The bad refs pick Kenny, not naming names, but you know the guys I'm talking about.

Gus only pays him a McDonald's wage.... Poor guy was hoping no one would notice him working 2 jobs. Apparently the ref training course involves watching 2 episodes of South Park, then correctly identifying Cartman as his favourite character.

Glad that the Raiders won, the sin bin was BS.

He is listed in the extended squad, that might be just a smokescreen. He is the only guy listed in the extended squad not listed in reserve grade. Perhaps Cirro has worked out my formula and is trying fool me.

Looking at reserve grade Moz is probably playing. The alternative is Kiraz in the 17 with Kiraz or Wilson on the bench. At the backend of the game we could play Kiraz at right centre and move Critter to 5/8. Hayward would move to the middle, possibly hooker to give Lou an early mark. Not...

Knights have posted a pretty good side and they all seem to be fit and healthy. Good thing Cirro and Gus know that this could turn out to be a hard game. We just need to repeat what we did against the Sharks. A couple of great scrambling try saves from us, a poorly executed, kick from the...

I don't understand how the top 30 works or who is in the top 30. Hopoi is a good option. I think that our players generally have good tackle technique and good discipline. We have also shown an ability to defend for 10 minutes with 12. We should also have good crowd support which can amplify...

My hunch is that when Hopoi comes back into the side after round 10, he will be a much better player. Hughes just needs to recapture his 2024 form. I am sure Moz is working hard to get back into the side. We might get something out of DSF, Armone on Zyon this season. Toups has been great at...

IMO Willo's best position is fullback. When Kiraz comes back, I would play Willo at fullback in reserve grade, shift Taffee to 6 and Hutch to 13. I think all 3 guys are a chance of playing NRL for us in those positions. Willo might turn out to be a far more dangerous fullback than Tracey...

We scored 3 tries in reserve grade last game 2 of them came from linebreaks from Smith. But Smith mainly seems to be a Josh Jackson type defender. Starting Smith at right second row and moving Curran back to the middle is the other option.

Hopoi seems to be playing better than Armone and Zyon in reserve grade. As far as I can tell Hopoi is development squad and can only play after round 10. Armone was dominant in the UK SL, but seems to be a work in progress. Smith captained the flegg team to a premiership last season. He might...

Toups likely to be suspended. Possible replacements :- Morrin, Underhill, Smith. Smith has been playing right centre in reserve grade, but played second row last game. Underhill started at prop and played 74 minutes straight. We know what Morrin brings. Knights should be a step down from...

Shame Manly got a few injures and didn't put a score on the Eels. Seemed like the match rarely got beyond first gear, real step down in intensity from Dogs / Sharks

He needs to run niggle classes for the lower grades. Grub and Ennis can be guest speakers.

I hope Manly can put a score on the Eels tomorrow. The Eels can raise their bat for -100 for and against.

Hughes, Kiraz, Burton and Kiks definitely in our top 17. So 4 of our better players out and we took total control of the game in the second half. Sharks played very well most of the game. My favourite part was when we were camped down their end executing good end of set kicks and getting set...

Marhoney might be suspended for Drugcastle but might escape with 2 fines.

Penalties 10-6, Ruck infringements 3-1. One dumb penalty from Marhoney... some of the penalties in the first half were dubious, In the second half even the ref gave up on a Sharks win.

Great win, we wore them down. Excellent games for Sexton and Hayward

We are playing well, no help from the ref.
