Hiw does the funding work for reserves? Is it NRL? Who employs the staff for reserves? Is it West Tigers or Magpies?

Bula to be Dally M fullback of the year Tigers to unearth another Galvin type junior Naden to play more than half the NRL season Luai to challenge Prince’s stranglehold on Tigers best ever 7 Api to win Dally M hooker and be extended for another year

Think he didn’t look out of place on his debut. Looked like he was something to work with. Would like to see him kick on in KoE this year with some time in NRL if he performs well.

Yep - Safari has stopped for me. Firefox and Opera seem to work

I bought a cast iron pan which looked great on the site but ended up with the Temu version - it’s so small I can’t even fry an egg 🤦‍♂️

It would be interesting if he came back. As I recall it, Matterson wanted to play backrow and Madge wanted him as a lock which was more a third front forward. There was also something about being forced to pay injured. Fast forward 5 years and the ball playing lock is in vogue. He would be good...

Just on the debenture system - is anyone aware of the constitution of how change would be facilitated? I’d imagine it would be lawful in its establishment so I am not sure you can’t just throw it out or change it. Is it like it needs 2/3 of debenture holders to agree to the change?

I agree but I think they have both showed something that we should at least have some patience with. They may both be ready today but given where we are with backrowers, they be worth seeing if they can develop.

I would consider playing an extra batter in Sydney given Bumrah’s form. Depending on Head’s calf injury, I would potentially play him as the fifth bowler. Either bring back McSweeney or Kurtis Patterson (who is in rare form).

To the most loyal and resilient fans across the sporting globe - have a merry Christmas and safe and prosperous New Year. After an eternity of being Santa’s naughty list, I think we are on the right side of the ledger this year.

In regards to AD. If he could learn to defend (and that’s a big if) he could be a great bench player. I hoped he could develop into a bench forward (lock, 2 RF) but also play a variety of backline roles centre, wing, fullback, halves in case of injury. Sadly, I am not sure where his future is.

Dummy Half is the most taxing position on the field. Defend in the centre, make 40+ tackles then follow the ball carrier and direct the attack from dummy half. I would be giving TDS long, regular minutes in KoE. Let him develop and share the role next year with API.

Just finished The Fall with Gillian Anderson (X-Files). Outstanding show.

I think you’re right in that one or more of the “kids” will make a huge leap this year. Hopefully their early than expected NRL experience will plus a more intensive offseason will play into our hands. In terms of regression, I am also hoping that the new signings and offseason benefits that...

I still have an awkward feeling that the Roosters know something that may come out in the future. It was just too weird given they lost their alpha in JWH.

If Luai wanted to stay but also increase his contract, we may have been able to guarantee him a percentage of the increased cap. If for example he is on 1.2M of a 9m cap (around 13% I think), then we offer him an increase on the larger cap e.g. 17% of of 11m cap (1.8M). I think the wriggle room...

I think (hope) he is commenting a bit more about the type of person than the value of family its self. I’d say Benji is wanting a group of players who have the right motivations, being here for the right reasons and knowing the change will be challenging going forward. If the group values...

To put that game into perspective, it was that hot and both sides were obviously delirious as Brandon Wakeham came on and looked like Joey Johns!

I reckon we will not enter the market again for a period. We already have some very good signings, and I am expecting that with the focus on higher standards and culture that the preseason will expose a some “gold nuggets” from within the current playing ranks will become NRL quality. My picks...
