    Your team vs Panthers

    As harsh as it was to drop Staines, one of our most reliable performers all year, Tu'itupou has been a standout for Wests in KOE and he fully deserves the promotion.

    OFFICIAL Sunia "Tito" Turuva #293

    Guys like Turuva and Tedesco who run with a low centre of gravity have benefited from the NRL's zero tolerance for high tackles. In the past, the refs would've disregarded incidental contact to the head especially where the attacking player has lowered their posture, but that's no longer a...

    LIVE GAME Round 20 v Titans

    Benji described that our worst performance of the year but in my opinion it rates above Newcastle (H), Parramatta (H), Newcastle (A), Melbourne (A), St George (H), Souths (H) and Manly (A). In fact, we've only played 5 decent games: Parramatta (A), Cronulla (H), Redcliffe (A), Penrith (H) and...

    May in for Skelton next week. Skelton still looks hampered by that hamstring injury.

    OFFICIAL Jersey Flegg Cup

    Saukuru has scored 8 tries in 7 games since moving to the backrow, including another bullocking effort last week. Big call, but outside Fainu, he runs the best lines of any backrower in the club. Hopefully he's in line for KOE this season and will feature in the trials in 2026. But he could...

    Makasini joins the top 30 next season.

    I'm thinking Mason will be 18th man for firsts. It he does drop back, Mapapalangi will make way.

    OFFICIAL Pathways - KOE General Discussion

    Very strong team apart from the 9 and 11, and to a lesser extent, the 12. This week, Payne won't leave Lovodua on for 80 again, rather Rahme will go to lock and Murray to hooker. With Hope expected to play firsts for the rest of the year, Hodges or Haywood would've been a better replacement...

    Team v Warriors

    May isn't in the 22 man squad. If Toa is injured, Naden or Laulilii will be the replacement.

    Bring in Tui'tupou. He will match Skelton's yardage and moves faster.

    Mapapalangi played a handful of first grade games for the Knights last year. He's capable but tends to drift in and out of games. He's a better centre than 5/8.

    Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

    If he stays disciplined he'll be more than a depth signing. He was devastating in his first season for the Panthers pre-injury and off-field incidents. Hopefully Terrell can keep him focused and he can deliver on his enormous potential.

    Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

    He didn't have the same impact as Makasini in the second half but nor did he see much ball. His best moment was when he drove one of the Raiders 5m back into the in-goals.

    Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

    Feledy has been a solid performer for Wests but he lacks the speed or height necessary to become a strike centre. I'd be surprised if he sees any firsts at Manly.

    May was quieter than Makasini but he was starved of the ball. In 5-6 sets on Canberra's line in the first half, we barely went out to May/Tui'tupou's flank. It was really disappointing.

    What a stirring performance! Lobster sets up the penultimate try and scores the winner with two great catches. Makasini and Tui'tupou struck up a good combo in the second half, scoring once and going very close on two other occasions. Tui"tupou looked filthy with Mapalangi for giving him no...

    OFFICIAL Pathways - KOE General Discussion

    Major Payne needs to move Naden to the halves in the second half because he's the only one capable of breaking down the Raiders' defence. We've had enough ball in their 20 to win two games but Falls, Mapapalangi and Lovodua are not marshalling the attack. Our left edge of Tui'tupou and May have...

    TEAM LIST Round 18 v Roosters

    Murray and Hope will alternate at hooker. Sukkar should be the one to make way for Hunt. While he's been impressive in his stints in first grade, he's superfluous to needs with Seyfarth and Murray covering the backrow.
