LFC i don't give your EPL team much chance against the mighty West Ham tonight::)

you a Hammers follower :)
We even scored for youse lol......you guys had some bad luck.
LFC keep giving me a fright but we're getting there, not long to go now.

Panthers are in the spiral now, can't see them recovering for play offs unless the impossible happens and results go their way.
Happy days eels are in a world of hurt.
Chooks turn around that good against the queensland club.
Apart from you Dogs coming back this season hand it to the Tigers, been a melting pot for seasons.
Many on 6 points makes for a good comp at this stage early days.
 
I've been a Hammers Fan since around 1971, Dogs fans since 1973.
Dogs have delivered more, a lot more.
Originally went for the Dogs because our cousins lived in Greenacre.
Not sue why I chose the Hammers, but it wasn't a great choice.

Panthers still a slim chance, but I see the Roosters and Tigers as dangerous now.

Broncos we need to see how their next 2 games go.

What I noticed in our trial against the Broncos was Cirro kept a lot of our players on the field for big minutes and the Broncos made more interchanges.

Beating the Broncos starts with kick chase linespeed and defence, then move the ball to test their fitness and decisions in defence on the edges.

Last 2 Dogs games Sharks- target Nicko, Knights- target Marzhew.

Against the Bunnies I think that we might work their fullback Gray over with high kicks into a competition.

Next 2 Dogs games very interesting, I am optimistic, but we will lose sooner or later.

EPL i am not a fan of sacking a coach or manager especially if they have had less than one full season. The task is to avoid relegation then rebuild. I think that the next Dogs premiership is coming well before a West Ham EPL title, just staying in the EPL is challenge enough for now.

I should have been smart and became a Liverpool fan.

I can see why the Hammers back then.
Lampard's Jnr Dad was a beast !
Brooking was on the best players in the game,
Ol heart on his sleeve Billy Bonds, lacked skill but had the tank of a locomotive.
Mervyn Day in goals.
Plus those days watching the FA cup final was big for us and Hammers won in '75.
Great club tbh.
I hear you about the swings and roundabouts of todays game and coachs, moneymoneymoney especially avoiding relegation cut throat and brutal, I miss the ol days, its tuff tackling and not much play acting whereas the skills today are amazing and the oscar awards are a plenty that should be penalised farfar more !

Only 5/6 games in back on the NRL.
Yet to settle for its all over the shop putting aside the eels.
None of us have mentioned the Raiders unless I'm mistaken, 4th is up for them as well.
 
Out of the big clubs Liverpool is the only one I like.

Don't mind Brighton, Villa and Leeds are ok.

Nothing good ever came out of Manchester and Tottenham have an ego inversely proportional to their actual achievements.

Team list Tuesday.
Burto in, Kiks in extended squad.
Bemch. Hayward, Mann, Toups, Todd.
I don’t expect Kiks to play.
Looking at reserve grade Taffee is most probably 18th man.
I think Hayes is probably injured.
Hopoi probably top 30 now, Armone has left the club.

The one NRL coach that I don't rate and have never rated is O'Brien at Newcastle.

I don't like Ryles, but it is too early to say if he can or can't coach.

I don't like Flanno, but he can coach.

All of the other coaches are pretty capable IMO, sacking a coach doesn't always improve things.

Parra are going worse without Arthur and Gutho, but sometimes change is necessary if what you are doing has already peaked.

Yes… Flanno proven he can coach a side that is well over the cap and taking performance enhancing substances… except for the year they won the comp of course… nothing to see there…

For the Flanno lovers, the way he hung Ilia’s out to dry in that press conference says all I need to know about the bloke… let alone the litany of other disgraces…
 
Myth Moses is back, but I recon the leadership shown by Luai and others will have the Tigers fired up to show what they can do without Galvin.

Anything less than a very flat track, we know Parra will not be able mix it.

I’m tipping Parra.
 
4 tries for Wilson in 60 minutes playing in reserve grade.

This is working out as I expected.

DSF playing reserve grade, Kiks must be in.
 
Injury to Todd was the only negative.
In attack we lacked patience and execution, but I think that was the team getting excited about being well on top.
Not surprised by the Fins beating the Storm, slightly surprised by how good the Fins were.
Hoping for a Warriors win or at least a close hard fought match.
 
Dominant display… 4 points clear at the top of the table… Dream start… The sea of blue and white in the grandstands was a site to behold!!!…
 
My hunches pretty good this round, but I have no clue about Roosters / Panthers.

But Panthers winning wouldn't be a surprise.
 
IMO Wilson at fullback might add some X-Factor to our side.

We need to see him racking up trys and try assists in reserve grade on a regular basis until it is too much to ignore, the potential is definitely there.

Not knocking Tracey he is solid and works hard.

Burto needs to find his mojo, when he is in 2 minds just run the ball.

IMO Kiks, Preston and Xerri are attacking weapons.

I sort of get the criticism that we are lacking X-Factor, but we are only 1-2 players away from having it.
 
OK, Wilson, scored 4 trys playing on the wing in reserve grade in spite of being listed at fullback in the team list.

I still think that we need to try him at fullback in reserve grade.
