*should be money wise. Ive got a bad feeling he will be on a fair bit more...

Probably our strongest possible team bar cummins too

Bit of a perfect storm IMO. The new ball is moving a lot more than it has previously thanks to changes in the Kookaburra and pitches, combine that with less opportunity for long form cricket and changes in technique. I think top order batting has never been more difficult. This is a really...

Possibly, think he might surprise a few this year. Didn't exactly look out of place when he got a gig. Big off season in the gym putting on some size and who knows. I think both have very high ceilings and are potential rep players.

So lets hypothetically say 2028 he is ready. The question then becomes who provided more this year and who will provide more next year between Api and TDS, and then who will be the better footballer in the long run between TDS and Hayward. I'm not ready to stick the boot into the club on the...

He is immensely talented and another club would 100% come in for him because his pathway was blocked. Bit like what happened with Tallan at a similar age really...

Would you have been happy to keep TDS if it meant losing Jarrad Haywood?

Such an oversimplification. Alex Johnstone must be the greatest winger of all time then? Must have missed TDS being in the conversation for origin this year.

Reckon there's been a directive from CA for some more batter friendly conditions for the summer? small sample but some big scores in the one day cup so far...

Not the star studded blues lineups of old filled with future internationals! Good win though. Weibgen looks a talent

Im considering a boycott of the GF. It just isn't worth watching now I can't watch Tones and I live.

Yeah if that's where they seem him they need to go all in. Think we need a bit more insurance there beyond Madden though. If we get 6 weeks into next season and Doueihi is back there I will pack it in. My recruitment wishlist is a a prop, centre/wing and a halfback in that order.

We were trotting out 5 or 6 reserve grade quality players for a few weeks in key positions. Then Luai happened. Then Doueihi happened. Our season just seemed to snowball. In saying that, they are part of the story but not the whole story and they should not be used as an excuse. Our attack...

Good pod lads. Thanks for the therapy this year

Great read Jolls. You've presented a bull case for halves depth but scratch underneath the surface I think we need another halfback. Results showed last year that we play better with a game managing half. We should be backing in Latu, but we know his injury history and his actual game...

Too many ifs and buts in those players you listed Lestronge. It's the same mistake we have been making for years. We need proven and consistent first graders as insurance.

The longer we can give guys like CTM, Duncombe, Godinet to develop in cup rather than prematurely throwing them in first grade the better, but that will require a little bit more recruitment. Even Andrews and Makasini who are a little further along need to be protected. The Brailey signing is a...

I've heard his body is cooked and if anything he will retire.

My thoughts looking at that: Fullback depth looks ok with Averillo able to cover Bula if he goes down. Attard still a fair way off. Would love another centre/winger who could squeeze into the position 18/19 on match day. Seasoned pro, hard and defensively solid. Halves look ok. Could do with...

Ponga and Teddy are generational, but Edwards and Hammer were far from finished products after 70 odd first grade games which is what Bula has played. The remaining teams also have better halves, better packs and better outside backs than us too, so there's that...
