A bench spot could see him be more effective, finding his replacement to start is the problem.

😁 that’s exactly what I was thinking when I realised she was the ref. Told my wife we are no chance to win this, we sacked her husband !

I don’t think you can say our lack of depth is highlighted until we lose games because of those positions replaced. Galvin wasn’t in most peoples reckoning before round 1.

I’m leaning towards dropping Tupou. He’s good for one, maybe two bullocking runs per game and then it’s all heart in mouth stuff. Loose carries, will he play the ball correctly, will he catch the high ball (if he attempts it !) and I swear Stefano is faster than him in the clear. I have no...

I think we have our own Jared Warea Hargreaves in Samuela (at last !). He’ll learn to harness his aggression as he matures.

I thought Api was our best player last year and should have been awarded the Holman/Barnes ahead of Jahream.

Extremely happy with Sezers defensive work. His experience really shows.

I was at that game with my brother and remember saying to him not to crow just yet even though we were up 31-8. I had a theory which never let me down in those days that a team could defend a converted try every 5 minutes. They needed 4 converted tries to beat us, so we had to keep them out...

Hey KR, this week’s results remind me of that famous quote from Gennaro Gattuso 🤣

Listening to Bellamy speaking afterwards how it was no fluke and Coates practices that constantly after training. I’d be happy if our wingers would just practice marking up on their opposite number and tackling them ! 🤬

That’s the team I’d pick, not necessarily the one I think will be picked. I agree Charlie and Starford will probably get the nod and Seyfarth will most likely be in there somewhere as well.

Brooksy basically did what we knew he could do. Some great defensive stops, a good running try along with a pass over the sideline and a grubber into the opposition legs.

Usually excited for the start of the season, and this Las Vegas venture should really set it off with a bang (even if the sceptics don’t have a clue what they’re watching). I don’t know, maybe it was that lacklustre performance against the fellow wooden spoon contenders as a preview to our...

Ruminating for three weeks on our last performance is disheartening, but let’s face it, a one point win over the Raiders and people will have us back in the 8 😁.

Up until 2005, the ‘77 Amco Cup win was my football fandom highlight ! Sweating on Fairfax missing, what was really, a fairly easy conversion. 🥴

What a wonderful player Ben Hunt is. Even at his age (and after making it obvious he didn’t want to be there) a true professional who competes like a terrier on every play. Outmuscled Sezer when he shouldn’t have been given the chance and (even though from a knock on) creates a second try from...

Good to see Chris Faagutu at lock.

💯 The amount of pearl clutching over ostensibly a reserve grade trial is OTT. Still, I like reading threads like these early on in the season. It helps me add to my ignore list so I don’t have to wade through pages of inane comments later.

Actually preferred Homicide its rival. The old man didn’t appreciate me and my brother slamming the doors in sync to the show’s opening credits 😄
