Anyone else watching the scenes at UCLA right now? Some serious **** might be about to go down. What's happening? Palestine protests? Yeah, they've occupied campuses across the US.

We need a hooker, not a fullback.

I haven’t read the thread yet, but just saw the team for the first time and all I can say is ahahahahahahahahahahhaaha **** me, Daryl **** me Daryl, indeed What's Daryl got to do with it?

My Broncos supporting mates and then my Sharks supporting work colleague were saying they can’t believe I have been talking up our young players. They think that Mooney is worse than their reserve props, Chevy is particularly useless with no potential and that Strange is only OK. Are we over egging...

Don't think it was "couldn't" I think it was "didn't want to" I'm sure if he had no offers on the table to match they would've offered him a reduced price contract for another year or 2 Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk Yeah probably right. But the decision making is the same ...

1. Stewart- sounds weird in such a loss but he defended well. I'm still waiting for the slick passing he's shown in reggies to come out. Might take him a while to catch up with that side of FG. He popped up to receive one or two offloads which is good. We could lean in on offloads more since our at...

Bring Woolford in and our pack can start dominating again which will immensely help the young guys.

Both Cook and Woolford are crap and won’t change anything. There’s a reason why Stuart tried to “upgrade” Woolford with a player that’s been rejected from 3 NRL clubs. Has nothing to do with “personal vendettas” and everything to do with being not very good. Levi has been OK this year, popped up wi...

gerg

Definitely a few changes to be made next week. Cook needs to be our 7. Unfortunately Weekes is not a halfback. A bit unfair as he's being asked to perform a role that doesn't suit his skill set. Woolford back at dummy half. The other key change. We can't take that spine into another game. As for th...

gerg

Honest question. Who do we beat in this competition playing that style? Even putting aside the Levi bombed try, we're not threatening any side with that attack. The red zone attack is disgusting. Crash ball after crash ball. Terribly coached team and it was clearly on display today. We threw absolut...

Tapine looked gone as well. Wonder if a virus has gone through the team, or something.

If only we had a hooker on the bench who could spell Levi once he's gassed.

Sanders went okay. The left side was targeted a lot but it looked like Hopgood and Hand (?, hooker) were the weak link. Especially Hand. Sivo, despite scoring a hattrick was terrible. Not one of DCEs better games but love watching him play. You can see how well he 'game manages', directing plays, te...

This whole argument of not being able to buy superstars as an excuse for quite frankly, **** ordinary coaching, is a bit ridiculous to me. In the last 25 years of the NRL era, the best coach I’ve seen has been Craig Bellamy, hands down. The best team I’ve seen in the last 25 years, again, hands dow...

gerg

A great signing for the future. Certainly buys another five years for the coach. And it shows in his laidback approach this year. The last two seasons he has looked like a coach under pressure. Particularly 2022 where he looked a dead man walking until Savage and Woolford came into the side and save...

gerg

You cannot have so many young spine players (in the halves and fullback) playing behind a beaten pack. It's too much pressure and unfair on them. Woolford provides the best service from dummy half and there's really no debate on that. Right now I don't care about those other areas of the 'hooker' de...

Did Papa even play tonight?? I hardly ever notice him playing these days... seriously does the rickster only give him 10 mins or so? You seem to be most prolific on this site when we lose. You constantly deathride the side. Is your life so pathetic that you need to troll this site, you're clearly n...

gerg

Okay, that was disappointing. A few clangers to put the game out of reach, but for me it was obvious from the first quarter of the game that we lost the ruck, the wrestle and forward battle. And comparing the packs that shouldn't be happening. Woolford must be given a go. Starling offers nothing. Le...

Hard to read too much into that. Watching the highlights, Parramatta looked gassed by half time. Humidity is a massive momentum killer, and this summer in SE has been the most disgustingly humid one I've ever experienced. Training for a marathon through it, I can tell you that your energy levels dr...

Man, Sutton has totally screwed up this game with his inconsistent refereeing of the ruck. First 20 minutes Warriors have all the ball and ruck is extremely slow. Then Saints get a bit of possession and all of a sudden he wants a quicker game. Three legup penalties in a row to Saints and 6agains thr...

Good news. I'd be as shattered if he left for one final big pay day as when Wiki left. He deserves to be our highest capped player. Playing rep footy since 19 y/o, an absolute monster on the edge, then converting to arguably the most consistent prop in the game over the last 5ish years. One of our g...

Like I said that may or may not have been the case but even if he was he absolutely had no right to play the ball that quickly in that circumstance.

Went and saw Dune 2 today. Great cinema experience. A really well made film. My only criticism was the finale seemed rushed in comparison to the pacing in the rest of both films.

Schuster could be a gun. But is probably in the same basket as Latrell. If they had their head on right, quality players. We’ve seen obviously with Latrell. Schuster could be a great player.
