One of the reasons we’ve improved this year is because we have wingers that can actually start our sets well. Turuva and Skelton have been super underrated this year in their impact to start our sets well. We no longer get to tackle 5 and are kicking from within our own 30m. Not to mention...

It’s funny you say that because I had both a Souths fan and Roosters fan last night both tell me they had the slowest back 7 in the comp. It’s easy to look at the squad and say we lack speed because we don’t have a ‘hammer’, but you actually need to consider what other teams have. The...

Also manages the Fainu's, Laulilii's, Saukuru, Feledy and Jack Bird.

KPP really has been a victim of the system/team he plays in. If you watch how he played in the Super League, it's very different to how the Knights used him. His offloading ability has been completely underutilised at Newcastle and it seems like hes been told not to. Benjis play style and...

I saw it on Code sports and its not in a format that i can copy and paste easily. However the number of players by club is below: Rabbitohs - 10 players Panthers - 8 Cowboys - 7 Dragons - 7 Broncos - 7 Dolphins - 7 Bulldogs - 6 Storm - 6 Titans - 6 Sea Eagles - 6 Knights - 6 Warriors -...

The Daily Telegraph/Code Sports released the games top 100 highest paid players, with only 4 Tigers players featuring. Rank and salary below: 76th - Jahream Bula (675k) 72nd - Terrell May (700k) 62nd - Api Koroisau (710k) 5th - Jarome Luai (1.2m) This just shows how good a job Richo is doing...

It's a 30 man squad with a salary cap, you can't have 3-4 back ups for each singular position its not plausible. Most those guys (except Hoeter who has only played 2 games in 3 years) are first man up for their squads in the outside back positions. I couldn't think of a bigger waste of a top 30...

Absolute waste of a roster spot imo. I'd rather have Mapaplangi, Tui'tupou and Tavana on NSW Cup/Dev deals than waste a top 30 spot on Corey Allan... Seriously, the guy is only making the Dragons side due to injuries. Skelton, May, To'a and Turuva with Makasini, Laulilii, Mapapalangi, Tui'tupou...

Corey Allan??? Am I being pranked?

Preference would be to land a big fish forward next season, but if we can't land a big fish for next season, the two players I would look at that are available or 'gettable' are Moale and Marata Nuikore. Moale - Still only 22 and most props start to emerge as NRL quality around 22-24 years...

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Roosters let Lenui go and he ended up here. He doesn’t seem to fit their culture and Whyte has really kicked on as a starter this year. Foketi and Steep have featured in their middle rotation this year. Both Butchers have also played in the middle this year and...

Big fan of Mapapalangi, however if To'a is out we should be going with Naden given his performance against the Dogs. Same scenario, To'a was out that game and Naden came in and played exceptionally well. Its a good lesson for all the guys in Cup and especially the young guys like the Lauliliis...

Both Skelton and Turuva deserve ALOT of credit for their finishing ability this year. This is the first time in a long time where i actually have confidence in our wingers capitalising on an overlap close to the line. In years gone by whenever our wingers got the ball close to the line on an...

You would probably assume its the guy who's at least 3 years older than everyone else, but who knows. They may also move Broederlow or Murray to a full-time Cup contract.

Props always take the longest to develop. Not to mention Kit has only played as a prop for just under two seasons. Its the most physically demanding position so it takes a while to get used to week in week out first grade. Our two best props this year have been Terrell and Sione and both were...

Max got a hattrick. He's been killing it in the centres this year. Think Max and Tino Tavanas performances this year is why the club is happy for Naden and Staines to go. Both should be regulars for NSW cup next year imo.

How did CTP look? Did he handle the physicality well?

He’s role has basically been replaced by Doueihi. Ball playing lock off who can cover the backs and halves.

Saukuru has arguably been the best player in Flegg this year. The results started turning around once he moved into the backrow. He’s been scoring and setting up tries for fun. He’s 20 years old and it takes time for players to develop. He’s really kicked on this year, and has a high ceiling...

Ironic considering they’re paying Leo Thompson 850k a year and he’s not even worth half of what Tino, Haas etc are worth.
