You'd also think Benji's coaching style, in apparently letting player's play, would really suit an experienced and creative player like Reynolds. I don't like Reynolds announcing it though, that usually suggests a player looking to put his price up at another club. But I really like the idea...

I doubt he'd come to us but that's a MASSIVE upgrade.

It's really disappointing Stef being picked in the squad before May. I sometimes wonder if it's just our bias and whether we overrate our own players, but looking at the impact of both players on a match for us and May just adds so much to our defensive intensity and attitude, along with all the...

It was interesting the passivity of our play after we had a good first set. Watching paps play and not really competing. Attacking movements were flat with everyone looking around, no one running on. Defensive sets usually started with decent effort in the tackle, but then 2nd and 3rd tackle...

I can understand people preferencing the more experienced origin props over May, but people talking about Stefano as an option are blind. I don't see anything in his game that stands out above average NRL prop. In fact, given he is a weak defender (not in missed tackles but in his lack of...

I'm still concerned about us defensively. There's been periods in most our games where we've not been able to stop the momentum of other teams and it feels like we're getting looser defensively as the season goes on. Melbourne will be a really big test for us, particularly Katoa on the edge and...

I think he could play 13 but I like the balance of him at 13 and impact props like pole and Hunt pairing with him. Obviously Twal is doing well at 13 as an extra prop, but I still like the idea of a matamua or Latu or Dylan walker type playing that role and making us more of an attacking threat...

I agree with your view, I was talking more about the deep dive we all seem to be doing into whether they're cuddling enough in the changeroom. On the field, Galvin has a lot to work on and I agree with you and others who are not yet convinced.

I think all this is too deep. It's footy , they play on the field. I'm glad there's not cameras on my living room to have all this stuff examined. What are you all doing this for?

Savala looks at least as good as Galvin. Definitely has a better kicking game and is a better organiser.

First time this season I think we have a better side and deserve to be favourites. Whether we win or not is another question. I think given our attacking difficulties and their defensive grit (which they only show inconsistently), I think it will be a very close game. Will be interesting to...

Isn't beau fermor off contract next year? Why would we sign Fifita when we can get fermor? Does the gritty stuff as well as the attacking threat.

Why are people wanting to cut his minutes? He doesn't look tired and is consistent throughout his play. I see no reason to stop his minutes, particularly when he wants to be out there anyway. I suppose the question is whether it's worth using two interchanges to take him on and off the field for...

14k with 4k jumping the fence. Leichhardt was packed.

People critical of Bula? He is getting more and more dominant in attack, catches most everything from the back and I thought he handled the line breaks pretty well today. Not sure what is causing this criticism of him. Was a terrific contest between Kennedy and Bula today, I'd say both were the...

I mentioned on the live thread that behind the posts he is a huge talker and brings everyone together. It's not just after tries but all the time. Without him they looked flat and directionless, not really sure where to look. I also think we are underestimating his production. I think his...

View from behind the posts: You don't see the game properly there but you pickup different things. That tackle by Galvin at the end was incredible. The change of direction by Hazelton and just the space he had and him running at speed and Galvin just took him down. That's the sort of play...

Danny Weidler and Peter Fitzsimmons will have a field day with us if we boo. Nine media are big into the Moses camp (or just a mouthpiece for whatever Gould wants) and they want a big scandal to talk 'crisis' and 'bullying' at our club. Don't boo.

The problem is that week to week rules change so us fans get frustrated. There's video ref interventions to send players to sin bin this week, but absolutely no consequence last week. Then eventually for certain games or players it all stops again. As fans we just want the rules to be the...

Does anyone have any info on what is happening in koe? Obviously results are terrible, but is there some kind of plan to all this dropping and mixing of players? Is it just terrible coaching and development or is this some sort of approach aimed at developing juniors that for some reason doesn't...
