    2025 draw released

    Last few rounds is rough, especially being away. Good thing we’re not slow starters. …oh wait….

    We’re really slow starters too.

    To be honest as terrible as it is losing her, the side has been absolutely pulled to shreds by other clubs and IMO we’re heading out of our premiership window with or without Tamika. We definitely had her at the best time.

    I don’t disagree with your general point, however statistically speaking of course those 3 spoons are going to skew the 10 year data considerably. Some of the circumstances surrounding those 3 years though were truely bizarre and frankly beyond the realms of bad luck for any club. Yes a lot of...

    Goes both ways mate. If we’d kicked a couple more conversions last year we’d made top 4 pretty comfortably. Not going as well as I’d like us to by any means (especially not 2024) but need to look at it objectively. Even the Roosters and Broncos with their advantages haven’t been able to...

    Tbh the previous recruitment manager has a lot to answer for. That’s when most of really bad contracts were signed. Club said initially they parted ways as Zammit didn’t want to relocate to Newcastle but I wonder if there was more to it than that and Gardner realised what had happened to the...

    Tbh I wouldn’t want us to sign Hunt anyway. We need someone to steady the team, hold his composure and make the right plays in important games to take pressure off Ponga. Ben Hunt is literally the exact opposite of that.

    Always liked him even when everyone was calling him shit. Tbh he was probably a bit unlucky that he was at the club the same time as a pretty talented backline as he’d probably be a solid week in-week out first grader in a lot of sides. It’s amazing he managed to play so many games as a backup...

    It is 3 business days after November 1. There’s probably a whole heap of offers being put out across the league but it’s not like players are going to be signing anything right away.

    Definitely. At the same time though I’d have no issues throwing a large potential type contract at the likes of Lachie Galvin who’s younger, same with Cleary at a younger age. Not saying Pezet won’t make it, but I’m not seeing him as a sure enough prospect that we need to be overpaying him based...

    Just purely on the basis that he has some potential and the dire lack of halves I’d offer him about 500k. Will likely need a lot more though. He’s definitely not a Ponga style punt though. Ponga was a sure thing. If Pezet cracks on he’s definitely better than what we already have, but whether...

    Ponga Appreciation Thread.

    Honestly there’s too much wrong in that article to even start. I think Crawls has finally taken too much UV to the head.

    I don’t mind either way if we sign Pezet but really don’t want him on a loan. Given his age and stage of his career it will only help the Storm him getting that experience

    He was never going to re-sign with the Storm unless there were a lot of clauses in his contract, despite what the media was reporting Very limited FG opportunities for a long time there.

    Rumoured Targets 3

    To me this is why we need an elite level halfback (although obviously unrealistic). Your 6 and 7 are seen as a bit interchangeable these days, but typically when you think of players that consistently ice the big moments and direct the team in the big moments it’s the 7 (like all of those...

    POS’ first re-signing when he joined the club was Gamble, while he was tapping a lot of others on the shoulder and telling them to leave. He’s not resigning him when we already have a stack of NSW cup quality halves under contract if he doesn’t rate him.

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Gamble’s criminally underrated IMO. Definitely not in the top portion of halves by any means but a few people seem to think his only upside is his mongrel and he doesn’t actually have any skills. He’s solid defensively, digs into the line which allows space for the backs, has a surprisingly...

    Just curious, how much have you watched of Pezet? You’re acting like he’s this elite talent that the Knights would be lucky if he even considered us. He’s shown some good skills in the juniors but nothing about him is a sure bet. If he wants to back himself to stay at the Storm on a lower...

    The Storm make a lot of sacrifices in the backs and forwards to accommodate them, and it’s now coming out that they can’t offer Paps more than $750k for his next contract. They’re in a great position to do that as they have a great kid waiting in the wings at fullback, but eventually he’s going...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    You’re not going to sign a half that will make any type of meaningful difference for under say 900k (and that’s if you’re lucky). In terms of a junior half with good potential, by the time he develops to the point that he’s performing consistently in FG you’re not going to keep him unless you...
