I'm looking forward to Round 1 and keen to lock in some tickets.... been years since I was there - in the fact the northern stand wasn't even built - so any advice on what areas I should try to get seating in? After reserved seats (with have an elderly with me) so perhaps that new stand? Last...

The latest fiasco concerning Jarryd Hayne taking a near 60% pay cut and NRL being okay with it has once again highlighted the vagaries with a salary-cap/TPA arrangement as we know it. It is clear that some clubs do this very well while the majority cannot compete. Some others on this forum that...

After such a poor defensive effort yet again, especially from MM and Tedesco, I wanted to take a closer look at the individual efforts. I know there are many variables including where the player is positioned in the line, effective/ineffective tackles etc. But I think over a period of time a...

I believe it was Kevvie that started the post-game prayer group that we've recently started seeing on field after the full-time whistle. Our new star ET made a point of thanking God when awarded 9s man of the match on Friday night. I read today that JAC is also linking his NRL appearances to...

Sue already exhibited it. So did Farah, Thompson, and a couple of others to varying degrees. But I reckon the desire and aggression of Gavet and Taupau have really ignited the spirit in our squad. This pair have a never-say-die attitude. An extremely strong desire to win. And aggression in...

This time last year, we were still amongst the darlings of the NRL. The commentators loved us and we were very popular on TV. Cut to last night. For the second Friday in a row we were relegated to the replay game (which is warranted BTW). But how the commentators have turned. For those who are...

Every game is important but this will tell us a lot about the Potter plan. Last year Sheen's attack plan A, B and C were "give it to Benji" and when it didn't happen we went nowhere. Now he is out for a few, Koro is yet to return and our attack looks pedestrian on paper. Enter Anasta, who will...

Toddy Payten. I know it's early days, but everything I read, see and hear about what he is doing sounds spot on. Sure, the results are coming but reading his blogs shows what a thinking and considerate coach he is, with a calm and even temperament yet his comment about Robbie Farah's game...

Last week the forwards started to turn things around with a solid effort. Now it is time for our backs, whom apart from Benji and Beu really have been woeful. Lote is so far short of a run he should be doing laps all training. Chris needs to get his head right and Reddy needs to run faster than...

Attitude - or rather a change of - was talked about as the remedy for Saints improved performance last night. We could do with a fair amount of that ourselves! Apart from a few players the attitude just isn't there. If Beu Ryan's attitude was adopted by the team we would be much better for it...

This may be a little premature but IF we need to look at a new starting NRL half back next season who would it be? I'm a Miller fan - he is a natural half back, has loads of confidence and can kick goals but is he ready? I've heard he had an average back end to the season, but perhaps this is...

Anyone else suffering from it? Finding it hard to concentrate, walking around in circles at work, forgetting what I was doing, generally unable to keep my mind on the job! Continually checking the forum for a new juicy thread… How am I/we going to survive the next couple of days before heading...

With the terrible news still sinking in for many of us, I hope it does not seem too soon to start considering this… but now that the worst possible scenario looks likely in regards to Simon Dwyers injury - at least for a year or so - how best do we move on without him in our back row ranks? Do...

For sniffing around the play looking for a chance. For taking those chances! For the hit-ups out of your own quarter. For attempting to create attack when no-one else was capable of it - or even thinking about it. Now get back to training so you can put those line-breaks to bed!! Seriously...

After most games I am left feeling we could be a lot quicker in this area. The teams that have easy metres in them always do their best to fight their way to their feet. They are not so much playing for penalties they genuinely want to play the ball quickly as possible. Apart from a bit of...
