Do you see the look on his face, he looked real excited to be there. I’m not sure what the hold uk is, but it’s 💯 certain he is not part of Benji’s plans moving forward and I’m assuming Jack Bird himself can’t wait to get the the UK so he can be part of a team. You would hope his departure is...

Latu is still a potential superstar, potentially the best player in our team, but I still question whether him playing halfback/ first receiver best suits his strengths ? He is an extremely strong and explosive ball runner who when fit, healthy and at his best we ideally want running the ball as...

I’m pretty sure Jack Bird has not been training with the team, he’s sitting in the departure lounge with a flight delay for some reason.

We could potentially combine the 2 teams and field strong teams every season, but is success more valuable than doing the right thing by both areas being the Balmain district and the Liverpool- MacArthur region ? Where would a single identity team be based that would satisfy both regions when...

The sticking point for Onitoni leaving was not allowing a clause in his contract that stated he was free to leave if Galvin extended his contract with us. Our past messiah well and truly stuffed this up, I don’t think Shannon Gallant will make these type of monumental mistakes moving forward.

Very astute draft picks, top 5 players to watch from our SG Ball teams. Both young halfbacks have plenty of potential and I reckon Zane Farr-McKay is potentially as good if not better than Christian Taupau-Moors.

Great work lads, can’t wait to your next one with trial 1 review and trial 2 preview 👍

You would think 14 will be either Hope or Murray. Just on Hope I have now seen plenty of our supporters say he was poor on Saturday. Sure he can be better with his passing game, but geez I thought his defensive line speed was great and he looks a bit bigger than last season helping his defence...

Another really good podcast, good input from all 4 of you. I was happy to hear someone else impressed with Luke Jack. he’s starting to grow on people and I think he is a definite player to watch as the season progresses.

I was also thinking they will likely get outmuscled due to lack of size. The good thing about these players is their high energy style of play, demonstrating good line speed when defending and good leg speed with their ball carries. I know you like myself have always been interested in us...

I thought and was hoping Jock would play well on Saturday, but he was off the charts, a 10 out of 10 masterclass. Since he was last with us he now looks much more comfortable in changing tempo, playing straight, digging further into the line and looks to now have a much smarter and improved...

Any players stand out at Lidcombe on Saturday B2 TL or anyone else who attended ? Am I right is saying Riley Oitmann didn’t seem like he got much game time, but was sharp and made the line break to create the final try once he was given an opportunity ?

You are right is saying lack of aggression can be a problem with young forwards trying to make their mark in the NRL. I do know the flat starting point instructed to our edge back rowers has been a problem for a lot of them who rely on hitting top speed to show their best. There were signs we...

I know the flat starting point which I believe is instructed throughout our top 3 grades definitely effects the attacking threat of some of our young emerging edge back rowers as many of them are used to standing deep and running into the ball at speed before they started playing the much...

They were missing a couple of their better players on Saturday including young Speechley who is a very promising 9 / 13 who is powerfully built, runs the ball well and hits hard in defence, he’s a player of the future. Disappointing start to the season, but they will definitely win a few games...

Interesting as my son played on same team as him in his younger days and was at same school as him. He was always a very polite and respectful kid and I think that is part of his problem, he doesn’t have a bad bone in his body. For him to continue playing NRL long term he simply just needs to...

Plenty to do with it, Parramatta would not have afforded to register Pezet’s contract had they left room for Lomax to return. And the Storm certainly would not have agreed to release Pezet while still contracted tn them if they knew the Eels were going to handle it this way in return. As someone...

That would be the common sense outcome, but common sense is not very common these days.

They got something in return, they got Pezet. Now they are just being greedy and wanting him tn sit on the sideline and not play for anyone, it’s very petty.

They used the Lomax contract money to sign Jonah Pezet who would have stayed with Melbourne until linking up with the Broncos in 2027 unless the Eels come in with an offer of much more than what he was being paid by the Storm. Melbourne Storm done the honourable thing and released him to allow...
