    Will DCE go to the Dolphins?

    I guess someone has to do it so here I go. .The Dolphins are going to be the seconds Brisbane team and Bennett will most likely be the coach. Do you think DCE will want to and be permitted to go there in '23. Yes he is under contract with us until Nov 1 '23 but maybe he wants to finish his...

    And we all thought wrong.

    From an article by Brent Read posted by GE in the signings thread a few minutes ago. Thanks GE. “We all talk about November 1, but you can talk to players any time you want. You just can’t table a deal until November 1 and put a deal in front of them.

    The Shoo

    Foran is with us for another year and my guess his main purpose is to aid in the skills development and culture of our young guys...and I feel he has done a great job this year. I imagine his main target has been the Shoo. They are pretty tight and I applaud Des. While I believe Josh has grown...

    It's time for DCE to step down from SOO duties.

    Like Killer did. I think it is in the club and DCE's best interests. With Slater coaching the Toads next year DCE will be on a hiding to nothing. The club also needs DCE to play the NRL games when SOO is on as we lose Tom and Jake...and possibly others next year. DCE should be concentrating on...

    Missed tackle

    We now have statistics up to our ears. I think any stat used on it's own is generally misleading and can be used to backup an opinion, making something appear far from reality. "Lies, damned lies, and statistics" Anyways, I saw a post today about a players' tackle stats...specifically missed...

    How things can change so dramatically so quickly.

    It was only 6 weeks ago that we were worried about how we would fill the spots if Des' choice 17 were injured. Fast forward to last week when we have had Davey, Aoli, Walker, Sirro, Suli, Jetski injured and Marty out for a week for HIA. All second-string replacements were fantastic and we had a...

    Devel contract players eligibility

    I read yesterday that we are supposedly applying to the NRL for Zac Saddler to be eligible for FG. He is on a Devel contract and is continually named in our game day 21. Why are Devel players allowed to be named in the 21 if they are not eligible to play? Sounds very NRL to me. Can someone...

    King pleads guilty to 'hip drop' ahead of judiciary hearing

    How can you plead guilty to a charge before the charge and grading have even been determined? Something smells fishy here.

    I admit it...it's time for a rebuild.

    I guess i'm a slow learner but I finally see no other option. It really is time for a rebuild. e won't give this comp a shake until DCE's millions are gone, especially after the stupid money we just upgraded Tom and Jake to extend. Start with a 9 and 7 and hope that Tom, Fainu, Schuster etc come...

    Our salary cap restraints.

    We are in a section of the NRL landscape that does is not proliferated with big bucks as far as sponsorship and TPa's are concerned. Yeah, we are a proud and successful club... but we are not a corporate dream sponsor unless they are one of us and they do it for love. Sound familiar...

    On field calls.

    One of my biggest gripes with the advent of the bunker is the ref's on field call. There are many situations where the ref is unsighted and/or relies on a touch judge to form a "ref's call" decision, which then supposedly requires cast iron proof to overturn, or even worse still "bunker...

    Stripping rule

    All this 3 man tackle, then 2 drop off choreography with stripping intention has to stop. It is a big part of the wrestle slowing down the ruck that needs to be gone. One on one strip allowed IF there was only ever one in the tackle.

    9's Competition

    Paul McGregor came up with the idea of a 9's competition for the 30+ squad members that don't make the 21 each week. I think it is a good idea, maybe even just a 40 minute 9's game in conjunction with each NRL match, either before or after each NRL match. It will do wonders for the fringe...

    A bit of levity

    We are consumed with the coming season so here's a lightener. Who is your most disliked sportsman? Most here will probably agree that Scam Smith is the run-away rugby league villain but who really sh1ts you in other sports? For me it is Ben Stokes. Hardly surprising an English cricketer...

    Who's next to join the band?

    Des and now Crusher. Who else will reunite now it appears some of the bridges are only smouldering instead of blazing. Donny is odds-on to return as our strength and fitness coach, Tooves is rumoured to be ordained as head of junior development, Matty Ballin appears likely to come in somewhere...

    "dislike" and "disagree" buttons
