Worth looking at for FB if the kids like Mazzone and Cochran don't develop.

Those dummy half efforts... Blahh! Excused for first round fatigue.

Doubt he pulls Mahoneys numbers and energy for 80min.. Mahoney plays 40min a game he will probably double Paixs.

Definitely has a few extra gears.

Yeah not sure CC is the type... Maybe the 17 but not the 19/20. BUT we'll see what happens.

Yuck. Just Uber the *****.

That makes sense. Keen to see what happens.

I Agree, its only good when its empty. But I love the fact i can walk to the stadium :hearteyes:

What if Hayesi pulled up lame? Only plays if he has too... Cant forget he is still a kid playing decent mins out of his natural position. Find out more later in the week.

Questioning is one thing, being a Mr know it all with fcuk all knowledge of the reasoning is another hence why I am left confused not infuriated.

At the end of the day i would prefer Salmon over Hawyard anyway. Hayes for Hayward.

When u have Salmon/Mann in the team Hayward makes no sense at all. Hayward out, Hayes in all day. We are already 1 forward short, confusing AF.

People don't understand the impact and concept of communication, direction and experience on an NRL footy field. Some, just see the attack side of things or revert to data. It really does go to show who has actually played, coached or trained is any aspects of RL.

Dont need literature to scoot baby..

Not really tbh.. the space to run was there and the fat defender made a wonder tackle. We'd probably be shitty if he didn't run it tbf. And yes Ben Hunt would have been perfect for him, instead once again since he has come to the dogs he has to figure out how to NRL halves it all by himself...

He's 24. Wonder what level he'll be at with 2-3 years development? Surely one of the best halves in the comp considering he is an all rounder.

Sub plots were absolute fizzers then. Like a movie that gets a massive budget for marketing and advertising but is absolute TRASH!

Hope it's us starting our quintet..

8 points but they weren't close games.. u just knew who was going to win. The floggings u could see coming.. no idea why the NRL matched em up tbh. Absolute bludgers.. I literally fast forwarded games I was looking forward to kicking back putting the feet up and relaxing whilst watching 2 teams...

Just before HT Parra get the ball on the try line after Melbourne drop it... Parra get tackled, Melbourne hold on for 7 secs deliberately slowing the play the ball. Ref gives Parra 6 again on zero tackle instead of binning a player. If this is how the season will go... Congratulations...

Hmmm does he?

Yeah but how do you leave a club that pays you 1.something mil a year and you only pay tax for 2/3 of it?

Is this one of the worst 1st rounds of footy anyone has witnessed? Has any game actually been competitive? Besides Riff v Sharks which the refs ensured was close, they have all been bog average footy games. Like even the dogs game yesterday got boring yesterday...

No doubt, but they have plenty of strike, gonna be hard keeping their switch turned off. Fafita, Brimson, Campbell. Kill Kini like last year.

Banana literature is not my forte'.

Tipping Titans to make a real dent this year, surprise pack incoming. Gonna be a cracker game... Hopefully we a full strength for this one, having Critta on their left edge is crucial.

Lmao.... That would be a golden sledge!

Just letting you know i didnt read that and im not going to.

Knowing Seibold, he got caught in the moment.. Plus they were so on top it wasnt funny and Trbo needed the miles considering no trial footy.

I dont see what for tbh... They were playing uptempo footy, throwing the ball around... Dont see how a big unfit guy would help in that situation chasing the ball around the field.

Successful First NRL game in over a year after a knee reco.. brah... ICE that shit up! Long season ahead.

Seibolds a dickhed.

Logic tells you trust the blokes that are actually seasoned professionals at what they do with all the data and context needed to do the job.. No offence bro but ill stick with logic on this one.

Has he torn his calf? I've done that once when I thought I cramped.. kept running and tore the calf.. so wouldn't be surprised. Hopefully not, they're shit things that heal slowly.

I think people forget is still only 24 too.

Was it a mistake? When u really think about it, Game was won, round 1, DSF/Satili/Mann are precious gems now whilst Salmon/Hayward are expendables. Pretty sure the coaches were just trying to close out the game without too much damage. Long year, hardly win a comp in round 1. Next time you'll...

Hmm but it is Critt, they love the Critt and they did already fcuk us over with Curran to justify their new dumb rule. Surely a fine Sufficient..

Im with you, still reckon its worth seeing Curran/Mann combo first, just to be sure and playing DSF in a rotating role with Hughes, Satili with King. It leaves you with a free spot really....

So i replayed, slowed down and quadripled checked to see if Crighton actually knee'd him... Unless my eyes are fcuking me over, he didnt knee him. He connected with his thigh, is that dangerous? Worth a week espescially if the guy didnt get Ko'd from it?

Keep Salmon u have to drop DSF or Hayes...

Lol wasnt asking you... go to sleep.

Still laughing at the pre-presser when his old man was so proud of him just at making it to NRL level let alone 100 games.. Umm yeah because he wouldve done it without Daddy's help.

Curran or Salmon starting lock?

He struggles with the workload as a rake unless its shorter mins. Keeping Hayward means u need to play another dummy half. In saying that we dont have any other hookers coming through...

Got him walkin up the tunnel bleeding... Gem.

Dont listen to that bloke... blokes a footballer, tough team player. No frills as fcuk and a fill in once the team is fully fit. He first stint with DSF and King set up the game for the bench.

Pressures off and its also Mainly due to other team dropping a gear or two... Lesson learnt today was dont drop gears.

Dnt get sucked in to the Nego black hole mate..... Stay with the light!!! Stay with the light!! How about RFM coming off buckled? You reckon CC had a little chuckle with the boys?

CC is taking the piss if our bench isnt Mann Satili DSF Hayes

We won when their bench was literally in the sheds getting diagnosed by the Docs after they tried to go toe to toe. We are a mongrel of a squad, under done and under manned and we still embarrassed them in front of a pack home crowd. Should have put 40 on them but meh they we never in the...

I agree Tracy had an absolute cracker. Montoya also made a big difference out there today.

I called to see Satili and Mann combo off the bench during the pre season with Curran at starting lock, i honestly didnt think CC would do it but MANNNNN what a 1,2 punch. Add Harry to it who is always growing as a player and DSF proving he is NRL standard.. Im so fukinghappy our bench is...

Flange buying Cook when he had a better rake at the club already lol

What a beast ay... I always liked him, even when he was a reserve grader playing for Newtown and saw what he did at the Roosters BUT fcuk me when did he get so big a strong?? Bloke was a Goliath out there today!

I think CC, Luke, Jason, Touma, Chad and Mo saw plenty. We got fcuk all knowledge on them as a collective and we cetainly dont know the madness behind the method. As I said, a fully fit outfit will most likely NOT include either of Haywood/Salmon and instead of bringing on Salmon/Hayward on...

I thought the same thing.. probs would've gone for the corner and bombed it.

When we havea fuly fit squad next week

Only shit thing tbh.. game was won with 20 to go yet the boys shit the bed. I don't care about the interchanges, live and learn shit but the cramping business was a weird one.

Live and learn for all.. players and coach. Ud think if we have kiraz, Hughes and Curran available we wouldn't go into cruise mode with Reggie's. Cant forget plenty of boys were cramping up out there which was weird tbh..

Reminds me of Patten and a grubber.

Didn't touch it.. should've had his foot on line Though but happy he just caught it. Caught a few kick offs actually and looked comfortable.

Dont give a fcuk... would rather Montoya and his aggression over a lazy JAC.

Curran Mann Dsf Satili Hayes/Todd Salmon/Haywood

Burton average.. ok.

He has always been one of the best next to the Sharks backrowers.

Don't worry about the forwards in that one..

Like that precious tool you hate using!

IMagine injecting Kiraz, Curran and Hughes into this team.

WHO!

Lol dragons... 1 bullshit try and a try with Critta out of the line. HAHAHAHAHA! FLosp!

Tuipolotu is easily the biggest flop in the game... He has taken the mantle off Mulitalo.

He did an ankle like 15min ago...

Can you imagine how much he is going to learn off Satili now. Im getting excited.

Division 1 vs division 2 right here!

Dragons done already... no line speed AT ALL!

tbh.. Montoyas agression over JAC 2024 version all day.

Only dead set morons. We knew this kid was a gem from that JF final.

Is he? He was icing up a massive swollen face in the sheds at half time unless im trippin out?

How about the Dragqueens trying to go toe to toe with this lot... LOL! CC and co have got this squad up for a fight... Just need to get our attack firing now.

He copped a knock.. looks bad as.. i think his cheek is goneskis.

In a fully fit team Hayward/Salmon drop out. Hayes keeps his spot, his an absolute gem.

Done! AND FOR WHAT FFS! Aitkens the flop all over the dogs. Critta connected with upper thigh... not evena knee in it, shouldt have been a try! Presto continued his line and no malice in it nor hit him high... If ANYTHING maybe a fine.

Politis must not be a Hip hop kind of guy?

Bro i wonder how good the guy would be if he just slowed down a little bit.

Nothing to do with benching Mann does it? lol

Tbh the Mann/Satili/Hayes turn around was a s impact as u get.

Again! last time he did his ACL didnt he?

Mann DSF Satili Hayes We are a heavy weight.

DSF DSF DSF!!

Only thing holding back Panthers aand Broncs is the age of some players. Storm are just mature across the park. Fcuk em game Started!

Bro, they have no weaknesses. They're not cap compliant.

Regardless, nobody is touching the Storm this year unless they cop some bad injuries to key personel.

What happened to Kade Dykes?

6 min. We have arrived... please score first.

Wish we were full strength fullstop.

Hammer butchered it on the bell?

Nah bruz ! They played Kenny over the best hooker in the comp in a GF and it was a master stroke. Thats just one off the top of my head... Im sure there was plenty over the course of 5-6years.

If he excels from this point on, he will bleed blue and white for life.

Well can you imagine how predictable we will be able if we play the same line-up and style for 27 games + final series? Listen surely we cant be dissing CC approach... Bloke has just seen how its done, multiple times.

If we win, who gives a shit tbh. Call it a Salmon Master Stroke! :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy:
