Wish he was the defensive coach. He could teach us when to hold them or when to rush out the line to fold them….

I’ll see myself out.

Did you want Woolford to start RR?

Benefit of him playing the first 25-30 mins is it gives us one less interchange rather then DL starting and finishing.

Tapine not getting a point sets a new bar for Dally M voting incompetence. And that’s saying something. NRL and the broader non Daily Telegraph rugby league media need to really kick up a stink about what is meant to be our premier player of the year award. Just came on here to say the same thing. ...

Have a look at Savages stats compared to Tomoko. These 2 seem to be pushing each other.

Both had 21 runs.
Tomoko had 216m to Savages 205
Savage had 86 post contact to Tomoko’s 82
Tomoko 3 tackle breaks to Savages 2
Both zero missed tackles.

Joe Tapine 26 runs 303 metres 134 post contact metres 33 tackles What an absolute beast Woah! Also before I forget, pissed at Hudson and others for our last set in regulation time. There was 2.5 minutes to go Hudson picks up the ball holds it in 2 hands, walks a couple of steps and surrendered. Thi...

I like Badger, but she was far from blameless in that game. Missed the shoulder to Hosking's head, which ended up with Jolliffe on report. Timoko (from memory) with a perfectly good offload that was called back for him to play the ball, and the ruck was out of control in the second half. We earned ...

Rick

It’s bad enough that we have to put up with Levi. It is Al bad enough that we have to put up with Starling. But to have to put up with them both stuffing up our offence at the same time. Please Ricky never do that again. Starling stifles our attack dramatically when he comes on. We even had to chang...

Is Aidan Orford out?

Rick

Bit concerning these talks of resigning Crotic. We don't tend to harp on it too much here, but when you look at his situation in terms of where he was and where he currently finds himself, in what should be the absolute prime of his career..... sad. Perhaps England might be a better option for him ...

The versatility of Hosking being able to play in the centres and Mariota being able to play second row gives us the opportunity to have a bench like we have this week and have 3 big guys on it. Personally with our line up this week I would like to see Mooney starting with Tapine and Papali move to t...

Rick

Well that was a disappointing game. Yep, can't watch it now knowing the result. With referees easing off on the 6again I'm seeing Storm and Roosters really pushing the boundaries in those small grey areas. Holding down in the ruck, slowing things down, stepping off the mark. Those little niggley ar...

Rick

At the end of this year it will be really interesting to see what our full strength forward pack looks like. At the start of the year I thought Smithies playing 13 pushing Horse back into the prop rotation was a blessing but now we have to fit; Tapine Papali Horse Ata Saulo Mooney Into 5 spots. If S...

Was it just me or was Sutton making rules up on the fly? There were two instances in the second half which left me scratching my head. Roosters won a captains challenge for a (non) knock on - which I didn't agree with, but from the scrum he called an obstruction on Smith I think it was and he was w...

I think a fair few of the Strange and Young missed tackles were from the Warriors game where they were targeted all game. I have noticed towards the end of Levi’s stints he starts just falling off tackles. I was surprised as I assumed he was one of the fitter players. Sent from my iPhone using Tapat...

I'd take Schuster in a heartbeat. Needs to be some tight parameters in place and the right price but his upside is greater than any other second rower available and probably most in the competition. His ball playing and skill is off the charts. I'd be pretty confident that guys like Papalii and Tap...

Awesome news.

Papali is Raider 300. Chev Stewart is 396 For a while I have been wondering who will be 400? This year we have already had Hosking, Smithies, Sasagi and Stewart represent the Raiders. I am not sure if that many more, who have not already played, will be given an opportunity from the Cup side. Obviou...

There is a lot of excitement about this team. It's good to see. Credit to Stuart, Mulholland and Carbone for developing a recruitment plan and sticking to it. This is a very young and inexperienced team. If I'm the coach this week I'm completely focussed on executing our defence with energy and ent...

Got to feel a bit sorry for Weeks. From all reports he was a whisker (or a second trial) away from playing 6 for us this year then Strange plays the way he did in the second trial, starts the year how he has, gets offered 700k a year and here we are. Now Chev gets a crack at fullback and he is still...

What happens with a player like Cook if we did sign Sanders?

If he wanted to play in the halves would he have to go back to Canberra Cup?

Imagine Chev comes in and has a game or 2 where he can’t be dropped.

Would be nice to have someone like Rapana in the 14

I would like to see Schiller tapped on the shoulder and be told it’s his spot for the next 5-10 games. Hoppa was given the same opportunity last year and could not nail it down. As others have said it’s easier to fix Schillers defence, contact and decision making than it is making Hoppa 5kmph faster...

I love Tapine and he was good last night but how the hecks does he get the same points as Timoko? Timoko massacred the Eels. If Manu or Crichton or Best or Staggs did that, there’d be six articles on Fox Sports. They don't watch or at least don't pay any attention to the games and then just pick th...

Last question in the Eels post match interview with Brad Arthur was will you look at selecting a ball playing half, say, Ethan Sanders to free up Dylan Brown? Arthur shut it down immediately replying something similar to; No. Brown was good tonight. Everyone else just did not do their jobs. He seeme...
