Re: RD 8 - ANZAC Round v Warriors (AAMI Park)

How come Pene not getting bench time? Or big Tepai. Need some punch in the middles.

Re: Round 6 Storm v Roosters

Tremendous performance. This team can do the business at the end of the season if things like injuries arent as big an issue as last 2 years.

Great to see our pack pumping out the metres each week - something we missed last year.

And Paps and Nas to come back yet.

Re: Round 5 Rabbitohs v Storm

On another point, our shorts on friday looked like cheap old school shorts and not made by castore - assume we are still having issues with this supplier?

Re: Round 5 Rabbitohs v Storm

Superb defensive effort. Pezet looks like the real deal - munster should go to fullback when hughes returns.

Re: 2023 Best Line Up

Fair enough - didnt realise mcdonald was projected as a middle.

On another note, what about big Tepai at starting lock? He played there a fair bit for the eels i seems to remember.

Re: 2023 Best Line Up

Youd think Howarth has got to be in the 17 next year or we are not doing well with managing the cap. If he isnt playing nrl next year then its essentially leaving 3 remaining nrl years for 2.5m. Hopefully he gets a solid preseason in and really pushes on. If Nelson isnt on the edge id like to see hi...

Re: 2023 wish list

The main wish for me is another high quality middle. Look at our pack from the 2020 gf and we are a long way off that now which is why we get dominated early in a lot of games. Even with Welch coming back i think we need another big man that can really bend the line. If we get that, our pack could b...

Re: Final vs Raiders

Defense, silly decisions, and no goalkicking cost us the game. The forwards actually aimed up well in first half (jesse snd nelson both over 80m by half time) and we needed to score more when we were on top. Raiders did their homework and knew meaney could be isolated at 6 against big men. Proud of ...

Re: Final vs Raiders

Meaney's forgotten how to kick conversions and tackle, Xavier looks about as quick as Kenny out wide, ridiculous one-sided penalties from another amateur ref again, and we can't defend our own line anymore. Bring on 2023. You are really picking out Xavier as one of the problems here? He has scored ...

Re: Official thread and signing news

I think we need a proven middle for next year. We are getting bashed in the middle to start every game and we cant come back after being a few tries down early. We wont have Brandon, Christian may not be 100% to start the year after an achilles, Jesse is gone, and Josh not getting many metres recent...

Re: Storm vs Eels

Dissapointing night but the fact we are 5th with the injury toll we've had all season is superb. If we are to win next week then the middles have got to front up from the start. We could now face a run of Raiders, Eels, Sharks, GF. If we cut out the unforced errors and play to our best, that could b...

Re: Storm vs Eels

It's a mystery what's happened with Jesse. He had 0 runs last week in first 16 mins before HIA and 2 runs I think in the first half this week. You just can't win a game with your most experienced front rower not taking hit ups. Lodge was over 100m in the first 25 mins against us last week. We've sur...
