Definitely one of the best victories in the last 20 years. Still a few things to work on. Lots of mistakes in the first half.

We are going to need a great second half to get out of this.

Just being outplayed so far unfortunately. Too many errors. The game plan assumed at least a 50 / 50 share of possession.

Hopgood facing a $1,000 fine for a crusher tackle similar to Presto's. I want to beat the Raiders to silence our critics and stick it to the NRL for the unfair suspension. Fines are a good idea, but penalties should mainly compound for the same offence. 1 week would have been ok. At times...

We definitely have the players to win, regardless of the final 17. Souths beating Broncos shows how close the comp is. A Bennett/Latrell master class. Dry conditions suit us. The Raiders are good but we are a definite chance.

Cirro keeps teasing me via leaving my preferred 17 possible in the final 19. I swear that the dude is reading my posts here, and is messing with my head. I'm ruling out Marki, because Cirro keeps selecting Burto at 5/8. I've never seen ODF post here when Cirro is in the coaches box - just...

Excellent all of the so called experts have tipped against us. Day game, not much chance of rain conditions suit how we will want to play. Move the ball spread out their line, speed and footwork in the middle against their big guys. Defensively it is a big challenge for us, they are a...

I still think Smith could do a good job in the second row or at right centre, but not for 80 minutes on debut. We might start Salmon or Hayes and play Smith off the bench. If Critter and Kiraz are both selected for SOO. Smith is one option for right centre. I've been expecting Smith to play...

Preston suspended for 4 weeks. Canberra are at full strength and are favourites. My gut feeling is that we will win, probably because we will want it more than them. Reserve grade is interesting no one in the NRL reserves is listed, we are giving some young guys a run. I expect the full 22...

So far, our most consistent performance was against the Sharks. Not unexpected that we are inconsistent at this stage of the season, with frequent line up changes. We need to win the Preston challenge because we don't have good replacements. The only options I can think of are Salmon and...

Raiders are going to be tough to beat, it is a genuine 1 v 2 showdown. They are in good form, and it is very unlikely they they will produce a below par performance. We need to correct our errors against the Broncos. Cut out the dropped ball, penalties and ill discipline. Complete sets, kick...

Good to get a win with a weakened side while not playing our best. The patches of dominant football were good and probably totalled around 50 mins.

Pretty ordinary first half. Too many errors and a lack of intensity in the last 20 minutes.

Looks like my theory was wrong, we have a very small bench

Looking at reserve grade, Hutch and Hopoi might be in the 19 man NRL squad. I'm not ruling out Hutch or Hopoi being in the final 17. Gus said that we had 6 middles unavailable my list is Hughes, Todd, Curran and Toups... might be a couple of reserve graders. But Salmon not being 100% fit...

I learned how to Mock from the master.

Girls SOO was good, I don't think QLD can come back and win it this season. Fins / Roosters hard to predict, just sit back and enjoy the show. I think Hammer might score / set up at least one more try... Fins have an unusual ability to start slow and still win.

Yeah, I will not be surprised if next years team is fairly different. Including spine changes. I also will not be surprised if we tweak the pack this year. The 6 middle forwards are far from set. King and Mann are the only certainties if fit. Hayward is certain to be in the side, but might be...

Tia and Jones resigned. I don’t know much about Jones. Tia has the potential to be a very good 14, halfback, 5/8, hooker, lock, centre. Playing centres in reserve grade, I hope that is adding to his versility. Interesting to see how our spine shapes up. I waiting to see if Sexton and/or...

The lack of middles is a problem against the Tits and Canberra. DSF, Morrin and Hopoi have been going great in reserve grade, time to find out what they can do in the NRL. Hughes isn't back before round 12, Underhill can't play NRL before round 10 and doesn't seem to be ready. We have a few...
