    The Jurbo Journal - (just a really nice Jake thread)

    That probably is what will happen but as many have noted that did not go very well against the real heavyweights. In my view if Walker stays he should play the position that almost inexplicably he hasn't since being picked as the Dally M player in that role - centre. The other centre role is...

    The Jurbo Journal - (just a really nice Jake thread)

    Jake is perplexing. Manly through-and-through, a team leader, defensive workhorse... but lacks the impact forward packs need in the modern game. I wonder if the same would be true of Glenn Stewart now? But Glenn played in sides with the relentless Anthony Watmough and in our premiership sides...

    Penrith v Souths. [Grand final, 2021]

    One other little regret just quietly - how we could do with still having Api (even if you'd have to say he isn't in an Api marriage). As much as Croker did a servicable job for us this year when you look at the top three sides - Penrith, Souths and Storm - they all have running threats from...

    Penrith v Souths. [Grand final, 2021]

    I kept thinking through that game that there is no way our side could have matched the intensity and control those teams played with for 80 minutes. We would have dropped the ball twice as much as both those sides did in total. I love our team's entertainment value but I trust Des to add steel...

    You and I are on on the same page.

    Schuster or Foran for 5/8th 2022

    I like your thinking but would leave Lawton as the utility because I want a bigger impactful second rower (maybe Davey, Garner or that new Brisse kid) That leaves Harper and Paker to compete for a centre spot. Maybe that means Foran is out or perhaps plays a bit start of the year and we transition

    Fark the Storm

    Surely there's no truth to the rumour that Storm's end of season trip is a booking for Colombia. Munster has been also been announced as the winner of club's prestigious Daily Medellin award

    Fark the Storm

    When they got Andrew Johns on their staff it was quite a big deal but maybe they shouldn't have made him high performance coach!

    Whats happened to Cade Cust?

    For a while it looked like Des was going to do his Ballin- LeStrange thing with Croker and Cust. But Cust got injured, while Walker and Lawton overtook him to be the utilities/interchange hooker. From what minutes Cust played for us this year he was generally good - I think scored a determined...

    Fark the Storm

    As for the Storm's record-breaking, well all the top sides pretty well set records this year. And for the unbeaten run they were record-equalling

    A lot of conjecture .. for no answers

    The Dally Ms remind us that Walker was centre of the year in 2017... and I don't know that he has played there since (maybe once or twice). Obviously we have had other gaps that needed filling but I think it is time for him to go back to his natural position and stay there. Lawton can be our...

    Dally M 2021

    Well done Tom, a credit to our great club. Let's have a whole season's worth of highlights next year

    Shortlists

    We already have a hard-running centre who could be used at fullback (in a pinch) in Walker. Much as I like Dessie's "Mad Professor" tinkerings I think sometimes he falls too in love with his experiments. Walker is fine as a roving middle supersub against teams we matching in the forwards, not so...

    Deeper Analysis

    Yes the year after Des did the dirty, Des-picable, unforgiveable... oh... temporary leaving of his home club to do something that ... well let's not talk about that... everything is forgiven... we won't even mention it (I think someone mentioned it before but we may have got away with it)*... we...

    Deeper Analysis

    I think it's an easy mistake to make because they kept talking about Des not losing any before last night.

    Bennett

    I will be peeved if they win and he has as many titles as us. I don't think they will though. Obviously it is an achievement to make GFs and win a few at three different clubs but at Brisbane he basically had the the Qld Origin side. Mind you how the Broncos are now shows that massive advantages...

    You must be pretty young because I am fairly sure (without checking) we lost a prelim in 2012 to The Storm. Sadly I might have even been there

    Forwards

    Pretty fitting though. In terms of ability, achievement and status. It's like comparing the gleaming Fulton Ferrari to the Raudonikis gear-shift crunching smash-em-up derby Datsun 200B with flies buzzing around the dead cat in the boot.

    Tonight is the night the premiership window opened.

    Putting together a premiership-winning side is like a Rubik's Cube. It's like 2007 to 2008 when what we really needed was a block-of-concrete forward anchor for our pack and we got it from Newcastle (oh dear his name slips my memory now, which is bad because about 68% of my brain is occupied...
