I reckon we'll get a members email tomorrow that Klemmer has been released then another one on Monday that Olam is being medically retired and then one more (let's say Thursday) that Taylan May has signed on. As for the backrow, I personally don't hate Twal and Bird sharing the lock role with...

He'd be so good for us, but he has been out for a year. Even if he signs today I expect it will be a few weeks until he is ready for matches. Hopefully not but just trying to be realistic. But Friday showed us we still need a top-class 2nd-rower and Lock. I'd move Twal into prop rotation and...

Haha. Nice. And you nailed it re. the match-up and luck on the day. But the elephant in the room we're not talking about is if we will draw the ire of the refs again this year. I personally believe a team makes its own luck with discipline, etc. but there were times last year that baffled me...

I'm nervous about this one. We are literally missing 3 of our starting back 5, and 2 of our starting spine players. Like others have said, only our halves Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon theirs. Will be interesting how much that determines on the field. As long as we are competitive, a first-round loss will not decide...

A specialist hooker makes sense when you have a Bird that can cover backline, back row and halves plus Turuva can cover fullback. Toa may be injured or just pipped for Faatape. Hope his defence is up to it.

Assuming injuries to Olam, Naden and Api's suspension. Here's my team for Round 1. TWAL to defend in the middle for 15/20 mins then replaced by BIRD for remaining. MAY to play 60mins replaced by TWAL. HUNT on for POLE after 20/25 mins. Reverse in second half. SIONE FAINU as backup in the...

Jack Todd looked good for Bulldogs on Sunday. Can negotiate in November. Could have a big future.

Rumours that Brendan Piakura might not make the 17 for Broncos this year. I doubt it but if so, would be a great pickup for us...

Let's be honest, only Queenslanders think Luai's a grub. The cognitive dissonance is strong. Comparing Luai (niggler at worst) to Slater (knees in the back, boot in the face, tripping, sliding in stud first) isn't even close. Both great players but one has far more illegal acts than the other...

My thoughts on the Galvin situation... Firstly, he's contracted for two more years minimum. Richo doesn't strike me as someone to let a player walk early if they are still beneficial to the team. Projecting worst-case scenarios and then getting emotional over that is not healthy. Personally...

It's fixed. No Bateman or Sullivan. But also no Sione (only 28 players shown)

Would be interested to see how he went there... But ultimately, I think he will be playing 80 mins at half in reserves so he is ready to step in as soon as Luai or Galvin are injured/suspended/on rep duty. He's our next choice in both half positions and transitioning him to centre (a specialist...

Question for the forum, do you see Latu more as a halfback or a 5/8? I have him next in line for halfback when Romey is on origin duty but apparently played more five-eighth coming through the grades...

I know it's not gonna happen but I reckon the Bears should have teamed up with PNG. Their colours are the same just add yellow. That also allows the Perth-based team to team up with Newtown Jets (again WA colour is blue like the Jets) and a NZ south Island team to join later (if it's the Orcas...

Agree. The hope is Olam cements his spot post-surgery. But by midyear we could potentially see a wing/centre combo of Skelton, Turuva, Makasini and May which is exciting.

Supposedly. But I was clarifying the possible source of the leak.

This from the article: "Sources with knowledge of the situation talking on the condition of anonymity said that the request for the player options was first presented to former chief executive Justin Pascoe." Hagipantelis was still there when the clause was first requested. For what it's...
