What's worse is the talk Willie Mason started it has got traction in many other media outlets. Is the NRL going to act on mid season?

Nah. It will fizzle away in a week and be a non event.

That on the 1st tackle the Panthers on purpose giveaway a 6 again so that the defence can be ready

Which is correct

 

[Fangs]

Anyone watching footy since 2020 will already know that every team worked this out years ago.

Every single team in the comp gives away set restarts early in the count. The difference is we are just very good at it.

Oh OK. thanks. Willy though is a bit slow. I worked out 2 years ago that's what Melbourne and Penrith were doing. Almost impossible to police too.

What are they going to do? Stop giving set restarts against panthers?

Pretty much, I thought he explained it well.

Not only does every team do this, in a world where the NRL cracked down on it I'm pretty confident we'd be among the first to adapt.

It's also a little "test the referee out" thing too. They like to find out what he's going to crack down on and how long he let's the wrestle go for.

Makes sense at the moment right end of the field.

I looked up who our development players are for 2026 to see who may get upgraded to a top 30 contract to replace Eisenhuth. But we don’t actually have any development players currently signed for 2026. Just Clarke for 2027.

Has anyone heard rumours of who is replacing Eisenhuth In the top 30?

I thought Billy Phillips took his spot in the top 30

That is great

Chris Cornell , what a legend

Phillips was upgraded before Eisenuth retired, so we still only have 28 players. But as all clubs are supposed to have at least 29 players before the season kicks off, we must be signing or upgrading someone very soon.
