    R2 v Dolphins.

    I love your enthusiasm for Lawrie but there is no way he would be in the top 17 of any team in the comp. As to your statement that implies all his teammates, all his coaches, all the opposition players and all the opposition coaches would say he is effective, I think, this is probably a bit of...

    R2 v Dolphins.

    Its not the effort thats being questioned, its the effectiveness. His usual tackle load includes standing and dancing with the attacker while they make post contact meters down field, getting up on the wrong side of the play the ball, failing to control the play the ball and when he gets...

    Sloan vs Walsh

    Have a look back at Sloans play last year, he made most of his breaks pushing through the line from dummy half or first receiver. He didnt actually find as much open space as I would like. This year he is now finding the space and I hope he can continue to push through the forwards from in...

    Zac Lomax

    A lot of talk about Sloans poor defence but conveniently overlook his tackle on papalii which saved a try or his effort to hold up the player in goal (even if the bunker found a way to give a try). People said they wanted to see improvement and more commitment and physicality. Took bombs, was...

    Jason Taumalolo

    Maybe, but we're not talking about a one-sided broken contract, it would be mutually agreed by the Cowboys and JT to terminate and then a new contract entered into with the new club. The Cowboys would pay out an amount to encourage JT to agree to terminate. He is then a free agent and would...

    Jason Taumalolo

    I just cant understand why JT would agree to leave the Cowboys. He's on a million dollars a year for the next four years and lives in North Queensland. You would think it would need a big increase in his pay packet and for him to agree to leave, no matter how much Cowboys may want to move him...

    Flanno's New Signings

    We have cap space coming out of our ears and no one to spend it on for the next two years. Give Mam 1.1m, or whatever, for two years, if he lives up to expectations then this is what he would command. If he doesnt then move him on and spend the 1.1m somewhere else. We dont lose, we get a young...

    How Much Damage has Hunt done to this Club

    Sorry but its not about being a wowser and definitely not about being woke ( I am not woke). Its about common decency and morality. I personally dont want this sort of behaviour at the club, people talk about culture, well this is a culture we shouldnt accept. Discipline doesnt just suddenly...

    Coach Flanno

    I was initially disappointed when we missed out on AFB but when I started thinking about the young guys like Fifita, Tuitavake, King-Togia, Lui etc I changed my thinking a bit. We would have gotten AFB in 2025 for four years, in all likelyhood he would be on the decline during this time and the...

    Flanno's New Signings

    With such a big bucket of cap available to us why not try a different approach. Marquee players dont want to come here and the good teams have first grade ready juniors waiting for the call up. Offer those juniors way overs for two years with the opportunity of playing first grade now, if they...

    The Rumours Thread

    I think our fullback's defence should be better (and it has been improving slowly) but to extend that to infer it has cost us a number of games is not right. The number of games we lost due to a poor last line of defence was minimal compared to other reasons for our losses. PS: I think our...

    The Rumours Thread

    In the first half of the year we lost a number of games because Lomax's kicking was off. We lost at least four games due to wrong refs calls ( and I mean howlers that turned the game). We lost or did not win a couple due to Hunt's poor game management. The fullback was not the deciding factor...

    Bud News

    I was a Bud fan from when I saw him play in the Koori cup as a 17 year old. I am disappointed he is going but if the decision has been made due to cost, injuries and perhaps attitude then I have to trust at this stage that it is the best decision for the team. I am also disappointed Hunt is...

    Hunt has asked for a release

    I am sick of hearing Hunt is our best player and has carried the team. Just getting your hands on the ball more than anyone else doesnt mean you're good. What exactly has he done thats so wonderful, -he's on a million bucks a year or close enough -has one of the highest missed tackles of any...

    interim coach - Carr?

    To be honest I wasn't overly impressed with Carr's press interview. He was reasonably articulate but I didn't think the content was particular inspiring. The BODs are all on the same page, the players are all on the same page, Hunt is happy to do the best for the team. Concentrate on the...

    New recruits for 2023

    I'm not comparing these players to each other, what I was trying to say is, in my opinion, we dont get value from them equal to what they are costing. I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere that Amone has played about 45 first games now. Generally, as you get closer to that 50 game mark, the player...

    New recruits for 2023

    I was a big critic of Dufty's shortcomings but it is unfair to be as critical of Sloan. Dufty was 24 or 25 and had played 100 first grade games (or there about) and Sloan is 20, yet Sloan is showing improvement with his physicality while Dufty didnt. As far as I'm concerned Sloan is showing...

    Coaching preference for 2024

    My first choice is Bennett and my second choice is Bellamy. However, I am assuming that they are not available and of the names thrown around I find I'm more comfortable with the idea of Smith ahead of the others. To me every name mentioned has a fair degree of gamble and potential to backfire...

    Coaching preference for 2024

    I dont think hes a no brainer but I do think he looks really interesting especially when compared to the other names being thrown around. Des and Flannagan both are a lottery, there is upside with their experience but they both have histories that I worry may harm the club. The reason i would...
