    Bateman

    I think Bateman would b a huge coup for us in that left backrow. Would have preferred a good young middle but sounds like the club has a different strategy in that department.

    Bateman

    I like your thinking and direction here @Ryan. I doubt however we will ever see Jake an Lachlan as reserves. I am still big on loyalty and allegiance (yes I know) so I would not be interested in ANY of the Fainus back at the club. I wont elaborate any further.

    That's fast. Tolu still the best at 10.56 Looks like we have the fastest 3 guys in the comp. Lets see if we have game plans to match!!

    So far off the pace

    Spot on Maxta. My frustration is that this problem been around now for several seasons. Still not fixed. That's not good coaching. Not a good sign for 25.

    So far off the pace

    Yep good call. Definitely need to change a few things to go a few steps further in 25. Be interesting to see what the coach comes up with. We all have front row tickets!!!

    Croker

    Both lachlan and jake are my two favourite players in the side. Unfortunately they will be the same two players with the biggest decisions hanging over their heads for 25. Don't envy Seibold one bit but I think the required changes are becoming more obvious each day.

    So far off the pace

    Bear there was absolutely no doubt in my mind that Reuben had / has serious defensive issues out wide. Just from watching the games. The more intriguing question in my mind is what Seibold will do about it for next year. Persevere? Change? I would definitely go the latter ala Zac Lomax and shift...

    Move Heaven and Earth...

    Sadly I agree. I have posted several times on big Taniela. Love the guy but he is unfortunately not our man in the middle. He cannot carry or inspire the team when the chips are down. He is not a leader. He is at best a support act and even that is inconsistent. For example, he was MIA for the...

    Lehi the 1 Turbo centre

    I think Hoppa to FB is an inevitable move just a question of when you press the trigger. Lots of benefits here. Firstly just in preserving Tom as far less running required at centre v FB. Also he seems much more comfortable at Centre...less pressure less focus?? Definitely running like his old...

    Move Heaven and Earth...

    Yes pretty obvious for anyone who has watched any of our games last couple of seasons. We desperately need a dominant mobile middle forward (or two). Even more obvious after watching the Tonga v Aus game last night. Taniela is our main go-to-middle and he looked seriously pedestrian and way out...

    Move Heaven and Earth...

    This quote if accurate says it all. Not a good mindset. I would be looking elsewhere for our middle bull.

    Bateman... no, no, no, no, no

    We might agree to disagree on this one @Ryan. Yes he looked somewhat out of shape but I thought he played well and had a a really good presence and involvement out there. Harassed the hell out of the opposition in defence and took the ball up with gusto. Not sure his stats were all that good but...

    [Resurrected] Paseka

    I think best to stop assessing Taniela based on expected or potential performance and start assessing on actual performance. Best for all our collective health and frustration. Based on actual performance he is pretty good and would definitely be in my 17 each week. He is just not that leader of...

    Bateman... no, no, no, no, no

    I must say Bateman he did play well for the Poms the other day. For Samoa, I thought our new recruit Jaz Tavaga also played very well. Great defence, good passing and always looked to run from dummy half. Could be an astute buy.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Fingers crossed. I would be a very happy Eagle if they announced the signing of one Leo Thompson. The rest is all in-house.

    2025

    Sounds like you are happy with our 24 performance and that's fair enough as we all have different standards. And yes I agree a definite improvement on 23 as we made the 2nd week of the finals. However I am far from happy with our overall performance during the year and particularly towards the...

    2025

    Unfortunately this plan did not work in 24 so lets hope he creates a different plan in 25. Clearly we have some problems within our forwards and a good part of the problem (unfortunately again) revolves around Jake and Croker. Not in defence but it's very obvious in attack. We struggle here in...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    A dominant middle forward and a legitimate hooker. Simkin I think would solve the latter but not heard anything on the former. That would give us a premiership winning team.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    I think the Seibold connection and the coaching personality will make this move a major success. Bateman is an interesting character who I have always thought needs interesting management. I would classify his last two coaches (Sticky and Benji) as blunt hard arses ala their way or the highway...

    Mestrov outlines future

    I think you will find that the 55% is gross...not net. Most NRL franchises are struggling to cover the balance of operating expenses such as admin, marketing, management, cost of loans, other OH etc. The after-tax NET profits are usually quite negligible and confidential given they are owned by...
