Keppie is purely speculation based on a report about Souths potentially moving him on. He's not a great player. But he is a massive unit. With over 100 games at NRL level. Who averages 85m a game. Taller than all but Sam Fainu, bigger than all but Royce Hunt. In a team that gets bullied far...

Not sure how you measure it, but the club has massive issues counteracting momentum. I realise ALL teams have that issue, but for the Tigers, it feels like once the momentum is against us, our defence is shredded. Finding a way (slowing the play of the ball/leadership/winning the ruck) to stop...

Adding oversized humans to the roster is not always a bad strategy. There is a role a player like Keppie could play at the club, for sure.

Ethan Roberts?

Herbert = Whakatane origin of birth. Benji doing local lad from back home a favour & giving him a shot?

Seems an oversight....Vegas is played 23 days after Round 1 starts? AI, right?

Ok, so I'll start this by stating I'm certainly not very good with investment. Don't own a house or investment property. Just hitting 52 in April. Super is in pretty good nick since I've had it set up since 18. I earn well enough but child support saps nearly $15k a year. I'm thinking of...

I think both sides of the Richo argument have good points. Don't forget to factor in value when talking about keeping or losing players though. There was a point where Stefano & Galvin stopped being good value. They were not resigned. Previously, I don't think that would have been the case- we...

Given what is left available, Tigers should look at Mason Teague & Joey Lussick for depth. Teague could play #13 & #9 & Lussick could be a KOE deal #9 for added depth. Teague was linked to return to the Panthers, but signing the Warriors KOE #13 Goings probably puts a pin in that.

I think Twal 'stinking it up' is unfair. Twal played a very good Alex Twal type season. He's just not a passing option. He's more your Lindsay Smith type of player. I think the only real options are May playing as that first receiver, and in effect, pushing Luai, Doueihi or Latu wider &...

Trying to replicate a ball playing lock that is essentially a 3rd Half when you don't have a genuine player to do so could be worse than not having one at all. A little innovation could work. The Warriors KOE side ended up playing Freddie Lussick, normally a 9/13 as a front rower. Now, anyone...

Middle Earth, River of Stars & at long odds Land Legend..

I've got Half Yours & River of Stars at the top, with Middle Earth & Buckaroo just behind them. Valiant King, Land Legend, Royal Supremacy & Pressage Nocturne are all in my equations. Obviously I'm not going to pick them all (outside of maybe picking First 5..) so looking at value, River of...

All my horses dropping out....Deakin & Zardozi both out. Middle Earth is still on my list. Post Impressionist, River of Stars & Half Yours are in my mix.

Nice run in the JRA from Middle Earth...
