    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    Tetevano did a few times. Why wouldn’t the same club sign Packer?

    2021 season

    If we can wrap up the key guys in the next couple months and not have a circus about the squad being ripped up I’d be surprised if we didn’t go well. Luck with injuries can also wipe out a season from nowhere and there are plenty of players who could have second season syndrome. I struggle to...

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    I don’t think Burton only left because of insane money. He left for an opportunity to play in his preferred position and own a team. I think there would have been merit in staying for his career but his call. Same with Laurie, he may have won a bench spot (assuming Naden goes and May starts at...

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    I find it odd that he’s not linked to anyone in all this. If he was shopping around he’d be linked to the Tigers, Titans, Dogs and 5 more clubs. I’ll believe it when he signs. If he does leave, we’ll he’s a dick.

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    I obviously have no idea what the specific convos were but if it was ‘go get a great, long contract because there’s a young guy that’ll probably earn your spot next year’ then I don’t think we did much wrong by Josh. Obviously tough to take for someone that’s been so loyal to Penrith and the...

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    I think it’s as much become really clear that Cleary thrives when he’s the dominant half orchestrating play, supported by a running five eighth. When he’s been in that capacity he has killed it. Either way I’m super glad he got a great performance in. Taking the decider by the scruff of the neck...

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    I think Edwards' positioning and organisation of the defence is really under rated. You look at a guy like Latrell who is obviously an attacking dynamo, but completely at sea on the other side of the ball. The most certain route to a premiership is league best defence. Maybe...

    A thank you to the team

    Incredible season. We didn’t perform to the high standards we set all year in the big one, but the club took a giant leap forward this year. With the exception of last year, we have been getting frustrated at the club teetering on the edge of contention/clearing week 2 for some time. This year...

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    Who are these external options you’re referring to? Momirovski and maybe Rennings are the only guys I can see with some sort of pedigree. JMoz would be a great one year stop gap towards Turuva but not sure we’d have space.

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    We could also slot him into lock, with Yeo just completely taking Tamous role. May could do that or go to centre to give Burton his utility bench spot and some time to find his role in this side.

    GF Panthers vs Storm

    Benji does seem to be pretty astute. He was comparing his Tigers to our side which I don’t think is totally accurate. Melbourne are a MUCH tougher prospect than the 05 Cowboys who the Tigers best 50-6 in week 1 of the finals. Anyway, I reckon if Burton walks I’d be very keen to get Marshall in...

    PF2 Panthers vs Rabbits

    Rewatching the tries we conceded against the Chooks, every one except the kick that wasn’t cleaned up, was scored on the back of retreating defence allowing the Chooks to isolate guys. Normally we are slowing that ruck down and then rushing up as a unit and those plays can’t happen.

    PF2 Panthers vs Rabbits

    I think it’ll be a bloody good game and Souths will test our edge defence. I’m confident because our forwards and kicking game have been ins complete league of their own, not allowing sides into games at all. I think teams well known to be able to get down and dirty in the grind or defend...

    Finals.

    If Rabbits win the space they’ve had for sure they’ll test our defence more than any other side can at the moment. Winning that space will be extraordinarily hard against our pack and playing to the standard they have the last 3 weeks will be even tougher for a side that has spent the whole...

    Finals.

    Souths are playing off the back of their pack punching above their weight. They’ve been able to rack up scores subsequently against sides that couldn’t stay mentally engaged. Winning any space against our pack or maintaining momentum after a try or two will be the real challenge for Souths if...

    Finals.

    Yep I think this is 100% about getting ready for the grand final. We are not great at ANZ typically but you gotta get good if you wanna win the big dance. Might as well warm up against Souths/Eels.

    QF1 Panthers vs Roosters

    I’d be fine with Kikau swallowing the suspension. Capewell/Leniu is an unreal replacement and the nightmare is him beating the charge, playing and getting himself suspended for the GF. Re Naden I think his defence has improved out of sight this year. This is his first full year at centre so...

    Congrats On 16 Consecutive Wins!

    They have to get past the Raiders and the Storm after a huge game against us. If they make it through that run and beat us in the grand final then they bloody deserve it. They definitely improve with a few ins but I think we definitely improve having had our moment of stage fright and getting...

    Nathan for Dally M Medal

    I’d still back him in to spot it from the sideline to win the grand final. I think as you guys have said there’s probably a bit of mental fatigue involved from being the most involved guy in the sport. When he needs it though he is ice. That field goal wouldn’t have been kicked by many but he...

    QF1 Panthers vs Roosters

    I was at the pub and fairly drunk throughout so unsure how accurate my assessment would be. I think we came into this side without facing a real challenge for a long time and faced exactly that against the best team in recent times. We started with stage fright and then showed the class and...
