The biggest surprise is Twal excelling at Lock. Agreed though, Adam Blair a lot like Stefano. Can play well in a good forward pack, being that line icebreaker/ballwrecker. Papalii fits that mould but for a different reason. Being a runner, he needs someone to run off and attitude wise will...

Like... CMON how do I get "Bateman" out of all that. Yes as many pointed out. The Sheens signings haven't worked for us since 2011. Anasta, Blair (maybe, but IMHO we would have been better with Heighington/Ryan), Bateman, Klemmer. When you mention Crap signing + Tim Sheens... it's kinda...

I thought Sione was locked down and Samuela/Latu were the next bros to come. Turuva hopefully will be a resigning. Love the guy and everything he offers for our backs. I really think our edge defense improvement is down to mainly him and Luai.

100% agreed. Terrell has been awesome. I have no idea how or why Easts let him go. Did he bang Trent Robinsons missus? It's a rare gift from the gods him signing here. Ill also state Turuva's impact on the backline cannot be understated. Suddenly we are not giving away 2 tries on the wing and...

hmm, I guess making offers like that is how we get 1m players under the cap. Looks like he is re-signing. However the early media of him saying "he hasn't had a deal yet" did worry me. Really glad to have Terrell signing for long term...

I am pretty sure we got KPP (kai Pearce-Paul) for 600k. Which has really surprised me. He did almost nothing at the knights but seemed to be outperforming Thompson... Moreso, look at our pack! We don't have a Payne Haas, or Taumalolo/player carrying all the work. That was last year with...

Cmon, he is Creamy. He will be Phil Ghould's Apple PIe on Sunday morning... OMG, Phil I was embarrissing with Girls I had a crush on. But man I never stuffed it as bad as that.

Well look at our best retainer, Lee H. I mean no one, and I really do mean NO ONE else in NRL history will ever offer their 29 year old winger a 5 year contract. I mean that's retention and team suicide in the one deal. We never really saw if Richo had value to add to the retention process...

From Syd -> PNG is long enough, worse then Townsville... but I believe only 50% or less home games are in PNG and the rest Townsville.

Honestly Lestronge This is just the comment of the year.

Look how do I put it... In Australia, your safety is that your society is largely peaceful and if there is a disturbance. Police will come. In India, many people say "you will never call the police". Why? because they will ask for a bribe and generally make things worse unless you are...

Sounds mean, but there is no one unsigned for 2027 that I feel we need to sign. 2028 - totally different story.

true, For the record I don't believe there is any dispute between the club and Luai's family.

Which is my point. All it takes is for a boat to drop a makeshift stealth mine and drop it near/around Australian waters. There goes 1 out of 8 360Billion dollar subs. Now could a submarine control a fleet of ocean drones? Or would it just be a giant floating target??

Yes, and no. I reckon the Storm track players like Manase Fainu. If Harry Grant was injured then such a player would be an opportunity for Bellamy. Likewise Wayne Bennett, he would get the club to take that risk and manage him right. Benji, facing a player who has issues? Along with 3...

Yea, I had this theory... So drones now are super cheap. Drones too don't really need oxygen to breathe. They basically need a battery or some power source, they could get a bit of Tidal power... TLDR, a low power floating landmine that could exist in the water for months. A say 30 Billion...

So what: Sam Fainu, Bula, Terell May, Taylan May, Makasini, Turuva, Latu Fainu, Fonua Pole. I suspect the Fainu's will try to play together. But they are the main prospects for the future. Come 2 years time, yes I want Terrell May in our colours. But he would have to be like JWH to keep...

I think you are right. Scanning down the team... Long term: Luai - fat lot of good that did. AD Twal Api KPP Fainu Brothers (at least 2/3 are signed longer term. I know Sione is locked down, unsure Samuela). Shorter term: Terrell May - Must sign now. Turuva Taylan May Pole? Skelton may...

Never Basically Murdoch (?) pumped NRL on tv into PNG. None of the pacific countries other then PNG have NRL as their national sport. You don't understand till you go there. People die during Origin. Husbands kill wives, wives kill husbands over Blues vs Maroons.

Dude, don't scare us like this. Seriously we just lost Luai... I am not in the foetal position yet, but if all 4 go I am finding a dark corner for a bit.
