    Pause the Pause

    Simpkin seems decent and will improve with game time and combinations.....but personally I reckon humphries would have been ideal to hold as a 9. Yeh ya can't keep them all, but I reckon he looks better than any 9 we have on the books....wish we could add 2-3 years to Large, who is definitely a...

    Trial V Panthers

    Because he is faster ??? That's the ONLY attribute Koula offers over Hoppa

    Trial V Panthers

    Koula apart from his mesmerising try vs Dogs has not been great past few seasons Fact is, only a trial, don't look too hard as most Premiership winners don't nessesarily do well in trials That's why there's trials Then there's the NRL Premiership

    Trial V Panthers

    I'm on a few myself Disco, I like both wingers, plus Burbo Also a few with a Hopps double into some long shots like Jazz, Simkin, Waddell

    Trial V Panthers

    You would think trials are an incentive to entice supporters to our great game long term, which maybe best kids free and tickets for the games $15....maybe $20 tops and this then brings supporters back long term....not just the smash and grab from tonight and just maybe, a bigger crowd at more...

    The first 8 rounds will define the year

    I dont so much think the first 8 rounds will make or break our year, but feel if we want recognition as a potential Top 4 side, it would be great to get out the blocks well. I reckon this season will have many changes of top 8 teams and will be a dogfight those last few rounds to decide who gets...

    Latrell Mitchell

    Latrell is a Massive out and then you add Murray who is an elite NRL lock, maybe the best....and then Schuster who is "still struggling" with "minor" injuries and seems lost in his pursuit of reaching anywhere near his potential, but wish him well and though there are teams I dislike immensely...

    Brailey on outer at Newcastle

    Yeh a few mates rate the Brizzy youngsters big time, but have not played great games I seen personally, but only young and too many good judges rate them for it not to real about their ability

    Brailey on outer at Newcastle

    I doubt we are still searching for a 9, but Brailey is a reasonably good quality all round dummy half with great service Whispers growing Kinights are keen to see him look elsewhere Couple of Manly things- already have a few vying for this role now so depth seems ok, but not at that standard...

    Burbo to lock?

    I don't mind it and in fact.... would like to see them give Burbo a crack for a half at 13 in Fridays trial.....attack wise very good, not sure enough steel in defence to handle it, but then again at 23, Yeo may not have been near as strong as he is today

    Trial V Panthers

    I reckon there will be a few more time liners 1st 40 this week. The obvious wrapped up in wool, till the Premiership opener vs Cowgirls

    Trial V Wabbits

    Taukeiaho ? Easily best Centre Faulolo very solid as always Hoppa just quality all day Simpkin showed will do well Willets good on opportunity but speed not great when in open spaces- great depth

    Trial V Wabbits

    Old Tak played solid front row game Willet done everything and more with every opportunity Didn't like how long the ref took to call play on from that quick tap - 99% of them come back

    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...
