    Official Ciraldo on Addo Carr return

    The Fox of old might have scored. When was the last time you saw Fox back himself? Last year he started cutting back inside and taking the tackle. Then kicked off the Parramatta game with the one chance he got by not backing himself. I’m not getting the knives out for Fox but he is not the...

    Official Ciraldo on Addo Carr return

    I was pushing for Xerri from the start but watching him in Reggies he hasn’t helped himself with some of his defensive reads. Whenever Fox is back I would have Taaffe at 7 and Tracey at 1. This won’t happen as CC doesn’t make unforced changes ever.

    Let's talk about our defense.

    Second phase play will be our biggest killer. At the backend of both the Parra & Sharks game it was our inability to shut the ball down that saw us on the back foot with holes in our defensive line. That being said particularly the Parra game everything the through out the back found a player...

    Addo-Carr cleared of fracture | soft tissue injury to be confirmed

    Xerri will come in at right centre Wilson & Kiraz on the wing. Crichton to stay at left centre. Is how I think CC will roll. I would bring in Xerri for Fox, Burton left centre, Crichton right centre & Wilson right wing. I think Kiraz still isn’t right.
