2023 Team

If they do end up signing Miller he will miss at least half of pre-season. Another excuse lined up for the coach I guess.

He’s missing the fitness and conditioning training, and let’s be honest, I’d prefer he got that from the sharks than our pack of pea hearts.

Still eligible for Jersey Flegg and was meant to be a development player for the Sharks in 2023 so not sure what type of deal he's on but he's training with the NRL squad.

Looks like a slick mover.

So we training with Gagai at the back? Hope we sign Miller soon then because Ponga at six and Hastings are also going to be clunky at best.

Thats is great news. Rivett is a gun

Carved up the jnrs on the GC a few years back

Block in a bar have a pretty accurate preview of our squad up on their latest podcast

fairly on point

main points:
Who plays fullback if we miss out on Miller? (They have Gagai or Mann)
Will kp go good at 6 with the extra defensive workload
1-13 team fairly decent on paper…..14-17 pretty average

 

[Jono078]

It's pissing me off how Ponga's kicking game is being overlooked by many as he transitions 5/8th. That' the biggest concern is what it means for our team's kicking game.

By all means Gamble isn't the best kicker but it's a bit more natural to him.

It's annoying that we moved a rep quality fullback to 6 mainly because we're out of ideas. It's a terrible one, he'll be back in the 1 before origin.

Im obviously in the minority in that I think 6 will be the making of him.

I'm with Sam. I don't think the coach or KP are really committed to it but a Hastings + Mann/Gamble/Crossland halves combo guarantees a bottom 4 finish and AOB without a job, so here we are.

Haven’t listened to all of part 2 yet but I don’t rate their analysis much. The bloke who calls himself the Rugby League guru either points out the obvious or is just flat out wrong.
Not saying their thoughts on our squad aren’t right but they don’t seem like particularly good judges.

I think he'll be a better 6 than 1 but the fullback position is definitely still a concern.

Guru's great. Of course no one is 100% right all the time but he makes some great content.

Maybe he normally is but just listening to his input over the 2 preview podcasts and he has plenty of shit takes.

Haven’t heard any of his other stuff though.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

If you want a podcast with a couple of hosts who really know their stuff then listen to the Fifth & Last podcast. These guys have been in the game as coaches for a long time and have some of the best footy chat I’ve heard. Definitely worth checking it out.

 

[Knight Tales]

If Will Pryce has openly said he wants to be a 5/8 then it probably lends weight to the idea this could be a one season only move for Kalyn. Unless he and Jacko tear it up and we defy expectations.

Is it really any worse than a Hastings+Ponga halves combo with Gagai/Mann at fullback?

Yucky

Shit takes? Example?

I generally find his input, especially on young up and comers, to be pretty spot on most of the time

He referred to Tedesco as the most selfless footballer in the game. Teddy is a great player but is ball hog who can over play his hand.
He also talked up Gagai as a centre and knew nothing about Bailey Hodgson. Didn’t sound much like a Rugby League guru to me.

He might normally be great but none of the 3 on it seemed to have alot expertise imo.
