Titans, Eels & Dragons have had all their Bye's. That needs to be taken into account. Not surprisingly- nearly ALL the top sides, except the Raiders & Broncos, have also had all their Bye's. When you factor in the free 2 points to the teams still to get their 3rd Bye....the ladder looks...

Just looking at players that are actually off contract & available, I think that Taylan May is an obvious re-sign for the club. If Sullivan stays- he's the back-up #7. If the Rabbitohs decide to keep him, the club needs an option at #6/#7 as a back-up. Tom Duffy, Sean O'Sullivan or even Blake...

Roster turnover will be key to the success of the club, obviously. I think we probably have 22 players on the books at this point for next season- Backs- 1. Bula 2. Turuva 3. To'a 4. Skelton 5. Luke Lualili'i 6. Luai 7. Latu Fainu 8. Mason 9. Saukuru Forwards- 10.Terrell May 11. Twal 12...

Need a utility forward to cover #9. Carrying a specialist hooker for a team that is short impact, when the specialist on the bench is more 'tradesman' than 'impact' is a waste.

Not a lot to like about how we were dominated through the middle. Hopefully Bula is back. 1. Bula 2. Turuva 3. To'a 4. Taylan May 5. Skelton 6. Luai 7. Latu Fainu 13. Doueihi 12. Sukkar 11. Samuela Fainu 10. Pole 9. Koroisau 8. Terrell May 14. Hope 15. Royce Hunt/Kit Lualili'i 16. Sione Fainu...

It'd be great to sign Papali'i. Of course, front row is probably the position we are most top heavy with, so there is that to consider before bringing in a guy to take the place of one of the existing players. #13 however, is being filled by one of those front row options in Twal. So Frizell...

Knights signing Papali'i depends on the contract status of Gagai & Frizell. Tigers have been linked to Frizell through Benji & #13 is still an upgradable position. Gagai to replace Doueihi now that he is a Moses client. It's not that long a bow to draw..

I'd much rather Bula, and was happy with Turuva. But if Bula WAS to go, Will Kennedy is a good player.

Cowboys & Dragons have a rough ride home & shouldn't be discounted....but the Eels get it worst I think.

They have a great run home to play themselves into their peak form.

Latu looks like the kind of talent that makes other players want to be in his team.

Momentum at this time of year is a greater quality to have than anything else. It gives the players belief, drives them on. They MIGHT have gone out the gates a week or two early. But still- they look quality. What you don't want to be is wobbling now, or suffering significant injury. Metcalfe...

And a Bye

I'm getting the feeling that the Panthers are the team to watch

1. Turuva 2. Staines 3. To'a 4. Doueihi 5. Skelton 6. Luai 7. Latu Fainu 13. Twal 12. Sukkar 11. Samuela Fainu 10. Pole 9. Koroisau 8. May 14. Jack Bird 15. Sione Fainu 16. Seyfarth 17. Murray Given it's in NZ, Hope, Mason, Tu'itupou, Luke Lualili'i & Kit Lualili'i to travel. To'a might miss...

Let's see....Round 19 coming up.. Raiders- 30: v BYE, Eels W, Knights W, Dragons W, Sea Eagles W, BYE, Panthers L, Tigers W, Dolphins L - 44 Points Storm- 28: v Knights W, Sea Eagles W, Roosters W, Eels W, Broncos L, Panthers L, Bulldogs W, Roosters W, Broncos W - 42 Points Bulldogs- 28...

Too hard. We don't win without Doueihi's general kicking game. We don't win without Skelton, Turuva & Staines gaining great metres. We don't win without Latu Fainu. We don't win if the forwards don't play to dominate the field the way they did. We don't win if Hope doesn't get good service...

Murray is probably physically advanced- both in age & through competition. He's been Q Cup level for a few seasons now. I'd say this could explain the pecking order.

Doueihi's age is like a NRL360 report on a contract value it seems....wildly inaccurate in order to suit an argument. :) Doueihi is 26.

With Royce Hunt not exactly hitting the way we hoped, there is room for that 'big' front rower. This is where Viliame Fifita from the Dragons could fit. Offers that bigger body shape. Taateo looks promising. I think our KOE depth next season is going to look very good.
