    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Returned to, in his own eyes, good form today. Apparently, according to the school of DCE, a game managing halfback needs to throw the ball around and do stupid kicks when you have backrowers in the centres, and a 16-point lead. Brilliant. He actually thought his performance against the Broncos...

    Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??

    The head bin abducted Lehi and Talau, and we were left with backrowers in the centres. Sometimes it's as simple as that. Funnily enough, this is exactly what caused us to roll through the Knights last year. AOB clearly told them to attack Burbo for that second half, and that worked. It was as...

    Burbo

    I was one of the people who defended this move. It's a risk but we need to take it. It just so happened Jake was concussed that night and we had the opposite problem... You have to take risks in selections, and I'd be happy to see Simpkin dropped for a back.

    Clayton Faulalo

    I hate being right about players being poor, but was monstered today. On the same level as Vaega IMO. Rocks and diamonds. As I said elsewhere, we need an outside back on the bench. He doesn't get exposed like he did if Waddell wasn't playing centre next to him.

    Not a centre and never was. We need an outside back on the bench every game, because this was abysmal.

    Game Day: Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    I think that may be the difference... If Jazz, Jake, and Croker are off at the same time, I have serious concerns about our middle defence. Always thought Sipley was absolutely rubbish from the bench due to his lack of defensive mobility. Pairing him with Waddell and Brown is a death kennel. 100...

    Mid-season Report Card

    According to the Rugby League project, we have improved from conceding 92.8% of average points in 2024, to 89.9%. Last time we were sub-90% was in 2021, and before that, 2011-2014. Now that we seem to be gaining some sort of consistency (lol) in terms of our team structure, I gather this will...

    [Resurrected] Turbo injury,healt..wait..injury - updates

    I largely agree with your last point, as long as it's 2025 Tom. If 2024 Tom suddenly makes a return, I'd put Lehi back on the wing. Long term, Lehi will be the superior player at peak form, probably from 2027 onwards. Reuben has a strong tackling efficiency for a centre, and has had the most...

    [Resurrected] Turbo injury,healt..wait..injury - updates

    Clearly affecting his acceleration in post, although he hasn't had a game since where he hasn't been affected by unrelated injuries. He was heavily strapped up in his return against Penrith, and although he lost the strapping two weeks ago, he had a cork... I hope this extended break, which...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    I believe one of the main reasons they signed TKO was to bring Paseka to the next level... Obviously that hasn't occured, so I think it's worthwhile to give him one more year to help him get to the next level. Everyone else certainly deserves to be re-signed. None of them will break the bank...

    Pre-Game Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Sipley actually had a somewhat better game in NSW Cup for what it's worth. You are right about the defence, but I think they're hoping Jake and Bully will make up for it. Sipley 72 mins 1 try 20 runs 205m 85 PCM 1 line break 4 tackle breaks 2.71 second play the ball 1 offload 37 tackles, 5...

    [Resurrected] Turbo injury,healt..wait..injury - updates

    Turbo is such a selfless guy... DCE could learn a thing or two. I've heard a few people say that we might as well play him as a Lomax style roaming winger, if he isn't fully there, and this would work in the future if Hoppa is at the back full-time. Judging by these comments, he wouldn't have a...

    Pre-Game Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Sipley has had about five weeks to look into the mirror, to regret tackling someone whilst unconscious, get over the niggles, and hopefully get a bit fitter. I don't mind him there in the absence of TKO and Aloiai. Rest of the team makes a lot of sense. I think having both Tevaga and Jake off...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Can he play prop? LOL this makes no sense. EDIT: This guy works at the Roar and Neds... Hardly a reliable source. It's about the same as me receiving word that Gifty is coming out of retirement to play wing.

    Burbo

    I don't know how you watch that game on Saturday and come anywhere close to that opinion. Funnily enough, playing players out of position doesn't help them! Ben is a second rower, and Waddell is a middle. That's it.

    Bullemor...-----> bullys more

    Apparently, from what I've heard at least, that plan is changing, with Pappy being the preferred option once again. Last I heard, they were nearing an extension for Pappy, from which they would allow Faalogo to leave. It's a bit of a back and forth, but Pappy is having a fantastic season so...

    The Jazz thread ... all that Jazz

    Water-tight ruck. How long since we've had one of those? I like the idea of combining those two (Jake and Jazz) in defence, but I worry about our yardage game. There's two sides of the ruck, and Cronulla just outran us with Jake and Jazz. I wouldn't mind seeing it again though. Personally I'd...

    Run Koula Run

    Perth could do a lot worse than him at fullback. He has a player option for 2027, and no doubt we'll be up against the Bears to keep him. If they give him the sort of money Hammer was given to play fullback, there's no way we will win. That said, Faalogo looks likely to go to the Bears too...

    Bullemor...-----> bullys more

    If DCE was going to be allowed to be paid $450k under the cap by the NRL, then Jake would likely be $400k. I believe Tom will go down to $700k or $600k max, as he'll likely be moving into the centres in 2027. That means it'll likely be a $1 million+ haircut between the two of them. That gives...

    2025 Rumoured and confirmed signings (NON-DISCUSSION THREAD).

    That's in 2029... Quite a while away. Haas and Carrigan doing this right after being flogged by their old coach is telling.
