I'm not too fussed about the signing, looks like we got him cheap (maybe even for free) he knows it is the last chance saloon and he will be in what is a familiar environment...maybe he is just a westie that didn't fit in at redcliffe or bondi. Anyway, good luck to him and i hope he does well...

Our position on this ladder aligns with our position on the premiership ladder except in reverse.

I will give them the benefit of the doubt and say that both Daley and Fittler go into the game with a game plan (a very shitty and basic one in my opinion) however the issue is that if they are not on top after 20mins then there is no other game plan or plan B,C,D for teams they coach. Game 1...

I loved Richo, however his "war chest" comments used to piss me off. Nobody needs to know our salary cap situation other than those that manage it.

Perhaps the club plays this down so that managers of current player that we are looking to extend dont get too greedy. There is no benefit in saying yes we have a spare $1m, however there is upside in saying we are almost maxed out.

No worse than what we currently have is the problem.

With Twal back, his workload will reduce so hopefully more impact, when Twal is out he is that rock in the middle that just needs to be consistent and error free.

With Haas in the team you don't need May. For us at the moment he is a solid defender and high minutes medium impact attacker. Haas can cover high minutes if needed and has similar defensive stats with higher attacking impact. Both need to be surrounded by lower minutes higher impact forwards to...

I would have to agree with you, either untested, too inexperienced or too ordinary.

Its related to types of players they want in opposed sessions and can only pull in those players from teams that have the Bye. Its not an indicator of next up in blues selection. When i first saw this thread fire up again i thought he may have left the Dogs before June 30 and moved to the Wah's...

Latu continuing to be excluded is a real head scratcher. You could argue that he provides better cover in multiple positions than Jock, however with Josese able to cover 9 and 13 and an extended bench you could carry both Jock and Josese on the bench along with Centre/winger cover and the rest...

I do agree about the under investment you can probably jag a premiership here and there without the significant investment because you get lucky with generational talent and other environmental factors aligning (see 2005) however you are not able to sustain success without the funding (see...

We all called out our lack of depth in 2nd row and center at the start of the season....and as bad luck would have it, they are the positions where we copped all our injuries...esp longer term ones.

Rarely see him backing up a break or chasing a player that's made a break. In fact I cant recall ever seeing him do it.

KPP dominates in D too...all injured

Good to see Ethan Roberts back

Penrith players all stay within their lanes and execute close to perfection, they tend to hit and stick in first contact so at most they have 3 in a tackle, 2 put in an effort an 1 will slow the play the ball. We miss tackles and often have 4-5 players making an effort to get a player held. It...

I think its the additional energy they are burning trying to cover for the loss of players. When i played we would burn less energy when we were playing beside our regular teammates as you were not always overcompensating to cover the uncertainty you had with the bloke beside you in defense, and...

I think Schuster needs the season in KOE and a pre season with the first grade team before we contemplate a role for him in the starting side. Toupou was playing first grade for the roosters a few weeks ago so he may be a chance with injuries this year.

AD is the 7 and if he calls for the ball he should get it, looked to me like he was calling for it way too often. He has been immense for us when he has played this yr but he does have a hero complex. Wants to win so bad that he thinks he is the only one that can do it.
