Funny how things are about perspective I have watched all the Reggie’s games and Xerri isn’t even fucking close to Defending at centre in FG IMO
So true. People here get excited because Taaffe played NSW under 19’s in the halves. You’d think by now that they’d understand that hyped up juniors don’t always cut it in the NRLPretty sure Taafe has never played an nrl game at halfback so would be shocked if this was even a consideration.
He would be a massive defensive liability in the front line
You say that like they didnt rob us of a try lmfao.We won and won well.
Just checking: are the referees and NRL still ‘corrupt’??
Look forward to all the position change suggestions for Good Friday . #GoDogs
Way too rusty, if Xerri does play FG it will be towards the end of this year, or until he finds FG form.Funny how things are about perspective I have watched all the Reggie’s games and Xerri isn’t even fucking close to Defending at centre in FG IMO
Agreed. I've felt for a while that he's sticking to the system, the basis of which was a promise to the players; train hard, buy in, 100% effort all the time and I'll back you. As frustrating as 2023 was, those players now know hard work and setting standards brings rewardsafter Watching the replay last night, it’s evident that cc is trying to build team chemistry within the squad and its the reason why he’s not moving the squad around position wise… they played like a team yesterday even if titans were shit, they put 30+ points on us last year… hopefully we can continue to build chemistry over the coming weeks and with thst will come more and more confidence….

Hipoi had a huge game - Exactly what we need!!Given the poor quality of the opposition yesterday, that was effectively a trial game.
The 2024 season starts next Friday.
The main selection question for Ciraldo will be who does JAC replace?
Tracey, Wilson or Taaffe?
If there are changes to the bench only Patolo and Hopoi looked like they could handle promotion based on the NSW Cup game. Possibly Kautoga.
Todd does look promising.
Scratch that, they attacked our line ONCE the whole game, that fuck up by Foran/Brimson.Watching the replay, they literally attacked our line once in the first half.
The player that loves this rule change the most is KiksJust watching this game again and this is actually some really smart coaching from Ciraldo, the whole team has been switched on to the no blockers rule and making sure they where all putting pressure on Boyd kicking on the last. That rule change is going to put a lot of pressure on Halfbacks like Cleary who are used to having lots of time and space to kick. Every side in the comp will be doing this next weekend.
Yup !!Home ground advantage makes a big difference mate.
I reckon if that game was played at a lifeless Accor stadium with 12,000 fans then the score line is nowhere near as dominant
Boyd……….not so muchThe player that loves this rule change thr most is Kiks
I reckon he is still in the corner in the fetal positionBoyd……….not so much
Easy, drop Taafe for Tracey at FB with JAC back on the wing problem solved.How we gonna break it to JAC that we are better without him
Yep, simplesEasy, drop Taafe for Tracey at FB with JAC back on the wing problem solved.
Or KirazI don't think Taafe has succesfully taken a contested bomb in all 3 games and it is definitely a weakness that we need to fix. We can't keep giving the ball back to the opposition so close to our line
Taafe has enthusiasm and plenty of energy but he isn't contributing that much to the team and I think eventually will be "bombed" out of the team
CC will surely stick with him this week but for me Tracey should be fullback
