We need to be patient with forwards as many aren’t ready for first grade until around 23 years old when bodies have filled out and they’ve had some years in reserve grade getting conditioned to playing against men. Tumeth activated an option for ‘25, which I suspect was in his favour. We are...

This is my guess for the team sheet. caveat - I’ve been a bit out of the loop regarding injuries 1 Mason (assume Bula is still out) 2 L Lauilili 3 Staines (assume Olam out based on rumours) 4 Naden 5 Skelton (reward for last week, assume Turuva still recovering from appendectomy) 6 Galvin 7...

Solomone Saukuru surprised me. Ran for 120 metres in half a game and looked strong albeit in the second half against less expensive opposition. Kit was strong. Looked likely with every hit up, especially in his second stint. Tino Tavana at fullback had some class about him. Skelton is...

Yes he had 12 defenders inside him. Had to protect the sideline.

That changed all the momentum

Anyone know what that play the ball penalty was on Saukuru?

Yep I signed up. I usually cancel my subscription for January / December anyway so this saves me having to do that. If you haven’t purchased yet please note it can take Wests Tigers up to 5 days to send you your voucher code to redeem it. I purchased mine on a Friday and chased them up on the...

I’d like to see a rough week to week rotation of tallyn and latu in the 14. This gives them the opportunity to get a full game in Reggies one week while getting first grade exposure the next. It also gives Api a chance to play shorter minutes every other week. Doesn’t have to be like clockwork...

Yes, Tumeth missing out is what stands out most to me. Perhaps an injury?

I purchased the digital membership. Unfortunately you can’t pay the difference to upgrade to the 4K kayo subscription. I’m still waiting for my voucher code to arrive by email. I purchased the subscription on Thursday hoping to watch the nines tournament today. For some reason it takes up to...

Roosters won’t sign Galvin while Moses is his agent as Politis refuses to deal with Moses https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/nrl-2024-paul-crawley-column-mitchell-moses-to-sydney-roosters-stephen-crichton/news-story/e884810f482d3ad37a809a0a6a69ad4a

Great point. I’ve encouraged a few mates from other clubs to sign. They’re happy to!

Their father was a decent player in the Tigers system as a junior. He defected to Roosters and ended up on the scrap heap. You think he would have learnt from his experience that keeping them at the Tigers might have been best for their chances.

Just a bold prediction. No real basis to it.

Turuva was a gun in the lower grades at fullback. Bula spent most of his juniors playing right centre. Defensively I reckon Bula would go ok at centre, while Turuva could carve up at fullback… In saying that, the only way I can see this happening is if Bula has an injury and Turuva replaces him...

Turuva

Angus Sampson is a pretty good actor. Even played a role as a league front rower in Footy Legends (2006) alongside Ahn Do

Don’t be surprised if our centre pairing in round 26 reads Makasini Bula

My high schooler son watched the last quarter of the animated simulcast of bengals v cowboys today. He’s never watched a game of league or NFL in his life but this captured his attention! Maybe something the NRL can adopt in future.
