Picking up the LOCK discussion... Yea we are missing a good ballplaying Lock. I don't think the answer should be May, don't change what works and we need him at Prop. Seyfarth/Samuela are needed at 2RF. But... Looking at the market we can get someone. Luke Garner. Not for lock, I don't...

I totally agree The expected our side to come at least 10th/11th. It's not so much where we are on the table. It's that we are there due to Benji's coaching decisions. The souths game sticks in my memory. It was unstructured attack with luck from Api vs a side that really played hard and...

alas, it dinnit go well. It's hard to tell if Api at 9 and TDS at 5/8 would have made a difference.... Because we kinda saw Heath Mason blow one try (it happens) and manly just seemed to run through us. Luai really missed in defense with an inexperienced fullback, it really showed. Api...

I am just laughing at this: https://au.news.yahoo.com/cooper-cronk-calls-out-lachie-galvin-move-that-backfired-on-bulldogs-in-nrl-loss-to-panthers-205443070.html Masterstroke Phil!

I'm backing Tired Tiger on this one. It's not about 2027. Surely by then Api is moving to Super league, Coaching or a bench hooker fill in. It's about who is our main hooker in 2026 and now. If you want the spot, STAND UP AND EARN IT! Look I am not saying TDS ain't good. But we have the...

Nah, totally disagree there mate. TDS sees himself as the starting hooker in 2026 and isn't getting (or earning IMHO) bench time in 2025. The only juniors and next big things we have had make it lately have been Galvin and Bula. Liddle is playing OKAY, but I don't think anyone really misses...

?? Huh? The next coach needs to be seen so that Benji gets a jump and thinks about the team more then holidays.

Yea, ah ... Are we talking about Selwin Cobbo? Surely he would land a job with Fins or Titans. The difference between him and Sloan is Selwin would be an upgrade.. although looking at their stats, it's pretty close: https://www.zerotackle.com/players/tyrell-sloan/...

I reckon end of 2027, not 2028. Even then it will be Api sharing the role with another player. Look we can see from a mile off what's going on. TDS isn't all that. He has good step and good speed. The NRL hooker he would be closest too IMHO is Issac Luke, and if he has a career anywhere...

Why the hate on API? Seriously. So many games, so many times. The man of the match has been 1. Api, 2. Api and 3 maybe someone else. What, he will slow down at Hooker? Ofcourse he will. Can we keep him on the team? A International hooker who has played in more Grand finals then anyone else...

So dumb question re Hunt. Why not just put him back at 15 or 16 and use him like we did round 1? It worked. If he needs to be flogged at the gym, flog him at the Gym. Stats wise, I did not get the excitement for Hunt compared to May. May was clearly an insanely good forward. Hunt had real...

Does anyone else remember what was happening when the "Big 4" talent decided to leave? Anyone...? Let me refresh. We were punting our club hooker. A player who was the soul of the club. A club junior... The players realised it was all about money and gave up. Why would we do this again? Api...

Gun to the head... Unconventional. But probably a more effective player retention strategy then the one we have now.

Well your handle is Teddy23, so I can't exactly argue. But Teddy did walk and I think we offered him one of the most expensive NRL contracts at the time at 1.2M. TDS is walking. He isn't a good tackler, can attack though. For the Dogs he would be a downgrade on Reed Mahoney.

Sloan, the 850k player? (some said 850k others saying 500k) coming for 250k Junior Tupou who left us for the fins and hasn't really done anything since. ..What is it with the Wests Tigers. We seem to want to accumulate backs that don't quite make first grade. Why? Ok Sloan plays with the...

Oops old kid. Still I only see Tristan Hope as Reggies cover or emergency if Api gets injured.

Discipline has ALWAYS been an issue at this club and lets be honest, Marshall won't fix it. That said, if not Skels.. who else: Tyrone May? Naden? The only player I can think is Staines in and Skels out. Staines should have been a team mainstay and like so many has found better form this...

So.... Why not put Staines at Fullback? Bula is injured. Kind of over Mason, look the games i watched he did not stuff up. But it was clear he misread canberra in defense. Go: Staines with Turuva+Toa and Skelton + AD as the backline.

26 even should be his transition time... But the question is not Api, nor TDS now... It's who is coming up. Tristan Hope seems like a young kid who could, but has been lucky to get a run on in a trial game. Haywood is the other name mentioned. I really want to know if he is really that...
