Just hear me out lads and trust me. 1.Meaney (best we have at this position) 2. Allan (best we have at this position) 3. Averillo (he’s not a halfback, put him back at centre where he played well last year) 4. Schoupp (one of our best) 5. Manu (great defensively, 100x better than Okunbor) 6...

BRING IN KIKO MANU AND FUCK OKUNBOR OFF

In better news JMK looks good. Has made some bad decisions but has a lot of potential at 9.

How the fuck do we re-sign Knockonbur, who looks disinterested every week, runs soft, makes terrible defensive reads and has bad hands. Yet we haven't re-signed Lewis, who isn't the most polished player but tackles his arse off and has a decent kicking game.

No mate, it was 3 on 3 rewatch it.

I have no idea why Manu was dropped. He actually has mungrel in defense and runs hard.

He's such a soft cock, he hates contact Okunbor.

Bring Manu on for Okunbor.

Okunbor is fucked.

Averillo should be playing fullback or running 6. He's a strong ball runner, has potential to play a similar role to Wighton. Not a game managing 7.

OKUNBOR GET HIM OFF

Okunbor needs to go back to reserve grade. Bring in Kiko Manu or Katoa.

Okunbor does no work out of our end. Should have Kiko Manu on the wing.

Keen to see how our hooker combination goes today. I think we will see JMK/BOO rotate next year too barring any signings at 9.

Once he stops kicking the ball out on the full he will be even better.

Read this on the telegraph this morning thought I'd share, here is the team that will be listed this afternoon. 1. Nick Meaney 2. Jayden Okunbor 3. Kerrod Holland 4. Will Hopoate 5. Reimis Smith 6. Kieran Foran 7. Lachlan Lewis 8. Aiden Tolman 9. Jeremy Marshall-King 10. Dylan Napa 11. Josh...

I'm hearing that we're working on landing some pieces for Foran and Klemmer if they are to move on to Manly/Newcastle. Word at the moment is that Manly are willing to move D. Walker to fill in our backline and free up some space so they can pay more of Foran's contract (we'll still have to...

There is no such thing as loyalty in the NRL nor should there be, but sticking to a contract shouldn't be too much of an ask. I'm tired of contracted players constantly switching teams in the NRL. There is obviously a big story at the moment regarding the possibility of Klemmer leaving for the...

Flexi five for sure, I work weekends so if I can go to one game a month I'll be happy! Up the Doggies

I'm going to try not to ramble, but here it goes. About a week ago from today, the story about the Sharks' potential salary cap breach was published by Buzz Rothfield on the DT and quickly spread to social media. On the eve of Finals footy, the integrity of the NRL was questioned ONCE AGAIN as...

Yeah fair point, but at only 22y/o he could potentially add some size to his frame and play out there. It's a bit 'what if', but I'm not sure where else he would be able to play for the foreseeable future.

It's no secret that our CTW stocks are down with the Morris brothers departing at the end of the season. While we appear to have found our halves in Lewis and Foran with Cogger backing up, it leaves JMK without a position. I'm not a huge fan of him at hooker, and I think Woolford, Brown, and...

I can see both Woolford and Harper playing with the first-grade squad next year. Hopefully they perform today.

Elliott's been one of our better players over this 4/5 run. He's working hard and giving it 100% every week. Love watching him, what he lacks in skill he more than makes up for with his workhorse mentality and his heart.

Mate he's much better on an edge, having a good passing game and creativity are two completely different things. He's developing a short passing game on the edge reading overlaps, I think he's better off there. In the middle, a more one-dimensional player like Elliott would be better suited to...

I don't think he's that creative tbh, I think he's elite at defending an edge and putting pressure on his opposing number with his hard running and short passing game. When he's locked in on the edge he's very tough to defend and usually wins that one on one battle. With Holland and Smith...

Dean Pay has been adamant about having competition at every position to create a hungry and competitive culture within the club, and I can't help but feel like that's one of the reasons why he is stacking the forward pack. I think with Rhyse Martin and CHN having experience in the centres, he...

I rate Chris Smith as a second rower as well, he runs hard. I like Ogden in the middle more than on an edge. We could also use Sue in the middle. Regardless, Jackson, RFM, Martin, and CHN are all edge players that are capable of 60+ minutes. Not sure I like the long-term commitment to CHN when...

CHN underwhelming in the centres, much better in the backrow. I would have Elliott in the middle at 13 and Jacko on the edge, he's shown that he has the offload and passing game to be one of the best second rowers in the comp Jacko, wouldn't make sense to put him back in the middle.

Lol, all seriousness what are we doing and why are we signing so many second rowers when our CTW and Hooker stocks are so low? How are we going to rotate Jacko, Martin, RFM, Elliott, Corey Harawira-Naera and Sauaso Sue? All of those blokes can play 60 minutes and there’s five of them between two...

I'm loving watching Morgan Harper develop, he's not there yet but could be a potential replacement at center/wing next year if he has a strong pre-season. We know with Deano coaching he will give the young blokes a fair crack if they've earned it. Loving the Jacko/Holland/Smith combo on the...

Fucking proud of Dean Pay for giving Martin, Lewis and Smith a chance this year. They've all shined. Dessy wouldn't have given them a crack.

We beat ourselves every week. 7 tackle set forward pass off the tap, penalty on a receiving drop out after forcing a repeat set. Get your fucken heads in the game and get the simple shit right. Ffs

I agree in a sense, however, I don't like the idea of playing Meaney simply because he's faster than Hoppa. Hoppa's ball skill, strength and positional play is way beyond Meaney's and I don't think Meaney will be ready for 25 rounds of footy next year at the NRL level.

Agreed, Hoppa is wasted at center with his ball-playing ability that he has at fullback. We look A LOT better with him at fullback.

I don't rate Meaney that highly as of right now. I think it's a good thing that he got a taste of first grade this year, but he has A LOT of work to do before he can be a good player in the NRL. He needs to put on some size, improve his positional play defensively, and develop a passing game. I...

I mean claiming a try is kind of a must with this stupid Bunker system where the on-field ruling has such a crucial impact on the VR's decision. Throwing your arms up twice because you made a shit read or failed to make a tackle is just laughable. Bloke's the biggest sook in the NRL.

Nah Boyd's a sook. Go ahead, post a Dogs player doing it twice in the same game after conceding a try on his side of the field. I'll wait... :tearsofjoy:

:tearsofjoy: I was laughing, my old man HATES him and was getting the shits every time he threw his arms up. Deadset though, he'd make a bad read and get burnt, then just throw his arms up and complain to the refs hoping they'd disallow the try :sob: great win and satisfying to look at those...

Thought you guys would get a laugh out of this. Not sure if you noticed during the game, but Boyd was complaining to the refs every time we tore up his side of the Bronx's defense. I posted a few screencaps if you guys want to have a look. It cracked me up. Not sure how to post photos in here...

Well said!

Great performance from the boys tonight, don't want to take anything away from them I was stoked. I just think our biggest issue moving forward is our lack of consistency in the last 20 minutes of each half. We start strong most weeks, and usually come out solid from halftime. However, minutes...

Thank you man, glad to be here!

I can't explain how much I want us to sign Segeyaro. Whole team would be different, imagine Segeyaro's pace out of dummy-half after Jacko, Klemmer and RFM hit the ball up next year. His kicks in behind the ruck on the goal-line getting us repeat sets, and his service to Lachie Lewis. I can't...

Really? I think we're fine in terms of edge forwards between Jacko, Martin, RFM and Elliott. I thought RFM's energy and line-running was outstanding throughout the year, Martin's been awesome and Jacko is Jacko. I think we're missing some punch in our CTW positions, no real game breaker at...
