    Sack Nathan Brown

    SOS and Kosi shouldn't be on the field at this stage of their career. That they are there and cocking things up is due to necessity, not bad coaching. Personally I think Brown is simply average but one thing I do like about him is that he is constantly tinkering with things and trying to find...

    Shaun Johnson signs for 2022

    Probably, but I think it is also fair to say that the players benefit immensely from being taken out of their comfort zone and exposed to a much more ruthless Aussie environment. The problem of mediocrity being indulged is a flaw that afflicts all of New Zealand society, in my opinion, not just...

    Shaun Johnson signs for 2022

    They have no idea how to finish a set let alone close a game. We must have the lowest number of forced drop outs in the comp this year. Even people who are not that keen on Shaun must be pleased that we might start seeing something more than just misplaced bombs at the end of sets or people who...

    Shaun Johnson signs for 2022

    He was giving the Dally Ms a good shake before he got injured for them last year!

    Shaun Johnson signs for 2022

    This is wonderful. Brown and the management take a lot of heat around here but to me this year they have clearly identified the problems (prop wingers, crap halves) and gone to great measures to resolve them. SJ is not the solution in the halves but he is an excellent temporary measure to buy...

    Team v Dragons

    Is Walsh really going back to fullback? It would seem stupid to drop Montoya or DWZ from the wing to accommodate RTS again. Let's hope Walsh goes well in Origin and it convinces Brown that he is tough enough to play in the halves with Chad.

    Who are we buying for 2021 onwards

    It shows that management are aware of the problems and taking measures to fix them. Chad and Walsh in the halves and we suddenly look like a pretty good team. Not sure what we are going to do next year though.

    Bring back SJ

    Winning a grand final doesn't make you a good player. Some people just get lucky. He also got lucky with his hair, which on its day can be world-class.

    Team v Dragons

    The guy is certainly competent, but I think he goes better as a supporting half. When it is up to him to take the lead he seems to be found wanting, in my opinion. Can't say I have followed him all that closely since leaving us though.

    You know things are dire when Chad looks like a massive improvement on what's currently there. And he does.

    Ex Warrior watch 2021

    I saw an interview on Denan Kemp with Lane and his attitude towards NZ was pretty negative. If that was just bitterness at how he was treated then I can understand, but if he came over with that attitude then I am not surprised they didn't play him.

    Sack Nathan Brown

    The team is never going to be entirely Aussie. We couldn't afford the overs to get enough good players over from Australia for a start! And looking at the potential team for the Dragons at least half of them have NZ connections, so I'm not sure what the problem is. 50-50 seems a pretty good...

    With DWZ there now, does that mean RTS won't be pushed back to wing for the rest of the season?

    Sack Nathan Brown

    The best promotion or showcase for league in New Zealand would be success, and at this stage that is far more likely to occur with Australian players than exclusively Kiwi ones simply because they have usually come through much better systems. Besides, as far as I can recall always at least half...

    State of Origin 2021

    This seems pretty crazy to me. I'm sure his attack is up to it but his positional play in defence is still very much a work in progress. I can see him slipping all over the place as the Blues score try after try from kicks. Although if the trauma of it convinces him that his future lies in the...

    Sack Nathan Brown

    I'm not sure what the poor bloke is supposed to do. The major problem is clearly that our halves are terrible, but who can he replace them with? I'd put Walsh in there, but Brown has said he doesn't want to because he feels a duty of care to Walsh's parents and thinks he will get demolished...

    Team v Knights

    Grand finals were designed for people like Jazz. Missed overlap, penalty, Jazz would find a way to be the center of the conversation.

    Team v Knights

    I don't think he has what it takes to be a half, to be honest. That was really brought home to me the other week when he was screaming for somebody to kick the ball into touch late in the game when quite clearly they needed to going for a field goal. His last tackle options near the line are...

    Team v Knights

    Jazz was probably watching the game last week chuffed to bits and telling anybody who would listen that the scoreline reflected his absence. Expect him to return without having learned anything at all from being dropped.
