    Zane Dunford

    I've rated him highly for many years in our juniors. A local product who was captain of our SG Ball team that did quite well with guys like Tolu and Weekes a few years ago. Great tackling technique with high footy IQ. Major injury set him back a season or two. Hoping he is putting pressure on...

    NSW Cup 2025

    Outstanding for an edge

    The Silvertail's optimism pulse 2025.

    Dogs' defence will have them leapfrog us if we haven't improved in this area. We have a top 4 roster but if our defence is not top 4, then we won't improve on last year. Really simple.

    Congrats to the plodders & Nepo

    Instead of being an average to below-average edge player, Waddell could evolve into the quintessential modern day middle forward - mobility we lack in this area

    Pre-Game Manly V Cowboys [Round 1, 2025]

    I'd also like to take this opportunity to point out that as we can all agree that we do not have a top 4 forwards roster, we must be smarter in how we use the men we have. This, in my opinion, is done with the bench. Stacking our starting middles with our best players may seem the obvious way...

    Pre-Game Manly V Cowboys [Round 1, 2025]

    Wholeheartedly agree. Tevaga's strengths have always been bringing energy as a mobile middle forward off the bench, with the added bonus of utility if, by necessity, he had to cover dummy half. Playing him at 9 early, not only diminishes our threat from dummy half - even more so than Croker, but...

    Pre-Game Manly V Cowboys [Round 1, 2025]

    That bench will not cut it. Our middle third will cave after the first 20

    Taniela Paseka ... it's time ..

    It's a shame big Nella doesn't have some of that JWH about him. We have been missing an alpha for too long

    Jake Trbojevic offers nothing in attack

    Certainly needs to bring back the offload into his game. No question, he must evolve as the body slows. But still an astute link man. I think with guys like Chez, Brooks, and Turbo, we really don't need anything flashy from our 13. Definitely need more punch, and I think reducing his minutes...

    Trial V Panthers

    A part of me lost hope many years ago. The other still thinks it's a little too early to be blowing a gasket

    Trial V Panthers

    I must say how I've missed the footy! This place really goes off after a loss, highly entertaining

    Bench for 2025

    But Nella doesn't really assert dominance in the first 20 - in fact, rarely does any individual front rower. During the opening exchanges, dominance is gained through collective aggression, high energy and line speed, and quick play-the-balls. It is always during Nella's second stint, when the...

    The first 8 rounds will define the year

    Given Seibold historically has his teams starting fast out of the blocks, it will be during the Origin period and back end of the season, when niggling injuries accumulate and when the top tier teams step it up a notch, when we will actually see if this team is made of the right stuff.
