    Our Centers and wingers

    I saw enough of Koula in year 1 contact etc to suggest he has enough to cut it long term. Agree 100% re talau toughness… that’s why I think with an off-season, could be our edge back rower with Ola.

    Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Round 26, 2024]

    Brown prob won’t start… expect lodge to start and brown to bench. Brown and Aloiai best interchange middle options we have. If only they dropped Brbo for Lawton, we would have best 17 lineup.

    What could have been

    Squad is signed long term which is a huge plus .. plenty of effort from the players, just missing the discipline and smarts when momentum is running against us. 2025-28 is building nicely.. not sure why all the negativity and FYI systems are key in a football season, not purely results. Never...

    Is Luke brooks the piece we’ve been missing

    The left is our attacking threat for the most part… except when they give Saab space to stretch out… big addition when it counts at back end of season. Impressive alt half to DCE and happy to see our squad coming together. 2025-2028 could be good viewing…

    The great expansion conundrum....

    Any chance the png team might actually source a high percentage of png players… couple in nrl now- few playing in England (Ipape our 9 that never was) and kids coming through their future pathways? Bet there might be some south sea islanders who would live and play out of PNG for a chance. NRL...

    Turbo and Origin

    Trbo would be battling to stay in the NRL squad on that effort… underdone is an understatement lol match fitness required... Tommy should give us back some cash in good faith… seriously

    Our missing players vs last night

    For all the negative characters on here… and for the few glass half full (hi mark) types. There is an autobiography ‘one step ahead’ by rod macqueen (systems leading up to the 1999 rugby World Cup success) In this book, he talks at length about internal systems as evidence of team/ group...

    Jamie Humphreys

    Plenty of lower grade superstars don’t get to excel at NRL level. Sure he’s a good player on his day at Blacktown, but no runs on the board at nrl level, so not sure why all the love for him. Arthur has the toughness and enough skill to play footy, there is more upside to him as a solid half...

    Jamie Humphreys

    Humphreys was an ordinary 9 and below average half at Blacktown. He may well make a fist of first grade in a few years, but wouldn’t hold my breath. Good park footballer… bunnies need a budget reserve grader to cover ilias… bye bye!

    Players at or above value proposition

    Some perspective.. We are all disappointed at the loss, however I believe we have had a good roster turnover and a better overall squad than recent seasons. Recall not too long ago, we couldn’t beat a top four side, well on our day we can in fact compete at that level. Mind you, don’t think in...

    Kaeo Weekes

    Like saying he is the best third grade fullback in the comp lol

    2025 recruitment & retention

    Assistant in charge of defence? I thought similar… give him a 18mth role or until he gets the tigers job lol
