I think Seibold is a big fan of Jazz. Not so sure about Simkin. If you go back to late last year when Croker came back from injury, everyone thought Simkin would drop down to 14. But that was not the case and Seibold opted for Gordie at 14 instead. So am not sure if Simkin gets a start in a few...
I liked the way Jazz Tevaga played recently against the Poms....at hooker. While Croker is out he will likely start at 9 with bench backup from Gordie / Simkin. With Croker back, I think he will be our 14 as he can also cover lock. Seibold obviously likes him also.
“Jazz has played in finals...
Depends on how quickly young Walsh and Onitoni step up to the plate. Remember it was about this time last year we all watched a very young Lehi Hopoate debut in the trials and by end of the season he was a sensation at NRL. It would not surprise me to see both these kids shine through in a few...
Good post @Dion. I am hoping Taukehaio steps up as that dominant middle we have been desperately missing since Addin / Tapau days. Also hoping Simkin / Croker / Tevaga strike up a strong partnership for that 9 position. Love to see young Patolo compete with Ben T for that edge position. Also...
Try of the season for mine. Semi final, loosing the game with minutes to go, he then wins the game for us. Brilliant try. This kid is only going to get better. Just needs the coaching to go with him with smarter plays, game plans. We just need one or two per game!!!!
I am not privy to the specific role here but more to the generic role. With the wealth of multi media tools available these days to most marketing and promotions people, it means you can get out to more people and more specifically targeted demographics much quicker and much better. So for...
Not at all. You will find the old JD for Wayne is significantly different to the new JD for Chris Warren. Horse and cart v motor vehicle. Wayne's old job (as defined by it's JD and Job Goals) no longer exists. The old Wayne role is well and truly redundant.
I agree @Bearfax. I was actually there that day as a young kid. Biggest boilover I have ever witnessed in sport. No-one expected the Tigers to win.... including the Tigers fans. The Souths forwards were a deadly machine that year ++ with the likes of Sattler, O'Neal, Coote, McCarthy, Sait...
@mickqld I thought you were talking about 1969. There were really only three teams in it that year (Saints, South and Wests). However despite this the mighty Balmain Tigers won the comp that year in a boilover. Re tribalism and passion....plenty of this in my family today and we are spread...
Definitely a possible in 25. Probably a probable. We have had some good buys with solid experience and some outstanding youth which combined I think will complement the team this year nicely. We just need some luck with injuries and some smart(er) / gutsier decisions with coaching and individual...
The more disturbing aspect for mine was the almost non existent "sentence" handed down by the local Magistrate. This guy is supposed to reflect community values. Instead it wreaks of reverse racism..
I like Gordie and I would have him as my 14. I like his passing and running game however the pre-condition for selection in 1sts would be a real improvement in his tackling technique. I think this lets him down and I would be insisting he goes low every time and not worry about trying to wrap up...
What an incredible list. If I had to pick my best 2 starting centres of all time I would have to go Jamie and Snoz. These guys seemed to glide over the park with feet barely touching the ground. Bozo best at 5/8 for mine.
I am actually quite optimistic and positive with the management and coaching team now in place. Really impressed with both Tony Mestrov but also Anthony Seibold. I "failed" Seibs for his 24 performance on some very specific points that I don't think he adequately addressed but overall really...
I agree with you on this point. However that is a fact of NRL life and is the cost of having high quality guys in the remaining 13.... to seriously compete against the 17 selected. I wish we had more Tommy Talaus in the 13.....not less. I would like to have more of what you see as an issue!!!
I got your point but I think you may have missed mine. By your logic then the club has issues with the 13 players NOT picked EACH WEEK for 1st grade. I don't think that is the case and I don't think that is an issue. I do agree however that if this was to continue for an entire season then yes...
Good to see you back on here @Woodsie. Yes it's a valid question raised. There are actually two issues here. One is real and the other one I suspect is not. One real issue is financial. Where do the dollars come from for the inevitable and looming upgrades required for Lehi and for Tommy Talau...
Much more than the IT Team. Corporate "Digital Teams" have evolved more from the traditional Marketing and Promotions people rather than the IT folks. Today they are a young and very sophisticated go-to-market group critical in most organisations. For the Eagles, their brief might be for example...
I mentioned in a another thread that Chris Patolo will be a surprise package in 25. I would like to add Siua Taukeiaho to this. If both these guys can stay injury free, I think they will make a huge difference to our pack. Both (unfortunately) have some bad history with injuries so fingers...
