Re: 2024 Rd 3 v Warriors: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

Gee this place is ridiculous. Why are we going so well to start the season? Because the club, and it's staff, knows what it's doing. People crying over a team list named on a Tuesday. Trust the process. Blaming Ricky for a team named on a Tuesday like he has just dropped a premiership. 1. It's unli...

Re: 2024 salary cap analysis: What every club’s roster is really worth

They deadset phoned it in on that list. Have a few of the notable rep players on higher values e.g. Tapine, Young, Papalii. The rest they have thrown into a bucket around $400k-$500k. Looks like they just threw the names into a spreadsheet and ran a simple formula.

Re: 2024 Round 2 v Tigers: Game Day

PTB speed is a pretty rubbery stat and there is not much consistency at all week to week from players (see Guler vs Saulo last week for example). I am pretty doubtful about how accurately people are manually able to record it over a whole game, and if a player has one really slow play the ball beca...

Anyone else think Hoppa could play the 17 instead of Guler? Surely he could provide cover for an edge if needed? Do we need three props on the bench? Stuart has slotted him in at fullback, wing and centre. If anything I think he's set up as 18th man to cover anyone in the back 5. I'll be annoyed an...

Apart from the try he scored, he also saved a try but putting himself in the right position that ensured the bunker had to overturn a Newcastle 6 pointer. Very smart play that.

Re: 2024 Rd 2 v Tigers: Teams and Previews

Hopoate had 23 runs of the ball i.e. took on a lot of the grunt work which Ricky loves from his back 5 so I'm not hugely confident he will be the one that will make room for Kris. Hoppa is great at those hit ups from our own end. Unfortunately that's all he really offers. Kris can take up some of t...
