3 Brooks (looked unbelievable, knew he would come good!) 2 Matulino 1 Rowdy

Was scary at the end there but in all honesty getting a win against a team that were up against it like the Eels count for a lot.

3 Thompson 2 Masters 1 Rochow/Benji

3 Packer 2 Brooks 1 Rochow/Matulino

Strongly agree with this. While our attack is definitely an issue, it was always going to be because of how many new blokes we've got at the club. I still believe it's going to work itself out, and I'm happy to wait for that. Although it's a different story if it still looks like this in 5 or 6...

3 Benji 2 ET 1 Packer Overall a great team effort. Can't really fault anyone.

What a game. So proud of this team. Attack looks clunky but to beat Melbourne at home in Billy's 300th with a 9-1 second half penalty count AND a sin binning? That's just ridiculous. I don't know how he did it but Cleary injected some much needed heart into this team. We don't look great with...

Love this guy. Hope he stays long term.

Boys looking good running the ball. Still not impressed with last tackle options but showing a lot of grit. Forwards have been influential, although we've gotten plenty of piggybacks. Team also looks a lot fitter.

I'd say Tui has everything it takes to be a greaat fullback. His speed/acceleration is good enough, decent step, can obviously set up his outside men considering his time at 6 in juniors and last year. Although I've got this uneasy feeling that he'd make a better 6 than 1\. But I think if he...

Interesting if true. Lends a bit of credence to the idea that Teddy would've stayed if Moses was signed on. Or maybe they just planned to go to another club together all along. They seemed awfully happy to leave Wests Tigers behind. Woods, for all the rubbish he cops, seems like the only one...

Will people stop bringing up his debut game? He played against a Dragons team with literally more than half their first grade squad out. Anybody would've looked good against them. He's played better games since. He had a great year in 2014, but then regressed with Jason Taylor. Certainly his...

My money is on Nofo, Fonua with Suli and Milne as starters. I'm guessing Marsters will be moving to the second row, looks much more ready than Suli.

Lolohea for sure. Easily the backline player with the most potential in our squad. His games at 6 are helping him work on his passing game, and his running game is already starting to come together. He can only get better with more space and less pressure. Think his speed will improve too. The...

Even though our forward pack hasn't been the best in recent years, the losses can't fall on them. I think we've all noticed a lot of missed opportunities due to not being able to build pressure i.e. the short kicking game of Brooks has been left wanting. Our forward pack has overall gotten...

Never liked the signing of Reynolds, and still gutted we blew our chance of getting TMM back. Otherwise our recruitment has been pretty solid. No-one could've predicted this kind of player movement in the off season. Although I do expect one more signing before the start of the season. The...

Reynolds is on $800k p.a., although less on the salary cap obviously. Teddy though is worth the $1.2 million. Moses and Woods, not so much.

I'll admit it, I laughed.

For what it's worth, I think the thread should stay open for a little while longer. Surely there are a few more articles coming. I've gotta say, this whole contract saga has really been disappointing. Tedesco is (was?) my favourite player but he really hasn't carried himself well through this...

Meh, honestly not too cut up about it. Glad we're not paying him 800k to stay. Hope he goes well at the Bulldogs. But I honestly reckon the Bulldogs are gonna stay an average team and he won't be winning any comps any time soon. Teddy though…
