I agree but unfortunately laulilii had a stinker yesterday. I credit Moses, he put him under pressure the whole match and this produced a few errors. It was interesting watching Moses' relentless play, prodding all the time, every possession. I feel like the eels had a real vulnerability on...

There was a set in the second half where we were defending on our line and he made 4 tackles in a row, most one on one and against forwards. He has some errors in him and defensive misreads but I completely disagree with that assessment.

Also, doueihi's long kicking game was also very poor. Not sure why he did so much of the kicking but even when we managed decent yardage out of our half doueihi produced weak kicks caught on the full about 25 metres out. Really impacted our ability to apply pressure and defend. Luai's long range...

All of this hurts... Firstly Isaac Moses 1- Wests tigers 0. We lost all grades this week. Not a mature club. Club did a reasonable job of making it feels like a home ground but it still didn't. Well done to eels fans for turning up, was probably a 60/40 split to us Moses dominated the game...

A player who sees playing first grade and wearing the jersey as a privilege. He's totally transformed since back from the third ACL and last year to this has improved defense out of sight. Really good video from the club, making players look good. None of that embarrassing silly non funny...

The Ryles love for Galvin is really poorly done by the eels. Actively discussing who your club wants to pursue undermines your own squad, suggests your head isn't into the day to day coaching and disrespects the other club. It's just totally unnecessary and gives the media too much. Benji always...

@Tucker is speculating and offering opinion like everyone else. He could be right about what he's saying. As you say, we don't know. I find his perspective thought provoking. I don't want him to be right but I can see where he's coming from in his arguments. It's of no consequence on here what...

Really for it to be bullying and unsafe Galvin's got to feel too uncomfortable to go to work. So presumably that's got to be the next step. Feels too scared to go to training, can't face going to the facility, accounts of PTSD and major anxiety etc. so I suppose we have to put him on indefinite...

People saying Galvin is soft etc are missing the point. This is a planned move, it's not about Galvin's feelings. Big money contract waiting at the club he wants, Moses creating a strategy to get him there.

This has pretty big ramifications for Galvin's career. Look at what happened to young tapine at the dogs. It seems his career is over. I think if the tigers fold and meet the demands he gets away with this move, but a big drawn out legal battle where it's probably untenable that he even play or...

Galvin would actually be a really good fit at Parramatta and I could see him really lifting them. He's the exact sort of dominant high involvement running 5/8 they'd need alongside Moses, and he can stay on his preferred left side. I don't think moving to the eels would be a bad move for him at...

Latu doesn't have anywhere near the kicking game or organisational skills that katoa has and I think the only similarity is their size and physicality in defense. I rate Latu very highly but to me he seems more a sparky runner who runs at the line where katoa pushes his side around and sets it...

He's the best young half in the game. Throwing the big contract at Galvin was a real gamble, katoa on the other hand looks rock solid. Just the fundamentals are so good.

I'm not meaning to diminish luai's impact by saying this, but the single biggest factor in our improvement from last year to this has been replacing Stefano with the leadership and consistency and play of May. He is hungry for the ball and seems to love rugby league. We occasionally saw Stefano...

I agree he'd be more likely to re-sign if we're more successful this year, but there's no certainty he will change his mind and his history of release requests and carry on probably gave Richo a sense it wasn't ever happening. They've probably had enough conversations with family and player to...

Brooks serves up a stinker. Walters and smith are an excellent commentary team. They don't spend the whole time with random inane jokes or complaining how bad the game is. They actually seem to enjoy watching rugby league.

I hope the online stuff from players stops. It will all look pretty silly if we don't win games.

I was cautious against Newcastle and Parra first time round, and still feel doubtful here. Tigers usually stink it up after eventful weeks, ala spoon bowl last year. Parra have a good backline, their forwards look a little weak, particularly our former tiger second row. You'd think if we play...

I think fair enough to drop him this week ala Cleary and dropping turuva last year when he signed with us. You can say it's to give him time to get his head together and if the team struggles without him you can bring him back claiming it as the plan. If doueihi and the team go well, no reason...

All this hype is media stuff, you don't drop him or get hysterical and punish him. I agree with moving him out of 5/8 because he's too erratic now and it's not worth sticking with it, but I'd definitely have him somewhere in the 17 and probably at centre. Players understand it's a business...
