    Round 1 Vs The Roosters

    That’s only likely because Manly had a similar or better quality Hooker coming off the bench who commanded time as well. It doesn’t mean Api doesn’t have the motor to play 80 imo.

    Round 1 Vs The Roosters

    Yep people are making this way more complicated then what it probably is. I think Api will play 80. Cleary likely just wants to cover the outside backs & picked the next in line. He obviously thinks the pack has the fitness to allow a back on the bench, much like when Hook hardly used/needed his...

    Former Panthers in the NRL

    King Katoa carrying an injury you numb nuts. Will be starting Hooker & captain after he gets a couple of games under his belt.

    Round 1 Vs The Roosters

    Maybe he just wants a reserve back, as opposed to a reserve half/hooker? Kinda the in thing atm to carry an outside back on the bench.

    Tbh I thought it was pretty funny.

    2020 season

    Dropping Luai for Burton from Rnd 1 would be typical of us as a club imo. It’s always out with the old & in with the brand new shiny junior / younger player ASAP. The kids played 1 first grade game, granted he had a cracker. Make Burton earn his shot. If he’s banging the door down after the...

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    Tbh I think people underrate Edwards on here. It's like the first 6 weeks of last year has overridden everything positive he has done. The back half of last year he was fantastic & improving each game. The current obsession with having a ball playing fullback will fade.

    Bega Trial vs the Eels

    If you've got Luai at 6, not sure you need a ball player at the back - a hole runner ala DWZ would be more effective (IMO) given the space Luai can create through uncertainty in the defensive line. Deadset Burton definitely is the brand new shiny toy / Moylan on here.

    Bega Trial vs the Eels

    I've got no issue with signing Api, I mentioned signing Api very early on. Egan has just been named 9 in what looks like a full strength side. @betcats we came out of the gate like a busted. We looked unfit across the board & uncoordinated in attack, which (imo) is down to the coaching staff...

    Bega Trial vs the Eels

    How do you come to that conclusion? He's the starting hooker in a team where he will likely be able to use his running game a lot more & without the added pressure of being at this club. It's a great move for the kid. IMO Ivan needed to push the blame onto someone for such a poor season. He...

    Trial V Tigers

    I know I’m in the minority but I’d still do away with First grade trials altogether. In a 25 Rnd competition you’re going to end up where you’re going to end up regardless of a couple of trials. I’d be using the first month to experiment If need be but I reckon most coaches know their Rnd 1...

    Trial V Tigers

    Maybe that should've been addressed when we had money to spend & instead bought two forwards?? Aekins deserves his crack. He's been far from poor when he's been given the opportunity in 1st grade. Over 300m in your first game (or any game) is not a common feat.

    Not what I would do, but fair enough little to lose.

    2020 season

    Has Burton ever played 1 though? Not the easiest transition to make I'd imagine. At least Luai has had experience in that position.

    Trial V Tigers

    I think Hollis is with Panthers isn't he? Trained the whole off-season with first grade.

    2020 season

    I wouldn't be dropping Sauce. He was average last year, as was our entire side. He deserves first crack at a wing spot. No one else has done anything to demand it as yet.

    2020 season

    I reckon Aekins has been pretty good when given a shot. Can't see any reason why it wouldn't be a straight swap. If not him then Luai for me. Gets Burton in 6 & gives us another ball playing option.

    What happened to Ben Harden? I saw he's not coaching JF anymore.
