    Official Supercoach & other comps 2025

    Thanks mate, but I'll just stick to the SuperCoach Open league again. I tried last year to run a SC and NRLFantasy team and it was too much work to do both of them properly. Hopefully though we can encourage everyone who is in SC H2H to be part of the Open league so it isn't merely a nothing...

    Who do you hate? All NRL clubs ranked

    This is really just a measure of how successful a team has been. Outside traditional rivals, we rank low because no one is losing to us on a regular basis. Need to climb back up this ladder!

    Karl Oloapu

    To be honest, this is how I'm starting to feel. We've now let go some guys with amazing potential and it's hard not feel like this is the mid-2000s again. We could have had a 2000s dynasty if we kept players like Thurston and Asotasi (instead of those we prioritised who ultimately left anyway)...

    If you could switch 1 GF win with a GF loss from 1979 till now which would you switch?

    Bronson Xerri or Jeral Skelton?

    Moving beyond the short-term, Xerri was only signed for 2 years - if he does rediscover his old form and speed, he might actually become too expensive for 2026 and beyond. We could wrap up Skelton for a few years though for basically nothing.

    Why do you all keep blaming Burton for goal kicking?

    Came here to say this very thing. I think the logic is definitely that they want him doing captain stuff in the huddle. Whether or not it's right, they must think that this has a bigger impact than a few extra conversions a game.
