Re: 2024 Round 2 v Tigers: Game Day

Horsburgh for Guler is a no brainer. Whitehead to bench for Saulo is probably the other move we see too - but who knows with Stuart? I dont think whitehead deserves to come back if I'm being honest. But it will happen and I agree with what you're saying here. Hors in for Saulo if it was up to me.

Re: 2024 Rd 1 v Knights: Teams and Previews *Teams p1

The Knights are an interesting one. When you consider they won what 11 or 12 in a row last year before being beat in NZ, they really haven't been talked about at all before this season. Yes they have lost Dom Young and I also rated Fitzgibbon but they are pretty much the same team as last year. Has...

Re: Is Ricky Stuart the person to lead us to another premiership?

I agree with the sentiments. Great at building a solid squad. Can't coach attack. Passionate in a good way. Passionate and ego driven decisions in a bad way. As a fan, I'm most frustrated with our naive attack. We are absolutely terrible. Surely Stuart sees this as an area that must be fixed. I hope...

The other issue that has not gotten a lot of attention is that when Tapine got hit high by Elliott late in the game he stayed down to make sure that it was looked at and a penalty rightly given to us.

We were in this game from kick off. It really was the bounce of the ball and a couple of very bad calls by the ref which should have gone our way. If Wighton hadn't dropped that ball; if Fogarty had just kicked that goal... This game will do my head in. Anyhow, moving on. I am pleased to see what o...

We can debate the impact he had but he still gave the officials a reason to penalise him. The fact he made no impact on Cobbo just illustrates what a dumb play it was.

The refereeing didn’t make a difference to the result. The Broncos were clearly the better team. Even when it was 16 all in the first half, they looked the most dangerous when they had the ball, and could score whenever they got in the vicinity of our 20. All they needed to do was control their han...
