    The Silvertail's optimism pulse 2025.

    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...

    One has to go ... who ?

    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!!!

    One has to go ... who ?

    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...

    One has to go ... who ?

    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...

    Wayne Cousins ( Media Manager)

    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...

    Who’s “ stepping up” in 2025

    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...

    A whole bottle?? If you like the Wild Turkey then I would highly recommend Angel's Envy. Much smoother....and smaller bottle!!!

    Left field

    Onitoni is 18 next year and (apparently) at a higher level development than Joseph Suallii same age. He also played Jersey Flegg for Wests this year so no stranger to coming up against the bigger boys. Coming off the bench with Cherry outside of him and Turbo likely other side of him, he will...

    Left field

    Interesting combination. I would say definitely better than what we currently have in the spine and more potentially Premiership winning in 25. Several reservations. 1. Turbo...I would be looking to preserve / protect him more, so I would not be putting him in at 5/8. 2. Turbo again....killed it...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    From what I have seen and heard, Patolo could be THE surprise package in 25. Big statement I know given some of the newbies on board. This kid has already played over 25 NRL games so could be a perfect complement to our forward pack. Look forward to seeing him in action.

    Defence

    This was one of the three big reasons I reluctantly gave Seibs a fail in 24. The other two reasons related firstly to an inability of the coaching staff to create workable game plans around getting Tolu out in the open (kick throughs, chips, cut-outs etc) and secondly, around our right side...

    The Jake Conundrum

    I raised the Jake "Conundrum" about 2 years ago under the title of "Jake - Mr In-Between". The issue of his seriously declining leg speed must be pretty obvious even to Jake. This raises other issues in terms of his contract worth and his position in the 17. Re the latter, I think there is only...

    Good to see you back @Woodsie. .

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    I think that is the secret sauce to how we go one step better in 25. Maybe several steps better. I really like young Navale and this new guy Patolo who has already played a bunch of NRL games. If Seibold can integrate these type guys into our monster pack and fix the obvious issues in our...

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    He certainly deserves a lot of credit for where we ended up in 24 particularly with the forwards that he inherited. So all cudos to him. However I do believe he failed on several very specific objectives that were well within his control. One was to reorganise our right side defence and the...

    That's a good piece of work SE1. Lets hope Seibold has some other options. If that is our "go-to" pack of forwards in 25 then I would say absolutely no chance of making the 8. That list would be Easily the slowest and most immobile pack in the comp. I think Seibold has to take some chances with...

    Bateman

    Fair opinion. I just think he is that tough aggressive no compromising player we currently miss in our pack. Obviously he has that same style off the field and up against massive ego's like Stewart and Benji i can understand why there were issues. I don't think that will be the case with Siebold.

    Yep I think it's there or thereabouts for our middles in 25 plus Taukeiaho. Not a bad bunch and might actually do the job over 27 grinding rounds. Be a good group to "blood" a couple of the young up and commers. Jake and croker the interesting challenges for the coach.
