AD trained the whole preseason as the no7. So I can’t see Benji changing things unless it is to accommodate an injury. Personally I like seeing a conventional no7 and that what Maden is. Kicking game is so important these days and Jock has a very good all round kicking game. I guess I a fully...

No chance, AD is second picked after Api. Not saying I agree, but Benji will find him a spot and most likely at 7 and Jock will be on the bench. Although I think they will give Luai another week

It’s a funny game, if we had lost today, people would be blowing up how poor we were and we could not even beat an under strength Eels outfit. Now after a win most people are very positive about the effort. The way I see it, the NRL is such a hard long season you are going to get a couple of...

I thought Cook just extended ??Su’a will get plenty of offers and if Cook is flicked ESL would probably be his only offer. Although Perth might be interested for a season or two

The Dogs signed a lot of experienced journeyman coupled with a couple of class footballers in their re build, along the Storms model. Their mistake was their class players did not play in the spine. Now their journeyman are starting to plod and are not athletic enough to keep up with the speed...

At least Lick Bricks had plenty of pace

Like most I enjoy seeing The Dogs and Galvin struggle, but I think Galvins is going a bit better than most of his team mates and the forward pack is a rabble.

Star at his best can make good footballers look average, my mind goes back to Val Homes getting a pasting. He is a quality centre, but have injuries taken there toll. At somewhere near his best he walks back into the side. Outside backs with Star,May, Big Mac,Turava and Bulla can match it with...

HBG owe Benji and the boys heaps, if they had started the season poorly HBG would be under the pump from everywhere, now they can slide back and be invisible and do nothing like in years gone by. Make no mistake they have been the hand brake on the club

Gould reminds me of an orange guy who runs the USA. He not afraid to tell porkies, he has most of the media in his back pocket and is lower than a snake

We are in a strange position at present, for years we did not have anything that resembled a half, now we have five. Anyway another good pod and loved all the forward stats. Parra always scare me as it’s always there big effort game against us

The more eyes that are focusing on The HBG and their shonky debenture system the better. I hope the investigation forces massive change to how the board are elected and how they operate. At present they can hide behind Benji and the teams efforts and escape the attention they should be getting

Always thought Brooks could have been a handy no9. He was a good head on defender,could throw a decent pass and had a kicking game. Sadly as a no7 he was a terrible organiser . Anyway all he did was sign the contracts that were put in front of him, you can’t fault him for that

He is getting paid ten times more than his output. Not saying he is not trying, but when you’re being paid more than 75% of your team mates there is an expectation you can deliver and make a major contribution to your team. At present there is effort but it’s not producing anything for his team...

Our biggest problem in the last decade has been our lack of damaging edge running backrower. Simon Dwyer and the big Pom were our last real ones. Now we have one on the left and one on the right.
