3. Fonua. Is coming out of the shadows of his rightly touted front row partner. 2. May. Just keeps doing it. The guy's a machine. I will lock him in now for podium points next week. 1. Samuela. Injury has hindered him to date this year. Ran with much more freedom today. Sometimes these wide...

Toa, Sunaia, and Bula giving it to Best, Marjew and Ponga down that right side.

The word up here on Lake Mac, Jolls is that despite the number of outs they have they still expect to win. Newcastle supporters are real diehards. They feel they will win but not by as much as if they were at full strength. Considering they have beaten us in the last 7 games we have played, they...

Think Benji may have learnt the lessons from round 1. The coach regretted being too conservative in attack during the second half when we had them on the ropes at half time. We welcomed 5 new debutantes to the team that day (May, Skelton, Bird, Turuva, and Hunt). It obviously takes time to...

Where is Big Roycey?

Swansea bar cam was really pumping yesterday with 4-5 metre swells. It should die down Friday/Saturday. I will probably go for a run and fish the back of Moon Island. Good chance of some reds after the stir up.

Latu, Latu Latu!!!

Yeah... but we do have the wind in the second half. We have to try to kick deep to the corners, try to force the error to gain field position. Need to use Big Roycey more effectively and utilise Latu's straight running game with an offload.

Surely Appi will kick for goal.

Hey guys we actually have one of our junior teams competing in a Grand Final today (weather permitting). Rather than decrying the perceived lack of quality juniors we are producing, or discussing the merits of running with one or two teams throughout the ranks, perhaps we should shift our focus...

I think our new management got it right this time. We gave Justin every chance to get back on the field with an extended re-hab. Benji and Richo have made sure he goes out to a heroe's sendoff at Campbelltown on Sunday, as well as a combined tribute with Melbourne in 6 weeks time. Well thought...

Whilst we are going back in history a tad, Manly's signing of John O'Neill from the Rabbits delivered their first 2 premierships. Manly up until then had never won a premiership. 'Lurch' had formed a fearsome front row partnership with captain John Sattler at Souths. O'Neill played in 5 grand...

As much as I hate to admit it...we have lost the kids. I would love to read the results from the same age demographic spread for the Penrith Pamfers. I truly believe the age of the typical Penrith supporter would be considerably younger than ours. It's been 20 years since Benji weaved his magic...

Welcome and congratulations on joining our Forum. Your member name does not go unheralded here as already testified by one of our very astute Forum Members in @Halbrowne61. From a 1961 Balmain tragic, I hope you derive much enjoyment and look forward to your insights in the future.

Yep. Couldn't say he Nailed it yesterday!

One of my boyhood heroes. He could really move for a big big man. Those heavyweight fighters of that era were unsurpassed. Ali, Forman, Frazier, and I'll include Ken Norton. That was back in the day when boxers were real boxers. Not retired League players looking for a last payday, or promoters...

I didn't realise just how effective he was. I think Tyrrell may have lifted Fonua's expectations as a prop forward. Great to see the guys challenging each other to push for the betterment of the whole team. Go you Tyges!

3. Api 2. May 1. Pole I thought Fonua stood up during the last 20 minutes when we needed him most. Great consistent go forward.

I find it refreshing in this day and age that Adam is prepared to put himself out there. He is a devoted Christian and family man and isn't afraid to let people know. You won't hear Adam say, Í'll leave it to my manager''. He is forthright and believable. Kinda reminds me of when The Crow agreed...

Wonder what, if any influence Richo has on team selections. The selections of both Faataape and Hope could be considered a shock. They were both playing Qld Cup 18 months ago until Richo lured them to the mighty black, gold, and white. Maybe Benji wants to keep on the good side of the CEO!
