NRLW no 6 agains
In my opinion, NRLW is not yet professional enough to have teams coached to wrestle and slow down the ruck, to the point where it becomes an entertainment problem that needs to be fixed.- Scorpio

Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good
How much time is enough time? In Des' first stint, the team finished in 13th, 8th, 5th, 2nd (Runners-up)... then won two premierships in the next 4 years. Since then, we had Toovey and Des v2... both missed the finals in their 4th year as coach and were shown the door. Was that enough time or...- Scorpio

Captain 2026
It depends how many minutes he plays per game next year... Usually you want your captain to always be on the field.- Scorpio

Captain 2026
There are exceptions but teams usually always have their captain on the field... so it depends if Jake continues to play 80 minutes a match.- Scorpio

All NRL Games [Round 17, 2025]
Not sure if it was mentioned but Luke Metcalf has likely torn his ACL, so the Warriors' spot in the Top 4 doesn't look nearly as comfortable now. If the Panthers finish in the Top 4 they will be very good odds to win 5 in a row... and I think I would be sick.- Scorpio

Harry Grant is reportedly on nearly $1 million a year, and the Storm haven't won a premiership with him (yet). We had Api for 4 years, and in that time, we reached Week 2 of the finals once. He's separately been in 4 Grand Finals, won 3 of them, and also won two wooden spoons. Until we get...- Scorpio

Anyone else over Voss?
In my opinion, he is a fundamentally good commentator, in that he calls the play well and he pronounces the player's names correctly. The frustrating part is that he makes a deliberate choice to indulge in a lot of hyperbole and supposition. It is unnecessary and entirely avoidable. Just call...- Scorpio

Mixed night. He could be a very good player but I still don't think hooker should be our first priority.- Scorpio

In my opinion, the only premiership-winning team in the last 15 years that wouldn't have won it if they swapped out their hooker with any other starting hooker in the NRL, is the Storm with Cameron Smith. Several (Souths 2014 and Roosters 2019) managed to win the premiership with a backup...- Scorpio

Game Day: Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]
A few years ago Billy Slater dropped the ball, then kicked the ball after it landed, it was ruled as a kick. It was a really low percentage option, not worth it at this stage.- Scorpio

Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]
The last time Seibold left a club mid-season, they still lost the next 7 games in a row AND secured the wooden spoon in the final round. How confident is anyone that this squad, with the current squad makeup, injury toll, and captain/leader who has publicly telegraphed that he doesn't want to...- Scorpio

There is nothing wrong with having more competition for spots, but in my opinion, when fully fit I don't think that Croker is the problem. He is on $350k and he does not startle the attack of this team. I really don't think our staff (under two head coaches) are silly enough to play someone at...- Scorpio

He may be an improvement... but if he's behind the same forward pack that we have now, then the team is not going to perform much differently, in my opinion.- Scorpio

All NRL Games [Round 16, 2025]
We were reportedly paying him $250k per year from the age of 16. Despite that and the considerable club support for his family, he then left at the end of 2023 for $500k per year at the Tigers before he had played a single NRL game. He has now played 13 NRL games in the following year and a...- Scorpio

Simpkin (a junior Origin player) was also behind Api at the Tigers, and was going to solve all of our problems according to Silvertails. And no one here seemed to rate Api as one of the best hookers in the competition when he played here for 4 years. I would rather we prioritise forwards...- Scorpio

State of Origin, 2025.
Junior Origin representation doesn't hurt, but it isn't a guarantee of a long-term NRL career either. Nor does it guarantee that the player (or their manager on behalf of them) won't just depart to whichever club will offer them more money as soon as they show the slightest amount of promise as...- Scorpio
