Least amount of disruption as possible. That means every other spine member remains as-is, Jock Madden into #7.
Don't think it is fair to judge him solely based on the Penrith game. Plenty of adversity to deal with and being 30 points down, what were any of us expecting at that point.
Give him...
90 minutes to team lists being released.
I want to see the same 1-17 as last week.
Melbourne definitely have some advantages with rest/freshness and the likely return of their star players. Being realistic, a close loss would do no harm to us psychologically and is probably likely TBH.
If we...
Last night should be seen as inspiration.
Penrith missing Cleary, Fish and Sorensen is very similar to us with Walsh, Haas and Piakura. No excuses or negativity. Next man up mentality and they transitioned seamlessly and beat a better opponent than who we are facing.
If our aim is to be on the...
If this signing is confirmed, then I'm a little scared that both our depth back rowers couldn't get into the Dragons rotation... but for the best balance to our side right now, I'd take experience over a rookie. Just get fully fit and wound up come August and beyond FFS!
Let's all lighten the mood a little! At least we have some key weapons out injured due to return....
It wasn't that long ago that this would've been out best 17 fully fit!
Whilst we are no doubt weaker in the middle of the park without Haas, their starting duo of the aging McLean and JT certainly aren't striking fear into us.
The Cows have used their ball-playing and firepower on the edges to score the majority of their points so far in 2024 but that is where we...
My positives from the game:
2nd half spirit was impressive, under all of that adversity and missing key leaders. Could've packed it in.
Ezra Mam is a confidence player. His 2nd half was very good and should set him up for the rest of the season
Cobbo is going to become one of the game's elites...
For all of those saying we have no chance...do you remember round 1 last year and the fact that we were missing Walsh?
Although the losses are huge, this team is better positioned and more resilient to be able to cope.
Only have to look at the Storm. Were without two of their best, Munster and...
Is our side, minus Reynolds and Haas (assuming he can't go) better than the version of the Eels that played Penrith on Friday night?
I would say they're on par...So don't agree with the disrespect amongst the general public that the Panthers will wipe us. Don't forget Fisher-Harris is going to...
For all the frustrating moments and dumb errors, you can't deny this side is box office. Haven't seen an attacking force like this in years.
If we can learn to be better composed, patient and build pressure consistently then this side could absolutely be anything....
Season starts tonight.
We do all the fundamentals and roll through the front door we will win.
Just don't want the boys looking ahead to a grand final rematch next week and get complacent!
