    Missed Tackles in the NRL

    Just on tackle stats, it is harder to work out in the modern game due to tackle techniques and the rewards for 3rd and 4th man in.... Old stats were earier as low tackles were the way to go "they can't run without legs" Today the initial 2 contacts are high to lock up the ball with extra's then...

    Lodge, you Monster

    Lodge - “He was keen on me and I was keen to be back with Wayne from our time at the Broncos. C'mon Lodgy - 1 minute you always wanted to be at Manly and never leave, next second its "I wanna reunite with Wayne" .....in between that there were 2 or 3 other clubs apparently in the mix, so it...

    2025 Bolter

    I'm keenest on the Large bros - but more likely that's 2026 .... I reckon Hoppa will kick on great in 2025

    Is the comp more even in 2025

    Have seen in recent years aside from Penrith dominating, that by mid season it gets pretty obvious which 2 - 4 teams will fight it out ..... mainly Penrith who have dominated and though will no doubt again be in the mix, personally feel they may do it tougher than many pundits predicting they...

    Trial V Wabbits

    I get the resting top line players, but I really reckon that right edge should be looked at early. As in, I'd be getting Ben Turbo and Patolo going at it hard and trying to impress. Resting Ben shows he is a definite starter and rightly he should be in the front frame....just see this as a key...

    The Jazz thread ... all that Jazz

    Ya got me on a part agree Bozo The reason is .... the coach can inspire, but I've seen super competitive players shine under an uninspiring coach....at this level the players need accountability within themselves

    The Jazz thread ... all that Jazz

    Always agreed Bozo that the coaching is influential in getting results - no doubt. But .... let's be honest, it comes down to pride within each individual to have that desire and determination....a good strong coach helps this, but I'm of the belief it comes down to the players as the coach...

    The Jazz thread ... all that Jazz

    The Jazz thread ... all that Jazz

    I'm likin all that Jazz A ball of energy , not huge on skills, but old fashion footy values - toughness and grit .... we already have skills, but have lacked that backbone in tough tests in recent seasons unable to fight against adversity and this signing imo, is a recognition of this factor and...

    This young Raiders dummy half looks good - but if Harry Grant about him....never seen him before- Owen Patty I think his name is

    Trial Games

    That's when there was no salary cap, it's a Massive difference Bozo The Arko days was a jealousy thing The current situation stinks of double standards and certain teams making their own rules while the rest have to play by what the NRL set. I do agree however, it's not a bad thing to take any...

    Trial Games

    Interested in a few players tonight's trial Shark vs NZ Young Jett Cleary who is 19 will get a go and as younger bro of Nathan, be good to see him stamp a home at the Warriors and has an opportunity starting tonight Just another thing, find it ridiculous by the NRL to not allow Large on for...

    Great potential young backrower would have been a get, but I think a done deal elsewhere

    Trial Games

    Big Taukiaho kicks goals and Faulalo will likely play, so could get a crack

    Onitoni Large

    Both these kids have crazy good potential Al, but will add to nothing without the right attitude, fortunately appears they are well on track and in good company, exciting times. On Weekes, I seen him make some stunning runs in 2024 and was personally glad for him, however I feel these "magic...

    Onitoni Large

    Just on Ashton Large He has that much potential played hooker in same team as Antonio in NSW U15's while only 14yo and was 1 of the best player, in fact was awarded the best by many good judges.

    Silvertails greatest ever whipping boy

    I reckon most who have copped critisism deserve it, hell I kick myself up the ass everyday when Im not performing and fans have a right to throw out opinions, as long as its not a low blow or too personal and has legs....in saying that Myles springs to mind and I think I give a thumbs up to...

    The real premiership window - 2027 onwards

    All so true Dion, but as we know with smart accounting skills, I feel often these "unders" are perhaps made up in a financial way's outside of the contract "we see".....the NRL have a funny way of looking through smokey glasses for some NRL sides whilst others get the magnifying glass treament...
