Re: Melbourne Storm 2023
I think Tariq Simms will transition into a middle forward at the Storm and can see him being a very valuable bench forward. I expect this is the year where we see Jack Howarth make his mark. The storm have been very controlled with his progression but he is certainly a talented junior. Sent from my ...

Re: Canberra Raiders bid for David Fifita
Maybe. I know that Haas moved to the Queensland for football, and that he attended. Was he signed by the Broncos and then sent to KP? Do KP and the Broncos have an arrangement? Keebra Park are now linked with the Titans. That wasn’t the case a few years back. Despite this it doesn’t really matter i...

Re: Brisbane Broncos 2023
Looks like a bottom eight team to me. Have added a quality young fullback and have arguably the best back five in the comp. If Reynolds can stay fit they have a rep quality half with an outstanding kicking game next to a young up and comer who has plenty of individual brilliance. ( Mam will deserve...

I actually think Korisau leaving (and to a lesser degree Kikau) is going to bring them back to the pack. I still think they will be the team to beat - but I think the gap will be less. Korisau is a really good 9 and we already know the differences between a good 9, and an exceptional 9 - tight game...

A few unofficial sources are stating that the Storm have signed Eliesa katoa.
Looking forward to seeing how he improves under Bellamy. Confident he will turn him into a rep player.

Re: 2022 Rd 21 V Panthers: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
The Panthers will be a real test for the Raiders forwards. They are a very patient team and with both halves out I think will play a pretty simple game. Bash through the middle, kick to corners and wait for the Raiders to make errors and invite them into the match. O’Sullivan has a pretty handy kick...
