    2021 RLWC (D) Wk1 - TON 24-18 PNG @ St Helens

    yep, few times they actually went down a narrow short side down the right when it would've been easier to angle a cross field kick to Tupou

    2021 RLWC (D) Wk1 - TON 24-18 PNG @ St Helens

    If Tonga had abit more quality in the key positions they could've easily put a score on, there were periods they were starting their sets from their own 30 and marching 40-50 up field but lacked the halves to really turn the screws on PNG, the last kick SST put in for Koloamatangi to score was...

    2021 RLWC (D) Wk1 - TON 24-18 PNG @ St Helens

    Their middle forwards aren't really the issue, AFB, Tatola, SST and Fotuiaka are as good as any middle rotation probably outside of NZ, and all are well ahead of Pangai Jr and Paseka is any pecking order. IMO I think Tonga lacked abit of polish on last tackle options and their edge defence...

    2021 RLWC (C) Wk1 - NZL 34-12 LBN @ Warrington

    I thought NZ were pretty good, getting Hughes back will be huge as Foran whilst steady doesn't offer a running threat which I think is vital with the way they play (lots of 2nd phase, quick PTBs, etc). Thought CNK really struggled in the centres, ran the wrong line on multiple occasions which...

    Knights in the World Cup

    yes, apparently alot of behind the scenes stuff going on. Parish for some reason despite the lack of a CV, lack of success and lack of any sort of personal profile is held in very high regard by the Samoan Rugby League. From what I've understand in the past it's gotten to a point where high...

    apparently the Matt Parish half time speech is on par with AOB

    Knights in the World Cup

    Most of those points conceded when Milford decided to get himself sin binned. At what point do Samoa need to look at coaching? Matt Parish has been in charge for 9 years now and they're still yet to beat a half decent team during that tenure, more over he's never really been a head coach at...

    2021 RLWC (A) Wk1 - ENG 60-6 SAM @ Newcastle

    They're a good side on paper but alot of their players look like they've forgotten how to play.

    2021 RLWC (A) Wk1 - ENG 60-6 SAM @ Newcastle

    Luai is a quality 5/8th but I doubt even Wally Lewis would be able to overcome the ineptitude of Levi and Milford let alone Luai

    Knights in the World Cup

    Samoa looked very disjointed early on but I think they're starting to come into their own especially with 2nd phase play

    Knights in the World Cup

    Great to see what Dom can actually do in a half decent side, he's torn Samoa to shreds, 2 great tries and pretty sure hes earned his side 2 or 3 set restarts from his strong carries

    Rumoured Targets 3

    the issue is that he's got a 2 year window, a window where we're realistically nowhere near any of the top sides so what would motivate DCE to come here?

    Rumoured Targets 3

    DCE is 34 next year, how many good years do we think he has left in him?

    Knights in the World Cup

    if you look at the Jillaroos squad you'd dead set think the Titans played the Broncos in the GF instead of finishing last and 2nd last. I'm pretty sure the selectors didn't bother watching any finals and pretty much just picked alot of the squad based on the PM's XIII game against a PNG side...

    Sack Adam O'Brien

    After this season's sh*t show I somehow doubt the players have much sway, I mean they could threaten to leave but there wouldn't be many teams knocking down the doors to pick up our players

    NRLW season 2022

    I have no doubt the NRLW will get to a stage where players can hopefully earn enough where it will be their primary income but I think we're probably a few years off that especially for squad players. I still think locality will be the biggest factor for players for at least the next few years...

    NRLW season 2022

    she played for the roosters besure she came through the central coast roosters side which was the only pathway for most Newcastle and mid north coast players. This is the thing you don't understand, most NRLW players are on less than $20k a year, it's how we were able to attract so many girls...

    NRLW season 2022

    Predebon is from Gloucester on the mid north coast and played for Newcastle in the CRL previously so don't see her moving to Sydney at all, I think Teitzel and Manzelmann will join Nth QLD with Teitzel probably being a marquee player but would not surprise me of we end up getting Olivia Kernick...

    NRLW season 2022

    I honestly think the selectors looked at this season's form and disregarded it completely. There were 6 players chosen from the 2 grand finalist and like 9 players chosen from the 2 teams that finished bottom 2. If you looked at the squad make up you'd think the Broncos and titans played in the...

    World Cup Squads

    I think you're being abit harsh on Su'a and Leilua, Su'a has played origin and started in a grand final less than 12 months ago, Leilua was very good for the cowboys this year. I mean they might not be Kikau or Nanai but they're not exactly chopped liver.
