Well done guys, another great roundup/insight to the weekends game.

Ihad to do some digging and used chat gpt to pull it all together but it looks like he came through the junior grades as a centre before switching to Union and then came back into KoE as a centre before shifting to the wing. So in short NRL experience is zero - but he has experience in the...

Nothing, but if took 5 seconds to look at their website you'd get a pretty good understanding as to why they stood him down. The New South Wales Rugby League’s (NSWRL) vision is to be the game for all, regardless of gender, sexuality, ability or cultural background. In line with our mission to...

I expect that as he is a Wests Magpies Director and WM are in the NSWRL competition NSWRL have taken action.

I think there were a few good signs against the Cows. The kick for KPP to score was just one of several options Luai had at the time so the defence was overwhelmed and overcommitted due to the up and in approach they took at the time. I also get the feel that Benji has given them freedom to...

I doubt Souths will be as easy to break down as the Cows; however, I don't think our game plan changes too much. There is less of a worry about control of the middle, although they still pose a significant threat, and more of a focus on getting reps into our edge defence. Our point of...

Interesting match up this week, especially with our outs in the centres which is where their strenghts lie. I've done a quick SWOT analysis to come up with a potential game plan to beat the Rabbits. Interesting to hear you views and recommendations. STRENGTHS (Us) 1. Second Phase Play...

If we aren't targeting Walker mentally we are missing a trick

I personally would have switched Tito and Skelton, but apart from that pick and stick is the way to go. While I get the thoughts on lining up a big man on Trell defending an edge isn't about a single player. It is a team effort and there will be a plan. The way to stifle their edge is about what...

I think mainly it is a factor of the NRL back three being better positioned and probably quicker across the grass. Its not that is doesn't happen but a lot of the kicks have plenty of height and the chase arrives in time. The high ball causes issues for the catcher and if they get it right and...

Get your point on finding the grass - I was using that as a way to show that his kicking game wasn't "elite" or "outstanding" which is what you would expect from those descriptions. There is definitely a lot to work on for this week.

The way our comms is at the moment the fist update we are likely to get is at 1600 today when he is or isn't named in starting lineup V Souths

You are tight. As a prop Pole is a baby and from what I saw on the weekend is still under development as a starter. I could have thrown Hunt into the mix as well - his attacking stats and time was similar. His tackling output was lower - but without doing more of an analysis was that because he...

I think you took the comment in isolation without reading the post it was related to. I had commented just prior to this on his average to just above average kicking game for an NRL half. One of the poddy guys labelled his kicking game as outstanding - clearly it wasn't at that level. I am very...

One thing I think we, as supporters, need to keep reminding ourselves of is the importance of assessing what we’re actually seeing on the field rather than allowing the final result — whether it’s a win or a loss — to shape our entire interpretation of individual performances. Wins have a funny...

100% - I thought he was good for the most part but his kicking game was bog average. Not highe enough when long and not well directed. I don't recall any attempts at a 40-20 despite a couple of good opportunites and as you pointed out failed to kick to the seagulls. I also wonder where that...

I think AD demonstrated on the weekend that he has addressed many of his defensive issues - including his ability to not fade in and out of the game.

Key takeaway for me was structure. Structure enabled Luai to play his natural game and hit is targets, including the post. I have banged on about it enough - isntinctive players thrive in structure but look like headless chooks without it. The best example of it was when KPP scored off the Luai...

It is well known that if you get under his skin he goes off his game. If he was playing back in the 80s he would have lasted 10 minutes. A little love tap in a tackle and he would be done for the day. At his age he should be laughing at the young punks and giving them some smart lip; but not...

.... and it tastes like?
