Three things I never thought I would see or hear: 1) An NRL player trot out of the defensive line while defending the try line…… to pick up his mouthguard. 2) An NRL player tell a coach he would rather play reserve grade in a position he prefers than play first grade in one he doesn’t like. 3)...

We all have our opinions about assistants or not, but this genuinely intrigues me. If it's not because of Benji, who allegedly has shaped the roster since Sheens started his second stint, picks his coaching staff and is neck deep in recruitment, then who would be responsible? I like that Benji...

Fair enough. I personally don’t really have an issue with Luai. He could have been better for sure and I think he would say the same. Have the standards and culture shifted? Hard to know with a rookie coaching team. I think he’s tried to deliver and I will always love his team first support of...

I’m not sure either. I will say though, if we payed 300k to terminate, it’s no different to paying 300k for him to play somewhere else. They both come off the cap.

Riff for me. It’s my community. Liked them before Ivan did what he did. Then hated them, but your hard to please if you can’t appreciate what they have done and continue to do. I’m actually looking forward to Penrith Park opening again and seeing all the locals on the hill having a beer.

No, but when you are coming last in the comp on both sides of the field for tries conceded since rd 9 or whatever it was then something has to change. Im not sure where the red zone attack rates, but i don't think it would be too much higher? Maybe the assistants are great and Benji doesn't want...

The sad part of all that is the going through the motions part was evident against the Dragons when the season really was on the line. They were completely out enthused and off the pace. How can you go through all that pre-season torture and give up so meekly when it really counted? Obviously...

At least one game a year where you get 60+ scoreline against you, solid chance to fight for the spoon and an almost guaranteed annual controversey that just cosolidates this clubs reputation as trash. Whats not appealing about that?

Needs to get new assistants. Guys that will actually challenge his thoughts and tactics (or lack thereof). Does he need more money from HBG to actually get some quality around him? Or is it just his trust issues that make him keep giving jobs to his friends. Where have the offloads gone? Where...

I also noticed when asked about the Luai situation, he said they will talk about it when something is done. Said that it hadn't come from the club. (being released publicly)

Maybe Dylans coach might have more of an idea than Luai's

Is that how it works? I thought it was more we will chip in 300k, which Luai has agreed to, so it gives him a negotiating figure i.e he needs to get 900k to make his 1.2 million. It also means if he can't get that he can stay and get his full amount.

I dig the humour, but having seen RHS in the flesh, I wouldn't think he is anymore a chance of any day being his last than someone that is 40.

2 minutes. Thats all it was. The difference between going to QLD 2-0 down and going there for a decider. The Ponga send off kept the Blues alive.

People get blinded by hatred. Early in that game last night NSW were struggling to make yardage, Moses kicks were the thing that gave the Blues better field position (obviously with a good chase) and allowed pressure resulting in mistakes and subsequently trys. I'm not speaking for the rest of...

One team has their season on the line and needs to win, the other just looks like they WANT to win.

I’m not sure he has set the world on fire since he’s been back and given he was left stranded in Game 2 if Brailey was fit he was always going to be picked ahead

He’ll be poorer

Music to my ears. Samuela is the one ive been sweating on.

Yep thats my memory too. Somewhere in the vicinity of 500k per year.
