tbf we were that way last year. After so many years of being shit, they deserve to have a good year. I think we can all sympathise with that. But the few posters there with half a footy brain know that this is going to be a tough 1-12 game for them at best. Dogs don't have the attack to blow us...
Ciraldo has gotten everything he wanted from uncle phil. Webby made coach of the year with essentially a team that finished 15th the year before. There really isn't a comparison on who the better coach is.
I would be looking to promote from within rather than spending too much cap space on an external alternative. We have the best up and coming forwards in the game plying their trade in cup. I'm sure a convex combination of Maiuu, Sifakula, Halasima moving up to first grade next year can make up...
Curran's got a fair point: this is really a battle of who best imitates the penrith system. They play so similarly to us. This is going to be a low-scoring grind.
We are a great up and coming side. Unfortunately some of our young stars have a few screws loose upstairs. That controlled aggression needs to be addressed if they are ever going to make the transition to nrl.
I'm not expecting any changes to the team.
We can win this game. Thought the dogs were lucky against the sharks. Scored two tries off errors at the beginning but after that, their small mobile pack couldn't match the physicality of the sharkies for the rest of the match. If it wasn't for Hynes...
i don't think webby has nailed our middle rotation yet. Front loading our middles with AFB and Barnett means that we need to get out to fast starts. Otherwise we're fucked when they both come off. Almost blew another 16pt lead for the 2nd game in a row at home.
I was at last years game on GC where the tits played the grubbiest game I can remember for a long time. Resulted in them having a player sent off. So I expect this might be a scrappy game rather than the 13+ win we are all hoping for. Don't care how we do it, we just need the 2pts.
didn't brown get busted for sexual assault and get stood down for half of last season? No doubt he is talented but is this really the type of person we want to bring into our team? Seems to violate the no dickhead policy.
