Re: 2023 Rd 25 v Bulldogs: Teams and Previews *Page 1*

The last great game Jack had for us was the 2019 grand final, prove me wrong. The fact he won the Dally M in 2020 suggests you are wrong. I am not suggesting Wighton is playing great at the moment, far from it. But I am certain he is better than a kid who has played a few NSW Cup games at 5/8 and d...

On this weeks team, Saulo has been dropped. I don't see this as surprising given his performances in recent weeks. Strange has been dropped. He was selected against the Storm out of position at left center and was targeted as all new comers are by the Bellamy brigade. He is replaced by JC who annou...

Re: Run to the finals

Is that correct. If Cowboys win both their games they can still pass us due to better fore and against? They have a bye and Penrith. The latter almost a guaranteed loss these days Penrith rested a heap of players last round last year against the Cowboys and got flogged. https://www.nrl.com/draw/nrl...

Great article, proves none of us really know what we will get next.

Also poses and interesting question for the next few years. Unlike current teams, it does look like we might have a few superstars coming through in 2-3 years. Will our structure and game plan need to change to accommodate them?
