    Thank you @tigahhh for earlier translation of Bula's response. Can anyone translate Terrell's response?

    Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

    I'll probably be proven wrong but I don't rate pezet highly. Has a very good kicking game but looks very limited with the ball as not quick or strong and fairly predictable in his pass selection. Wishart was mostly picked in front of him at halfback this season and is much more threatening with...

    Forwards who actually improved coming to us... Luciano, marty tapau, Ryan Matterson, Keith Galloway. Anyone else? Most either go backwards or stay at their level.

    OFFICIAL Kai Pearce-Paul

    I think people expecting huge improvement simply for coming here are falling into a trap in the way we tend to overhype new signings. KPP is a solid player and is an upgrade based on his play last year. He's probably in that Shawn blore type player at the moment in being solid but not really...

    I think that's a reasonable comparison but I see both king and Jensen with big effort tackles and strong runs. While a lot of what they do is similarly consistent and workmanlike, they both have a level of intensity and impact that's higher than twal. And I think that's quite an edge they have...

    OFFICIAL 2025 Grand Final Discussion Thread

    Madge won everywhere except with us. I always felt he needed that next year after finally getting cap space to sign API and papalii but we sack him before he gets the chance and go backwards. It may not have worked out, but he deserved the opportunity. Our club management was terrible. Classic...

    Madge has done a great job. He's had success everywhere except with us. It's obvious it was Pascoefiasco not him. Hope this is a clear message to Benji and the few remaining players from that time that his methods work and it was us and our lack of effort that was to blame.

    That was a great game. Best I've seen for a long time. The standard was so high. I think only talagi was making errors out there. Broncos coming back against that Penrith juggernaut is the best efforts in rugby league since Penrith started their run of premierships. To beat the best when...

    Hynes didn't have a good game but I still think he's very good. I really like the way he moves the ball around and he has a crafty kicking game and good acceleration. He just seems one of those players that doesn't quite lift physically in the big games. But I think so much of what the Sharks do...

    I follow the A-league and Mielekamp did a really incredible job with the club. They were barely able to survive financially and he took them to the top of the table. He's highly respected for what he did at the club by the fans and I'm really glad he's been given this role. He was known for...

    Hopefully this is the end of Richo talking about how much of a mess our club was and how far we've come. How long can he continue with it? It sounds almost exactly the same as Pascoe...administration is now in good shape, profitable club, improving membership...and it turns out all of what...

    OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

    Yes, that's a massive problem for them. Definitely not Galvin he was awful as a halfback.

    OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

    Galvin was back to his tigers form today. He looked threatening at times, made some errors at others and kicked poorly throughout. I was at the game so not sure how it looked on the telly, but it's interesting how all of the attack and movement went through him with Burton and sexton virtually...

    I thought Hynes was excellent tonight. He plays fast and gets players into good spots around him. He's not an especially threatening runner but his creativity and kicking game are really good and means he's a tricky player to oppose. He's not amongst the very best halves but not having paid much...

    Wow, Penrith actually being called regularly for offside!! When did the refs decide to enforce that against them? Bulldogs, Penrith, Melbourne all are excellent at pushing the boundaries (and going beyond) of that offside line.
