No. But the PNG club themselves (assuming it's all above board) had nothing to do with arranging the TPA. Just about every TPA who the player plays for would play a role. It only makes sense that a business would approach someone from a club that represents the area the business operates in...

I think it is a bit of both. Would be blind to not have seen their talent whilst at the Tigers. At times we did get the best out of them. Problem is when you have other issues leading you to get beat every week it's hard to keep putting in.

Every TPA exists because the individual plays for an NRL franchise

But he isn't. He is promoting Pepsi.

I'm not sure they have any grounds to stop him. Players can get themselves unlimited 3rd party deals, he has just gone and got (another) one.

Pole has been at his damaging best as a ball runner the past month. Still a very poor defender. Seyfarth cops a lot of unjustified criticism. His ball running is below the NRL average but definitely at least up to NRL standard. He has a nice pass at the line that I'd like to see utilised more...

Did you want leg speed through the middle of a quality back up on the edge? They are usually 2 different things. If you want leg speed through the middle at 13 that's not and has never been Chan. He is a edge backrower who can somewhat do a job defensively in the centres of need be. Problem is...

There's every chance it's horrible with no technique. A bloke that spent his junior sports career bouncing between being a rugby league centre and a basketballer has little reason to develop his kicking. But if you were going to design a body to kick a ball long his ticks every box. Long legs...

Maybe look at the physique of an NFL punter or the AFL players that are known to be goal threats from well outside the 50 rather than simply NRL halfbacks

If Bula is our long term fullback I'd like him to develop a kicking game. Never seen him try to kick anything other than a grubber but his physique looks suited to kick long.

No way to Joe Chan. You could find a dozen better in Reggie's.

He'd be my last option for lock. His key ability is his offload, but not an offload in traffic where the receiver has to then create something but offload to someone on the run in the space that the edge provides. I think he does have skills to be a handy lock but it would be reducing his best...

Burton is dumb but to his credit he no longer believes in a flat Earth.

You can't pass the ball once the ball carrying arm is on the ground just like you can't promote the ball forward in a try scoring situation. It is also at this point players not already involved in a tackle can't join in the tackle. However the tackle isn't completed until momentum stops (or...

Funnily enough the quote from Cameron himself is Gould does not get enough credit for transforming the Penrith Panthers' pathways.

Those two things aren't related.

And then similar questions of all out going players and any current former players that will return my call.

I don't know where the fault lies, likely multiple issues combined. Hard to pinpoint any one issue from outside the four walls. But, yes the buck stops at Benji (and those that initially appointed him and then those that extended him and allowed him carte blanche over his coaching team). I...

These two bench hookers are pretty to watch.

Not without a halfback I don't think
