Been saying we are a dumb team for a while now, and not just this season. Thing is, these days players make grade more for their physical attributes than footy nous. For us, every signing for the next while must be smart players - not just because they have the right build for the position we...

2nd row bench now...

It hasn't even started yet and I already can't bear it!

There's a bit to this. Mainly, is the ball being caught with the FB or winger on the front foot. If the team has defended well, this is likely as the kick returner can stand deep and run onto catching the ball which always gains good metres. If you have defended poorly, you'll be catching the...

18th man Cummins will be worth around 12 points... can we overcome that?

At present, I spend far more time here than on Facebook because of all the rubbish being perpetuated there. And I even feel trepidation before checking into this thread...

Junior is light on his feet and pretty quick, so I think he has a good future and probably more upside than TT. But he needs some serious work on his defence, his arm-grabbing against Brisbane set off alarms for me. The bigger issue is that he's also playing alongside a 2nd rower who isn't great...

Our team is not the smartest in the comp. I wouldn't over-complicate things for these guys. In fact I'll be happy if our young centres can stop arm grabbing and actually line them up. Given that our back-rowers are prone to also arm-grabbing I think we'll be in for it... the only thing that...

And that's how Gus will get the Dogs out of cap trouble in double quick time. Like he did the Panthers...

Maybe he's not totally happy? There was talk of him going to Manly and maybe that's what he wanted... in any case, we need to upgrade him as he certainly appears to have hit his ceiling with us. TPJ would have been a great upgrade.

Our young centres need to find their shoulders this week. If they are turnstyles again it will get very ugly, Turbo will get a double hat-trick.

There are very, very few that I would pay overs for, but these are two. Definitely marquee and would tick all the boxes. TPJ, not fussed tbh. Would have been a good signing a the right price but a bad signing at overs - which would have been the next step.

Amen mate, amen.

I would doubt Bellyache/Robbo have to mate. We are clearly lacking enough footy smarts across the team to lead and inspire with all these small aspects of the game that just have to get done if you're going to be competitive at elite level! Blows my mind that they need such 'leadership' but it's...

Sharks are circling... or ex-sharks anyway, they are hoping to smell blood in the water.

Exactly! Someone getting space without earning the stripes first...

***What we disliked: Broncos discipline proves costly** Nine errors and a 6-1 penalty count will be something Kevin Walters will need to address after Sunday's loss. With the scores locked at 24-all heading into the final stanza, Brisbane continued to shoot themselves in the foot with costly...

It would be a no from me. But will watch him a little closer this weekend, I haven't seen him play for a while and will be interesting to see if he is making a difference in leading the Broncos pack.

Perhaps they thought it was a good opportunity to find out if MM has what it takes for Origin? Hopefully they can draw a line through his name now and start considering other back-up, because obviously he doesn't... was behind the pace of the game all night and offered very little except a...

Agree, when I turn it on and see the panel with those four, I just turn it off. Not only disliked but also agenda driven with their playing backgrounds. I know it would be hard to be totally impartial, but these guys are so biased it's unwatchable for me.
