GROAT & PUNA TO TRAIN UP A STORM--- from the Easts Tigers FB page Suzuki Easts Tigers forwards John Puna and Matt Groat will join the Melbourne Storm for pre-season commencing on Monday 20 November. Groat recently joined the Tigers from the CQ Capras, whilst Puna has been with the Club for a nu...

Galo has gone. I think we are one short. Maybe Groat is in the wings at East.

Dave Tyrell and Matt Groat are interesting pickups. Positives on 2 fronts. First, good to have the young fellows playing with 2 NRL forwards each week. Also, if we get in strife with injuries in the forwards, one of these could be a stopgap . There was talk on this forum a few weeks ago of us lookin...

Jahrome Hughes is going to be a star. 1. Hughes 6. Munster 7. Croft 9. B. Smith there is the next 10 years sorted. Yep- I am happy with that spine. I am also enjoying - as others are on 'this forum - the disruption being caused within Sydney clubs as the teams fall over themselves to nab Cooper. Lo...

Very happy to have Sandor on board. It nicely balances the list from this season( I am assuming we have signed up Billy Walters, Lachlan Timm and Harry Grant ). Kasiano for McLean Hoffman for Harris Walters for Griffin P Kaufusi for Rochow Geraghty for Gallo Papenhuyzen for Cronk Earl for Hawkins Ti...

It is a great shame he has gone, but he left a great legacy. His GF was huge - really important hitups both deep in our back half, then on the attack, especially in the lead up to the match-winning Finucane try. I wish him well at the Cowboys. He will always be remembered as a significant contributo...

Although we have sold a home game v GC, it seems we play 3 "away" games at neutral venues - Dogs, Tiges, Roosters . A couple of those early on. So though 13 games away from AAMI, only 9 at hostile venues. Sorry, my error. The Roosters sold their 2017 game against us, but next year we have...

My guess is they were thinking potentially at 6 , with Munster at 1 when Bill retires. He played mainly at 6 in Qcup. However Hughes did so well at FB this season, that they may leave Munster at 6. Not sure where that leaves Scott Drinkwater.

Very pleased that Hoffy is back.

At the time 2007 was an amazing season. The team lost only 3 games, had a bigger points differential than this year, and won all 3 finals easily. So I think that team was the best we have ever had. However , given the age of the big 3, the farewell for Cooper, the comeback of Billy, the records of C...

I watched it again last night . Not getting sick of it at all !

In the interests of accuracy, I note re point 3 above that after 3 tackles we had only advanced to our 10m line.

The Cronk tackle ( point 7') was an absolute pearler.

As always, thanks ALX22 for keeping us up to date re the youngsters. Cheers.

Having watched the GF for the fourth time last night ( I expect to be in double figures by the end of the month ) , I think there was a key 3 minute period - from around 59 to 62 minutes - that won the game for us. Cowboys were down 18-6, but attacking. They got a repeat set due to a touch by Dale. ...

The forward depth concerns me a little if injuries hit. Hopefully Kasiano proves me wrong and NAS take another step in his development. Think someone like Tui Kamikamica could have a real crack at a bench spot too. And yes to Smith off the bench. Don't forget we get Welch back. Myles . Kasiano . P ...
