I love that we are building more Māori DNA into the team again with recent signings and the development initiatives in Northland. The Pasifika influence is great, but diversifying, and instilling those generational roots is important for building a team that bleeds for the jersey and feels like...

That would be nice. The Broncos have a pretty friendly draw from here, and Reynolds due back before the season end.

I'd like to see him back at the Storm. Good system for him. Seems like a good guy, who I'd like to see do well.

It was the narrative around him that made him a promotional dream - indigenous, rising above his childhood trauma, a clean cut, inspirational role model when Latrell was shitting the bed. I think he has been used by the NRL. There is no doubt he is a good player, just not one who should be...

Given how busted Kieran Foran's body has been in the last few years, it is a lesson in writing off an older player as being done and dusted when injuries pop up.

Sure, my point is that I don't feel the Titans got the reward they earned. It is a rule to stop a single side's dominance, by making the game more of a lottery

Man, I hate short drop outs. Titans do the work to trap the Sharks, yet the Sharks get the ball and then a leg up penalty, followed by another down field. Hate it.

Lussick on the bench means he is part of the rotation plan at hooker. Tuaupiki would be used by Webby solely as an injury replacement for one/maybe 2 positions (who would he take off to bring him off the bench)? That would just mean that Taine doesn't get any game time for weeks. I'd rather...

For sure. The battle of titans up front before the dust settled and the game found a rhythm, only to fire up again with big boppers off the bench. Guys who would try and one-up each other. I must admit that I have watched very little of the Eels this year (who would want to), so haven't seen...

Doesn't this illustrate the changing face of the NRL? RIP the prop of old, hello homogenous, mobile builds and a redistribution of cap into other areas. Long in the tooth might be arriving a lot earlier for players now too.

I could imagine a CNK/RTS swap to give both of them a bit of a incumbent position breather from a tough couple of weeks

I've watched a lot of Hayze Perham, and have found his skillset to be very limited.

He was paid for a year he wasn't even contracted for (player option). The anger was that, and that our owner had allegedly done something so dodgy that we were having to pay out a huge part of our future cap to keep it hushed up. With Lodge, O'Sullivan and Moses involved it was probably worth...

What specifically do you disagree with? My points - 1. You are better to let go of a player that doesn't want to be at a club (even though it is a kick in the teeth to your chances of success) 2. From a social perception/sense of justice POV, isn't it just a little bit satisfying for a fan to...

You know that is a different scenario entirely. Your cap is still invested the way you planned, you still have a squad you have engineered. Sure if Cleary, Ponga, Hughes, DCE etc get injured a team can put in a plan to bridge the gap. Their clubs would be in a funk if if one of them decided to...

I totally get that you are usually better off to release a player who doesn't want to be there. Isn't it quite nice to see a rugby league player held to a contract though? The timing of his release request was diabolical. Clubs work so hard to structure their cap, and line things up for the...

I've just realised he got the jersey numbers wrong - duh. It was Laban for 'kicking' the tryscorer, and 'striking.' Sent "18" off and pointed to Laban in 10. He was trying to stop the try by blocking with his legs from my perspective, but I get the refs interpretation now.

Thanks for that. A way better angle, and yes it deserves a week. Lol at the 'kick' suggestion though.

They should give judiciary credit to Laban. No surprises that Sifakula's ridiculous sin bin for striking wasn't even charged either. I reckon the lack of footage on Ale was a convenient escape from embarrassment for the NSWRL as well. A lot of people are denouncing the aggression of our young...
