In 2026, Strange, Sanders and Chevy will still only be 21 years old. I’d like to think we’d be up towards the top of the table but they’ll still be very young for spine players and I think having the premiership cut-off date that soon is unreasonable. Strange could have 40-50 games under his belt b...

A great signing for the future. Certainly buys another five years for the coach. And it shows in his laidback approach this year. The last two seasons he has looked like a coach under pressure. Particularly 2022 where he looked a dead man walking until Savage and Woolford came into the side and sav...

Up until now, what we need is a defensive winger and I think cotric played pretty good in cup.
Straight swap there for me

Can't say I watched the game on the weekend and came away thinking we're missing Cotric.

I think Starling has more versatility to his game than Woolford. At least the coaches appear to think that way. Starling can fill in at middle, can sub in the halves in a pinch, and is quick from dummy half. Shame is, he's not particularly good at any of them. I think this role should go to Puru. A...

Roger Kenworthy

Agree with both your posts Bluesbrother and Rickmando. Any experience he can gain this year will be a benefit but there is that aspect to manage with spine players. Not all gametime is of equal value if you aren't seeing some nuance being added.

Roger Kenworthy

Btw anyone criticising Chevy is a goose. All fullbacks have games like that in their careers. It’s a position where there is nowhere to hide. Chev showed great character to keep putting his hand up. He’s going to be a great player, and games like last night actually accelerate his development far m...

Some of the Chevy comments have been a bit ordinary. Teenager in game two ****. They're aren't many critical comments really, nobody put the line through him. He made errors and they were pointed out Agree. It's NRL football, fans have to be able to critique performance whether the player is 18 or ...

Chevy Stewart courageous. Courageous yes, but he just hasn't added anything in these couple of games. An NRL fullback doesn't get by on courage like Gary Jack in the 80s did. He’s an 18 year old for god’s sake. I said that he shouldn’t play first grade for another year because playing games like th...

For a team that's supposedly leaned into its attack this year, we have shown absolutely nothing with the ball I thought it was pretty clear last weekend that the Eels attack was an abberation. We were pretty much running through tackles all night there, which just doesn't happen at NRL level. There...

Roger Kenworthy

Would love to see Savage given a run at FB in the second half. He seems really keen to be involved.

Hmm concerns about Stewart's build watching this. Can't think of too many fullbacks his size that have been elite without top tier speed.

Roger Kenworthy

Kris hasn't been getting good ball outside Strange. Strange's running game has been one of the highlights of our season and he still had the surprise factor. I'm guessing as teams begin to target the metres that Strange makes those opportunities will start presenting themselves to Kris. I've definit...

Dylan’s Raiders wrote: ↑April 17, 2024, 3:03 pm We didn’t let him go - he got a three year deal to play centre for more money. Good player, would have preferred him to stay over Hopa (and potentially Cotric if he re-signs) but we can’t keep them all.

Fair enough if you have the inside word.

Roger Kenworthy

Weird we've let him go while being in negotiations with Crotic. Weird is an understatement.

That was a few months ago now. I'd be surprised if they were still hung up on Woolford.

Roger Kenworthy

Presenting a hooker who is sitting behind Starling as a value proposition is a tough sell.

Schiller's defence really needs to improve. Scores two tries but gives up one isn't sustainable. I've noticed that he seems to end up not marking anyone (Sivo's two tries, Kha-Perere). He has to take someone. He gets caught running after the ball like a dog playing catch on defence so often. It's b...

I think it's at the stage where he'd be taking a substantial haircut to leave the Titans. Yesterday was an example where you want your million dollar players stepping up in crunch time. Fifita was largely unsighted, he did get snapped in half by Ata at one stage. He'll be staying put on the massive ...

He'd be a 100 rating for clunkiness if NRL 2k24 existed.

Roger Kenworthy

I have to say Schiller has a real knack for turning 2 on 2 into a 2 on 1. Just too bad it's while he's defending lol.

What an escape. I was watching about 10mins delayed.

Cotric had a lot of success early in his career and is now playing on cruise control. His effort in the last NSW cup game was appalling. There is still a very good footballer in there, if he can pull his finger out and also remodel his training to become a bit more agile. He's still very young. Do ...

Sam Verrills and I got to the same barber (literally) and he would 100% fit with the culture of the club - is a top bloke. I think we will and should sign Rapana for next year. Asomua is looking promising but still raw and he will 100% play first grade next year but I can’t see Rapana not being one...

Schiller scored 1 try, let in 2. If he can flip those numbers I can live with it. If anyone watches the try he scored and doesn't think that 99% of competent NRL wingers should score that thing, they are watching a different game to me But see that’s not the point. The Timoko try is down to Schille...

That was the most fun I've had watching us play since 2020, other than maybe the 2022 Storm finals win. Brilliant to see the next generation really put it on a struggling opposition.
