Derrick’s on this forum wouldn’t know a good player if he was a foot in front of them. Hunt and Bird slander is an absolute joke before a ball has even been kicked 😂

If they played a GF against manly they would. They’d struggle to beat Melbourne or Penrith once if they played them 50 times

Cows can make the final 4 but it’s curtains for whoever meets the top 2 in those semis. All these clown commentators preach getting into the grind with Penrith and Melbourne but that’s exactly what they want you to do because they’re so much better at it than everyone else. The only reason...

Brian Fletcher has said this for the last 2 years about Penrith, constantly saying they’re line speed is so good that it looks like they’re offside.

End of 2026

Dylan Lucas is a more than handy player, seems to transition from back row to centre very easily. Marzhew took the 2nd run and flattened Taumalolo, since then cowboys have kicked to him every set and Lucas’ play 2 runs have been huge

Cronullas momentum has literally gone backwards since he came off

Probably crazy but Tom Opacic is someone I’d be looking at giving a small but guaranteed contract. Just a centre that does his job by giving the ball to the winger and makes his tackles. Instead going to Brisbane for a train and trial

Doggies id say. Roosters definitely an option as well

Finally someone else gets it. It sounds crazy to preserve bird by playing him in the middle but I think he should be a carbon copy of what Mann has done for the bulldogs this year. Only really plays 35-40 mins a game. Contributes to the attack really well and makes his tackles. That’s birds...

Hope you’re right bud. Seriously impressive signing that will go under the radar

And have you seen this in Turuva all season or is this recency bias ? It’s hard to defend the best players in the comp, shock horror. All the shape and the pace the roosters had in that play it caused the gap to open up and it was a massive gap between a 20 and a 22 year old. It’s not doomsday...

Couldn’t be bothered to find it but i sincerely hope jack bird is not coming to here play centre. Keep him as far away from an edge as possible. Start him at 13, Bateman back to right second row and then sign Montoya for a wing spot

Agreed. Too many times we haven’t used backrowers properly. iPap has basically spent 2 years playing as another battering ram

While I’d certainly prefer Bateman doesn’t return, I don’t think it’s the end of the world. He’s probably still the best option we have at right back row and I’d like to think he goes better with better players around him. He just needs to tone down the hot head acts and nail down that spot and...

Oregon Kaufusi now a free agent for next season, surely we can go back to the sharks for seconds ? Looked really good at the back end of this year

Only the 5th time last in the last week that arguing logic means sticking up for Benji

You have absolutely no clue if they’re a united front or not 😂 you don’t rate Benji we get it. Morris is listed as the defensive coach and we were one of the worst defences in the history of the league, enough said.

We went through that many different edge combinations and none of them looked like they knew what they were doing, even the basics. That obviously speaks to the level of players that were in those positions but the fact we were so consistently bad no matter who was there is also a coaching...

After what he did as “defensive coach” this season was absolutely diabolical. No thank you
