Big call by the Doggies to drop Sexton and start Galvin at 7. Playing two natural no. 6s in the halves didn't work out very well for Wests-Tigers and now the Doggies are doing the same. Shame the Wahs aren't coming up against Canterbury sooner as it'll take a few games for Galvin and Burton to gel. Hopefully Galvin will try to hog all the ball and stunt the Doggies attack.
Gus must be back from holiday. I could understand them doing this if they were mid table and planning for the future but they are a top 4 side. Why would you change a spine that is working so well for you? I also still do not see why he deserves the special treatment. He seems a not bad player for his age but is he really that good?
Players are only as good as the team around them.
The doggies cohesion is what has got them this far. 100% agree that changing the team this close to finals is silly.
Sure, it could work out for them. But it's definitely not the sensible move.
Prefer the Cows peg the Phins back.
The Phins are becoming a concern, a big concern. They lost Nikorima though, he was huge for them.
But under their coach they are becoming a team no one wants to face.

Phins spoilled when it comes to sheer speed.
Averillo on turbo boost there (did i read on here he's up for grabs?)....he'd be a good get for us

Jeez that Cowboys edge is getting shredded
Toddy P making his case for a 2025 sacking…
Let's hope Mt. Smart is bringing the slipperyest of dews in a few weeks.
I fear for our right edge against Phins.

Nice little Toyota cup throwback this one, shoulders are optional.
So Kayln Ponga is seeing out his contract till 2027. Being born in WA. My guess is he'll probably sign with the Perth Bears after that.
You just have to aim up physically against the Phins like the sharks did the week before. They are massively short in middle stocks right now, so that's where they are vulnerable. Control the middle against them and you can nullify whatever they can do on the edges just like we did in rd 11. We have the gameplan to beat them. No need to start worrying 2 weeks in advance.
I reckon he will go to the Saudi rugby and take the $$$
Cows have never looked the same since we broke their 4 game winning streak at Magic Round. They looked unbelievable on attack at that pt. Hard to say exactly wtf happened since then and how much of it is TP's fault. TP's decision to tinker with his halves and get rid of Clifford probably contributed. But a lot of their woes seems to stem from the fact that they've had to debut a lot of young kids, especially in the backline, who quite frankly aren't ready for first grade.It'll probably pay off for them in the future, just not this year.
So I'd say Payten still probably has another run next year unlike AOB who is probably gone regardless of what happens on Sunday.

Will need to start working and not just cashing a check for that to happen
If he has passed on the offer at present, And decided to stay put. Then im not sure he'll have the same offer in 2 years time. Them Saudi's are impatient lol
