I was impressed with Ciraldo’s presser. I feel like the journos we’re trying to bait him into being critical of us or the refs over time wasting and penalties and sin bins etc, but he didn’t bite. Complimented us for our toughness, said he’d time waste as well if they had the lead at the end. Was c...

30 seconds to go. Manly get a 7 tackle set. Koula blows any chance of a quick tap against retreating defence by kicking the ball. Brisbane get to set their defensive line. Manly then play out the last set with two prop hit ups and a second rower hit up. Game over. No backline move, no Hail Mary bom...

Agree on Weeks, very lucky to have him in the squad. Must have been disappointing for him when Strange got the gig but he has kept his head up and his opportunity has come. Really important wins over Manly and the Dogs as we are directly competing against them for those lower top 8 spots. Both were ...

Rick

Interesting report we have more young player signings on the way other than the Colonel. If they are NSW or Qld U/19s from last year then they will come from the below player list. Hopefully a backrow forward to replace retiring EW for next season, is on the wish list. https://www.nrl.com/draw/stat...

I love his composure. He seems like he is naturally a very chilled guy. I think we can safely say that the 6 position has gone to Strange so we really need to be looking at finding him a spot in the 17. At full strength he is a chance at Fullback or utility. He jumped into dummy half a few times las...

Rick

Special mention to Weeks also by coming in midway through the season and playing the role of dominant half. This has allowed Strange to sit back and ease into his rookie season without the added pressure. Easy to forget Weeks is only a handful of games in front of him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapa...

32nd min TRY BULLDOGS to Jacob Preston off a Hutchison kick. Jordan Rapana kicks at the ball, misses and stops Savage from grounding the ball. Matt Burton converts. It followed a very strange penalty for an offence of some sort, but none was evident. It was even put on report. Raiders 12-6 Think it...

Looks like Sanders got dropped for Asi also.

In the time Moses has been injured they have jumped from Blaize to Asi to Sanders and back to Asi

In other Rugby League 2024 news, Reece Walsh has withdrawn from the Broncos game against Manly due to knee soreness.

I've watched Chan Kum Tong a few times in the lower grades now and I don't think he fixes the problem. Surely there is a pommy hooker that's going well enough to justify bringing them over. That’s what got us into this mess. How has Trevelyn’s defence been in Cup in his limited minutes? I would rea...

Rick

Manly lie down for pennies a lot! I would really liken to see the threshold changes that the bunker or ref can only change their mind if it is a sin bin / send off. When it was originally put in place that it needed to be a reportable offence that actually used to mean something now everything goes ...

Rick

Weird stuff from the bunker. Why did it matter if the ball was regathered before going into touch? Was knocked on in the field of play I think they were trying to work out if it was going to be a scrum after a knock on, a play of the ball if it went into touch or a 20m restart if it went dead in go...

Rick

How on earth are referees meant to adjudicate this disrupter thing? The only thing I have noticed is it can be 100% a disrupter but if they take the catch they have not been disrupted so a penalty is never given. You drop a catch and if there is someone within the shot then you are 50/50 at getting...

Now that it seems likely Fifita will be on the move, I can’t help but feel we may have missed a trick not making him a can’t-refuse-big-money offer. Whilst he plays a non-premium position, he’s still a difference maker/match winner that we could afford the luxury of while we have a relatively cheap...

I’m Guessing they assumed Weeks still played for Manly and were trying to share the points around.

At full strength I think we can fit the below in just means we run a heavy bench. I have been pleased with Mariota’s versatility to play 2nd row which allows us to carry another big bopper.

Commentators losing their minds because Sezer is not binned following a Hip Drop Tackle.

Even saying that’s always a sin bin, only 2 nights ago at this very game that was a sin bin.

Should we tell them?…..

An attacking weapon, however I think the knock has always been on his defence.

Thanks for the updates!

Good result given how many players this team is missing compared to what they had in the first few rounds.

Sounds like Cook is killing it.

The fullback spot will be really interesting. Based on Sticky's comments Rapa will definitely be ready, but I thought based on his comments on resting Chevy that he was fully intending to bring him back as fullback, but with Cotric being outstanding last night, it leaves a real headache. 1.

Rick

Yeah at the time I was asking myself if Starling looked good or if Levi was just that bad that what Starling offered up made him look good. I suspect it might have been a bit of both. One thing I will say is Starling seemed to set the line speed when he came on which he has failed to do in the past ...
