Indeed. And yet at the same time clubs get vilified if they don’t reward supposed loyalty. It’s a two way street this business.

Re picking Douehi at 7: Everyone can see AD isn’t a natural halfback. But sticking with a combo that (a) is working and (b) trained together all off season is a defensible call. That reads more like backing his players than stubbornness. On the ego point: I don’t agree with every selection, but...

Turuva Daylight

What a hog of a play. Totally butchered that.

Even a failed torp works. No idea why we are doing these useless kicks all night. Reminds me of Taylor-ball.

Put up a torpedo Douehi instead of these nothing kicks.

I think after three wins we got carried away with expectations. I wasn’t confident we’d beat a Broncos team still littered with stars and premiership winning experience. With Reynolds, Staggs, Mam, Marriner, Piakura, Riki and Haas starting, they’re far from impotent. I am nervous though that...

Fully. A loss here undoes all the great momentum. It would be pretty devastating. And at Leichhardt. Don’t think I’m emotionally prepared for that.

Exactly. Their team is stacked. Arthars and Shibasaki are also excellent Even without Walsh and Carrigan they are arguably better on paper. Plus, they have experience and premiership pedigree. @Tiger_heart it wasn’t a bad performance. It was a few little things that swung the game IMO. That’s...

While I don’t think it clicked, I also don’t think the loss is on the coach. Simply put, we could have won and then the narrative would be different. Seriously. people going off half-cocked here. It was a 1 pt loss to the premiers. The Makasini drop balls literally handed them the game. Benji...

Agree with all your comments. Disagree with this line only. Because Luai had a terrific record when Cleary was out. And he was a match-winner in origin. Anyway, I think people here are just being reactionary in calling for Luai to be shuffled around for Douehi/Madden. We lost by one point to...

Re the halves problem. We saw tonight the difference a proper halfback makes. And I don’t think it’s controversial to suggest that as good as Douehi has been this year, it has never been as your classic, controlling halfback. He runs first. He doesn’t look to pass first or set-up first, as a...

I’m not too deflated after that loss. The team played brilliant. Our line speed in defence was huge. Broncos are simply a class act, even without some stars. Their backs were formidable and together with Reynolds they taught us a lesson tonight in how to contain and convert. Not too dissimilar...

Totally agree.

If we lose he absolutely did. Poor kid.

Bula is not close to the value bracket of the top players in that 900k range. For context, Harry Grant and Crichton are reportedly on about $850k through to the end of 2027. Burton, Carrigan and Liam Martin are around $750k through to the end of 2027. It is also getting harder to sell the...

Totally. All that hot air we had to listen to, when we weren’t even winning!

And by the way, when Benji was asked in the press conference if he can believe it, he totally echoed Mark O’Neill‘s response of Yes I can, when Mark was interviewed on the field after our ‘05 grand final win. Love that!!

Benji is just so impressive. On one hand I love how unrelenting he is. On the other, celebrate the wins! Show some emotion and crack a smile Benj! Sure, the job isn’t done, but look at what you have achieved already: -We are equal top. -You have already taken this team to equal wins from ‘22...

Agree. Wouldn’t it be the best story though. Honestly, which NSW props have been better thus far?
