I agree that the starting pack is serviceable. We also boast much greater punch added to our backline with the inclusion of Romey, Skelton and Turuva. The problem is that if we start Pole at lock then we are seriously down on impact from our bench. We have big Roycey who is an impact player but...

Let's just say he didn't miss him.

If we selected our NRL team by their training efforts then Alex Lobb would have been captain last year. Lachlan Galvin would be VC. By all accounts Naden had some great games in Cup last year and that is where he should stay. Bradman Best gave him an absolute BATH in NRL last year. I was...

One of the most blatant take-outs in Grand Final History. We were already up against it before the game when Blocker Roach was suspended and tried to serve the suspension when Barnesy unsuccessfully tried to have him registered to play in the Old Dart. The ARL refused to acknowledge the UK games...

Got it. Not a truer word spoken. That's why people will line up to watch star players like Konstas and Glen Maxwell. It's because they have the talent as well as the balls to back themselves in situations where they could well be excused for 'playing safe' to ensure their position in the team...

Would be a tragedy if he didn't. Head and shoulders above every other bowler in the series, particularly when the wicket starts to flatten out. Cummins is runner up due to his bowling, tough batting and captaincy. Without Bumrah the series is decided before the Sydney test and doubtful the...

What do you mean AHX? 'Haven't you been watching Sam Konstas's take apart the world's best fast bowler during the past week!

I think it's highly probable that both Skelton and Turuva are given the opportunity to have a crack at centre early on in the season to see how they go. If one of them can help plug up our massive right side defence issue then we are on a winner.

I understand Jeral ran for 200 metres plus a game last year on the wing. We have really lacked that kind of impact from our back 3 since I don't know when. I also read with interest Kaito's input re Jeral's Rugby 7's exploits in the centres. Lets face it with Jeral and Turuva we have more...

Yep... Rocks and Dimonds!

Having strengthened the roster we will hopefully be in the position where we are competitive in most games and hopefully in the arm wrestle throughout the year. Therefore goal kicking becomes a priority. Getting pumped by 40 plus point per game as we have over the last few years has probably...

Hey fellas it is Christmas time. The time of peace and good will to all men...and we are all on the same side you know.

Love your stuff JB9918. Very easy for my 63 year old eyes and brain to comprehend.

G'Day 'Needaname'. I have re-read my previous post and do get where you are coming from. The intent of my post was to say that it was a shame that one of the real nice guys of our game has been mentioned in an unsavoury incident. I think I became overly emotive with the manner in which the press...

It is a real shame. Anybody who has spent more than 10 minutes in the company of Alex Twal would know that he is an exceptionally fine and upstanding man. My wife and I had the pleasure of chatting with Alex at a WT function held about 3 years ago at Rose Hill Racecourse. The tigers were playing...

Given the visual appearance of Jamie Twal as per the TV footage, does anyone think the local constabulary would require DNA testing to verify the claims of Jamie that he is indeed Alex's brother?

What may not be known about the famous Lockwood/Pringle move was that Lockwood actually brought the flick pass deception ploy over with him from England. Brian played with the Berries in 1974 under Malcolm Clift prior to joining the Tigers in 1975. Graeme Hughes claims that Lockwood revealed the...

I used to live there until 3 years ago. Now happily living on the banks of Lake Macquarie. I think our esteemed moderator, 'Demps' lives up this way as well.

Just putting on my philosophical hat after today's round of signings. Guess you could say that ''The horse may have bolted', BUT a 'bird in the hand'...!

Certainly better than how he is looking at the moment!
