    2026 rumoured and confirmed signings

    Im being a little pedantic i get that. But for me part of the tribalism that makes me love the club is seeing local kids come through so i like the distinction. I value any juniors and i do look at say central west as 'ours'. And development is development i dont really care where a player comes...

    2026 rumoured and confirmed signings

    Its wrong becuase the list is for local juniors and as you say the rooster dont have local juniors. The roosters are a top development club but they are not developing locals so why would they be on the top of a list for developing local juniors? If just a list of develop juniors in general...

    2026 Match Review Charges & Judiciary

    Wishing injuries on players for something this small is pretty pathetic mate, are you okay?

    2026 rumoured and confirmed signings

    Yeah but if we get to generous with our definitions the roosters will be near the top of this list which doesnt make sense. I think just keep in mind just because they arent developing locals it doesnt mean a club is not still developing players well.

    2026 rumoured and confirmed signings

    Not a good look for the dolphins either, I thought there was a bunch of talent up there. Where are all the good juniors from Brisbane/redcliffe area playing? not in brisbane or redcliffe it seems.

    Round One: Brisbane v Penrith

    Liam Henry out for a few weeks with a knee injury. Will be interesting to see who steps into the rotation. This time last year it was Patea but he seems to have fallen back a bit and i think our depth is better. I think the options are Crosby, Ale, Patea and Phillips. Crosby i cant really judge...

    General Discussion Thread

    I think that team of leavers top 13 is pretty f**king good, burto, critta, luai, katoa, fish api kiks, super strong. I think current would likely beat that team based off the benches however, the other bench is shit and i think leniu lets you done as a starting prop a bit and there isnt a real...

    2026 rumoured and confirmed signings

    No thanks. Would take him for this year only perhaps, hes coming off an ACL and he will be 32 in two months. Good player and seems to have become a leader but we have enough experience in the middle. As a dev club it would be concerning if we dont have 1 or 2 guys ready to step onto the bench...

    2026 Match Review Charges & Judiciary

    If you combine the contact you think you are seeing there with the momentum of the impact overall then we'd be thanking our lucky stars for only 2 weeks and it might've been send off instead of sin bin. Obviously it didnt happen like that. Well known that action stills and slow motion can be...

    2026 rumoured and confirmed signings

    I dont think we shuld not play Garner when he is fit this year, he certainly plays. But to your point no one else is going to prove they can do it until they get a chance, and finding someone who can do it and play backrow at the nrl level is just the start, Take GArner for example, he always...

    2026 rumoured and confirmed signings

    Not sure its sorted but he has said he wont be here. But yeah i was no to fussed with him potentially leaving this year or next because hes already 30. We are going to have to let some players go sooner then we want or risk a falling off a cliff in 2 or 3 years.

    2026 rumoured and confirmed signings

    Yep that is why the coaching staff IMO need to consider Sorros place int he squad this year. I really hope they are open to Phillips/Patea/Clarke/Armstrong or someone else taking Sorros bench spot. We've got a bunch potential NRL forwards in the 20-22 age bracket. If one or more of them start...

    2026 rumoured and confirmed signings

    What worries me is not whether or not we have the talent pool because of course we do, and we know how to manage it based on the fact we have just been so successful off the back of our production. What really worries me is that many of our best, in particular the forwards, took years of first...

    2026 Match Review Charges & Judiciary

    Anyway i think we are likley to lose this challenge because the MRC and Judiciary is a f**king shitfight. But seriosuly watch the tackle, watch the contact and the non reaction of the player hit and his teammates and tell me its worth 3 weeks. No one was calling for high contact they were giving...

    2026 Match Review Charges & Judiciary

    But first contact with the head would it make it a worse charge no? So it does matter obviously. How could you say otherwise?

    2026 Match Review Charges & Judiciary

    How often is a player not getting a HIA a high shout that lands someone in the sin bin? In particular supposed direct shoulder contact to the head.

    2026 Match Review Charges & Judiciary

    There wasnt even a HIA from this incident. IF Nathan rushed out of the line at thaat speed and actually hit him directly in the head the independent doctor is making that kid come off for a test 100 percent.

    2026 Match Review Charges & Judiciary

    The head contact was secondary, The first point of contact was below the head very clearly. Im not even convinced there was an real contact but if there was it was not heavy it was a brushing of his head hitting Nathans should from the the initial contact being lower. To characterize this as...
