How do the tigers not chase any of our cup forwards. They have Bird and Naden in their pack right now😂
Half our cup forwards will walk into their starting line up.
Bunty’s all they can have tho, we’ll trade him for Bula.

because they could be chasing Haas instead:
 
A few incidents with Haas last night.

One point he lead their kick chase tackling the ball carrier near the side line. It was just him and one other player. It did stand out as you don't see kick chases that poor in the modern game. Team often come down in packs.

He cleaned up a grubber in the in goal which should have been for one of his team mates.

The above point out the lack of effort from his team mates. He also had the quick reflex catch and break. Putting that there as he's a hell of an athlete.

The Broncos were dire last night. Just shuffling the ball to the sideline. A few periods with some comical forward passes or errors.
 
Great post off the knights forum yesterday. Our players and those coming through are starting to get some attention








There’s a very good chance Halasima will be the best back rower in the NRL.

Fish is incredible but the whole reason he’s in NZ now is he got a compassionate grounds release. He’s not coming back to Australia.
IMO, Halasima is the most gifted backrower the league has seen since David Fifita.

With Fish/Barnett/Capewell there as experienced rep-standard forward mentors and Webster generally doing a good job building the Warriors I reckon we'll see Halasima get closer to his potential than what we've seen from Fifita so far, which is exciting and terrifying as an opposition fan.

Add in Vaimauga, Laban and the production line that will follow from their domination of junior pathways comps since re-entering post-covid, the Warriors have the potential to become the next Penrith if managed correctly
 
Interesting rumour on the LU rumoured signings thread with Selwyn Cobbo to raiders rumoured. Would be crazy if true, nobody deserves to be replaced over there at the moment

That doesn't make any sense at all, he's replacing Fogarty? 🤣
