...and no speed or strength.

Also Weidler is concerned that Anasta has a duel role as player agent and NRL commentator. Damn imagine using a media role for self promotion and to the interests of your other job! Who would do that??... "Braith Anasta has been accused of being thin-skinned and conflicted by the man who used...

Gould not enjoying social media lately... "Bulldogs general manager Phil Gould says the NRL and clubs need to join forces to ban fans and members from games who are using social media to vilify and defame players. Gould is sick of so-called supporters using platforms such as Instagram to attack...

I think the decision is random. You can see players getting off for this incident or just getting a week or getting what Api got. I find it very unclear what distinguishes many of these incidents and I'm frustrated because I don't see intent in the way a hip drop is meant to work. I know...

Bula is a very good fullback. Not elite, but in that second category and getting better. His initial problem was how weak he was in contact and his passivity in attack. We see him push through tackles a lot more these days and I think he's still going to get quite a bit stronger in the next year...

The evolution of sam fainu has been incredible. Both him and kpp hit with such intent as well. Really dominant defenders. We haven't had this since Gareth. Is turuva the best hit up winger in the comp? He looked electric. I've never felt so comfortable watching a tigers team defend, they...

I think Madden should be starting but having him at 14 is pointless. I don't get the idea of shifting the halves around mid-match. I'd prefer Hope if Latu is being put into KOE for game time. That situation just looks jumbled to me, and it didn't help any of the halves doing it this way last week.

It's interesting to change your halfback after such a period of stability and quality from the team. That's a run of form we've not seen since 2019 and we made quite a few changes to accommodate returning players. I don't know if madden makes the difference but it surely leaves everyone...

Campbelltown probably had the best atmosphere of any ground last year bar our game against the dogs. They were mostly close games that we lost and the crowd were into the matches and loud and supportive. It was really deflating when they lost most if not all of them. Souths and warriors games in...

If Blaize Talangi isn't the worst defensive 5/8 in the game he's close to it. Penrith have been good at hiding him in defense and giving him very simple jobs in attack. In my opinion, he's probably more overrated than even Galvin because he just so often takes poor decisions or executes badly...

Even in games I fluctuate between Sam fainu and kpp as my favourite players. Both very physical, fast, skillful, 80 minutes and full of heart. I wouldn't trade them for anyone. I expected a solid reliable toiler in KPP. To get a strike player at that price is terrific. Credit to Benji for...

He's been so good that he gets a bonus third man of the match!

All this talk about new team and I want to believe. But let's win this weekend or all the same old talk resumes!

With Klein in the box we need to really take our chances when we get them. He LOVES intervening in games and sees the games through the rulebook only and has no capacity to interpret or judge based on the circumstance or conditions of the game. For this reason he is a terrible referee. And just...

Terrible idea. There's nothing wrong with the name and fans of both original clubs would hate it. They need to get their juniors in order, surely the Illawarra has a wealth of talent yet doesn't seem like much is coming through for the club.
