    Captain 2026

    It depends how many minutes he plays per game next year... Usually you want your captain to always be on the field.

    Captain 2026

    There are exceptions but teams usually always have their captain on the field... so it depends if Jake continues to play 80 minutes a match.

    All NRL Games [Round 17, 2025]

    Not sure if it was mentioned but Luke Metcalf has likely torn his ACL, so the Warriors' spot in the Top 4 doesn't look nearly as comfortable now. If the Panthers finish in the Top 4 they will be very good odds to win 5 in a row... and I think I would be sick.

    Harry Grant is reportedly on nearly $1 million a year, and the Storm haven't won a premiership with him (yet). We had Api for 4 years, and in that time, we reached Week 2 of the finals once. He's separately been in 4 Grand Finals, won 3 of them, and also won two wooden spoons. Until we get...

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    Funnily enough, they are below us on the ladder right now.

    Anyone else over Voss?

    In my opinion, he is a fundamentally good commentator, in that he calls the play well and he pronounces the player's names correctly. The frustrating part is that he makes a deliberate choice to indulge in a lot of hyperbole and supposition. It is unnecessary and entirely avoidable. Just call...

    Mixed night. He could be a very good player but I still don't think hooker should be our first priority.

    In my opinion, the only premiership-winning team in the last 15 years that wouldn't have won it if they swapped out their hooker with any other starting hooker in the NRL, is the Storm with Cameron Smith. Several (Souths 2014 and Roosters 2019) managed to win the premiership with a backup...

    Game Day: Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    A few years ago Billy Slater dropped the ball, then kicked the ball after it landed, it was ruled as a kick. It was a really low percentage option, not worth it at this stage.

    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    The last time Seibold left a club mid-season, they still lost the next 7 games in a row AND secured the wooden spoon in the final round. How confident is anyone that this squad, with the current squad makeup, injury toll, and captain/leader who has publicly telegraphed that he doesn't want to...

    Vlandys PNG top 8 on demand 2028 special

    It will be interesting to see what is considered "market value" for some players if PNG are willing to pay them $2 million a season...

    There is nothing wrong with having more competition for spots, but in my opinion, when fully fit I don't think that Croker is the problem. He is on $350k and he does not startle the attack of this team. I really don't think our staff (under two head coaches) are silly enough to play someone at...

    Tallyn Da Silva

    He may be an improvement... but if he's behind the same forward pack that we have now, then the team is not going to perform much differently, in my opinion.

    All NRL Games [Round 16, 2025]

    We were reportedly paying him $250k per year from the age of 16. Despite that and the considerable club support for his family, he then left at the end of 2023 for $500k per year at the Tigers before he had played a single NRL game. He has now played 13 NRL games in the following year and a...

    Simpkin (a junior Origin player) was also behind Api at the Tigers, and was going to solve all of our problems according to Silvertails. And no one here seemed to rate Api as one of the best hookers in the competition when he played here for 4 years. I would rather we prioritise forwards...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    For context here are the Roy Bull Medal winners since DCE debuted: 2011 - Brett Stewart 2012 - Matt Ballin 2013 - Anthony Watmough 2014 - Brenton Lawrence 2015, 2018, 2019 - Jake Trbojevic 2016, 2021, 2024 - Tom Trbojevic 2017, 2020, 2023 - Daly Cherry-Evans 2022 - Lachlan Croker

    State of Origin, 2025.

    Junior Origin representation doesn't hurt, but it isn't a guarantee of a long-term NRL career either. Nor does it guarantee that the player (or their manager on behalf of them) won't just depart to whichever club will offer them more money as soon as they show the slightest amount of promise as...

    State of Origin, 2025.

    7-0 penalty count definitely helping...

    State of Origin, 2025.

    So far I don't think Dearden is playing any better than DCE did last game... but the entire Queensland team does look sharper without him running sideways looking for someone to get tackled instead of him.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    If the Panthers and Broncos lose this weekend, then we are back in the Top 8... We were outside the Top 8 at the same point last year. Edit: I forgot that Flanagan wasn't even here last year.
