    Your team v's Titans Rd1

    Whatever you read on Paea's SL performances they were exaggerated then. Average at best compared to the other forwards in the UK. He's 30 years old and he is our smallest prop. Taking all these things into account why are you so surprised? I've always seen him as a NSW Cup/fringe signing. Just...

    Pressure-on-knights-to-retain-back-rowers

    Pay overs for a backrower that wouldn't start in any other team's pack except for maybe the Tigers and Titans? This is why we're in the cap crisis we're in now. Rochow is not the player we need to be throwing everything at, crazy talk. Yes make a good offer but if he walks there's plenty of...

    Tapine Gone

    Kurtis Dark, Brodie Jones, Bradie Smith, Jayden Butterfield are all current rep junior backrowers who are looking extremely promising. We have guys like Bhana, Koopu, Yates, Fitzgobbon, both Saifitis. We've just signed Pauli. Not to mention we have all this extra salary cap now to spend on...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    The funny thing is he has the exact same mindset as Leilua. They both have talent and potential but they both look like they'd rather be in the crowd eating hot chips half the time. Tapine is often nowhere to be seen. In the NYC he was our go to player along with Sione and Mamo but in NSW cup...

    Tapine Gone

    He'll be released as soon as it's confirmed by the Raiders in 10 days

    Heroic Burgess saves a man's life

    "I'm telling you, Sam is a hero" It just sounds like a really overly cliche thing to say. I cringed the whole way reading this secret informant's splooge fest.

    Rumoured Targets 3

    I love the second a player gets even remotely linked to another club some come out with criticism against them in preparation for their slim chance of exit being their loss not ours. Toohey said today that we aren't letting him go and Brown has already said that their sole focus is on...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    He's only played a handful of games and played barely any minutes in those so how do you know, sorry but that was a weird statement to make.

    Auckland 9s

    They aren't risking Hodkinson, Mullen or Gagai it looks like. Uate picked up an injury too so I doubt they'll play him. Our other highest paid players would probably be Tariq and Sione but they're suspended. We have to play one of our 5 top highest paid players so that leaves Snowy or Korbin...

    Auckland 9s

    Both Tariq and Sione can't play Agreed with the Tapine statement, he has as much talent and strength as the next "next big thing" but he really needs to get out of cruise control and put more punch into everything he does. He is still a rookie afterall, I'm sure the more he gets used to the NRL...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    As for round one there's a few options for centre. Ross, Chanel, Pat, Tapine, Tofilau, Robson, Bradie Smith. Feeney has been training at fullback and says if Mamo beats him to it for round one then he'll play in the NSW Cup halves. I hope we don't see Mataora in first grade unless we really...

    If clubs are stupid enough to pay him 500k then I pray we aren't one of them

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Yes it's tight but so is every other NRL club. The fact remains we are one of the few clubs who are under the cap and in the position to sign players. Brown is far from done recruiting. "There are a number of sides out there that have salary cap trouble and we are under the cap and we have a...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Roberts will not get 500k+ unless one of the rich clubs give him third parties. I struggle to see how Kurt Gidley, Beau Scott, Tyrone Roberts, Adam Clydsdale, Joey Leilua can only get us Hodkinson and Paea. That's pretty much what you're saying. They're some of the highest paid players at the...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Even if we do pay a little over for Roberts, with the amount of players who have left over the last 2 years I am sure we could afford him and a quality prop or 2 as well. It shouldn't have to be one or the other.

    Team 2016

    Cogger will do some training at hooker, he played both in the halves and hooker for the Australian schoolboys during the last tournament. Brock Lamb kills it wherever he plays, he's the one we need to watch. He's obviously a star playmaker but he's also played fullback in the NYC last year...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Ross probably wouldn't have got an upgrade in terms of money, he'd still be on NSW Cup money but he's a decent back up winger to have for another year.
