    Jack bird??

    Still only 25 so that’s hardly over the hill. Also, his injuries have been a variety of things, not a chronic or problem area necessarily. If the Broncos carried some of his salary he could prove to be a good signing. Flanagan took him to a premiership so there’s a proven track record there...

    Jack bird??

    Would be worth a punt if Clear of injury and if the Broncos picked up a fair bit of his salary.

    Pangai Jr

    Yes, easy for Robinson to come out with the type of comment he has. It’s for the cameras obviously. Had they already not stockpiled so much talent, including SBW, I’m sure he’d be dancing another tune if it suited him and his club. It’s really hard to watch the billows of smoke being blown up...

    One to watch: Jason Saab

    First game in more than a year. Rules have moved on and the pace has increased. Has come in cold without any game time. There's quite a few players across the code struggling to keep up, not just rookies. Apparently he added many kegs this off season, this would also be a factor. It was a stone...

    Ravawala

    Said it before. Ravalawa has the potential to be a gun centre. Wind him up and watch him run at full speed when hitting the ball. But he must catch it first. He takes a power of stopping and can find the line. Not only that, he's shown a fondness to jam in and monster blokes and that's a quality...

    Luciano Leilua

    Going fine. Getting games under his belt in a forward pack with more depth than Saints', in a team inside the 8. How many consecutive games had he played for Saints? Think the Tigers will reap the benefits later in the season when his match fitness is up.

    Round 7 v Roosters

    It was 'having a dig' but that's all it was and that should be a given anyway. Full marks to Dufty for his two nice passes. The bloke has major deficiencies in his game but you cannot argue with his talent or footy smarts. ATM he's the only player capable of creating a line break. The way he's...

    Leadership ...

    In a perfect world change would start with the board. The incompetence shown in keeping a coach for seven or eight years on the back of such consistently poor results should be terminal, along with the hiring of a patsy CEO. But the board will never fall on their swords. Executives are like...

    Media Delusion

    Hooper makes many good points and obviously has the ear of a few younger players. Might get shouted down here but as much as we are decrying the ability of the backs to score points and the halves to generate wins, the forwards are just as culpable. There was effort against the Dogs to be sure...

    More Dragons drama as Tristan Sailor looks for exit

    It's just a mystifying set of circumstances. Nobody doubts Pereira is whole-hearted. But having ticker doesn't make you a top-liner, it makes you a goer. Did Mary not see the try he crucified after getting the ball 10m out with the line open? He received kudos for almost scoring while being...

    Fans see nothing but red ...

    Please forgive if this has been addressed in a previous thread that I might have missed ... What's with this year's alternative strip? All red. No hint of a motif, stripe or pattern of any kind. Don't get me wrong, a solid monotone strip can be powerful. All Blacks, England and Wales in RU...

    The damage done

    Board to supporters: ‘we know results have been unacceptable ... but we will continue to accept it’.

    Round 5 v Sharks

    No unforced changes to yesterday’s team on top of three last week is far from the shake-up required. Three immediate changes that would improve our attack: 1. Bring in Sailor and Saab on the wings, shift Ravalawa to centre. Ravalawa is worth a try in the centres. He runs hard, is quick, can...

    The damage done

    Hooper hit the nail on the head on 360 ... The coach is too soft on senior players and lacks faith in the youngsters. His position has become untenable through sheer weight of poor results and lack of answers. That doesn't necessarily mean the club will make this change now and even if it does...

    Zac Lomax

    That’s precisely the attitude that enabled Garrick to slip away only to become a rampant point scorer. Sailor 3 games, Ford 5, Kerr 7, and Lomax 18 are all NRL infants. I’d like to see a bit more of them before casting them into the non-origin class bin. They need a decent crack at first grade...

    Zac Lomax

    As far as memory serves, Garrick was rolled out for a trial (Charity Shield) in Mudgee at the start of 2018 and had a forgettable game after numerous defensive blunders. However his display was on par with any of Aitken’s showings in the past 18-24 months. To my knowledge that’s his one and only...

    Team of the Post-Bennett years ...

    In the interests of an up-beat thread, for what it’s worth, here’s my side: 1. Josh Dugan 2. Jason Nightingale 3. Brett Morris 4. Matt Cooper 5. Nene McDonald 6. Gareth Widdop 7. Ben Hornby (c) 8. Mick Weyman 9. Cameron McInnes 10. Paul Vaughan 11.Ben Creagh 12. Tyson Frizzell 13. Jack de Belin...

    Tony Gigot

    Hopefully it won’t matter who is in what position in Mary’s eyes after December. You’d like to think any worthwhile assistant wouldn’t tolerate Aitken’s tendencies to run in and come up with fresh air every time! But Gigot coming is only a rumour at this stage. There’s also talk of Dugan...

    Tony Gigot

    I’ve watched a little bit of Gigot in Super League and from what I’ve seen he’s the type of player who always puts in and is a super competitor who doesn’t stop. Plenty of Aussies have played with him at Catalans who must be in a position to know his true caliber so you can expect he has come...

    Round 25 vs Titans

    Hello all, longtime reader, first-time poster ... Have heard from a good authority that some of the boys eligible for the CC final are dirty at being selected in the first grade squad this weekend. Don’t know which players my source was referring to but you could probably take an educated guess...
