    2025 recruitment & retention

    Yeah,pretty spot on.. Lenaz is a good defender and worker,he can and does play as a lighter lock forward when O'Donnell comes on and not as skillfull in attack as O'Donnell,they work well as a one two punch for the Flegg side.

    2025 recruitment & retention

    Taking into account Lawton moving on and Humphreys who supposedly had passed Gordie but now been passed back by Gordie with both being not overly impressive(Gordie is going ok ..) If I had a wish list for young dummy halves elsewhere,I would look at Tyler Moriarty from Roosters or Oskar Bryant...

    Blacktown Workers

    This year his defense has been very good,pretty sure every player has a game like that every so often.

    Blacktown Workers

    A tiny touch of Jamie Lyon to his game? He looks like he has a future if given the chance,glad he is signed for next year.....

    2025 recruitment & retention

    You are cherry picking my post a little bit. I am not hanging my hat on Heleta and Matterson as such... I actually suggested that Faulolo(who has an NRL contract next year) and Hopoate(who will probably be upgraded)will step up and Heleta who is currently doing extremely well for Blacktown is a...

    2025 recruitment & retention

    They will probably bring in some guys, but personally don't think it is too necessary For me I would re-sign Lodge,Brown, Waddell and Lawton. We have good young props/middles coming through like James,Navale,Uesele,Mihinui,Mafoa etc... We have young Lenaz and O'Donnell coming through at...

    Bulls are a feeder to Bears who are a feeder to Storm. Had a run in Reggie's with Bears in round 3,guess they are looking at him....

    Daniel Ala

    Contract with the Force is up and has not been renewed. Is currently playing centre for the Windsor Wolves in Massey Cup,might be worth a look by the club to link with Workers...doubt he has suddenly lost ability to play. Edit...Hills Bulls,not Wolves.

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Sorry,but you have confused my point(s).. I was pointing out a guy who has just been asked this year to move into the middle is making slow progress. Obviously it is 2 different levels,and I was pointing out the work he still has to do. As I pointed out,I am not advocating him to be put into...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Just some perspective (as Bozo says). The top lock in the game(arguably) Carrigan averages around 18-20 runs a game and 40 tackles. The other top locks (Yeo/Radley/Murray etc....)run anywhere from 12-18 times and tackles are 33-40(this is not uniform),it can be 12 runs and 40 tackles,18 runs and...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Just some stats,not suggesting anything... Topped the tackle count with 29 and 3 misses,no ineffective tackles. 9 runs for 49 metres and 12 post contact,no errors. Only of our forwards to play the full 80 without a break. Baby steps I guess,hardly Jake like...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    All I am suggesting is that maybe he has been asked to play a certain role and is actually trying to do what is asked of him and is adjusting as best he can. Not saying he is knocking the door down to the NRL side,it will take some time to adjust to the middle,but put him behind some better...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    You have Woods and Bullemor up front and Matterson and Parker in the second row,not the most inspiring pack to be playing behind.
  14. Smokin Joe

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    They do list them actually he was credited with zero...You answered your own question if Matterson was the first up.....

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Topped the tackle count with 28 yesterday(no misses),Dragons best was 29. No errors and 8 hit ups for 61 metres(24 post contact). No fancy stuff apart from a kick. Sort of seems like he is trying to embrace what they are asking him to do.......

    Just my opinion on what I see from him,we all see things differently.

    Tigers can keep him,a lumbering plodder.

    Ball side gets a few guys back in this week,have done a good job scrapping with injuries. Taufa and O'Keefe into the outside backs. Thompson at 5/8 should add some spark. Forwards need an injection though,Beninca off the bench may help,but a bit decimated with injuries .....

    Juniors Discussion Thread

    He focused more on Rugby early,which is why he was chased,could even be playing on the edge with his skill set. There are always ones who get away or overlooked,young Mariota on the bench from the Raiders for example is another in that category,a potential beast,enticed away from them....think...
