I think Ryles is making a real go of his first stint as a head coach, but Moses plays such a massive part in any success they achieve. Not bagging Luai but if we had landed Moses when we chased him we would probably be on the cusp of playing finals football now. Can’t stand Moses but I rate him...

Watch the Eels do a very quick and solid rebuild like the Dogs did, unlike our 15 year rebuilds that are still awaiting planning permission! Hate to say it but Parra will be a good side next year with a good mix of youth and experience

NRL in 2025 is a game based on speed flair and power. Look at the Phins and Raiders, they back themselves from anywhere on the field but they also build a platform through fast and energetic forwards. We simply can’t play this style of football because we don’t have a roster capable of. So Benji...

Why do people keep talking about signing backs, all recruitment at this stage needs to be directed at getting some speed, size and muscle into the pack. Once we overhaul the pack, than sure look at the backs, but for now we need to be shaking all the trees in hope a few quality forwards will...

Everything that has kept us the bottom of the pile over the past few years is still a major problem. 1 terrible line speed 2 terrible kick chase 3 lack of speed 4 average forward pack 5 zero x factor Sadly nothing will change next year with basically on KPP joining our ranks. It will be the...

I would be very surprised if Bula wants out, even with his blood sucking parasite of a manager working overtime to get him out of our club. I think with the Polly and Fijian connection will keep him at Concord. Moses will probably make it a long drawn out negotiation but at the end of the day I...

Makasini with a bit of luck will be joining a team with far better prospects and a much stronger culture than Galvin and TDS started off in. That should make it easier to keep him happy, although money talks and we know a few clubs don’t seem to be restricted by rules

What players get paid and what they are worth seldom go hand in hand. The salary cap is a real balancing exercise. For every elite contract you have you need plenty of budget contracts to balance your books. Any no7 that has some experience at NRL level candemand a fair chunk of money even if...

I guess that means Bud is staying at Souths

Nothing special from all accounts but I guess with work could be an option. Although highly unlikely they would put the added responsibility of goal kicking on a kid who is just starting off in the top grade.

If you dropped every player after having a shocker, half the team every second week would be shaking hands with Arron Payne. Charlie has shown more passion than most over the past month. Skelton has had some terrible defensive reads of late, but I guess Benji is okay with that. Anyway he now...

It’s funny how things work out. At the start of the season we all saw the centre position as a real glaring weakness. Six months latter it’s probably our strongest position, with May,Star,AD and Big Mac. As for AD , unless we can find a reliable goal kicker who demands a starting role in the...

A couple of the close losses went our way and we would be all jumping up and down now with finals football being a real possibility. Although I guess a few of our wins could have gone the other way to. This year was our big chance, no team is really dominating and plenty of teams are...

In my books the eight was never an even a remote chance right from game one and I thought somewhere around 12th would be a good result. One bye , Cows game at LO and The Coast again will probably gets somewhere near 12th if we win those games

Was not at the game but after watching it onTV it is easy to get caught up in the raw emotions of the last minute win at LO. With the crowd going off you tend to overlook the fact we basically struggled to beat the team coming last on our own home patch. Sure there were positives like May’s...

Disagree he was bog average at the dogs. He ran rings around us at Cambo playing for the dogs

Over the years there have been a ton of good mid range players like Nick Meaney and Jake Averllo come on the market and we have not even had a sniff at them. The ones we seem to target seem to never amount to much

The Poms are going to have at least three quicks who can bowl consistently mid 140’s so it’s not going to be easy going up the top of the order. Like you I would love to see the selectors pluck an opener out of nowhere, just don’t know we have one. Left field but maybe Matty Wade but he may have...

As usual from the Australian unbelievable bowling and rubbish batting. I think the Poms will win the ashes . I just think the Poms batting is better than ours and with Archer back their attack will have some bite. If we are going to be competitive it will be on the back of our bowling attack...

Benji along with every other coach we have had in recent times has struggled for wins. They all have one thing in common and that’s way to many non NRL standard players at their disposal along with a football department ran on a shoe string budget compared to most clubs. Okay Benji did have an...
