    Parra R 26 Now or Never.

    Before the Titans game I thought this was the best 17 that would get us over the line and into the finals... The most important change is Ravalawa needs to come back in for Max Feagai and Lomax back into the centres on the right. I've made a couple of tweaks to the starting line up based on...

    Round 25 v Sharks

    That's the difference between us + the chasing pack, and everyone else currently sitting in the top eight. Said the same thing after the games against the Panthers and Bulldogs as well. After K Flannos suspension was confirmed, I called for Ravalawa to be brought back in on the right wing with...

    King Gutho linked to Dragons

    Being able to get Gutho for 2025 (at the right price), in addition to having already recruited Val Holmes, would be huge for the club. You're basically recruiting two elite level full backs who are also capable of playing wing or centre. You're also forcing Sloan to continue ripping in and...

    Flanno's New Signings

    Both are NSWmen so might be a chance of getting one in a swap deal.

    Flanno's New Signings

    If Ben stays for 2025 - that's pretty much it for him, because it will definitely be his last year before retirement. I can't see another club picking him up for 2026> as there will be very little benefit. Going by the way he was talking on Face-to-Face, I couldn't see him going to another club...

    King Gutho linked to Dragons

    I'd be inclined to keep Eisenhuth and Marshcke - but also wouldnt stand in the way of either if a better offer came in for them from elsewhere. Buchanan, Egan, King-Togia, Pasifiki-Tonga aren't confirmed Top 30 yet(?) - I'd say this is more 'wish-list' opinion from my own perspective (as is the...

    King Gutho linked to Dragons

    We have one roster spot left. Parramatta are looking to move on Gutho & RCG. Can we: Offer Blake Lawrie in a swap deal to get both & with some part freight also? This makes sense - as Lawrie can go with his mate Zac, and Parramatta will need to replace RCG in their engine room. 1. Sloan 2...

    2025 signings & line up

    Maybe Blake Lawrie could be done in some sort of swap deal with Parramatta? Makes sense - as they will need middles if RCG is moving on, and he'd be going with his best mate Zac.

    2025 signings & line up

    I like this analysis. The backline players mentioned have obviously signed elsewhere now, but we got Val Holmes most importantly. That's the spot vacated by Lomax now filled. There is still a lot of talk that Flanno is interested in Gutherson and monitoring the situation. If he does become...

    Round 24 v Titans

    Now that Kyle is gone for the rest of the season, along with injuries to Suli and Sele ill... I'm going to make a call on the line up I feel will get us to the finals. I want to see Lomax & Rava reunited as our right side wing / three quarter combo. Tui & Matt F on the left. Unfortunately we...

    Flanno's New Signings

    The simple fact is - the club (be it the coach or the higher ups) is not willing to pay overs for any player. To be honest, I don't blame them. The one off exception to this seems to have been Ben Hunt. Have we got our monies worth here? I'm pretty sure this is also playing a part in our...

    Round 22 v The Storm

    I don't know about the rest of you - but HOW BLOODY GOOD WAS THAT!!!??!!! For the first time since the 2010 prelim final, the team made me sit on the edge of my seat for the full 80mins, riding every play, cursing just about every refereeing decision. I won't pin point who was best on ground...

    How Much Damage has Hunt done to this Club

    Had George Rose not been at the club in 2015, we wouldnt have made the finals. He had cult status, and unlike most others over the last 12-15 years, he actually had a go. In hindsight - if we didn't have him, maybe Mary would have been sacked sooner?

    Flanno's New Signings

    I don't think any of us will be able to work it out... But it's abundantly clear that, for one reason or another: - Location - Money - General ineptitude of our management in wheeling and dealing - The current playing roster (who their team mates might be) - Who the coach is - Afraid of the...

    Flanno's New Signings

    One thing that really irks me... If Braith Anasta is managing players, he should not be: 1. Host of an NRL tabloid gossip program 2. Mixing with journalists on the same 3. Commenting openly about players wages (rumoured or otherwise) This is a conflict of interest if ever there was one...

    How Much Damage has Hunt done to this Club

    The losses we've had this year have been hard to swallow, because the team in other games have shown they can do way better. Yesterday was the type of game where we were thrown back in the trenches early under heavy fire. This is where we needed our generals to step up and come up with a...

    Flanno's New Signings

    If anything, I would love to see the Dogs go all in on him and put themselves up against the salary cap wall again. From what is playing out, they aren't showing any signs that they have learnt their lessons from the Des Hasler era. With this happening, it opens up opportunities for clubs like...

    Flanno's New Signings

    I'd say that the only club that will get value for money out of Stefano would be the Storm. They can carry the salary cap burden while Bellamy brings in some juniors to cover the outside backs on lower wages. No other club would be able to carry the burden and not suffer for it. Even Penrith...

    Flanno's New Signings

    I don't think Flanno is the type of coach who is going to throw one million of his eggs into his front row basket. Using Cookie as the blueprint for where things might be going - getting Daniel Saifiti and RCG, with some of the freight being taken up by their current clubs, potentially gets us...
