EXCLUSIVE: Leka Halasima opens on his journey from tennis court to rugby league stardom
“I don’t think there’s anyone like him in the NRL.”

Barnett reckons there’s no one in the nrl like Halasima
Very windy. Hopefully it dosen't take Boyd 70mins to figure out how to use the wind to our advantage like usual

Never mind figuring the wind out. Verse ourselves with what the refs are reffing hard and what they are letting slide.
Play with urgency. Like ten minutes to go and you are down by 14 and trying to claw a win back. Play that urgently.
You could be on to something there.
Since our last bye, we've scored 196 points and of those, 126 - or 65% - have been scored in the last 30 minutes of a game.
Some of those blokes need a rocket in that opening stanza. We won't beat many top 8 teams if we're leaving all our play to the last 30 min of a game

RTS robbed but then again we shouldn't have 3 in the team. I think Halasima is an amazing talent but RTS consistency would have him there. Not like he doesn't have the x-factor either and his stats are off the charts as are his performances with the eye test.Phil Gould names his 2025 Team of the Year

150th for Egan. Hope he has a big one, I can recall in 2018 that he carved us up in the first week of finals for panthers
Im starting to get pumped, less than 24 hours to go
The count down is on!
I know our backs are against the wall, but that seems to be the when we play our best.
Penny to get an early lead, will be up 12-4 at half time.
We score first in the 2nd stanza but the joy is short lives as Penny score quickly to make it 18-10 with 25 to go.
Healey comes on off the bench and causes havoc, with Demi crashing over for one close to the posts. Healey making loads of meters around the ruck, 10 minutes to go and Tannah shapes like he's passing to Leka on the angle back in, but passes out the back to Charnz, who puts Dal in the corner. Boyd misses the kick.
We then have the worst 10 minutes wait if our lives, we get a few shit calls against us, a captains challenge that should be successful goes against us. Cleary goes for 2 2 pt field goals and doesnt get close. Wahs win by 2, Fish with 225 running meters and a shit load of tackles, MoM
Dare to dream fellas!

Slow down brother we gotta get past penriff 1st.The NRL grand final brother
He Needs 8 game to finish the season with the cup team once top squads finished.
No shit Sherlock Barnett.EXCLUSIVE: Leka Halasima opens on his journey from tennis court to rugby league stardom

Forget the present day, Leka is in the conversation for all time unique players.
There is only one player I can think of in many decades of watching that played in the forwards, and that is the great Ellery Hanley, although Hanley was a converted back and Leka would be lucky to ever be half as good as the total Hanley package.
Other than that the only other comparison would be Steven Menzies but he was a different type of player and the only similarity is pace with evasion.....of which Leka has more of both.

Hello ShaunJohnson7
I disagree with your perception of this thread.
5 or 6 people have panned the team and said we have no hope of winning. Those 5 or 6 people are not representative of everyone else. Most people are breaking out their lucky rabbits feet, finding their warriors jersey to wear all day tomorrow, and most of us have plans to watch the match and are in behind the boys to pull off an upset.
I also disagree that we need Sam Healey or we have no chance without him. Sam Healey has played hardly any games of first grade.
Realistically Healey only plays if TMM is dropped and TMM has a ton of playoff experience and Healey has none so the smart pick is TMM.
Me too!
Partly as I had free time st work so decided to watch that 08 game v roosters.
At the end when everyone writes us off with next to no hype we can do damage. Be a tough ask but every teams beatable.
Ps: what time are we meeting up outside Pullman today?
