    Run Koula Run

    Yes opposition coaches have certainly worked him out. The bigger problem unfortunately is that our own coaches have not. I think Tolu is a runner ....an athlete first. A footballer second. So why play him in the centres where you definitely need to be somewhat creative?? The bleeding obvious...

    Miserable Middles To Dominate Middles.

    I am still in shock after Thursday night. Our forwards have put in some real inept and miserable performances this year but that one surely takes the cake. Not sure whether it's just coincidence but ever since we extended the contracts for Paseka, Aloiai and Haumole their collective form has...

    Miserable Middles To Dominate Middles.

    I am definitely in the "dislike" camp. The main reason is how quickly he goes down when he hits the defensive line. Absolutely no chance of any post contact metres let alone 2nd phase play. The most embarrassing statistic for Josh is that Tolu Koala has more post contact metres this year.

    Moving forward improvements needed

    Arguably the worst refereeing performance of the season so we did well to come away with the 2 points against a seriously pumped up Warriors side. Having said that I thought our performance was poor with far too many drop balls and way too many one-on-one missed tackles. Firstly our right side...

    Back 5 with Koula returning ?

    You make a lot of sense Al. But I don't think the existing team status quo will win us a GF against either Penrith or Melbourne. Probably will against the likes of dogs, Rooster and Sharks....but not sure they will be our opponents in a GF scenario. Tolu has been average in the centres all...

    Back 5 with Koula returning ?

    It is a tough decision. However I think Seibs has chosen very well keeping the 13 intact and that is my run-on team for the preliminary / GF. However his window for experimentation is rapidly closing and I think that is all around Tolu Koula. This kid got to be in out team somewhere but not sure...

    Back 5 with Koula returning ?

    Well I was pretty close with my team prediction above. Surprised Seibold opted for Ben rather than Tolu on the bench. We know what we get from Ben. We don't know what we might get from Tolu. Against the Worriors I would have tested the waters.

    Back 5 with Koula returning ?

    Good points Al. I just think we have been missing something with Tolu in the centres. Plus I like the backline as it is. I guess we are about to find out what Seibold thinks about that.

    Wild theory/prediction

    There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Moses will be playing for Parra next year. It's all about 2026 where he has an option in his contract to test the market and it's also the same year I think Cherry will hang up the boots. Now if that is the case that free's up about $1m in our cap and...

    NRL’s fastest player

    Agreed. Saab by about 3-5 metres!!! I hope they go with a 100 metre sprint rather that a relay. If the latter we will never know who is the fastest.

    Back 5 with Koula returning ?

    Will be very interesting to see who is selected today. Great position for the club to be in at this point in the season. I would not be changing the run on team from last week. GCKT as my 14, Tolu as my 15 with a roving commission through either the backline and / or 13 right through the middle...

    [Resurrected] Paseka

    He certainly had some presence about him today. More of that Taniela. Well done big fella.

    Mitchell Moses

    I hope you are right. My understanding is that his contract option starts in 26. So the much vaunted 5 year agreement (only signed last year) is actually a 3 year agreement with options.

    Mitchell Moses

    Nick Politis will not deal with Isaac Moses.

    Mitchell Moses

    Not sure about you guys but if there is one player I have a distinct dislike for it's this guy. Nothing personal of course just purely professional. Probably because he plays for Parra and probably because of the way he carries on during almost every single game. Now I am hearing that there may...

    [Resurrected] Paseka

    Whatever happened to Woodsie??? Love to see him back on here. Now his post on Taniela was 2 years ago now and he we are still waiting to see Taniela explode in the NRL. I think we may be continuing to wait. For mine, his stats are pretty good but what I have been waiting to see from him is...

    Is a good loss a thing?

    This is the part that gives me lots of confidence that we can still compete for the title this year. Get these guys back into the team and I think we compete against any of your "Top 4" sides. On top of this we get Ben back into that backrow position where he belongs. The way he smashed Leniu...

    Sea Eagles extend contract of Paseka

    I am Taniela's biggest fan but got to say he continues to disappoint me with his ongoing inability to dominate and impose ANY sort presence on the field. Sadly I think the verdict is out and I think he is a back seat passenger. We need a driver...we need a leader up front. That's not Taniela.

    Post-Game Discussion Roosters V Manly [Round 21, 2024]

    That was probably the most comprehensive spanking I have seen in a long time. Yes some really good excuses for us but what really hurt in that 1st half was some piss poor tackling from some of our guys and some seriously embarrassing positional plays in defence. A couple of our players looked...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Thinking the same. Depending on the price he could be a very handy pickup to replace Lawton. Matterson and Haumole in the backrow would be an interesting proposition. I am hearing he would like to team up with his younger brother.
