Papalii is an interesting one. He’s been a bit of a let down at Wests. Looks to me like his future may be as a middle forward rather than an edge.

Bring in Joash Papalii from the Dogs as well. Make it a Papalii triple threat!

I don't think we even looked at, discussed, or considered other candidates. A responsible and independent board should have those open discussions. Have we tried approaching Slater/Cameron Smith/Cronk with good money for 2026 (when Ricky's contract runs out)? I like the way how they think about foo...

He isn’t. And don’t call him Shirley

We had a better coach in Wayne Bennett, replaced them with a better coach in Tim Sheens, were a powerpoint presentation from Matt Elliott away from hiring a better one in Wayne Bennett The idea that we cant do better is demonstratably false. And if your best arguement for justifying this is "w...

I dunno why, but the thought that Ricky should have a chat to him just popped into my mind twice I think you're right, but after his comments today that he's not going to sit behind anyone and there hasn't really been any discussion with the rorters, I think RS needs to at least have a chat with hi...

Looked more like a shoulder. If it is the same shoulder... it'll be tough to come back again. :nooo :nooo Has he done his shoulder before? Seems it was his bicep last time. It was his pec. Looked like a shoulder the way they put his arm in a sling, but I’m no medical expert. That information would ...

We are the 1st game same as last magic round this Friday night so not long to wait, If can get into the arm wrestle early with our forward pack with "Mooney hopefully starting and Papali’i coming on later fresh then use our speed men 'Savage, 'Weekes, to set a few line breaks setting up for Ti...

Ricky might be a factor, but I really think it's largely just location. People don't want to live in "chilly boring Canberra". I know some people have the sentiment of "if we just get better as a club, good players will be happy to sign here", but I disagree. As you mentioned, Pe...

It's a long shot but the raiders should be putting the feelers out for latrell. Have him at centre and Kris on the wing, goalkicker, backup fullback. Might want to get out of the limelight, he's a country kid and would be a statement signing. Long odds but worth a shot. With all due respect, I woul...

That list of teams has won 8 premierships between them in the last 10 years. Eels made a GF and Dolphins have only had one full season. I don’t think our results prove we’re just as good.

Try Souths! At least until the bunker agrees. and they do! very much! Dragons 14 - Souths 10 Just confirming, is it Dragons 14 - Souths 10, or Lomax 14 - Souths 10? Dunno. Fell asleep, just woke up.

10 years is a long time, you take it back that far and the Raiders have signed Hodgo, Whitehead, CNK, Smithies, Williams, Sezer, Fog, Tapine, Cotric, BJ, Paulo, Raps in that time, plus a heap of decent squad players like Havilli and Lui. I'd only really swap the Roosters for the Raiders list given ...

No. He’s not keen on such activities

I assume he doesn't really like to move from his favoured spot on the lap, where he has the best view!

HKR - what's the point of making signings if they don't change anything? Well done to the Tigers - they have signed some great players individually but where are they sitting on the ladder?

Hey GE, Can you please explain how the roosters can announce the Fifita signing so quickly.. But we can't even announce Sanders signing yet?? Why is that you reckon?? Are you nervous??

Come on Nickman ease up on poor Blaize. He's only 19 and 5 games into his career. Way too early to be writing him off, imo

To sum it up, Andrew Webster is struggling. How about other highly touted coaches who have come through in the last few seasons? Adam Obrien? Stinking the house down. Todd Payten.

We’ve really missed Rapana. He’s like Gutho to the Eels even though I can’t stand the bloke. We need an energiser bunny who’s just at you all day in attack, defence, dummy half, hit ups, offloads, everything. He’s good at getting Timoko across the line too. Our halves tend to struggle to get him qua...

Whatever happened to Question or Off or whatever he was calling himself?

As anyone actually said "get rid of Chevy Stewart and sign Blaize Tuilagi" though? I think if Stewart asked for a release and we signed Talagi as a replacement, GE's assessment of both players talents might change. But he is greeneyed after all, and loyal if even to a fault. You're missin...

Finchy

Now that I think about it, Talagi wouldn't be a bad signing. His path to FG is blocked at Parra (Gutho FB, Brown 5/8, Moses halfback, Lomax/Penisi centres, Sivo/Russell/Simonsen wing), unless injury strikes (which it has this year). He covers FB, OB, and halves. Worth a call.

Finchy

Love the enthusiasm about young players, but anyone suggesting we give the boot to our best spine player to start next season with 3 teenagers in our spine is a little too excited. Sorry to burst bubbles Well it was suggested we get rid of Tapine because he won't be as good in 3 years time, so anyt...

Finchy

Finchy

If Bluesbrother, who's mates with Ricky, thinks Talagi is a better talent than Chevy, he's may not be basing that on a couple of games and may have watched both for a while. He might be wrong, he might be right. Talagi certainly showed a lot of skill tonight. Let's reassess where they're both at in...
