Galvin had his problems with us and didn't improve this year, but he was much more threatening as a wide running 5/8. The halfback role never seemed a good idea. Doesn't have pace or a kicking game and not an organiser. Not sure what they expect him to do at 7.

Two Bulldogs players with much worse high shots than seyfarth...no sin bin. Go refs!

So hard to know who to go for. Better for us if Bulldogs win, but everytime Galvin touches the ball...

I still feel Benji has not improved the fundamentals of strength in the tackle and line speed, and so lots of questions about his effectiveness. But. One thing not mentioned much is our lack of injury toll. There's a bit of luck in all that obviously but so many seasons have been severely...

Just getting in on the anti-woke stuff...I understand where people are coming from with criticising these gestures. I guess the main interest from the NRL is revenue raising. Women of league and indigenous round allow for merchandise and media attention and work to build their inclusive less...

Thanks to this thread my family got excellent tickets to this game! As a season ticket holder I assumed this game was excluded like the magic round match. I should have read the details more closely. We didn't receive any email information about the game or ticket arrangements. But thanks to...

Besides us actually winning more than two games in a row, the round 25 results we need with Manly beating the dolphins and the Eels beating the Roosters look particularly unlikely. The rest of the results (excluding our own games) wouldn't really be upset results.

I was thinking about it and he's made a lot of sacrifices by staying here. At st George he'd have a much clearer path to either a halves role or at 13. They're pretty weak across all those positions. With us he's accepting, it seems, a utility role with no guarantee of position anywhere. Shows...

Can either of them put in a big physical tackle? That's what the side needs from forward signings.

I don't usually re-watch games but we don't often win these sort of games. Some observations... Biggest thing was physicality of Sione, Samuela, Taylan in defense. Twal had some decent contact too. Not sure if Sione has enough lateral movement at 2nd row but he really toughened up our defensive...

That's really poor by Naden, and I hate when players have a go at another team's fans like we did today. I always prefer to celebrate rather put other teams down, and to me that looks extremely immature and a bit pathetic. But I dunno, young people these days seem different and showboating and...

I was loathing the prospect of this game, had no excitement coming in through the pouring rain. The dogs fans were incredibly loud at the start...credit to them. But though we didn't play perfectly it was really physical play, particularly in defense. I still want to see the forwards running...

He had good games for us too. His problem is that he doesn't have these sort of games very frequently. In fact, the last time he made origin for us I remember he came back in similar sort of form to what he showed last night. But yes, he played very well.

Twal needs to run hard and straight. He's one of our typical players in that he folds when the going gets tough. He's massive and yet he runs sideways with twinkle toes. People blaming the backs, and they were average, but we were strangled as a team. Penrith transition so quickly, everyone is...

Thanks for the summary, I liked everything except that last sentence. I think if he's replacing Latu in the halves then we are in big trouble. Latu is the best half prospect we've had since Benji, if he can't stay in that position for us then something has gone wrong. I agree madden is a solid...

AD is a pretty important piece in our squad. He fills in everywhere and is capable as well. We definitely don't have someone matching his versatility and ability. I would not be surprised if he gets a decent multiyear offer from someone. It's a pretty unique skillset to have a kicking game...

I'm very happy however that Twal has been moved from lock for doueihi. I've never liked the third prop strategy as it stiffles attack and doesn't help mobility and line speed in defense. Not sure doueihi is that player but it should be a lot better. I hope bird only has to play an impact role...

On paper their side is very impressive and a lot better than ours. Look at their forward pack and even Fifita coming off the bench could be really difficult. Foran also has a habit of playing very well against us. Yes, their form has been bad and we're at Leichhardt but I don't see much else in...

And then a Luke Brooks special short ball to get the storm back in the game! Not really Brooks' fault there but he's so damn predictable they teed up on that pass and belted the runner.

Speaking of former tigers...Blore is a bog average worker. Not really a weakness but has zero threat in attack or defense. The good thing about him is he does 80 mins of decent footy but would have to be one of the least impactful in the league. And Stefano... honestly I feel he's gotten worse...
