    If you're going to get yourself sin binned you could at least do everyone a favour and land one on Chambers' face

    Correct ruling IMO, the presence of Williams in the line means Aitken can't slide straight across and has to kind of go back abit which creates a staggered line

    Tuala is 188cm and 96kg so wouldn't say he's small, I think if we tailor his pre season training to be more based around size and power even if we sacrifice a little bit of agility and fitness there's no reason why he can't be close to the 100kg mark next season.

    I think you can tell Tuala is much better suited to the left hand side, he definitely has the frame to put on abit more size and his quicker than you expect. Oates would've been a good option but given he's back in favour now I doubt the donkeys will let him go. In terms of who's on the market...

    No but athletic limitations are really exposed under Vlandys ball. Hoppa has been slow as a turtle for a while now but under Vlandys ball he just can't mark up on decent centres in space

    Rumoured Targets 3

    I think Tuala has really taken his opportunity on that left wing and if he can put together another good performance next week I think he might just earn himself a new contract, To'a has never been a winger in juniors he's an out and out fullback who can play in the centres but has never been...

    Butcher would be great but I doubt he'd leave, he grew up around the eastern suburbs, his brother is obviously a regular at the roosters and with them losing Liu and possibly Taekaeiaho I'd expect Butcher will be retained, the guy I'd chase is Fletcher Baker who's a little down the pecking order...

    NIB has to get some value for their sponsorship since they're not getting use of the corporate box perks. Just once I'd like to see him do something aside from just running that one crash line

    Definitely not a disaster but I think we missed the opportunity to really make a statement. Whilst the Broncos showed resilience I think we probably could've thrown abit more at them. Is it just me or did our left side look better after Fitzy got injured?

    Rumoured Targets 3

    So just a thought, the fact we chased Finucane pretty hard would indicate we've got abit of money left in the cap and are still in the market for a middle forward. From my understanding Herman Ese'ese has a player option for next year on decent coin but he's way down the pecking order for them...

    Match Discussion: Round 21 vs Brisbane @ Sunshine Coast Stadium

    Well yes, I think that sort of explained why we just don't offer much of a long range attacking threat. I know we were chasing Finucane but IMO what we really need is a middle forward who can ball play a little bit, perhaps someone like a John Asiata. I think we're kind of missing that bit of x...

    Match Discussion: Round 21 vs Brisbane @ Sunshine Coast Stadium

    I disagree, I don't think the Broncos were good at all, they made a tonne of errors but our attack is so disjointed we didn't really asks alot of questions of their goal line defence which is notoriously bad, 3 of our tries were result of just terrible goal line defence and the Fitzgibbon try...

    Match Discussion: Round 21 vs Brisbane @ Sunshine Coast Stadium

    Anyone watching the channel 9 post match? Clifford got MOTM and was asked about his combination with Pearce and Clifford mentioned a few times about getting to our spots. Joey spoke about that comment and said that idea of getting to your spots is a thing of the past, these days you also have to...

    Match Discussion: Round 21 vs Brisbane @ Sunshine Coast Stadium

    That victory almost felt like a loss such was the performance. Broncos were terrible, if they dished that up against storm, south's or Turbo it would've been a 50 point drubbing but we barely got the points. The problem is against any of those top 6 teams I just don't see any way we can compete...

    And there's the advantage of just a quick e w rly shift, if we were in that position there would've been a settler then we would run shape then pass it to Fitzy to run the crash line

    Match Discussion: Round 21 vs Brisbane @ Sunshine Coast Stadium

    That decoy/obstruction penalty pretty much sums up where we are in terms of attacking structures, why you have a backrower running a decoy for a one out front rower charge is baffling enough but to get it that wrong as well

    Barnett is so much more effective running that crash line than Fitzplodder

    Match Discussion: Round 21 vs Brisbane @ Sunshine Coast Stadium

    Shape is one thing but under Vlandys ball I think it should only make about 1/3rd of your attacking structure with quick shift/early ball and attacking through the ruck/dummy half also equally as advantageous under Vlandys ball unfortunately we haven't gotten the memo yet and we're using tactics...

    Match Discussion: Round 21 vs Brisbane @ Sunshine Coast Stadium

    Who is coaching the attack because it's abysmal, over 30 tackles inside the Broncos red zone and the best we could come up with was 2 individual efforts that were due to really poor goal line defence more than anything else. Ennis made a really good point that when we attack try a play, doesn't...
