Keon is much better than Stefano if you're not picking May because he plays for us. Stefano has done nothing and there'd be a half dozen props in better form than him for NSW. Oh well, we all saw it coming.

AD seems nothing like a lock to me. He has just about the world's slowest play the ball, seems to have lost a lot of strength and is not a strong tackler. Most locks, even the little ones, are hard running, strong players. I think we all like doueihi but if May works out he shouldn't be in...

It's a good signing. All this chat about whether he's up to it or if he'll stay out of trouble. But he's on a train and trial, literally bare minimum. We can't go wrong. If it all blows up then he gets released and we move on. Which other centre is available to sign to join us right now?

Big mobile young second rower who is a 1st grade starter in NRL on a team that has a decent forward pack. I think it's a really smart signing and he's an obvious upgrade to Seyfarth. He's the sort of solid dependable player that the Storm would be interested in. He may not always flash like he...

I like Adel's idea on the Wests tigers life podcast of trying API at 13 and TDS at hooker. I think attack wise Api would play that role well. Perhaps bring talyn on after 20 or 30 and play him for the rest. I feel we stifle our attack by playing very limited attacking big men like Twal in that...

What did he say? Ciraldo is a good leader and the bulldogs work hard? How is that criticising the Tigers except through some implied suggestion? He's telling a Dogs PR person that he thinks the coach is good and the players work hard.

What he said was so harmless and generic that it's not even worth considering. Barbs directed at the Tigers? Not really, but I'm sure he'll eventually have plenty. What he said in that was very bland compliments towards his new club. My criticism of him for that is he seems to have that Luke...

Also, not saying it's his fault, but is there any game we've ever played that screams Benji Marshall more than this? This is vintage Benji 2006-2013: look terrible and totally out of it only to produce miraculous comeback and then fall just short and lose it in the end... Benji must be running...

Bird was terrible in his first spell, played a much better 13 role in his second. Do we keep buying dumb ill disciplined players or do we make our players dumb and ill disciplined? Sukkar looks a player. Cant see anything that puts seyfarth in front of him. Mason was a classic 5/8 but I wonder...

We're talking how sin bins stuffed us, the scoreline with 13 v 13 and how a few injuries and 50/50 calls didn't go out way... We've done this before. The game is won when you face adversity and respond to it. Every team has their share of it, not every team concedes heaps of tries when down a...

I saw Shaq as a high school player, he absolutely dominated that level. Any further reports on how he went? Good kid.

Galvin has great fitness and enthusiasm and that impossible to coach instinct to throw the cut out ball or to take the player on at the right time. He is far more assured than Brooks ever was. Even out of form this year, he's a lot better than Brooks just in his willingness to take the game on...

Not to go too far into conspiracy land but he also is very deferential to Gould going back to when Gould coached him at the Roosters. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch that Gould pushed for his inclusion and made it known to Galvin that he was getting such opportunity because of his connections.

Yeah, I see your point. I just think he could have anticipated all this. It was obvious last year he wasn't re-signing. And why offer a million dollar contract if he is so difficult? My guess is that they rate him so highly and think he's so important that they kept playing him and chasing him...

I'd prefer Galvin to leave rather than have him on a 5 year million dollar contract before he's proven anything. But he does have incredible potential. Like most on here I'm not sure his future is in the halves, but he also doesn't have the strength or defense for the forwards yet. I'm excited...

But I love the new name! Given your record, seyfarth is as good as gone.

Weidler has had a go at Moses in the past. Given that, his sympathy for Moses and Galvin means it's not too hard to see that the fact he backed Galvin and Moses from the start of all this suggests that the deal with the dogs has been done for a while. He's Gould's man. You could see that in the...

Feel like @Tucker has been pretty consistent in his opinion. I think maybe Galvin went better than he initially expected but all this criticism of his opinions just seems like bitterness about the Galvin situation and wanting everyone to be bagging him. I don't agree with the club's backflip on...

Parra have had some really impressive periods in games lately. They play with speed and have really threatening backline movements when in gear. Lots of progress from the start of the year.

I created this thread just to have a rant around referees. 16 mins left in the second half, Doggies rushing to get back from a dolphins break. The markers are offside near the tryline but make the tackle anyway. Do they spend 15 minutes video reviewing checking every minute details? Do they...
