    JDB

    Always arguments for and against in these cases but JDB basically went into cryogenic preservation during those years he didn't play and imo, has been our best forward in whatever position he has been selected over the last couple of years. He appears to be ageless and my sons and I sit and...

    Selwyn Cobbo.

    Keep in mind also that this is not the first time we've had a crack at Cobbo- I remember- perhaps going back to the end of Mary's time- when Cobbo was about 19 and an emerging superstar full-back (and we were going nowhere with Dufty) we were interested but we were knocked back then as well.

    Round 17 v Eels at home

    In relation to the halves, I agree that half back is a problem for us because that is the most demanding position on the field and none of Ilias, Glover or KF have shown all of the game management skills (running, passing, kicking, direction of play etc) that a Cleary, Katoa or Moses possesses...

    Probably right- could however be exchanging a peach for a lemon.

    The Rumours Thread

    My concern about Cobbo is for two reasons- 1 Wollongong is a long way from Cherbourg- his spiritual and cultural home where he goes for support from his extended indigenous family 2. He shows strong signs of mental health issues- particularly depression. He has looked and played disinterested in...

    DRAGONS NEW CEO TIM WATSFORD

    At this early stage of his tenure, probably cliches are all we can really expect from Tim but it does sound like he might have ODd on Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon.

    Me neither- comes with over the limit baggage.

    The Rumours Thread

    Flanno is fond of saying that he is "disappointed" with how the negotiations for Latu proceeded and that he gets on with most of the player managers but not Latu's. I'm beginning to think he is delusional. All those props (Saifiti et al) we missed out on earlier in the season- are we really...

    Yeah honest and serviceable- a latter day Monty Porter.

    The Rumours Thread

    As long as no one pinches Kade Reed, I'm happy for the Roosters and Bulldogs to have their halves recruitment, retention and selection dilemmas. I'm beginning to think that Reed and LKT (particularly after his standout game against the Sharks) could be our long-term halves. Don't know where that...

    The Rumours Thread

    I recall Schiller years ago was our great white hope going back to his Year 11 days at a country High School when he was killing it and a real standout. We let him finish his schooling and he was going to be our long-term full-back. Somewhere along the way in our lower grades, flaws were...

    Dean Young Defensive coach

    The whole myth surrounding Dean Young and his defensive coaching prowess needs to be called out. I went thru the stats when he was defensive coach for the Cowboys between 2021 and 2023 and the most charitable interpretation is that there was wild inconsistency. These are the results showing...

    Dean Young Defensive coach

    Thanks DS- interesting reading and food for thought- I wonder however if tackle efficiency tells the full story of our forwards' defence - perhaps you could enlighten me whether an individual's tackle efficiency includes only attempted tackles or tackles that should have been attempted but...

    Yes- Willie Peters outcoached Sam Burgess in the Challenge Cup and imo has usurped Sam's mantle to be the next NRL coach in waiting. I hear he is widely regarded as a very smart operator. Given his past playing connection with the Dragons, wouldn't mind if he came here actually. While I am...

    Sharks game

    I made the same point re KF and LKT's inability to kick in an earlier post-Katoa from the Phins kicked us to death- bombs landing with laser precision with fast moving wingers and edge forwards arriving simultaneously- end result- Lemeuelo and Bostock scoring. Last season it was Walker and his...
