I’m wondering if AD pops up as captain.. at least co captain.. I’m not sure api’s 100% into it

All I can see for Api this season is decline as age and fatigue catches up with him. Not his fault.

I fully expect him to be injured or unavailable for a solid quarter of the season through injury and fatigue.

He’s one of my “glass stomach” players.

It’s not a mental issue, it’s physical. But I tend to agree, he’s always been a bit cool for cats for leadership. Going through the motions sometimes.

Adam would be a good choice (while he lasts).

Sorry I believe that 5th spot has been taken by the connoisseur of halves Pezz 70. Therefore now an opportunity for 5 AD fans that have had the courage to go against the grain and back him to succeed at half back where no man has succeeded before. where AD’s history would say not likely..that’s why it’s an honour some people go their whole careers without achieving. To get this right deserves the ultimate prize. Recognition as “Honourable Expert League Person” The draw is now closed. Good Luck and thank you participating

Shaun Johnson makes huge call on 2026 Dally M halfback winner

He revealed the bold prediction on his podcast.

Maybe a stretch, but he was good in the role last season.

It could happen. He does have the ability to bust the line and score tries and I assume he'll be our goal kicker as well.

The problem is he has an inconsistent game. In the recent trial he was good but he also threw bad passes and his defense can be suss.

I thought he was great last season. I hope he has a blinder this season.

Ok so I said club player of the year. Sean said AD will win it all as half back.. At least one of them is seeing what some of us are seeing. He will prob get at least 4 weeks to get his groove on. It’s as much a mental strength thing playing inside Luai with the way he carries on ..AD’s got that

I hope Shaun's right because if our halves nail it and we get our middles sorted we could go deep into September.
It's all about freeing up Luai because he has the ability to get faster players like May and To'a into space.
What other teams will be doing is making AD defend more. It looks like AD is fitter and possibly could handle this and steer the team around at the same time. 🫰
He nearly kicked a 40/20 in the trial so he's been practising that too it seems.
Gotta get behind him because he's the man we are running with.
Fingers crossed we'll have more than one Dally M award, possibly KPP and Masi? Masi is still in the running for rookie of the year because apparently those couple of great games he had last year will carry over??

All will be revealed soon enough.
AD is the man (for now) but may the best players get the gig in whatever their position is.
With depth, comes competition for spots, not something we have had here for quite a while.

It's not the be all and end all game, but I think how we go against the cows will show us a fair bit, we've always had trouble with them.

 

[Tigerm]

I still think we will get into the 8 this season, maybe go deep, but not win it this year?

If 2005 showed us anything it's that when an opportunity presents itself you have to grab it with both hands and take it all the way. You never know when another opportunity will come again.

The key to making the 8 will be going on a run of more than 3 wins in row at some stage. We have to break that hoodoo.

Agree, especially finishing them off and not the other way around.

I reckon this is true as well. We have to get on a roll. My take is you can have slumps and you can get smashed but you have to play top footy for large chunks of the season and that means getting on a roll of wins.

 

[Nutz]

I disagree, it should be 4 wins in a row.

Do I hear 5!
Hey Dom, which games could we possibly do it in?

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

Looking at the draw I reckon starting at round 15 there's a string of 5 or 6 games in a row where we'd be a very good chance of winning. It's around the middle to the end of the origin period and I'm assuming we won't have any participation in that, which will help.

We won 9 games last year, from memory, we lost a few games by 4 or less points.

While it would be nice to string a few wins together, I think if we can get 13+ wins by the end of the season we should be in the 8. Certainly not a given, but certainly doable.

What happens after that is anyone's guess.

So what your saying Tm is that we're a shoein for the J. J. Giltinan Shield.

Didn't we have him for next year?
Seems a bit premature for a guy who hasn't proved his ability as a half and has had several knee recos.
I'm seriously hoping he nails it at half, if he does we can win the comp, I rate the guy as a true competitor but why the rush.
We have backup plans in Haywood and Fainu as well a Madden.
I guess it gives us security but what if he's a flop. We have a plethora of outside backs as well.
I'm only playing the devils advovate here. AD can play half, fingers crossed he plays like a game winning half.
Go the Tigers.
We win 26-16

Good post. It'll be interesting how this plays out including how Madden, Javon and Latu fit into the team. I can't see AD moving back to the centres in this team but you never know.

4 years is a long contract with the amount of talent we have coming through in the halves.
