Hetherington has a brilliant tackle technique, will run hard. He will lead line speed and chases hard on kicks. I would love to get him here. He won’t break the bank. He is that no nonsense mongrel we need. I will be shocked if he isn’t here next year. I too hope we land Terrell May. Has a...

Bellamy also signed Lodge after his contract got torn up from Penrith. He took his dads police car for a little joyride “allegedly”.

Hard to gauge the organisation side of Romey’s game. Samoa had 38% of the ball for most of the first half so they played under fatigue. They rarely had any attacking sets. He has zero help in the spine Jazz at 9 and Milford at 6 is horrible. Definitely not concerned at all after that game

Skelton was very strong. Tough carries and a couple of nice plays but the clanger bombing the try and then England scoring the next set was disappointing but has enormous upside if he plays on the left for us. Romey very limited but looked dangerous when he had space. Samoa’s discipline was...

I don’t think anything changes regarding Hetherington. The release request was from Hetherington seeking a starting role. We would have a fair understanding of his needs. Not sure if Madge can give him what he wants. I am still hopeful of getting him.

I just heard him on SEN and he radiates great energy. Every interview I hear or see he has a smile on his face and always talk’s positive. I know he won’t publicly smash the club anyway but he genuinely seems happy here. I enjoy watching his interviews he does give off great vibes for our...

That series against Tonga was extremely slow. Referee made sure Tonga never got a roll on. He reffed it perfectly to suit England. Not sure thats a good form guide.

Yeah I watched on the weekend. I don’t recall him touching the ball until around the 27th minute. He did make his tackles and was busy in defence. If I didn’t know who he was I wouldn’t have noticed him.

Yeah maybe. Berala definitely punch above their weight.

Not sure where the Berala thing came from as I heard them say Berala when he was getting his ring but I was involved with St. Marys for over 20 years and I remember Tito playing there at around 10 as my mate coached that side. I am pretty sure he only played for Saints before being graded at...

With some of our performances it does make you wonder what they do all week

Some of St.George and Souths players where professional in the 60s.

I am pretty sure we just extended with steeden. I hope I am wrong but I think its 3 more years unfortunately. We haven’t had a decent looking playing strip for years. I agree also on the “quality” of their gear it’s rubbish. Surely we have a jersey design change. This year is the 20th...

Bit of chatter from Roosters fans its Hyundai upgrading their sponsorship of the chooks.

I think he was ok. Was a handful every time he ran, 1 stupid offload (attempted offload) though. Got through plenty of tackles. I wouldn’t say 15kg. Played longer minutes than he normally gets against the top of tree Panthers. He might have to drop 5kg but not much more.

Wasn’t his size. There where bigger kids against him. His ball playing was unbelievable. Difference is the no look passes cost you in the nrl when they don’t come off. Also when your defensive efforts are poor you become a target at nrl level

Totally agree regarding Schuster. He was by far the best 6 I have seen in junior reps. I knew the assistant coach of Parra Matts team and they where shattered at losing him

Skelton is starting. Staines couldn’t run through wet tissue paper. He is all effort but gets dominated and getting dominated on tackle 1 or 2 kills your sets. Can’t have a terrible defender at 13. Pole’s contact is poor and lacks the ability to finish off tackles when 3rd man in. Impact forward...

He was held in high regard at Penrith. He was by far the best forward in his age group (plenty of good forwards in that age group). I watched him in an u17s major semi and he tore the opposition pack to pieces. He got sent off late in the game. As he left the field he was heckled by the dads of...

It’s pretty crazy. Blacktown clubs have gone backwards in recent years. Workers should be a powerhouse but have struggled. City is almost non existent
