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...

The kid is tough and not afraid to rip in. I honestly believe he can be a big success initially as a bench player who can come on and lift the energy as a 13 or 9, but also capable of filling in at 1,6 or 7 if required. One trial game is enough for me to know he is willing to make the necessary...

Is that Keith Lulialia ?

I don’t know for sure, but I’m fairly certain I heard Mav Geyer has a minor injury and I’m near certain Bunty had a minor niggling injury as well.

I don’t think Mason or Hope done their NRL bench chances any harm yesterday. In fact they both ripped in demonstrating high energy and increased their chances of getting on our NRL bench. I thought Hope clearly led our defensive line speed, particularly in the first 20mins when we were under the...

Although Kit did play very well in last seasons trial and had a decent season playing NSW Cup, he was not often as sharp and fast as you would like him to be for a middle forward short in stature. The most pleasing part of his game last night was his noticeably increased energy levels and his...

The leg speed, sharpness and offloading ability demonstrated by almost all our players was a breath of fresh air and it created time and space for our spine to put on a clinic. We were still guilty of waiting and lack of defensive line speed, particularly in the first 20mins, but a few of our...

Attard looks the goods, but is he a better fullback than Logan Brookes ?

And he’s never met him 😂 He’s offering Bronson Xerri to R360 as we speak.

It was a Jock Madden and Makasini masterclass. Very impressed with Luke Jack and Logan Brookes. Jack is a pocket battleship, I think he could go to another level if he gets an NRL opportunity. Attard was very good, but I’m even more impressed with Brookes, he’s tough and breaks tackles with...
