Older person is the safe option though. Sometimes imo this hampers growth, as leaders arent willing to take the risk. The beauty of life especially when the human element is involved

100% mate. The thing that is so incorrect is the people that call them cocky etc. Its not intentional imo, its just their generation. If people dont realise and cant evolve and see this to me thats the bigger problem. There are shit ones no doubt bro, u can flush them out pretty quick though

Its a different era though. Im not sure what answer is, id probs look towards American or english top level sports for comparison. They would be years ahead of us in this type of situation.

All i know is people with talent especially in todays age get treated special. Otherwise u lose them, simple as that. Some of the demands i hear from certain younger staff blows my mind. Tbf some of it is deserving though, the problem is the old heads, dinosaurs at work cant handle it. The only...

People do work in 2026 with younger employees yeah. The old mouth shut, head down bum up is so old dated. The generation now is different, its been bred into them from young ages to chase and challenge the norm etc. Im not saying its right or wrong but its common place now. I see the best young...

Criita to learn his lessons

@Berries have u been arrested yet

forgot that flog was reffing tonight. Gonna be a bore

I know people bag Galvin, but i cant see us scoring point any other way. Maybe through the middle, Haywood isnt very crafty though

well I'm excited again, bloody nrl. At least keep me interested for the 80mins hey. If we get towelled up again god only knows what I’ll do

Get it done boys. Fark this build pressure shit, it aint working. Throw it around offload at will. Have some fun

Does Kurt Mann come on for Haywood?? Our middles actually look ok, i feel they will do there job fine. We will probs dominate first 20 again, problem is if we dont score we are cooked. Sharks dont have the speed of teams that trouble us. They have good hole runners on the edge

Ive been calling for Tracey the whole year. Glad everyone is on board now. Took a lot of convincing to some early on

Two things we aint got at present. A happy team or a fast team.

I hate souffs but that try to go 14-0 was epic. The passage of play was next level

Fatty plays the larrikin. Takes a very smart man to play that role.

I agree with this. Ur suddenly playing on big stage, TV, big crowd. Will naturally play better. Most players dont shine straight away anyway when promoted. U just wanna see them hold their own. If the opposite number doesn't outplay them thats a win.

Sometime when games are too close, i leave the house and go for a walk. Check updates on my phone. I get to stressed!

Maybe best for social media hiatus and watch replay Sunday arvo. Build anticipation over whole weekend. I feel more would get achieved and be more enjoyable like u say

If i start drinking now, does that make the game tomorrow more enjoyable? Maybe for me, not sure the family

Well deserved and couldn't be happier if comes true. Just dont get injured now!!

Penrith arent flashy either but. They have built there dynasty on grit. Having Cleary does help also

Yeah that would be smart. I thought game was trying to stop this, be hard to police though

U have to spend basically all of allocated amount in the cap. So even if your team is shit, theres players making big bucks

A little yes.

Some of the tries were top shelf, crisp as. Actually a joy to watch after our boring games

Hows the crowd noise, epic

I know some are against the high scores bit this is entertaining as imo. Cant turn away

Tough run hey. Didnt even think about cutting in

What a beast

What a kick. Is Walker a natural left footer??

Going off the ladder and points for and against, our D is actually still pretty good compared to other sides. Especially given where we are on ladder. Its our attack that is diabolical hey. Guess we need to keep practicing the sweep play at training

Hope souffs dont come back from here somehow. They have a lot of strike.

Our pack is strong enough to be able to build from within now. King and Thompson, Kikau and preston is solid pack. Jack Todd was being groomed for the 13 role, wtf has happened here. He looked a top class prospect. Buy a hooker and that pack is done. U have young bulls off the bench, Hayes...

What be interested in what our average age is. I know Chooks have some old players, also a good sprinkling of youth though.

Bud , champ. Lol, im married if i went out for dinner i wouldnt be on a forum an hour later lol. Id be having a different kind of fun champ!!!

Cool story

Didnt u go out for dinner lol. Back on the kennel!! U made a point of saying with ur wife lol, champ. Think if i went out with my wife i aint on a forum afterwards, lol!!!!!

Righto, yesterdays hero has spoken

Apparently the game is boring lol the dinosaurs!!!

Wuh??

I just freeze frames a few plays. Chooks are back no more then 8 meters at best. Why is that allowed??

Just train at catching them imo. Cant be hard to knock the ball back 20m to where majority of team is. Why one player goes up for it is amazing, so simple

We get plenty of repeat sets, just suck at defending short drop out!!!!

If stayed down he would be in bin i reckon

We do, just no one chases

Walsh and Teddy the fans wanna watch

So true, everyone wants to see attacking play. Only the old dinosaurs want one out hit ups etc!!

The game and fans want points. Its entertainment hey, like the dogs late 70’s. The boring hit up style looks to be dying thank god

Crisp as his service. Its beautiful to watch

Thought u liked front on defence lol. DCE runs the other way

Imagine we had Robson or Teddy!!

What did he do?? Robson and Tedesco set that up

Lol, was off back of Robson and Tedesco simple as that. We dont have a nine or a one. DCE did a typical straight run

I been calling for Tracey for some time now. How he had escaped scrutiny from media and gained an extention is bizarre to say the least. Fullback is basically key to winning a premiership these days

How do u just do what parra did and not score. That play was insane, games so hard these days

Who said that.

Pretty sure i read he won best player of tournament in Australian schoolboys one year playing number 6.

Pretty obvious imo. These two spots are hurting us immensely. More than anything else.

Well written mate.

We need to blood more. Only thing is i would rest every few weeks or so. Just until the speed and tenacity of week in week out footy is realised. Must be a big ask week on week when first introduced to NRL. Hayes missing is a massive out hey, it shows

Ive done this many times when kicking off presentations etc in the workplace. Its not that big a deal. Actually a nice way to warm up the vocal chords prior to delivering the presentation.

It seems pretty obvious to me. Galvin will play six whenever Woods is ready. I assume club expected Woods this year at some stage. Next year at worst. I will go on record right now as saying, in next couple years Galvin will be an absolute freak. U can see it, he just needs the game to suit. U...

Blame Lachie ‍

Would of put us in front. He would be having nightmares over that play. Havent seen one butchered like that for a very long time

I watched some highlights of when we were going ok, late 25 and into 26. Some of that Tracey was actually creating off the sweep play. He sometimes would cut theough or at worst create numbers and pass on. He hasn't done that once this year .

Burton ran hard. There both 6’3, should be running over teams!!

He did get a few repeat sets. His short kicking is good, should stick to that. No long ones

Its a hard one for either. Cirro plays critta on left to start year. Then brings him back to right. Preston plays left tonight. Hes normally on galvins hip. Cant keep changing combos imo

How funny was Tracey attempt on tackle of Burns second half 20mins to go. Burns put his foot out thankfully, bit Tracey dove straight past him. Wtf

Just watched replay, Haywood is shite but Mahoney was just as bad. He let Galvin stroll in for try knocked on when in attack couple times. We just need a better hooker than Haywood. Has to be someone in our system

Tracey has had 3 previous knee reconstructions. What the hell

To slow and cant tackle

Debut Dykes now. Rinikama needs a go also. What the hell happened to Jack Todd

Mahoney cost is many games tbf. He wasnt the answer, Haywood def isnt either though. His too slow and tackle is horrible for the middle. Mitch Kenny is my ideal hooker

Zero wingers, and a captain thats doing sweet fark all. The clubs in bit of bother

It smothered us, wtf. Smothered us with chances

We have worst 1 & 9 in the comp

We have huge problems. Worst spine in comp. Slowest team in comp

Its the constant moving players all the time

If only Sua knew how to pass. Poor bloke he will have nightmares over that one

Not a first grader now lol.

Not sure why we swap and change everything all the time. Pick a player in one spot and say this is what we wanna see u work on. Instead we move here and there, its crazy

I wouldnt say a cat. He runs more than anyone and takes deep in line. Thats the opposite of being a cat. His D has improved, yet his attack is going backwards.

Its improved outta site. Made a couple of stops on crash plays yes. Last year he was running the other way

I dont watch cup. Tell me he has speed?? Surely thats enough to take Tracey spot, well very close to taking it

Not tough enough for nrl. Our defensive style made him look good last year. Massive line speed and everyone covering for eachother. That high intensity defence looks to hard these days to maintain. His one on one D is horrible. Pass speed average for a hooker. Kicking game pretty ordinary, im...

Is that his natural position? If so is he close to first grade??

Is lineup correct and SOS played fullback?? Surely the fark not

Sua showed how hard the demands of nrl are. Was disappointing compared to last week. As were all tbf. We play so deep in attack, which is crazy for a side as slow as ours. We cant afford to be dropping 1-2 metres every tackle

I know he made mistakes late but thought Thompson was one of our best. Shows how bad we were imo. 3Sitili 2Thompson 1Xerri

One thing that has shocked me about Galvin, his defence has improved out of sight. Attack has gone backwards but defence which i thought was his major downfall is actually very good now. Ciro is obviously a good defensive coach. Attack but is scary bad at moment

Judging by run out we win

Thanks mate, i was thinking one of top two. Wouldnt/couldnt be MND hey?

Do we know what it is??

This i agree with. Refreshing to see someone so young having such a go. I cant remember seeing that before at similar age. Yes theres much improvement but it ain't through hiding.

No Montoya, we are a chance. Saves us 12 points right there

Dont know. Its a hard one, he either misses out unfortunately, or u shift someone. Critta to wing and Tuala centre. Or Critta fullback and Tuala centre.

Resort sounds like it will be amazing. Sounds odd being so good but would get bored of that eventually though. Well get cabin fever more to point. Either way great win for players, id just take Perth for less cash. Assuming i had made enough in game already. Different for a fringe player imo...

There a lot of crime simple as that. It may be fine, i dont know. I do know people that have lived there recently and for extended time. Majority if not all had security presence. I dont know if the norm just what i have heard
