Barring injuries, Skelton has shown he is in our top three wingers (with Turuva and Makasini). If Makasini is playing centre then I'd have Skelton alongside him over Luke. Almost a no-brainer.

Or Manu...? Although I think the Bula deal will get done.

I reckon Madden will give Api a spell (but has Hope as back-up depending how things shape up). Jack's got a strong passing game, can lead from the front. Will be interested to see how he's used (if at all). As for forwards, it's a classic 2 props, 1 backrower bench. Sione in for Pole. Seyfarth...

I believe it's gone back to round 12 for development players. The round one thing was only a remnant from COVID. But we may be upgrading Bunty to top 30 depending on how our forwards shape up in the first 6 weeks.

Haywood looks like he could be a future leader. The heir apparent to Api.

Agreed. Andrews was the one who most impressed me of the yet-to-play-NRL juniors. Just seemed in control of his abilities with some really nice touches.

If Todd Payton is axed by the cowboys, he could come in as forwards coach for us. Has shown he has coaching ability and could be a good foil to Benji.

Parramatta, storm, titans and dolphins. And as of next year, bears.

Classic draw result as it is now. Both teams go home with 1 point.

In my proposal, the maximum points a team can get in any game is 2 for the win. No one gets three points. In this example, both teams get 1 point if scores are level at the end of 80 mins just like they would for a draw. THEN they play Golden Point to see who gets the extra 1 competition point...

I still reckon that a draw at full-time should mean both teams get one competition point, THEN they play golden point overtime (5 each way) for the other competition point. It makes the 'Golden Point' name have a double meaning and would make the ladder a truer representation as currently a team...

Realistically, teams all use 6 interchanges relatively the same: on fresh middle forwards. ie. 2 props and a lock get replaced each half. Some teams have 80-minute locks which allow them to swap out a 2nd row instead. But we seem to have two 80 min 2nd rowers, so it's likely we would use 3...

Got some 2nd hand signing info from reliable source that may have been posted here already. Bula was offered a 4 year deal (new deal starting 2027 not extension) worth $3.5M late last year. Apparently his manager said they only want 2 years. Tigers then presented a 2 year offer but it turns out...

Those texts from the Storm to the NRL CEO may be bigger than we think. It points to corruption. Corruption from a corrupt club that shows off their corruption when they claim premierships they were stripped of -- but moreso that the NRL allows it and seems to bend over for them. This may be...
