Huge turning point. Gone are the days are passing it to someone in a better position. No excuse for this one and it was so obvious. Pity because I think he is a player with great potential - hope he learns from it.

Yes - went well I thought and actually passed it. He tends to go himself when playing centre and then crabs on the outside usually which will generally work when he’s quicker than the opposing player. Kicking game needs work. We still really don’t know how to play an expansive game at all. The...

Very controversial - Hopoate in the short kick off but the ball appears to go backwards. Unlucky to be honest. Mind you, apparently we are a team of nobodies & we’re going to lose by 20+ and get whipped in the 2nd half when we were in front. I’m all for calling out bad games but seriously...

Our winger makes a break down the LHS with 2 minutes to go. We have a couple of tackles and then kick the field goal. They kick off and we drop it. They win the scrum & kick the field goal to draw.

You might be correct - surely there are a few who want to put their hand up if they have a chance to be selected. I’d give the young guys a go at least.

I think the 3 needs to learn to draw and pass like most of them - I feel a bit sorry for Ogden as he is most unlikely to see any ball except from coming out of the 22 and so I will give him the benefit of the doubt. This has been happening all season - if you are a winger, good finisher and want...

Pretty sure he has been signed - apparently turned up to play yesterday at TG Milner but was not allowed.

My understanding is Sione Hopoate was due to play Ron Massey Cup for Ryde Eastwood v Bulldogs yesterday but had not been given clearance from the ARU. Any intel on his ability?

After Saturday, if a change was made in NRL, I would favour maybe Reilly for centre. Sakura got plenty of ball, but that was a combination of Daine hitting the line up the left edge, creating the overlap, passing it to Reilly and then onto Sakura. Not sure whether Pellow was half and swapped...

I watched the game. Sakura had a great game on the wing. His replacement was ok. Reilly’s defence was solid. Daine very good in attack up the left side and created the extra man for Sakaru and Reilly time and time again. Nothing created for the right edge until Pellow came on - he is very good...

Api has been easily the best player on the park. Twal hitting it up - Brooks going well. The referee not helping with some ridiculous calls especially the penalty that was successfully challenged. Dare to believe!

22-0.

I’m getting updates from a relative but we just scored again. Playing expansive football this week. 18-0.

12-0 Magpies. Pouring.

I don’t think you really analysed the game or understand backline plays when making your sweeping statement that our players are average. Maybe you don’t like stats. Hard to have an impact when neither player is passed the ball and just doing hit ups. In fact, Scolari was third in post contact...

Rant warning! Well I’m sorry @balmain boy but some of you guys need horsewhipping even though I respect your views mostly. Not sure what game you blokes are watching. REAL STATS: Nofoaluma (winger) 132 ARM.66% tackle efficiency. He did his best given the circumstances which was pleasing to...

People on here are entitled to their opinion. Kade goes alright like most young players trying to find their way. Reality is that some kick on and some don’t. Too early to say imo - he’s only 21 - has ability.

Yes - I wish the young bloke all the best!

Agree @Wiz with this assessment. I think after a few games in KOE the club will know, one way or the other. He's not Top 30 and played one game at the end of 2019 with NSW Cup almost 4 years ago. How does that song go? "It's now, or never.." Knowing from people how he approaches training and...
