Congratulations to the Recruitment boys. This is a very smart and astute buy given our circumstances and at really good value price. No disrespect to DCE but this guy is different in many respects. I think he will promote a different style of play and more of a team approach. Love to see him...
Agree that would be an awesome middle pack that could potentially take us into a GF this year. Will just have to wait and see how Lodge goes next few weeks in Reserves and (hopefully) in NRL. My fingers crossed for the guy.
Ironic that our best 3 middles so far this year (sio, bullymore and...
I think he is a lot better than any other middle we have had for last few years. Bully and Paseka of late probable exceptions. Not a bad a trio though to take into a GF!!!
This guy just gets better and better with each game. One of our best last night and the mainstay of our middles for most of the season. Smart bargain basement buy that I would be upgrading sooner rather than later.
There were two bad decisions against the Eagles in that 2nd half that had a massive momentum shift. In addition to the Penrith 40/20 you mention there was also the Penrith bomb that Turbo took with his foot clearly on our try line. That should have been our 20 metre tap instead of a goal line...
He needs to somehow transfer that emotion (and hopefully passion) to the team this week. I am not sure they can play that badly again yet they only lost by 2 points. I think a newly rejuvenated Penrith will bring out the best in the boys next week. The question is....can Seibold?
You missed the 3rd "secret weapon". That's a guy called Cameron Ciraldo. He was a big part of the attraction for new players and today has got the Dogs playing some beautiful football. They are relentless in both attack and defence. Towards the end of the game against Souths, they were awarded a...
Been referred straight to judiciary for THAT tackle. Saints player that was tackled apparently out for 3 months. I think we loose Sips possibly 4-6 weeks.
Given current cap constraints, I don't think we can legitimately go after a top line prop and 2nd rower until after we restructure some existing contracts. There is no legal reason why these discussions cannot start immediately.
Looking somewhat bulkier / beefier. Would look very good partnering Haumole in that 2nd row. I would have him on the bench covering backline and backrow.
Just heard Seibold interview on 2GB. No interest in Galvin and sticking with our younger guys and current succession strategy. Great to see. Good decision. Lets get our own house in order first and foremost.
Galvin is definitely a good player and (probably) will be generational. So yes we need to be in this discussion with him which "legally" cannot start until Nov. However what is absolutely a far more pressing priority is to restructure our engine room. To do that we will need to restructure some...
I have commented on Tolu before and don't believe he is a centre....nor a FB. I would be very surprised if he played centre in his junior days. I am not sure he has that ability to beat his man one on one close up. Definitely can do out in the open spaces but not in close say centre to centre...
I am an unabashed Mestrov supporter. I think he has done a great job since coming on board. However I agree with you that his on air offer was poor judgement. We are all entitled to make a mistake and that was definitely a mistake imo. The bigger judgement question in my mind however is that...
Looks like the consensus is to leave Turbo where he is. Just as well I am not he coach as I would have most of you guys offside.....and Tom in the centre!!! Fingers crossed for the guy and for the team.
Almost bordering on that famous definition of madness.
After only two matches into a very long season, I would be making some permanent and structural changes right now before the season gets away from us.
Firstly there is absolutely no doubt Turbo is the best fullback in the world but I...
Yes same here. That was one of the many surprises from Friday night. I know he has some toe but failed to put his foot down a number of times where he had that opportunity. Looked injured / reluctant to stretch out.
We absolutely missed him last night and yes we were a shambles....not only in the forwards but right across the park. He may have only played 22 minutes last week but I thought he was easily the most dominant forward in the middle. I would not mind betting we have Taukehaio and Lodge as our...
