    Suli off to Illawarra

    Im not really sure where people can say “he can only get better in defence”... he’s been with us what 3-4 years and has showed, if any, marginal improvement that time? I hope he stays next year whilst he’s contracted because I think we need a full preseason of Parker v Suli battle for that...

    Lawton a gun

    Not neglecting him at all, as I’ve said he’s 1st choice at the moment and has earnt it. Just more commenting next year Lawton may be eyeballing the spot if Fainu case does stay extended until July 20... in which I wouldn’t write him off

    Pre-Game Manly v Bulldogs [Round 24, 2021]

    I hope Schuster or Olakau’atu get rested. They are looking gassed lately and have been consistently playing 80. I’d rest both of them and maybe even Croker, Taupau and Harper too. 1 Turbo 2 Saab 3 Walker 4 Tuipulotu 5 Garrick 6 Foran 7 DCE 8 Aloiai 9 Lawton 10 Sipley 11 Sironen (80mins match...

    MVP: Rd 23 v Raiders

    Surprised to see so little DCE votes. Ricky probably gave him the biggest wrap I’ve seen from an opposition coach in a press conference. His kicking game by far made him man of the match tonight and he really took hold of the second half. 3 DCE 2 Suli 1 Jake / Haumole Notable mentions to Aloiai...

    Lawton a gun

    I think Karl has a little bit more about his game, especially running & energy, so could overtake Croker... but I don’t see it happening this year. Croker has busted his guts, looks well liked by the boys and tackles like a machine week in week out, plus has built some chemistry throughout the...

    Suli off to Illawarra

    Its tough. Parker is miles better at reading the defence.. Suli has proven to be a defensive liability for the past two years... a few good attacking games doesn’t change that as i said above he should become a backrower, where you are less isolated and not the key man in D like at centre.

    Suli off to Illawarra

    Poor reads = poor defending Question is - he seems to play this well when he has a contract on the line... i.e 2019... hasn’t played this good since then Imagine if this was a mad scientist Des tactic to get him going?? In all seriousness I would just make him convert to being a second rower...

    i would say much less than 350k-400k... i don't think the fringe reserve graders are on nearly as much... the survey that came out shows a massive skew to players being on 130-250k

    Pre-Game Manly v Eels [Round 22, 2021]

    Siro looked underdone but needs some game time and I'd prefer him on the field in the opening 15 minutes to defend well and try set up some play in the middle. If we have Aloiai and Marty starting, and then sub in De Luis with Dylan/Siro/Lawton etc we will get carved up the middle by their big...

    Pre-Game Manly v Eels [Round 22, 2021]

    Call me a loony but I’d be starting Sironen at 13 and shifting Jake to prop to start the game as Toff is out for 1 week. The way I see it, we only have 2 big middles in Marty and Aloiai who can truck up big metres and bend the line. Against a big pack with Paulo and Brown, if we sub off Marty...

    Aloiai thoughts

    Josh’s error turned the game and inevitably was what gave them the win. Wow 3 runs in 37 mins... thats so poor... would be interested to see how much ball we had while he was on.

    Can we beat Storm?

    if we complete at 90% rather than 65% I think we are a very good chance of winning. We need to get better at giving away 6 agains. both Josh's need to improve their fitness if they are going to play big minutes.

    Can we beat Storm?

    i agree but that was a pretty off-game for toms positioning. wouldn't count on it again if i were them.

    Suli being circled?

    suli on 550k is way too much. If we're resigning dylan im fine with him going... the risk of him going is more if parkers form dropped off (performances ala v sharks) ... but having walker, tuitupulotu and koula, feel pretty safe.
