    Aus vs Tonga

    Lolohea might have played himself into contention for another NRL contract tonight.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    It is a bit hard to assess whether Ivan Cleary is an elite coach or not. He has clearly done very well in managing the squad that he inherited in 2019 and the subsequent iterations of it. But in the rather large sample size of his 295 NRL matches as coach across his Warriors stint, his first...

    Club News 2024

    I'm convinced Bullemor will, sooner or later (depending on remaining injury-free), play Origin for Queensland.

    No Room for DCE or Jake in Aussie squad

    I also don't understand why Hunt stays, but he's over a year younger than DCE, not the other way around.

    No Room for DCE or Jake in Aussie squad

    Pretty much the only reason for that is because Billy Slater was ahead of him in the pecking order for selection in representative games.

    Seriously

    Players like Charlie Staines, Luke Garner and Paul Momirovski are no superstars but they are premiership winners at Penrith. Scott Sorensen played under 40 games in 8 years before he went to the Panthers, now is a 4-time premiership winner. There would be quite a few Manly players who would...

    2024 GRAND FINAL

    The Panthers appear to have stable club leadership, with no power vacuum, no outwardly problematic club politics, no internal leaks to the media, and their accomplished coach who the players seem to like is going nowhere. So, the conditions for disgruntled player "cliques" to form do not exist...

    2024 GRAND FINAL

    It is worth pointing out that Penrith have lost a heap of players in the past few years such as Burton, Koroisau, Kikau, Crichton, Leniu due to the same reasons... and they are still racking up premierships.

    2024 GRAND FINAL

    He has done a great job with this current Panthers squad... but he was also coaching for 13 years and 300+ games, with no premierships and something like a 47% win rate before his second stint there. Which isn't really what you'd call outstanding. He wouldn't come here anyway, but there are a...

    NSW Blues & Madge part ways

    Not sure why, being a premiership-winning coach isn't a prerequisite to winning Origin... and Bellamy won 2 (of 9) games in his 3 years as Origin coach.

    Our Centers and wingers

    I'm not saying that Croker is an elite hooker, but do you think Croker is any worse than Mitch Kenny? I personally don't. But Penrith still win the ruck in most matches anyway. Changing the hooker will not be the silver bullet to our problems... just like when we had Api for 4 years and we...

    Walters Sacked

    He has been there for 4 years and in that time, they've missed the finals 3 times. A record like that will get the coach sacked at most clubs regardless of circumstances.

    Walters Sacked

    I'm not sure what's going on up there, but I don't think it is controversial to say that the Broncos have underachieved for nearly 20 years now. Two grand finals since 2006 is not bad in itself. But given the size of their junior catchment, the quality of their squads, them being financially...

    Walters Sacked

    I understand that Trent Barrett will be at the Broncos in 2025...

    Our Centers and wingers

    We have pretty good backs but we lack a Brian To'o type back who never gets ragdolled and always gets the sets off on the front foot... this would help out our forwards as well.

    The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD

    Our past four coaches have had a turn at missing the finals, so us making Finals Week 2 is hopefully a start. We have to improve next year and Top 4 has to be the pass mark. We haven't made consecutive finals series since 2013-14 so that needs to change. Defense and second-phase play needs to...

    Game Day: Chooks V Manly [Finals Week 2, 2024]

    Aloiai has looked a bit... indifferent.

    Hyperbole much?

    Game Day: Chooks V Manly [Finals Week 2, 2024]

    I find it hard to believe that the Roosters have been all but perfect in the ruck tonight.
