I think just trade Cleary and RTS this week and hopefully the other 2 play next week before origin (Hynes still a chance this week).

Too many errors. Massive momentum killer. I'm not sure if he's worth minimum wage.

Rabbit defence abysmal, Titan a much better defensive team (crazy).

Not a fan of the Super League and it's players but every now and again there's a good one, even tho usually an Englishman. There isn't much to lose if he's killing it over there and it's a cheapish deal.

Gus' halves if he was picking the origin team would be Burton and Luai - 6 tackles with Gus. Now that's left field.

He'd look good at Panther but doesn't everyone.

I'm just quoting Gus, he may be lying. It was around the time Lomax was changing clubs.

our pack holds its own against anyone surprisingly - includes Panther, so maybe it's time to give them more credit. On paper we're a much better team now then before a ball was kicked, or after the first couple of games.

We probably aren't going to sign marquees but we need to spend 95% of the salary cap and we have to do that some way. After retaining the players we want to we're still going to be under the salary cap (Gus on record saying we have money to spend on a middle forward).

Royce Hunt, Utoikamanu, Willison, Egan Butcher?

It's okay, a learning opportunity for me also in regards to my responses.

This is what I'd pick but It'll probably change before selection week. Tedesco game 1 would be his last chance for me. I have no issue if Edwards or any of the other obvious names are picked either.

I don't think it's far from what It'll be, Robson another option instead of Brailey but they're same same - Shark and Brailey better form imo. Teddy v Edwards. Moses v Hynes/Luai. I think either way again same same. I'd be happy with any of those options.

1. Tedesco 2. To'o 3. Best 4. S. Crichton 5. Lomax 6. Luai 7. Hynes 8. Haas 9. Brailey 10. Trbojevic 11. A. Crichton 12. Martin 13. Yeo 14. Korosiau 15. Utoikamanu 16. McInnes 17. an edge that can also play centre or the other way around, e.g. Tago, Talakai, etc. The team changes every week so

head knock at the end of the game last week

Sam Walker, or go cheap with Atkinson - if Hynes out/origin he will score very well, also frees up $ to fix other problems you may have or upgrades you need.

averaged 42 minutes in 2021 and 17 minutes in 2022. BBO was struggling to make our reserves team this year.

Edwards without Cleary this year has scored very well, but also a chance of origin.

He had a chance, 9 games back to back in both 2021 and 2022

Sorensen has already shown at Panther to be an effective middle/prop. They also already have Smith and Henry. Their issues going to be if a front rower gets a long term injury.

The quality of players we had running around with us for years.

Rabbit rely on him too much. 2 tries and a try assist. Even with his flaws what are his teammates doing.

I think Best really wants to play origin

Shit Staines

I think we need to win at least 2 of our next 3 and after that if Moses is back for Eel they're going to be a much better team than they currently are. I think we're favourites in all of our next 3 games.

Papalii fullback and Tracey wing. We have until 2026 still.

We weren't much different to Panther who're the best team in the competition. Panther are just better at that style - more experience, better players, and we didn't nail a few key plays/moments. This is another good building game for us. For us to challenge for a title we're going to need good...

1 extra year the difference. Panther would of been a better club for Fifita development wise but he's still going to a top team..

F*ck

Angus has had a massive resurgence this season and probably pushed his way back into an origin jersey. If he came here he'd have to play lock or Preston would have to move there. I think we're pretty stacked in the second row and the money could be better spent elsewhere. I think Rooster will...

It's probably close to right for what he's worth going off his current form. Leota only plays 40 minutes a game which hurts his value. The best middles in the game that play good minutes are worth 1m imo.

I still think Luai, but otherwise Hynes. I don't think anyone else will get a look in.

If Panther are offering him 850k you'd have to think we'd have to offer at least 1m for him and we're stacked with Kiks and Preston. Saying that, he's a freak and he'll be the best forward in the game if he links up with Panther.

Sezer 4 game ban but no sin bin :D

Expecting 1. Tracey 2. JAC 3. Xerri 4. Crichton 5. Kiraz 6. Burton 7. Hutchison 8. King 9. Mahoney 10. Hughes 11. Kikau 12. Preston 13. Salmon 14. Taaffe 15. Curran 16. Morrin 17. Mann

Dolphin are one of the teams that have conceded the least amount of points so far this year

Flick

I missed that one.

Faamausili's hands really bad. I wouldn't be picking him unless it's between him and Knight.

Wow

Storm got a Reece Walsh ready to go

???? hello

Taaffe is really bad... ffs

He is a bit of a beast tho

Clark running like a second rower

Angus Crichton's probably played himself into the team, especially with injury to Murray.

I can't see us missing the 8 when Manly a team that should be in there...

Paseka doesn't have that dog in him. Curran > Paseka.

Thank god Waddell's someone else's problem. I can't stand the look of him.

Cotric's speed wow

No Tracey hurts a lot, thankfully Koroisau out tho which is a bigger loss

2026 1. Papalii 2. Tracey 3. Xerri 4. Crichton 5. Kiraz 6. Burton 7. Woods 8. King 9. Mahoney 10. Curran 11. Kikau 12. Preston 13. Salmon (coach loves him, could go to the bench switching with Hughes) 14. Morrin 15. Hughes 16. Marshall 17. Todd 18. Seve Players like JAC and Mann will be 2...

Is he good enough for Rooster? Sandon Smith looks like a bigger talent too.

keep the momentum after JFH comes off + Lindsay would be good enough to start for almost every team.

Rabbit CEO sounds like a wanker

Todd > Edwards

Ilias in a similar situation to Sexton when he joined us. I think Gus would do it if he rated him. Sexton won't be extended and we need competition for Hutchison until a kid is ready (ideally Woods, ~2 years away).

There isn't really anyone off contract (big marquees in key roles). They'll need a centre until Manu's back but I don't think that'll be for long. Alamoti, Gagai (already heard them linked with him) and Iro a few centres off contract. Even with their losses outside centre (and probably have a...

his first game was v Rabbit missing half their team. Blake Taaffe carved us up.

We're at this stage and I've been one of the most pessimistic supporters here.

Our forwards have held their own all year and even overperformed. It's going to come down to the spine creating points imo.

Tracey > Xerri/Olam, Galvin > Sezer, King > Klemmer and Preston > Papalii (close so backing our boy).

You'd assume it'll be this with what Ciraldo was going with before the bye + players returning from injury. 1. Tracey 6. Burton 7. Hutchison 9. Mahoney 2. JAC 3. Xerri 4. Crichton 5. Kiraz 8. King 10. Curran 11. Kikau 12. Preston 13. Salmon 14. Taaffe 15. Hughes 16. Morrin 17. Mann There...

It wouldn't be the first time we've signed someone who's going to be out for an extended period, also from the same team.

It didn't take Tommy long to be Shark best middle

He's been doing it since being appointed on NRL 360, nothing to do with Ilias.

I don't know about Ilias. I haven't really rated him but I think he'd also play a lot better in a team where he feels like he's an equal. Rabbit are having massive problems with player power. All the players would get around him here. That's probably one of the best things about what we're building.

It brings the contest closer

We're better than Warrior this year, crazy

forced

Fuller for 3 weeks (will make 100-200k) or Walsh until origin.

He signed with Warrington Wolves

Another club could of offered him a 4 year deal and done the same thing assuming the player wants to medically retire and it's valid. There was a chance when Shark gave him that deal that Finucane would refuse to retire and keep pushing on.

Yeah, he's a smoky. His effort levels much higher than 2 of those guys and I have Murray down as an edge.

I've been looking though NSW's options in the middle (bench) and Curran is a pretty good smoky especially knowing Maguire's style. Eel form ruining Paulo and RCG's chances too. Also we should be locking Curran up long term asap.

A main reason why it was reported/made up is because it's an idea that makes sense. I think half the time journalists or w.e. you call them add 1+1 together for their stories/reports (depends who of course, but especially the lesser known people who have a lower track record). It sparks...

1. Tracey 6. Burton 7. Taaffe 9. Mahoney 2. JAC 3. Xerri 4. Crichton 5. Kiraz 8. King 10. Hughes 11. Kikau 12. Preston 13. Mann 14. Morrin 15. Curran 16. Todd 17. Salmon Taaffe might struggle like Hutch is but I'd like to see how he goes (can easily revert back).

born in Fiji and probably moved over to Australia after the cut off to be eligible.

It hurts a little short term/this year but I think Taaffe and Tracey, and even O'Neill, can play there if Hutch is unplayable. I don't think Sexton is going to be retained after this season so if we can get a short and long term option from it that's pretty beneficial for us.

3 - Mahoney 2 - Curran 1 - Tracey

Ennis levels of output this year

I love how they dropped Cogger for Gamble and started D. Saifiti to try and replicate that performance.

I thought he was 1 of the only halves worse than Flanagan at the club when he was here so I'm not surprised he's been moved from that role.

He had a tough 1st game against Eel and was getting mud minutes. I think since round 5 he's been contributing well.

I think with how we're playing we can beat anyone in the competition. It's just a shame we didn't get the 2 points against Rabbit and Storm because we were the better team. If we can win those games in the future we'll make the 8 this year believe it or not.

1 of Critta or Fox I'd guess

Manly should have to pay every $ that's the difference between Schuster's current contract and whatever else his next club pays.

If we get Mooney I'm all for it

Knight presser going to be fun

That's ridiculous

have to hold them out here or it's been a shit half

So hard to get one

Yeah never pick him again please, how many times...

did you see his big hits in Storm's last try set

We need to strengthen the roster and there's a salary cap where we have to spend 95% of it. The weakest links in our team are in the middle and halves.

NRL is SCREWED with these referees and people in the bunker WTF

I wouldn't be surprised with Panther track record with centres, even Peachey looked good when he played. The Panther system and players around him is going to help his defence a lot. I think he has ability with the ball in hand.

Gagai big out for Knight, especially with that meaning Jenkins comes in who's been pretty bad at Knight so far

Alamoti about to look like a marquee centre.

reportedly 650k.
