    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    He can teach our juniors about hard training, discipline, mental fortitude, teamwork, off-the-ball effort, and doing all the 1%ers - all the things he is known for. (Sorry, couldn't help myself. I genuinely wish him well)

    The Finals thread: (week 1)

    Galvin has a higher ceiling than Sexton. Gus playing the long game. Short-term pain but time will likely justify the move

    Navren Willett- Looking Good - tries of 2025

    Tupou is very powerful. Not lanky

    Navren Willett- Looking Good - tries of 2025

    If we aren’t satisfied with Saab, then I don't think Willett is what we want. A slower, less experienced version of Saab with potentially slightly better hands (although I'm yet to be convinced). Again, too lanky for modern NRL. Tall is only good these days if you're powerfully built. We need...

    Turbo to Superleague?

    ESL is in a pretty dire situation currently, to the point that the NRL is considering buying a major share with operational control. It is believed that rugby league as an international game cannot afford the English league going under. An injection of the world's best high quality talent, big...

    Kobe Hetherington

    'Slightly above average' a little harsh. He's a rep player who was being seriously discussed by Slater and selectors for QLD this year. Starting lock, until the last month, for one of the best packs, and is of good age and pedigree. Potentially, Manly have found their Cotter/Gilbert/McInnes

    Kobe Hetherington

    I think the best use of Jake would be starting prop for first 20min like he was used by Madge in last year's Origin. Front load his defensive prowess to win that middle early, and would probably only be needed on the rare occasion for the final 15mins if we needed to hold a slim lead in a tight...

    The Realistic Cleanout

    Talking out of your arse mate. Obviously you don't know Jake, or you certainly wouldn't be using words like 'chasing his dollars dream'. Get real. Tell me the last time you've walked from a well paid job that you loved? The club has to 'suffer' another season of Jake? Troll

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Anyone at that price tag is overrated. Great player, but he couldn't help the Titans in the slightest. Put him in a top side and he, as almost anyone, will shine. Would much rather have 2-3 very good players than 1 "superstar"

    Tommy Talau

    That's what I'd be doing. Large plays right side and is an exceptional athlete. Better get him into grade ASAP before he's poached, and what better way than on an edge with the experience of Fogarty, Ola'akautu, and Garrick. He will be working closely with Fogarty and this would be a smooth...

    Kobe Hetherington

    Finally, a quality signing. About to hit his prime, and been a mainstay in a very formidable Broncos pack. Reckon he goes better coming on from the bench, and an upgrade on Jazz.

    Jason Saab

    The problem is, even with perfectly placed bombs, Saab still can't capitalise most of the time. He has terrible hands, poor coordination and positioning, and rarely has the ability to out-muscle his opposite in the air. Add to this that he is useless at getting our sets started in good field...

    MWSE Squad Contract Status & Top 30 List

    I thought 26, 27 development and top 30 for 28?

    Which of our youngsters will break into NRL in 2026

    Would be great to see Hart too, and the mobility he will bring
