    Mooney has been linked to the Knights. They are loosing two key forwards so it makes sense. Also lifestyle adjustment from Canberra to Newcastle is an easy change to make. Although I would be looking at a club with a brighter short term future than the Knights if I was Mooney

    The sample size of AD playing no7 and being a dominant organising half is way too small to be writing other contenders like Latu off. On last weeks effort AD gets the job, but let’s see how he goes over the next month or so

    Managing the salary cap

    The hardest thing in putting a roster together is finding experienced depth players who are happy to play reserve grade most weeks but are good enough to do a job in the top grade if and when required. I remember in the old days before the cap when you had the three grades, 1st, 2nd and 3rd...

    LIVE GAME Rd 23 chat 'spoilers'

    I think this years comp has a 2005 feel about. Some of the more fancied teams are hitting the wall and injuries are starting to impact. I could see a team like the Dolphins coming from nowhere. Or maybe Penrith are going to time their run to perfection. There is no team you would confidently tip...

    You would think AD would be a target for r360 and attract a lot more money than we are offering.

    It’s not only about his contract value but it’s about available roster spots. We are getting very tight on available spots for 2026. We still have to lock May in for beyond this year so presumably another roster spot will be taken.

    The one year contract is probably a mutual thing. With Perth needing to fill a roster it gives Geyer a chance to maybe showcase his talents and get something bigger than a minimum contract. Didn’t Geyer senior play for the Western Reds??

    AD offers you leadership, goal kicker and plenty of club spirit, but we have to spread our cap over the whole roster and prioritise positions that need the most attention. What AD is worth is not the question you should be asking, the question is what can the club afford to pay him. Personally...

    Sad thing about the referring its the experienced ones who are the worst. Klien and Sutton are terrible. You would think after all the years they have been blowing the whistle they would have some feel for the game. As for the bunker, Iam undecided, I would be scared to have someone like Sutton...

    Race to escape the Bottom 4

    Love the optimism but seriously how many times have we backed up one good performance and when is the last time we went on a serious roll. Loved the win over the Dogs but I have been bitten to often to get excited. I realistically I think we have two wins left in the tank and that is no...

    AD’s first 30 minutes was close to the most individual dominant performance we have had for a long time. Maybe one of API’s master class games would beat it. He certainly is adding value to his next contract and demand

    The body language of a couple of players when they shook hands with Galvin after the whistle was very cold and quick. A few others seemed to be very chatty, notably Bulla.

    The Dragons were buying time when they signed all their old experience players as they have a heap of young player’s almost ready to fill their boots. Not saying they are on the cusp of being a great side, but they are building in the right direction. Flano might have plenty of critics but...

    The trees are starting to shake let’s hope we can out leap the other people trying to catch the falling fruit. Also let’s hope we get some prior info on any future shaking trees, you don’t want to fill your basket on the first windy day

    There were a few whispers going on at the time that Koroibete was let go for some off field problem. Will not say what they were as they could be all fabricated. Anyway both him and the Fox would have been great wingers for us for a long time, but you could write a book on the quality we have...

    Our model of building a junior pathways system to supply the majority of our playing needs is doomed to fail without having the financial investment other clubs are pumping into their pathways systems. Kids are getting scouted younger and younger, with clubs like the Dogs snapping up every kid...

    Dogs defensive line speed is super quick, one could say it is to quick to be legal, on the other hand ours is the slowest in the comp by some distance. So we are giving away yardage in every defensive set and we are losing yardage in every attacking set. Seriously, although we have selected...
