    Match Discussion: Round 5 vs St Geo Illa @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

    Must win game for us. Saints by 30.

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Turuva is a good metre eater but he’s not much of a finisher and we already have a problem with teams with bigger wingers targeting our smaller wingers in the air, and Turuva is definitely on the smaller side. We really do need someone with a bigger body, obviously Dom was that guy for us and...

    Match Discussion: Round 4 vs Warriors @ Go Media Stadium, Penrose / Aotearoa

    I don’t think we’re at panic stations yet. We’re 1-3 which is where I thought we’d be at after the first 4 rounds when the draw was released tbh. The only difference is I thought we’d beat Canberra and lose to Melbourne but the overall result is the same. To put it in perspective, we’ve had...

    Match Discussion: Round 4 vs Warriors @ Go Media Stadium, Penrose / Aotearoa

    The main thing is we need to see an improved performance. A win would be golden but I’d take a close loss that gives us some confidence as an alternative.

    Match Discussion: Round 4 vs Warriors @ Go Media Stadium, Penrose / Aotearoa

    The only reason I can see why Jones is on the bench is because they see him as a middle option due to Leo being out and DSaf being in the starting side. But it’s definitely concerning that Jones is literally first cab off the rank when literally one of our front rowers isn’t available…

    So what happened to Marzhew? Dropped or injured?

    Hard disagree with this. We definitely had a crack but we lacked composure in the key moments.

    Sack Adam O'Brien

    To be fair what is said to the media and what is said in the dressing room & behind closed doors is different. Coaches usually don’t bake their players in a press conference, it’s not a good practice if you want your players to trust in you. TBF being disappointed in certain elements of the...

    Match Discussion: Round 2 vs North Qld @ Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville / Wulgurukaba

    Yes you’re right. But it’s still a god-awful record and I feel like I get intense anxiety whenever we’re in a GP situation.

    Match Discussion: Round 2 vs North Qld @ Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville / Wulgurukaba

    Here’s the summary… Cowboys were utterly shit in the first half… a regular standard NRL team would have put 20 on them. A good team would have put 30 on them, a premiership contender would have put 40 on them… we however were only up 12-0 at half time. Cowboys then started the second half...

    The only GP game I can legit remember us winning was that 2004 game against the Broncos where Kurt Gidley kicked that bludger of a FG. Aside from that… have we ever won a GP game since then???

    Calling it early… we won’t win a game this year. Wooden spoon #5 coming right up!

    Match Discussion: Round 2 vs North Qld @ Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville / Wulgurukaba

    Where to start on this game… I hate golden point. Absolutely hate it. We never win these ones, we must have the worst golden point record of any team in the 20+ years since it was brought into the game. We just consistently seem to give the other team chances to ice the game. The thing that...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Yeah I think 1 year with another 1 year in the club’s favour would be fair. He’ll need to take a little less you’d think but I can’t imagine he’ll be fielding heaps of offers from elsewhere given he’s wanting to settle in Newcastle with his family. I would maybe be ok with 2 years + 1 year...

    That Storm v Panthers game was something else. The intensity was absolutely next level. One of the most entertaining games I’ve watched in a long time.

    Sack Adam O'Brien

    It failed in this game but we had no field position in the second half. It’s obviously something they have been trying out during the preseason so I don’t think they will abolish the idea after one bad game. Personally I’d prefer Crossland to just play 80 mins at hooker while Brailey is injured...

    Match Discussion: Round 1 vs Canberra @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

    One thing that we really didn’t do much last night was short passing around the ruck. I feel like one of the reasons we were successful last year was when our forwards (Elliott being a good example) and Crossland from dummy half were throwing short passes to other forwards and keeping teams...

    Match Discussion: Round 1 vs Canberra @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

    We have been so bad tonight. Just no patience or footy smarts at all. This needs to be a wake up call that 2023 is well and truly over and 2024 has begun. We can’t just act like we’re going to turn up and thrash teams like we did in that streak last year. The Raiders just strangled us out of the...

    Match Discussion: Round 1 vs Canberra @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

    I’d be more worried about us being complacent in this game if we’d smashed them last time around. However given how close that was to a boil-over I think we’ll take them seriously and be massively up for this game. Raiders have plenty of heart but we’ll be playing at home in front of a bumper...
