Is a positional change on the cards for RTS? I think it’s a certainty. https://www.nrl.com/news/2024/07/03/wing-switch-an-option-as-webster-seeks-increased-role-for-rts/

There is an element of ‘Build it and they will come ‘ with expansion. League is riding a wave of popularity at the moment so strategically it’s the right time to pull the trigger. The more time expansion sides to get to ensure the back office locked in and the foundations of a solid base to...

I think Laban will get a downgrade due to him smiling the whole time Corey was throwing bombs. 🤭

I’m suprised more posters haven’t offered up RTS to the Wing in place of Montoya. I think the challenge this season is RTS hasn’t been put into gaps from his inside men and is crowded as soon as he takes a pass. His running meters are still top draw. His returns from kicks would be very...

You don’t lose 66-6 if you are united as a team and playing each other. AW does not like making big changes to a team list, but pleeeease use the bench more effectively. I’d love to have Taine Tuapiki in the side, but unless he’s playing FB I’d rather not name him. CNK RTS MGT Pompey DWZ...

A lot more at play this weekend than meets the eye. The Broncos, Cowboys, Dragons and Knights have the bye which is an automatic 2 points. The first 3 are a point ahead of us on the ladder, the Knights one point behind. We def need to win this game.

With the NRL openly stating the desire to take Rugby in NZ head on, the time is now. Rugby is in a rut and giving the code time to get their house in order will only make this ambition harder. On the back of the current Warriors support country wide a 2nd NZ team would be the way to go. The...

Any expansion into NZ is positive. It should increase the pool of players and not the opposite. Any expansion side out of ChCh would probably comprise of at least a NSW cup side in the first season, probably an 18’s too if they want to be strategic with development and talent identification...

The Perth development is interesting, along with the potential association with the Newtown Jets and not the North Sydney Bears. North Sydney seem intent on becoming ‘The Bears’ regardless of where that may take them which might be a put off for any Aus expansion. Perth being associated with a...

I wonder if Dynasty would have any issue supplying the new ChCh based franchise?

Here’s the ladder going into this weeks match.

…and aged 10 years! You would be forgiven if you thought it was a different guy with the same name!

A 3rd ChCh based consortium in the mix is interesting. I hope whoever misses out can work in with the unsuccessful bids to maximise potential sponsor / pathways etc to ensure the best chance of success. I’d like a Christchurch based team to incorporate red and black in their team colours.

Will have to keep a close eye on the outside ball to Katoa for the quick flick back inside to the FB running through the 20cm gap.

Tonight the side looked balanced. Middles are strong, Edges are tough, lock has speed and skill. The backs are 100 percent effort. Then the Bench came on and we lost nothing! Ford 180m! Well done! 🙌🏾💪🏾🥳

Going full Lillyman on him!
