree with you. To me, Andrews should be a five eighth. He and Latu tore it up in KOE Cup for weeks this year when Latu was at 7, Javon 6.

I absolutely agree with your best practice Demps. Keep Andrews developing in Cup and tell Douehi it's 13, or Cup with Javon!

Partner Doueihi? Surely you're joking. AD should never play in the Tigers halves again. Why? Because ball hogs should never be halves.

Makasini? Why do people on this forum insist on putting him in our 2027 list? He was absolutely dreadful this year and needs more time in Cup.

I'd really love to see the Knights get up, mainly because I always support the underdog and it'd be the biggest Cinderella story in recent times. However, my head says Roosters....convincingly. Too much experience and class while the Knights might just run out of gas. The other thing is that I...

With a step and strong leg drive but definitely not great acceleration.

I think we all understand that Doueihi is a tackle buster Vicious - that was never the question. What Doueihi has to understand is that if he wants to play in the NRL it will not be as a half. I'll add that he needs to swallow his considerable ego and do what the coaches tell him if he wants to...

Why do you have Douehi as first grade 7? He is quite simply not a halfback and, after his late season shenanigans, does not deserve to be considered for NRL. Jock should be there, with Latu, as the halves. Also, I know we're talking about squads but, no way, does Makasini make the top 17 either.

I like May and I think he is a very talented and mobile prop but someone must tell him to pass the ball! He jarred our attack several times today by going on his own when the play called for swift ball movement. Between Douehi and Terrell, we have two of the biggest ballhogs in the game.

Which a halfback's main job. If he can add a bit a running game, he'll become a more complete number 7.

Our attack looked so much better with Luai out of the way and Latu taking over. I'll be happy to see the back of that ridiculous skip and hop.

I agree about Jock being a great clubman with a good attitude. I also thought he and Latu looked quite slick in the second half today. I like the way he straightens the attack and his kicking was solid overall. Madden and Fainu should definitely be the starting halves next year with Andrews in...

No way with Makasini. What makes you think he should be in our top 13 when he was a disaster this season and clearly not ready for NRL.

I'm so over the idiotic goose step! Doesn't he realise what a goose he looks like?
