    Jamal Fogarty

    Moses , Luai , Deardon, Brown ,Hynes , Flanaghan , the list goes on with players capable or suited to interchanging between a 7 or 6 role or deft at both Walsh looks an open , fairly free running type player so should have no problems and helped with a bit of solid future experience to manage...

    I was wrong

    ISIS was largely allowed to form because of the power vacuum in Iraq caused by that hopelessly ill judged U S led invasion in early 2000 "s Taliban predominately or gradually were able to have so much influence in Afghanistan and the Pakistan west mountain country with huge amounts of arms...

    Jake T.

    Well , going to have to incorporate Jake somehow next season as i am sure every intention by him to persevere Probably early on , status quo with him starting at 13 but Navale at this stage , every chance of coming on at an appropriate time then and Jake reverting to prop Brown will not...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Looks like the club is fairly hopeful some of the younger 9 prospects can kick on reasonably soon Then there is still Froggy apparently still on the scene but must be some doubt whether he can actually contribute to his previous helpful level Pleased that Turpin was not recruited however ...

    Trump

    Just heard a snippet of the question to Trump but in all due respect to ideally professional reporting , tend to think more on the gratuitous side as journalist must have surely realized the topic has already been flogged to death, a predictable dismissive response , and fully aware how fickle...

    Lyons To Menzies - Face To Face

    Guess a bit understated but how most of the passes seemed to stick Probably a combination of some deft and precise passing and positioning from Cliffie and Beaver having some real good handling skills Beaver did make it look easy slicing through the opening but also there , more as a result...

    2025 - 2026 off season

    But who of note is out there ? Probably better off upgrading [ or trying to ] Koula for a much longer deal and putting a bit of faith that Hart , Navale and the young props coming through now can step up 2027 should be a different matter in terms of quality forwards on the market...

    Turbo to Superleague?

    Understandable to have some doom and gloom outlook when the titles get into the far and few sequence but just for a bit of a reality check , when was the last time the Broncos for instance won the comp - 2006 , Almost 20 years ago , Dogs , was it 2004 , Eels - 1986 ? Especially the Broncs as...

    Jamal Fogarty

    Yeah , i was aware of that Not sure of the sarcasm level there if any and might have lost a bit of speed over the years but take your point , definitely not in the slow poke category Hopeful of the Pies maybe taking out the Big One in the A F L this year , ? Personally rate them no better...

    Jamal Fogarty

    Value for money will still be the most pertinent aspect with D C E for me and falling well short in the general sense . Well at 1 . 2 mil over 8 years and even at one mil for a couple , and again , highest paid player in the comp for most of that 8 year contract duration Some or a few...

    Jamal Fogarty

    That was Damien Cook when he was playing for the Bunnies a few seasons ago You are right with angles in this one but Cook of course was and probably still is no slouch in the speed department , especially over a short distance Recall in any earlier year game however where Manise Fainu pulled...

    Jamal Fogarty

    Not sure but maybe Big Pappa had or does have a pretty decent burst for 20 - 25 meters And an angle tap in the process but of course did exceptionally well to get or stay near him Don 't think that anyone is suggesting Fogarty is in the speedster bracket but always had the impression ,can...

    Jamal Fogarty

    Certainly would have to be a few provisos moving Brooks to a 9 role and more in the up tempo playing mode after Simpkin would say put in a good 20 - 25 min stint in either half Then a utility role also for him if required into the mix Taking into account too that he is a 600 - 650 K player...

    Jamal Fogarty

    Might be the same anomaly as Garrick being run down or cut off by Josh Kerr a few seasons ago Just happens sometimes for a couple of unexpected reasons but not really the norm

    Jamal Fogarty

    Fogarty has some genuine toe as well , well used to be quite noticeable in Q cup games and doubt if he has dropped much at all if anything since then Pretty neat step to evade Walsh the other day as well You would see a heap more club action then me so not really in a position to make a...

    How do we unlock Koula?

    Just direct the marquee player allowance provision to him and again get serious about an appropriate T P A arrangement for him Surely if Turbo and Jake can receive T P A "s , should be the same priority or means to organize one for Koula . Great if Turbo can find again and regularly produce...

    Jamal Fogarty

    Sure that that is the way it is going to play out at least initially Bit hard to make a concise comparison between them on playing styles or benefit to the side at this stage Brooksie still with a good go and show but tends to be nullified against better organized defences Tackling largely...

    Jamal Fogarty

    Should have really added position variation as well as contract , in that Brooks may have to looked at more in a Wishart , Haywood, Starling ? role and be considered in a possible 9 role as well not too far down the track and Walsh really emerging , Fogs doing well and Large a fair bit to...

    Turbo to Superleague?

    Thanks for that , yeah recall now and after your reminder that he played ,and Jet Ski did go well that night and think scored as well Know that Waddell scored at least one Lane must have moved on to his i st year with the Eels in 19 after being with Manly the prior two seasons
