He seems to have slipped under the radar a bit with the great form of Timoko and the rise of Savage, Strange etc... But I am looking for a big game from Seb Kris. I reckon he has started the season a bit quiet and playing within himself. Don't get me wrong, he hasn't been bad or anything but I think...

Re: Newcastle Knights sign Canberra Raiders back James Schiller

This sucks. Knights fans scouring this forum will be thrilled as the best barometer for whether a signing is a good one is the reaction of the fans of the team being left behind. Did I completely imagine something with Schiller relating to attitude and popularity (or lack thereof) within the playing...

Re: A new Canberra Stadium

If Barr is re-elected there is very little doubt in my mind we will be here in April 2028 on page 272 of this tread having this exact same discussion.

This whole thing became a farce many many years ago and the bloke is simply not engaging in this issue in good faith.

Re: 2024 Round 6 v Titans: Game Day

They say that the sign of good teams is winning when you don’t play well.

I am not sure that is us yet but maybe it is a matter of this very young team will have its ups and downs and managing to convert the down periods into wins is a bonus.

There's no one better in open space in the comp than Sav. None. So good Having the lingering threat of that speed and ability out wide should give you more you more space in the centre and edges.

As always with these sort of games, 12 points lead isn’t enough when you’re dominating like this and the opposition is stinking it up.

Re: 2024 NRL Round 5: Teams and Game Day

Souths are a mess.

It is clearly toxic in there and the unhealthy dynamic between coach and players with the favouritism towards the likes of Latrell and Walker has barely even been denied.

Doubt JD can hang on for much longer if it keeps going this way.
