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

    The refs have put the whistles away for the finals. Regular season games are officiated differently to finals games and SOO. Expect a fast free flowing game. Could possibly play into the roosters hands with their quick line speed not getting pinned. Could also open up the field for our edges...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Really needs to works on his agility, getting to his feet square at maker to own the ruck area and discipline conceding silly penalties. If he can get the above in order we have a great player in our ranks and can make a name for himself. Just needs to tweak a few things

    Looks like no camp for the boys this week

    Pre-Game Chooks V Manly [Finals Week 2, 2024]

    I’m hoping Radley plays. He will be a defensive liability with that busted shoulder. Tommy would only make 4 tackles a game so he can get away with it but Radley making 40 tackles will really test him. I would be getting Hmole running at him all night

    He is very poor hitting the ball up, especially out of our own end which is a major attribute of a winger. Gets picked up and driven back every NRL game

    Lodge, you Monster

    Was looking forward for his contract ending giving us $600k to play with. The only reason I can think we resigned him was that it was a cut priced deal. From memory it was a 3 year extension which indicates a low value offer from the club but peace of mind and security for Aloiai. If it was is...

    We wouldn’t have signed Aloiai on big money. Especially the multi year deal we gave him. Makes no sense for us to dangle the multi year carrot unless it was for a discounted deal. We are definitely in the market for a starter but who knows who it will be

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Based on the article could only be Tigers, Sharks, Dogs or us. No to South’s, Saints, Roosters and you would say Penriths cap is full. I would say we’re in the market for a decent middle along with a back rower. Just not sure we have the funds for him, would be a great addition though.

    Pre-Game Manly V Sharks [Round 27, 2024]

    With Nico back in the Sharks line up I can see it unsettling things a little for them. The Sharks have been playing pretty well without him running very direct through the middle. Nico will want his hands on the ball especially leading into the finals. Effectively taking opportunities away from...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    He is 1st grade quality and ready to crack the big league. Would it really be fair on him to keep him in reserve grade when we have DCE and Brooks in front of him. It’s hard for us to forecast the DCE succession plan as he wants to keeps playing. Humphries was the man for the job but the...

    Jake Simpkin signed until 2026

    Not really, we have payed next to nothing for him for hooker cover. I think this year the tigers are paying full freight and the next few years only costing us $200k or close to.

    Lehi Hopoate

    Lehi will have to be fullback this week, Koula and Garrick in the centres with Talau to the wing alongside Faulalo. Burbo will come onto the bench as cover for backline/backrow.

    Is Luke brooks the piece we’ve been missing

    I seen him at the Dogs game on Friday night and he is much bigger than I thought. Looks like he has dropped some weight as well. Shook his hand and wished him good luck but was taken back by the size of the bloke. Looks primed for his new career at the bunnies.

    Is Luke brooks the piece we’ve been missing

    He didn’t go on with the tackle. He managed to let go once Preston was lifted. Preston ducks his head finding the ground playing for the penalty which is out of Brooks control. I feel the there has to be repercussion for players ducking their heads putting themselves in a dangerous position...

    Lodge, you Monster

    Lodge was very impressive last night. That is the starting combo that works well for the side. It changes so much for the team having 2 guys that can bend the advantage line early. This lays a great platform for the quicker Bully and Brown when they come on. I’m loving the way Seibs is...

    Turbo back.. at centre

    This is how we can get Tommy on a reduced rate over the next 2 years. Sign him on an other 2 year extension on a reduced rate. The contract should have a performance based clause in the clubs favour to cover our arse. An updated contract is the only way for us to move his salary around. I...

    Turbo back.. at centre

    Only way around this is a Tommy 2 year contract extension on unders. Looks like the club is trying to land a solid buy next year so this needs to happen quickly.
