I'd probably prefer Zyon Maiu'u from the Bulldogs if looking for a potential guy.

Knights have forgotten what made Newcastle a good football town. Hard work, hard hitting, tough town mentality. Their best halves combination, for the last 2 seasons, was Hastings & Gamble. With Sharpe emerging, Gamble can be the #13. Ponga at the back. Not sure what you'd do with Dylan Brown...

No. Next year for sure.

Thought the Tigers had adopted the I-Formation from the NFL. Regardless- great hole running from Taylan. He looks very likely when he touches the ball.

He's the player most likely to ball play in our forwards. Without a genuine #13 it could fall to him to be that guy. Not as if he didn't produce 200m & 90% tackling as well. A couple of his passes at the line needed good receiving. That pass to Latu was outstanding.

Sloan is a better option on the wing & at fullback than Charlie Staines. But, it's unlikely we will sign him. If the Tigers turn up & beat the Sea Eagles, Seibold may as well start updating his resume. In terms of future recruitment for 2026, I expect we need to see some outs before we see...

Sea Eagles are not as good as some want you to believe, and with a large portion of their starting forward pack out- that is where the game will be won. Our backs match theirs, I believe. The forward rotation, and how Charlie Murray & Tony Sukkar are used, is pretty important. Once the game...

The club infused the squad with talent from outside the organisation for the 2025 season. It only makes sense that the following season is a more refined signing 'spree' more to fill the perceived gaps that remain. It's now more important for the development of the younger in-house players to...

He's big, tall, athletic & a worker- in a team that has depth issues in his preferred 2nd Row. Smart move for all involved. He'll get some gametime. He could EARN a lot.

Doueihi is #7 until Latu claims the spot- which he will. It won't hurt Latu to get some experience filling in at centre & #13 on occasion if required, adding the to the halves as well. The more he plays, the better he will get. Some will suggest he play 7 in KOE, and on occasion I will agree...

Jake T out after a CAT 1. 1. Bula 2. Turuva 3. To'a (if fit, otherwise Naden) 4. Taylan May 5. Skelton 6. Luai 7. Doueihi 13. Twal 12. Bird 11. Sam Fainu 10. Sione Fainu 9. Koroisau 8. Terrell May 14. Latu Fainu 15. Pole 16. Hunt 17. Sukkar

Jake T out next week..

Looking at the draw, there is a very real chance they don't win the rest of the way in.

Next week- Tigers get the bye. Souths v Titans. One of these teams falls further away from the Tigers Eels v Cowboys. One of these teams falls further away from the Tigers Dolphins v Roosters- two teams a smidge ahead, one doesn't gap the Tigers Dragons v Sharks- 2 teams a smidge ahead, one...

The winner of The Trent Runciman Medal is....Adam Doueihi!

Give him 2 years with an option 3rd. He plays #7 until Latu wins it off him. Latu plays #14. Gives the team it's best chance of winning.

1- Doueihi 2- Twal 3- Bula

I think we need that size investment, regardless of the name. Size, mobility & aggression. We get dominated too often. Some of the best teams get penalised quite often. The Storm have a never ending supply of "on reports" per game- generally in regard to the same few guys. But those guys bring...
