    I think that this is about keeping our good young players as much as it is about getting Galvin. It is about the next 3-5 years. If Sexton and Marhoney are leaving they are likely to get an opportunity at another club. It may even work better for them. Just listening to Gus we need to Just...

    Yeah I am thinking that we need to minimise the changes this season, but still find a way of using Galvin, No one knows what Cirro and Gus are planning, if there is a definite plan. In the semis the coach has to pick the best 17. Fox also came when we were crap, when he became a negative we...

    There is some strategy where we rest players. Woods was apparently 19th man for the NRL last game. I expected O'Neill to be out due to concussion issues. Hughes played fairly big minutes in reserve grade, important player for us. Everyone is trying to guess where Galvin will be playing. I've...

    Tia played halfback in Flegg, Woods might be playing reserve grade. If so, good test against a strong Warriors side. Edit : O'Neill is playing... wrong again HD.

    I am only going on media reports that we are trying to sign Galvin. Should Galvin come Marhoney, Sexton, Hayward and Galvin are fighting for 3 positions. I don’t think that Marhoney is completely out of the woods, because he made 2 game changing unforced errors against the Fins and Cirro was...

    I don’t actually know anything, just putting 2+2 together and coming up with 5.

    The key issue with Sexton is involvement and combination with Burton. Watch the Fins game Katoa handled the ball more, played both sides of the field. The timing of his passes committed a lot of defenders and created a lot of try scoring opportunities. Katoa also did most of the kicking. It...

    Young Cochrane in reserve grade looks like a good fullback prospect. My thoughts are Marhoney shouldn't be playing 80 mins each week, Hayward should play some dummy half. Hayward could start at halfback and swing to both sides of the field. Tracey can fill in at first receiver on the right...

    Yeah I have changed my mind on this assuming that we are going to play him at lock. Hayward is potentially more valuable at hooker or in the halves and Mann will not be here forever. I also think that Galvin needs good coaching, he is a bit erratic. Gus probably didn't need a reminder that we...

    Credit to the Fins they played well and played tough, handled the conditions much better than we did. I can see the Fins, Warriors, Canberra and Roosters all making the semis. Dogs, Sharks, Storm and Rabbits likely the other 4 sides. Should that happen, it will be an intense high quality...

    According to the stats Curran played 80 mins in the middle and made 60 tackles with 3 misses. Curran started great, but understandably faded towards the end. Critter, Kiraz, King, Mann and Preston are usually some of our better players, That is a lot of quality out of the side. My initial...

    This sort of game is why I don't rate Sexton. Didn't set up much with passes and kicks in the opposition red zone. Burto made a few errors but offered plenty. Tracey also mostly good. Marhoney too many errors but the play for the try Turpin almost scored wasn't a bad effort. Pass was flat or...

    We often struggle in the wet. Knock on at the scrum base from Marhoney was a turning point. Hughes only played 17 minutes. Some dumb soft options at the backend of the game blew the score out. Short, kick offs needed to be better or kick long. Multiple Short turnarounds into a tough game in...

    No idea. From the game so far, my money would be on Wilson, Taaffe or Curran,.

    Game against the Fins is the right thing at the right time for us. If Burton and Sexton both kick well, we should win. Sexton was kicking better when Burton was out. I only want the spine kicking and mostly the halves. Katoa is good at placing kicks, he will not give us many 7 tackle sets...

    If the 17 is as listed, I'm starting Smithy at right centre and moving Taaffe back to the bench. The biggest danger this game is Herbie, I think that Smith and Hayes have the strength to contain him and enough speed and mobility. Wilson is also pretty good at defending overlaps. Taaffe can...

    No halfback listed in reserve grade. Hutch, Underhill and Sua listed... Hmmmm. Not so confident about my %s above now. Warriors reserve grade side is strong. First in reserve grade, second in NRL, good depth, playing well. The Warriors tick a lot of boxes. Edit: Woods is listed in Flegg...

    For such a talented player Katoa kicks some lame bombs IMO. Not much height because he is focusing on placement. Overall Fins are a solid side, I think that we can win, but it could be close. If Woods plays, his kicking game might be the difference. A half that can earn repeat sets and set up...

    Smith starting at centre is the other option. This game anyone in the 23 man squad playing would surprise me. Even Hutch play 5/8 and Burto moving to centre, but that is option 4 or 5. The Fins have little time to do video on Woods and don't know if that would be a waste of time. This game...

    Team named, interesting. Taffee in the centres, Hughes on the bench. Underhill, Sua and Woods in the extended squad. Would be very surprising if Woods made his NRL debut as I don't think he has played reserve grade. However over the last few weeks Montoya has disappointed me and Sexton...
