Im afraid our best team has Galvin and SOS at 6 and 7 and that means Burton and Critta at 3 and 4 meaning Tuala misses out. I personally rate Xerri above Tuala so if we accept Xerri being dropped then Tuala dropped is a given. Our wingers are definitely slow but we use them as kick return...

Someone on TK made a very good point in that the new interchange rules and bench has negated our advantage of being a superior fit team and it allowing for big boppers to once again play a role in a team. I have to agree. But more importantly, i dislike our gameplan which wastes all its...

Disgusting performance across the board but in particular from CC who lost the plot. I can only assume his pre-match plan was to use Mann and SOS as interchanges in the 9 and 13 with Hayward to save an interchange. He must have changed it when we were down chasing points and points not coming...

I expect this Cows team to win and win well (over 24 points). But would be interesting to see how the young guys go. Just hoping the guys that are in line for first grade like DSF, Hughes, CKT, Sua get to dust the cobwebs off and get match ready for when they get the chance in NRL.

Competition in the squad is great, but we still have too many players with similar attributes. Its fine when we are working together as a unit and winning games on defence. But by end of season, you need both your attack AND defence firing to win the 3 or 4 big games. In the last 2 years, our...

You are kidding yourself if you think the 2012 spine was not better than the 2025 spine. Barba was miles ahead of Tracey in a generational performance only matched by Hayne in 2009 and some freaky shit done by Turbo. No surprise they are all Fullbacks, reinforcing my opinion that you need a...

I also dont dislike him and see his value. I just dont know if my like for him aligns with a premiership team. Of course, he won premierships at Penrith, but they had a gun spine. I think in a team with gun creative halves, his job is higher valued. I believe in our team, when the spine is not...

21 years without a premiership suggests our formula has been wrong (or we have been tremendously unfortunate). I don't think we have been unfortunate. We deserved to make (and win) in 2012 but i thought we were lucky to make the GF in 2014. We have flip-flopped since. Yes we are on a more...

Nope. It wasnt instructions. Its his instinct. Instructions do shit all if the player hasnt got the ability to play that way. He is a running hooker. Full stop.

Hes an instinctive player that plays eyes up footy. Something desperately lacking from our spine over the years, but hopefully Galvin changes that along with Woods, when the time comes.

Huge win by Glory today. Give Andy Griffiths the coaching job. He's instilled some confidence in this playing group and they backing themselves.

Went to the Bulls game last week. Surprised at how well we played. Shamoon probably our best player. Not afraid to take guys on. In fact, i think the A-league needs alot more players who arent afraid to skill the opposition without fear of losing the ball. One of the most useless statistics...

Big fan of Teddy. Always a professional and is at the top of his game.

If Flanno takes their starting hooker role, we should move heaven and earth to try to get Jacob Liddle. He's a gun player in the Tom Starling mould that doesnt deserve to be second fiddle.

Mate, players come onto the market every year or two and we either choose to not chase them or choose to drop out of the race when the kitchen gets too hot. Its been the same for all spine positions for the last 25 odd years. Unless we sneakily begin talks or work behind the scenes to get one...
