Skelton's a funny player. He's rocks and diamonds. He can finish and he can hit the ball up as well as any back. Can even force an error or two with his big hits. But he's also liable for some errors. He'd start for quite a few teams so if we need to call on him as depth, we're doing well. As...

Luai will be back in the 6. He's our captain. Also don't discount the value of having a left footed kicker on the left. Madden is a better 7 than Doueihi but Doueihi is a better overall player than Madden. I think if our backline is at full strength, Madden is a better option at 7 because we...

Madden also profiles as the kind of player who will peak later in his career too. He's physically very underwhelming, but does the little things right.

We're still playing with a bit of a patchwork backline. Our two wingers are in the centres and we have two backups on the wing. It's tough to be critical of the attack until we're back closer to full strength. Madden however led us around the park well. The forward pack's performance is also...

Not entirely but two big positives stick out: 1. We've comfortably won the yardage and field position battle in each match. Over the long-term, this produces winning football. Obviously game to game variance you might win or lose based on fluky plays and the bounce of the ball, but if you get...

I want to see a couple more games but he is making a compelling case to remain in firsts. Don't forget he had a few great games filling in years ago before regressing. But this is some of the best genuine halfback play we've had in a long, long time. He organises super well. Steers us around...

6 more and the guy isn't trying to get up?

Happens like 10 times a week. Never a bin.

I'd launch myself at Moses ala Sualii on Walsh at every chance I'd get.

Ennis is such a mutt. Every single call goes against us for 20 minutes, the ref makes 1 call in our favour and he calls it out.

If he was back the 10 he wouldn't have been ko'd.

Have parra been back 10 once?

Every single time we play the eels its a total robbery. Absolute joke.

Luai's contract is still a bit of an issue here. While he improved at the back end of last year and the Cowboys game was the best in our colours, even at his best he's not really a million dollar player. 3 more years of this after this year too so hopefully no further injuries or regression...

Only we can get the week 1 bye and then be the most injured team in week 2

Well worth $400k a year. It would be excellent business to have him re-signed for a further 3.

Instead of protesting on the street, we should storm Wests leagues club and takeover the pokies room. Just sit in there and stop others from using the machines. That'll do HBG more financial damage than returning memberships

Yeah remove HBG or fold the club.

Impeccable source trying to convince us the sky is red and not blue. Even Stevie Wonder can see its the flops at Wests that want to take over the club and bring the Magpies back. The sooner we rid ourselves of the HBG stench and Wests commitment to losing, the better.
