    TEAM LIST Round 7 vs Broncos

    Still a very strong broncos side. Looking purely at line ups, very evenly matched imo. Would be a great win if we can get the job done.

    LIVE GAME Round 6 v Knights

    I think Maka is doing well for 18 but agree he looks like he needs a break. Personally I’d give him a week off then bring him back on the wing with Taylan. Can’t expect him to play every game so a week off now or soon is about half way between our first game and our next bye (my god round 1 bye...

    LIVE GAME Round 6 v Knights

    Yeah wow what a half. TBH just hope we can keep foot on the gas and have this wrapped up at the 60th minute so Api can get a rest...He can't play 80 every week and its rare we could have a match won early on.

    LIVE GAME Round 5 versus Eels

    Few calls go our way but showing we stay in the fight this season. Seem we struggle a bit in early minutes when teams come out firing - our middle are good but struggle a bit with containing high impact powerful middles.

    LIVE GAME Round 4 vs Warriors

    Does anyone know what happened with Skelton? Is he injured? Great win but getting a bit skinny in the backs.

    Missed the raiders game so a bit hard to comment, but personally think we’ve seen enough from both Latu and Douiehi to suggest either of them could be our 7 and we could still make tue 8 next year. Extremely torn on who should get the role tbh. Important to remember that neither Latu or...

    LIVE GAME Round 26 v Raiders

    Tonga too. Katoa + Latu in the halves with Hopoate at fullback is a hell of a spine. Imo the whole international/origin eligibility needs a refresh. Current rules in place reflect where the game was in the 90s. I’d let people play for whatever country they’re eligible for without it...

    LIVE GAME Round 25 v Cowboys

    Sad ending to our season - played well enough to win but too many poor moments got us in the end. Didn't really learn much new though - we knew we didnt have enough depth in the middles and that came through. Thought the lack of middles meant we couldnt put the game to bed earlier. Also...

    NAS similiar category but I feel he is a bit more risky.

    Lots of comments about getting value for money. Fair enough - generally that’s what you need to do to put together a strong top 30. Really do feel though we need a starting middle who is above average/rep standard. I also assume we must have some decent money left considering what we offered...

    Magical 9 Wins

    Hard to say a success as we havent made the 8, but it is no doubt the first year in a LONG time where we are clearly on the right track. Good to see. During our mid year slump I thought we should at a minimum change up our assistant coaches. Hard to argue we should change much at the moment. A...

    LIVE GAME Round 24 v Manly

    Didn't get to watch the game today. Great to hear about a good win though. Just wondering how Murray went? Saw he only got a few minutes - he is getting a few games now though.

    Desperately need another starting middle imo. Lock or prop. Would be putting aside at least 650 tbh. I think we need someone well above the average starting middle to give us a squad with a better than 50% of making the 8 next year.

    IMO all depends on the money. 400 or under and a good deal.

    2026 squad - still not good enough

    Yep, he is right up there. Is he a top 5 (maybe ten for props as there are two on the field) prop though? On the cusp IMO. Still have him one tier below a Payne Haas, JFH, Fonua Blke or Tapine though for instance.

    2026 squad - still not good enough

    Yeah fair call. In my mind that category was top 5 in their respective positions. Would argue Api is, Luai should be. Bula is a brilliant player but there are a lot of great fullbacks. All the categories are really just estimations to gauge where the full squad is so plenty of room for...
