None of the players listed are our future, they are all holding us back as a club.

I will never understand the love for To'a. Sure he can beat a man, but he never chases when a break is made and he never seems motivated. I live in Newcastle and Knights supporters say they were sad to lose him and he was going to be their next Gagai, but I just dont see it. I might be harsh...

This is a terrible take. Townsend should have retired when he left the Warriors. He was the anchor that sunk the roosters to the bottom end of the table (plus a few notable forward losses). We need to build on the loss of Galvin, not plug a hole for 18 months whilst we continue to be one of the...

The personality is just as important as skills and ability. Matterson and Moses should never be brought back.

There is a good chance that Todd may not see out the first two months of 2025 let alone 2026.

That in turn will take a lot of pressure off Ponga

I have my own theory on Stefano, and that is that he couldnt rise to the occasion when challenged by other forward packs. If we had the asendency and were getting on top, he would have a power house game, but as soon as a Campbell Gillard or Hargreaves or even lesser known props stood up to him...

I would almost guarantee that he will play First Grade next season, as soon as he is old enough. We played Ben MM on debut in a semi final as part of his signing terms and I have no doubt that the same will have happened with Mak.

For some reason this post reminds me of a line out of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory: "I bet the golden ticket makes the chocolate taste terrible".

Its not about needing its about prioritising. We need to keep Makasini and Large and to do that we need a clear pathway through the grades. We have had some top talent come through the last couple of years and we had to make a choice on who we cut loose from a great crop of kids.

But we bought Skelton.... and Junior is replaceable. He has the laid back attitude of Bulla but without the natural talent.

I noticed a report earlier this morning that Tom Opacic was not resigning with his UK club. Could he be a chance of coming back here? Was always a solid defender and capable centre. Not sure of his age, and he might be resigning with another Super League club, but I thought the timing was...

He is a Reserve grade player and that is where he should stay. It is criminal that he takes up a spot in the top 30. Plenty of other outside backs sitting there with him however.

The original post was about size, not experience

Like Liam Martin too small???

Agreed, he let 4 tries in the other night and bombed one himself...no more Reserve grade players in the starting squad.

I don't really understand all this negativity. We currently have Ice, Bateman and Stefano and we are coming last. Paying the players that can't get us off the bottom of the ladder $800K doesn't really fill me with excitement, and I am one who really liked Stef before he decided not to try. I saw...

We carry too many Reserve grade players in First Grade. Simple as that. We dont develop our juniors to a standard whereby they can walk into grade and progress to top notch First Graders, especially when it comes to forwards. I am happy to give examples: Porter Eisenhuth Garner Simpkins Brown...

I dont for a second believe that Steph has a fondness for Parra and wants to return. They treated his brother like crap and only gave him 5 minutes in his debut. Also, what does it matter which coach is chosen? None of the applicants are impressive enough to draw Steph toward their club. The...

Thats because our best flegg eligible players are playing in NSW Cup or First Grade. We are looking to move our strongest juniors through as quickly as we can and whilst that weakens our squad in the short term, it will have benefits over the longer period.
