what's that family guy joke again? "A boat's a boat, but the mystery box could be anything, it could even be a boat!" The fact is that we don't know if Attard will end up being good. He's played 2 games of NSW cup. To put all our eggs in his basket and then play a subpar fullback in Turuva for...

I'd hate for us to sign/retain players simply because they have a relationship to a player we want to keep and retaining means we might have a better chance. It's basically nepotism. If she was good enough she would have been given a proper contract.

Sacked is a harsh word. She wasn't extended beyond this year and she was only on a development contract

I think we should be very wary of signing spine players from good systems. Don't forget that Luai looked like he could be a game managing 7 with a kicking game at Penrith last year. At the moment Pezet is untested and throwing big money at him is a risk we can't really take when Luai and Latu...

We should know better than anyone how hard it is to break into the top 8. Those last 3/4 wins doesn't sound like a lot (especially since we had so many close games this year), but it's a massive gulf.

Fail. Dragons and Souths had massive injury tolls while the Titans and Knights were just terrible, so finishing above those teams isn't something to cheer about, especially since we actually had the most luck with injuries out of any team in the comp. We had 4 wins since round 9. 4 wins in 15...

We did well to fight back but we can't be having these 10 minute brain fades that we seem to have so often. The Cowboys are like the Broncos and Storm where they can pile on points in a very quick amount of time. I do think if Doueihi didn't get injured then we probably win because he seems to...

Isaiya Katoa took 2 years of playing halfback week in, week out before he has finally become dominant. The Dolphins didn't drop him in that time for Sean O'Sullivan when they had plenty of reason to. Tell me, how is Latu going to develop into a dominant halfback if we are just going to play him...

I don't understand it either. He and Turuva had a great combination in the first half of the season. Since then there has been constant reshuffles around him, with Seyfarth, Galvin and Turuva either leaving or changing positions, and then add in the injury he seems to be carrying plus the weird...

Or you can compare it to a club like Penrith who gave Casey McLean his debut last year when he was still only 18 and after only 7 games in NSW cup

Is To'a not a strike centre? 9 tries and 7 assists so far this season. He's struggled ever since Turuva moved to fullback, but those two were lethal together earlier in the season

I think he would make a great back up and he would still play plenty of games each year. Nothing wrong with having good depth in that position.

I like that he is playing centre this week and I think he is our best option there for the rest of the year (Doueihi just doesn't offer enough in attack), but I still reckon May's best position is on the wing. I think Makasini is our future left centre

I like that we are playing Doueihi at lock and I just hope Benji sticks with him there for the rest of the year, even if he has a shaky game there.

The problem is that we have gone backwards since the start of the year. The trend line is currently pointing down, when we need it to point up. The past 10 weeks have been very poor, there is no sugar-coating it. Compared to other teams down the bottom of the ladder we have been pretty...

He sounded like a man out of ideas. How many times have we heard him say something along the lines of "I need to look at how I'm coaching", and then the next week nothing has changed?

We have gone so far backwards. We outplayed this Warriors team at Campbelltown earlier in the year when they were full strength. We weren't even close to winning today. And we have been very fortunate with injuries (Bula is our only injured player), and yet we have still gone backwards. I...

Kaeo Weekes has just extended with the Raiders until 2029, and will be on 850k for the last two years. Gives a decent gauge as to what Bula is worth since I think they are quite similar players

I agree. I think the idea of Jahream Bula is better than the reality. He's tall, he's very fast, he's great in the air and he's good in yardage. He has all the tools to be an elite fullback. But he just doesn't put it all together enough. I just think Bula is a high floor/low ceiling type of...

The best thing that could happen to Jahream over the next few weeks is for Turuva to have a few shockers. If Turuva performs really well then it will be very hard to justify giving Bula 900k. Not because Turuva would be our future fullback, but because you'd be getting a similar output for a...
