Richo is gone. I don't think Richo is gone because of the independent directors getting the sack. I think the independent directors got the sack because HBG wants Richo gone and they were all Richo aligned.

If anything NRL will keep expanding on the concept and play more games internationally. AU and UK travellers making up most of the audience isn't a bad thing when considering NRL want to sell individual games to other destinations. It's a big tourist injection for a city hosting the games...

I think Pole has desires to represent NZ, won't be picked tho. Toa played for Tonga when they toured England. Doubt he will be picked but if a few fall over he could be. Skelton toured with Samoa last year, Hunt has played for Samoa too. And don't forget Seyfarth for Australia 🤣🤣 Richo...

Would actually be ok with Dogs winning. Brisbane have a bad record against Penrith but think their style would pump Dogs. Just want to watch a grand final without Penrith. Broncos v Sharks would be the most entertaining GF of the remaining teams.

Would be keen on Radley. He's someone players don't want to run at. Ball playing lock, who runs hard, hits hard and has played plenty of hooker so can give Api a spell too. Only contingency would be for the club to investigate if his previous concussions would rule him out of a future...

Issue is teams can give players job's off the field within the current rules. And those salaries could be anything. Hence Roosters and Broncos have the most funds to do this. They aren't magically getting players to play for less under the cap, they are handing out high paying "jobs" to keep...

No, the deal Melbourne want for Pezet is he is assured a starting spot for 2026 before coming back to Melbourne in 2027 (Munster to Bears?) Only way they get that is if a starting half at another side does a ACL during the rep games/pre season.

Reading between the lines of a few Bula rumours doing the rounds: - Bula manager using Bulldogs to push up Bula's price and a long term deal. - Whether or not Dogs actually interested, who knows. But Bula would be a big upgrade on Tracey. - I.Moses doesn't want us to activate Bula's 1 year...

This would be my pick too. But hopefully we pick up a decent starting prop, Twal to bench and then Hunt/Pole to drop off.

I'd take NAS for a year before he goes R360 for 2027. Too much of a risk for a longer deal.

With two new Super League teams coming in for 2026 plus overseas player quota increasing from 7 to 10, I can see these type of limitations being scrapped.

Reckon Perth will have strong TPAs with all the mining money over there. If they can tap into that they'll be sweet.

Bro what are you talking about? The game was at the SFS not Brookie. And what rain? Highlights from YT seems pretty dry. Let's leave the fake news for Facebook and Twitter yeh

Had a weird dream last night we'd get 2 intercept tries in the first half. Did I manifest this? Woke up before I could see the 2nd half.

There was a run y'day by AD through the middle where he looked like Yeo getting that post contact. AD is big now but not a huge amount of muscle, add 5kgs over the off season and he could be our temu Yeo. No locks really off contract, if AD was keen for it I'd happily resign him tomorrow as...

Big for Toa. Smith is a great defender, hopefully Latu can get Toa 1 on 1 on the replacement.

No clue, our dev deals have been all over the place this season.

I believe this is our currently contracted Top 30 for 2026. 1. Bula 2. Turuva 3. Toa 4. L Laulili 5. Skelton 6. Luai 7. L Fainu 8. May 9. Korisau 10. Pole 11. Sa Fainu 12. Pearce-Paul 13. Twal 14. Sullivan 15. Si Fainu 16. Bird 17. Seyfarth 18. Hunt 19. Sukkar 20. Mason 21. Makasini 22. K...

I'd go Gagai for 2 years. Makasini is only 17 and gives him 2 years to learn from a former international/SOO rep centre. Worst case Makasini leapfrogs him before the end of 27. I see no downside particularly with the alleged $400k price tag. That's close to an average wage in NRL these days

I think Bulldogs are about 2 years ahead of us in their rebuild. Biggest change for them has been culture and buy in. Anyone that didn't buy in has left. We are on the same journey, difference is we don't have the money that they do to expedite the process. HBG needs to pull their finger...
