    I've ignored him... First person I've done on this forum. Just ceaseless negativity with zero substance. I know a lot of people have ignored @BOZO , but I could never, as I'd miss out on absolute gems like that Mestrov milking image that I cannot get out of my head. I can't even remember the...

    Hass goes to market

    Haas Re-signing with the Broncos Given he's taken himself back off the market, what middle forwards should we target for 2027? We should have maybe $1.2 mil or a bit more to spend. Paseka is on $600k as a rough guide. All props off-contract in 2027: Jake Clydsdale, Jesse Colquhoun, Harrison...

    What will Dollars do for the second half of season?

    DCE has never brought us into the Top 4 without Foran. He has only brought us to finals without an organising five-eighth twice (2019 & 2024). We have had a continuous symptom of massive leads being conceded seemingly out of nowhere, which started appearing again in 2023 with the Cronulla win...

    Number 9 - when will they learn.

    I've preached this before, I'm pretty sure he's off contract right now, and we we had red hot cracks at both Starling and Brailey. Liddle would cost similar, so we have the cash for it, and likely the desire. In terms of hooker roster spots, GCKT is off-contract and unlikely to be re-signed...

    Luke Brooks - the plate is hot

    I honestly believe that Humphreys would've been a better partner for DCE over the past 18 months. He's actually a game manager in the Foz/Green mould. That's what DCE started with, and will always need. Hence, I don't think the Roosters will make the finals with DCE/Walker. DCE/Savala will be a...

    Pre-Game Titans V Manly [Round 15, 2025]

    Brooks is playing poorly, because he effectively has to game manage in absence of DCE doing it. DCE had a period coming off Origin last year, where he clearly had an injury. As a result, he played very conservatively, and just did what he had to do, steering the team around, and nothing more...

    Pre-Game Titans V Manly [Round 15, 2025]

    Predicted team... Can't I just fast forward to 2027, when we have Haas and Fogarty? 1. Turbo 2. Saab 3. Koula 4. Garrick 5. Talau 6. Brooks 7. DCE 8. Bullemor 9. Croker 10. TKO 11. Olakau'atu 12. Ben (never move him to the centres again) 13. Jake 14. Faulalo 15. Tevaga - covering hooker too if...

    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.

    Burbo

    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...
