Honestly I'm so confident with the depth we have this year that I'm not overly worried if somebody gets injured. The only players I'd get worried about are our halves.

At one stage in previous seasons he and Brooks also had a nice little combo going. Would love to this happening again if can play more minutes. He can be damaging.

Ponga, Pearce & Fitzgibbon. The three to watch. Limit their opportunities and it will make our job a lot easier.

If we signed him for the rest of the year + next year - YES. Why? We have money to spend. He's an incredibly gifted player and he isn't slowing down just yet. We need somebody to provide a spark or x-factor in our backline. I would have him playing in the centres to replace Kevin. Finally...

There aren't many options for fullback for 2018 and beyond. In my opinion there are only three realistic options. 1\. Persist with Lolohea and continue to have Thompson as a backup. 2\. Take a punt with Bevan French. If we offer him a decent (not overs) contract he would ask for a release for...

Reynolds needs more match fitness that is for sure. Thankfully we were winning comfortably when he came on because he could have ended up being our weak link. Would prefer him to gain match fitness and more experience in the hooker role in ISP though. We haven't needed him for the first 6...

Will give it to Pascoe, he is a people's person. He understands the importance of letting the fan's voices be heard and take a genuine interest of how they feel. I've seen over the years he often responds to fan's twitter questions and emails which is a nice touch from a CEO. More importantly...

Not a fan of Ross but if we get him cheap then he's a handy backup. Don't get why he would want to come here though, he's playing FG at the Knights, he won't be playing FG here.

Agree with you mate. These are the games which will test how strong our mentality really is. It's easy to get up for games when you're the outsiders but harder when you're the favourites. Like you said, over the years we have notoriously lost the games we were expected to win, so if we beat...

Exactly. He also played on the wing against the Broncos too and even though we lost that game it wasn't because of his defence…

Previous seasons the Club would report each week on our casualty ward but this year it seems to be whenever they feel like it. Kinda frustrating! Found this from the NRL website: https://www.nrl.com/news/2018/04/03/nrl-casualty-ward-round-5/ Josh Reynolds (hamstring, round 6) Elijah Taylor...

Brought up stats because Balmain Boy thought NAS only made 40 metres when in reality it was Packer who did this and NAS was a handful for us. The stats of 43 post-contact metres, 4 tackle breaks and 3 offloads don't lie either… He is a threat to any side. Mind you, Twal and Eisenhuth don't need...

Ok so one question of mine that hasn't been answered was that how did Cleary know under game pressure in the first round of the competition that Thompson was going to defend better than Nofo? Why did he get the opportunity first? Thompson hasn't played at NRL level since 2015\. Was it purely...

Nope… maybe you're mixing him up with Packer. Round 2 stats: NAS - 106 M, 43 post-contact metres, 4 tackle breaks, 3 offloads, 13 tackles, 1 missed tackle, 1 error. Packer - 42 M, 13 post-contact metres, 0 tackle breaks, 25 tackles, 4 missed tackles. Matulino - 51 M, 16 post-contact metres, 1...

Need to try and handle Asofa-Solomona better this time. Last time we played he looked the most threatening.

To be expected. Would prefer McIlwrick over Godinet though.

Thank you Geo! Agreed 100% I think a lot of people forget that what the centre does has an impact on what the winger does in defence too. If the centre makes a bad defensive read and leaves the winger exposed it's not their fault. Can't blame the winger everytime because a try was scored on...

If we win this game it will it honestly shock me due to the following reasons: - We have a 5 day turnaround and need to travel to NZ. - Storm have a 8 day turnaround. - Storm rarely lose two games in a row. - Bellamy's 400th game as coach. - Will be out for revenge for our round 2 win. We need...

1\. Marshall 2\. Twal (will play for NSW one day if his form continues) 3\. Packer

Confused by this statement… please explain?
