    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    Many have pointed out that the bloated contracts for DCE, Tom and Jake have been an albatross around the club's neck. And our results since 2015 bear that out. I don't rate Siebold as a coach all that much, but I actually think our roster management under his tenure has been the best it has...

    Pre-Game Storm V Manly [Round 20, 2025]

    Speed. He is a very dangerous option especially if you can get the ball out against the rushing defense. But yes in general play Talau is better.

    No Haumole named, bugger.

    Pre-Game Storm V Manly [Round 20, 2025]

    If Haumole is fit to play tt could well end up being the difference between winning and losing. I think the Storm would exploit Waddell's lack of mobility.

    Caleb Navale

    From what I've seen of him in FG he struggles with the intensity and can't play big minutes. Hopefully he keeps improving and becomes a credible option for Siebold soon.

    I imagine the Knights will swoop on Brad Arthur and the Titans will get Hannay

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    The ladder is starting to look much more like you'd expect for this point of the season. Top teams have separated from the pack, bottom teams are well off the pace, and a big logjam in the middle. I can't see us winning the spoon this year. The Titans look to have that just about sewn up.

    Does anyone else find it bonkers that we are 1 win away from 5th?

    We are only two wins away from fourth! That is crazy to me given the two losses to the Sharks, and the knights, Titans and Eels losses. We could be first right now if we could just win the games that are there to be won.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Yeah I agree too. TDS was worth a crack as a potential future star, but if we are going to make do with above average players then Simpkin is already meeting that need.

    I agree on your last point about Munster, they were always going to be up for this game. But yes, different selections would have absolutely made a difference. Utoikamanu was ball watching, May would have been a much better choice. Luai has been bog average all year, Katoa is killing it. Max...

    This starts in the selections too. That's why QLD pick guys like Capewell and Shibasaki. NSW pick out of form, lazy "superstar" players. QLD pick workers.

    The series was lost the moment Daley was picked again as coach. Slater has his measure, and we already knew that. It's time for NSW to appoint a coach with an actual football brain. I'd pick Ennis if it were up to me. Game 3 was lost at the selection table. Luai, king and Utoikamanu should not...

    Garrick

    Garrick on the wing doesn't warrant bagging. He has been great as a winger. Long may he stay there. Saab just needs to pull his head out of his arse. When he knuckles down he's the best winger at the club.

    His defense is where he excels

    State of Origin, 2025.

    Jake is the talisman to motivate the team. He can also hit like a train and get the line speed going for the first 20, freeing up Yeo to have more impact for the next 60 mins. Jake can come back on in the prop rotation if needed. Madge did this perfectly last year. I'd have picked Tedesco and...

    Tedesco/Turbo To'o Crichton Mitchell Kiraz/Turbo Katoa Cleary Koloamatangi Koriosau/ Brailey Haas Crichton Preston Jurbo Watson Yeo Leniu Terrell May That team would have obliterated QLD. It pisses me off how stupid our selectors are.

    Robson was a huge factor in that. When Watson came on they started seeing a lot more ball.

    Would have been fine if QLD were also penalised.

    If he had used Watson, Leniu and Young at the 20-25 minute mark we probably could have saved the first half, and with it the match
