    Trindall fails roadside alcohol and drug tests

    Tricky's (allegedly) been a very silly boy no doubt - so disappointing after he worked so long to become a starting half. I think talk of sacking is way over the top, the legal process will play out, and the NRL will likely impose a medium sanction if the allegations / test results are proven in...

    Game Day vs Rabbit Stew

    I've seen 2 disruptors this year, both against us !! But about 20 worse baulking efforts by other teams. This rule is a joke, there is no way they can make an objective decision. Plus as others have said, Klein is killing us with 6 agains, we haven't got a single one yet.

    Absolutely - brilliant work from all involved - very professional & all behind closed doors. What an amazing get !!

    Very ordinary second rower, makes some shocking reads in defence on the edges.

    Left of centre.

    Good question Frenzy. I looked up what the Tigers paid for John Bateman (allegedly $250k) - and according to this SMH article, transfer fees are not included in the cap: https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/bateman-inks-lengthy-tigers-deal-as-english-club-airs-frustrations-20221226-p5c8u8.html

    Left of centre.

    I agree CB4, whenever I've watched any Jets games, Iro's defence has been terrible. If he hasn't got his defensive game together by now, you have to wonder if he ever will. What about the UK - any good centre options there ? Jake Wardell ? Harry Newman ? Mark Percival ? I've only seen the odd...

    NOT THE GAME DAY THREAD - Finals week 1 vs Roosters

    Article on Nicho in the SMH today: https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/the-mind-games-of-nicho-hynes-20230907-p5e2nf.html I wish Nicho's mind coach would tell him to kick long to the corners - those pop gun kicks from the blind side are driving me mad !!

    Does Kayo work if you connect to a VPN server in Australia ?

    This guy has looked an outstanding prospect in his first couple of games, and is only a development contract. His path will be blocked at NQld by Nanai & Luki. Get onto it Moons ...

    In Fitzy We Trust

    It's not just about the flogging last week ... it's been obvious since the Souths semi last year that our plan A goes to pieces against the top sides, starting with getting overpowered in the middle. Doing the same thing over & over and getting reamed by the top sides is wearing very thin now...

    Game day vs Bronco

    Yep with the current team we are not a true top 4 team, we are 6 or 7 at best. It was a sad indictment that it took Will to get a successful kick into the in goal in the last few minutes - that's on our halves. Dale and Wade are completely cooked. Both wingers were terrible last night. Katoa...

    Time To Pull The Trigger

    I agree DJDL, time for Fitzy to pull the trigger. It's time for Fitz to start making the tough decisions (eg Slater and Gagai for Origin). Moylan is not our only problem, but his style of play doesn't work against the best defences. Time to give Trindall a go - having a better kicking option...

    ORIGIN 2023

    Cleary & Tedesco were terrible, considering the amount of ball we had. Teddy is already a yard off the pace at club level this year, and hogging it more than ever to compensate. So no surprise it got even more exposed at Origin level, he was a handbrake on our attack. Sure he puts in a lot of...

    Me too - releasing Connor now would be a ridiculous decision. If injuries hit in the backline, who do we go to ? Stonestreet & Iro show promise in attack, but their defence is not NRL ready. Do we want Hiroti lining up in a finals game ? Really ? Trindall doesn't cover injuries to outside...

    Game Day - Kurranulla vs. Knights

    Sorry to say, but Finucane is not in our best 17 any more. His deterioration this year is alarming, he is off the pace - he looks cooked. The sad thing is I'm relieved when he goes off the field now. Can we tolerate 2 more years of diminishing returns from Dale ?

    5 week blocks

    The McInnes lock experiment has to end. For me he either starts at hooker for 25 mins, or he's not in the 17. This will let Brailey come on fresh & hopefully show the creativity he used to have - he's not an 80 minute player yet. We've all seen us getting rolled through the middle with our...

    Suggested Team Vs. Dragons

    Exactly spot on - when we are getting rolled in the middle, everything else follows. Me neither - I hate it. And I see we have just named 2 small bodies on the bench this week - madness Fitzy !

    Suggested Team Vs. Dragons

    Yep having Brailey & McInnes defending in the middle at the same time is killing us. Brailey gets too gassed playing 80 mins trying to plug holes when our middles are too small. I've got no idea why Fitz persists with playing Brailey for 80, he's not up to it at this stage of his career. Like...

    Tuivasa-Sheck apparently a possibility to return to league in 2024: https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/nrl-2022-transfer-whispers-roger-tuivasasheck-dolphins-warriors-contracts-player-movement/news-story/67721311d8e7f5526d286a6b56f3fbf0 Now that's something we should be all over -...

    Rumoured / Confirmed Signings

    If we don't re-sign Ramien, we aren't dreaming ;) I reckon Hammer would make a great centre with X-factor .... potentially for less money than Ramien. Sure he'll probably say he wants to play fullback - but as long as he's a regular starter and gets the money he wants, I'm sure he'll come...
