    Does our club need a new deodorant?

    As a club, we are unable to attract marquee players. I suspect the reasons behind this predicament include but is not limited to: 1. our inability to arrange TPA’s 2. our inability or unwillingness to explore grey area as regards player payments commonly referred to as “the sombrero” 3. The...

    Connor Mulheisen

    Mbye gone Sullivan injured Question mark over whether Liddle can play 80 minutes Connor may well finally be tested in the top grade. Ideal timing for the young fella.

    Time to restructure the JV

    Ladies and Gentlemen It is abundantly clear that the club is on the road to nowhere under the current administration structure. The options available are: 1. An independent professional organisation buy out both sides; 2. One side buys out the other; 3. The current parties agree to amend...

    Ryan Coachman in the top 30 from 2024

    Great to see the Coachman brother sign till 2025. What really excited me is that Ryan’s contract stipulates he will be in our top squad next year. In the second half of this season we may have two Coachman’s vying for a spot in our 17. I was very impressed at the speed, accuracy and...

    Mbye now considered a Hooker

    Based on the pre-game Hook interview, it looks like Moses trained as a Hooker and will be utilised as a hooker this season. He seems to me to be a backup at best. Lacks real zip around the dummy half area but reasonably solid. Moses may be the best backup option for Liddle and the bridge in...

    NRL.com and marketing out club

    Looked at the website today. first picture I saw shows the players in the all red rag don’t know whether it is deliberate or not but the Club is synonymous with the big red V. I understand the NRL wants to portray our club as being new since the time of the JV If both sides of the JV are to...

    Craig Young and personal reference for Finch

    Very disappointed to see Craig provided a personal reference on his employers letterhead. Another muppet using the club as his personal fiefdom. By all means provide a family friend with a reference if you wish. Don’t embroil the club in your personal matters.

    Dear Ben, time to sign the contract

    1st of November is only 4 weeks away. I understand that your career is nearing its end. You need to maximise your income stream before you stop playing. As you can appreciate your employer needs certainty. If the media can be believed you have received an upgraded offer. Take it and mentor...

    Sullivan to half Amone to 5/8 Sloan to Fullback

    To date I think Hook has refrained from throwing in Sullivan/Amone and Sloan together because: 1. Our forwards have been dominated in virtually every game this year, barring the Parra and Newcastle game 2. The juniors are still transitioning to playing against men. 3. They would be better...

    Some referees wear red white and blue glasses

    Watching Roosters v Dogs. Disappointing to see the 6 again rule used so inconsistently. Roosters being given repeat sets leading to points. Yet they are serial offenders tonight slowing down the play the ball. Don’t like the Dogs and their supporters but these refereeing performances are...

    Damned if you do and damned if you don’t

    After another woeful performance from the side I had hoped that Hook would wield the axe. The problem is the juniors aren’t physically and mentally ready. Matt Dufty is as we all know rocks and diamonds. Yesterday was probably his worst performance for the club after playing very well the week...

    Managing Expectations

    After compiling a win streak of 4 in a row, we fell to a big Warriors pack that made very few mistakes. Our team was flat both physically and emotionally after two heavyweight physical encounters with Newcastle and Parra. The team is a work in progress and needs our support. So far they have...

    Board Split

    Lara Pitt reports WIN and St George board members are at loggerheads. WIN apparently don’t want Doust on the board. St George Board would split now if they could. What a mess. How do we recruit a quality coach with these muppets carrying on. It’s time for one side to buy the other. In...

    Leilua wants to improve his defence

    Luc left to improve his defence. "As a team and as a club we want to build that new culture as a defensive team because we've got a lot of attacking players, but it's a good thing that we're all focusing on defence. "That's one of the reasons I wanted to come here, because I knew Madge focuses...

    McInnes injured where to from here

    With Cam seemingly out for a while the question is who plays 9. In order of best to worst option: Ben Hunt Lovodua Luke Hayden Lomax if Hunt plays 9, Norman to play 7 Sailor 6 when Cam comes back he becomes our JDB clone. I would like to see Lovodua trialled at 9. He has ball playing...

    2020 Squad Analysis

    Fullback: Dufty,Lomax,Sailor, Norman None of the contenders inspire great confidence in this position. Dufty and Sailor are gifted players but physically too small. Norman is too slow and inconsistent.. Lomax lacks speed off the mark but is reasonably fast over 100 metres. Verdict: We need a...

    Junior pathways or the road to nowhere

    As a club, our top juniors frequently represent NSW & QLD. Yet when it comes to transitioning to NRL, the Club has generally failed to get our juniors to first-grade level. Is it poor selection on the part of Millward? For instance, Dufty, Field, and Sailor are relatively small, fast...

    Season Review

    JDB incident leads to no JDB. Graham puts in 110% but is no longer as effective as he was earlier in his career. Tariq Sims is either injured or no longer wants to play for the club/Mary. Sub standard three quarter line. Under sized inconsistent full back. Tremendous attacking talent, better...

    How is Browny going now?

    Nathan Brown, much maligned for being unable to deliver Saints a premiership many years ago seems to have improved the Newcastle roster to the point where the cellar dwellers are now in the top 4. Does he have a better squad than Saints? I would argue that overall, the answer is no. Sure he...

    Second Phase Ball or Car 54 where are you?

    I know it’s early in the season, but I would like to see some second phase ball from our forwards rather than one out stuff for 80 minutes. We don’t need to do it every set, but we need to work toward using Dufty running off Vaughan, Tariq Sims and Co. The more unpredictable we are, the better...
