Mmmhmm baby he is back. Can't wait.

I think he will have a big impact for us. Especially grabbing some tough metres coming out of our own end.

The guy would have come very close to an origin jersey this year if not for his injury.

Him standing next to Kikau would be a nightmare for defence. Wait til everyone sees the difference now we have 2 actual centres

Waqa Blake is still a work in progress. Lot's of raw talent and while he still has errors in his game he is our most potent attacking weapon out wide if we actually have the game plan / set plays to give him some space.

im expecting him to come in and do a job but no doubt he'll be rusty, just as long as he does a few things right and gets some confidence in himself and his body...

and if he scored a hattrick - that'd be handy

Our halves are getting the centres plenty of ball for NSW. Why would they not bring it too club level? Kikau and Blake next to each other. Defences will struggle to stop that

Eventually, but it's unlikely this week. Blake coming back after a long break from ankle surgery and shoulder issues, and Kikau carrying a bad knee.

Of course. I mean going forward this week is good for match fitness and getting guys in form. A fit Blake/Kikau double with Peachey off the bench are the extra bit in attack we have lacked lately

Based on the limited reserve games I've seen Luai and May are good at engaging our edges in attack at least which is something.

We know what Tyrone May offers his a just a natural footy player.

While many don't rate Jerome Laui, he has a little bit of Preston Campbell about him, very talented kid and this week is a great opportunity for him to show what he can do.

I'm certainly a member of the Waqa Blake fan club but to cheer myself up after the debacle on the weekend I was watching over some old video's and has there ever been a more exciting player in full flight for our club than Rhys Wesser.

I have many fond memories of Rhys Wesser but the one that stands out is the clash against the Eels at home to clinch the minor premiership when he scooted out of from dummy half thirty out from our own line and proceeded to run thru the Eels to score. Scintillating. We have enjoyed some great fullbacks over our 50 year history but none better than Rhys Wesser.

That was the second time. The first time was against the dogs. On our 30m line or so, out of dummy half. Straight around the markers and through the middle of the ruck. Great move on Luke Patten at the back as well.

Used to pull the same play in Rugby League 1 on PC. Worked everytime. But only with Wes at hooker.

I think that was against the Bulldogs, or he might have done it twice. He did score 3 tries in the Eels match.
