    Lovin’ Flanagan

    That's a great read. I wonder what it means for guys like Leilua in this defensive system? You need pretty much everyone in the front line to be solid defensively while we know Leilua has his issues. We've had good defensive performances without Leilua & bad ones with him in the 13 on the...

    Round 8 v Roosters Anzac Day

    Thoughts on Bird replacing Lawrie? Lawrie provides size & direct straight line runs. Bird provides tackle break/offloading opportunities & can cover numerous positions without having to reshuffle the side.

    Round 8 v Roosters Anzac Day

    The key is stopping their halves & hookers from having any significant influence. Tire them out with defence & pressure them at every opportunity. Their pack & outside backs will seize on any opportunities, we need to limit it by targeting their halves imo.

    The Rumours Thread

    Would look to learn from Panthers recruitment strategy rather than Roosters. The Panthers method is more sustainable for success & suits us more imo.

    Zac Lomax

    What a load of crap. Zac puts in effort for his team mates & the club, it's a shame it hasn't worked out but it isn't a lack of effort from his part. Until Flanno arrived (early days) but the club has been a cesspool on & off the field.

    Round 8 v Roosters Anzac Day

    We relentlessly targeted Shaun Johnson last game, I hope we do the same to both their halves this game too. Big job for our back 5 to carry our sets, so the middle can concentrate on defence. Praying Hunt has a good kicking game. On that note, chooks halves kicking game isn't that good. If...

    Round 8 v Roosters Anzac Day

    My fav game of the year. Hope both teams rip in & provide a great spectacle. Enjoy.

    The Rumours Thread

    Forgot he was under contract. IF a team wanted him then I'd release him (bulldogs are desperate). Imo his ceiling is an impact bench prop. Not good enough for a top 17 spot in a good side but a good depth player. I think Toby Couchman could do a better job than him imo.

    The Rumours Thread

    We need a top 5 prop, our current props (molo/sele) are great as 2nd tier props but a top 5 prop would elevate this side big time. IMO stefano utoikamanu is the type of player we should target, happy to pay overs for someone like him as he'll become a top 5 prop.

    Sloan

    During the last 2 games Sloan has returned the ball back with intensity. This has resulted in him poking through the defensive line & not getting pushed backwards. He can utilise his speed to cover the ground quickly like the Hammer for the Dolphins. This will also give him more momentum & power...

    Round 8 v Roosters Anzac Day

    We're the least penalised team in the comp but we've got the highest error rate. We need to improve in this area, especially in a marquee match where momentum is soo crucial.

    KOE (ex Canterbury Cup) and Jersey Flegg

    Great insight provided. I hope the Couchman's get some 1st grade experience this year, maybe during origin period if Su'a is selected otherwise form/injuries to others? I've liked Toby's defence in the middle last year, I thought he provided different tackling techniques to slow down the ruck...

    Round 7 v Warriors at WIN

    I've noticed Lawrie has tried to find his front quicker in the last 2 games, imo under instructions from the coaches. If he can also incorporate his angled runs aimed towards the back of the markers then he could turn into an effective bench prop. Panthers back 5 role is to do the hard/shitty...

    Round 7 v Warriors at WIN

    very good and differing views on the game. my General Observations: - Our defensive line speed for the first 10-15mins was shit, allowed nz to roll up the field. - Goal line defence was amazing, comes down to attitude & communication. - Back 5 were great both with & without the ball. - Bench...

    Zac Lomax

    He's a gun & has been playing brilliantly since the 2nd half of 2023 when hook got the hook & flanno was confirmed as head coach. Deserves a shot at Origin if he can maintain this form.

    Round 7 v Warriors at WIN

    Apart from the first 15mins that was the most complete performance since we smashed brisbane in the 2018 finals
