I’ve been impressed defensively with what he’s displayed so far. Yes granted against lesser quality opposition but still men none the less. There won’t be any pressure on him this week to take any control, kicking responsibilities, etc. I think Seibs and the squad would be happy for him to play...

Very funny the general perception down here in the Sydney media and Mr Joe Public, are that Cronulla were decimated with injuries/suspension and they had no chance to begin with. Our performance from Saturday is being overlooked and I have a feeling this is the start of a turning point and we...

These big games are won and lost by the smallest of margins. Dearden, whilst an unknown, would provide a point of difference and could give us a slight edge as Souths and Bennett would not be able to game plan for him. I'm on board too!

Anyone know how much is Kodi on? Surely we wouldn’t let him go now as it will only weaken our squad and impact our chances in 2019. There is absolutely no upside for us apart from this creating an opportunity to blood Dearden. Even so we can do this with Knik in reserve grade and we still keep...

First half was electric and everything we’ve expected from Seibold and this team so far. Intensity, hard running, discipline and some attacking invention and guile. Second half we looked like a team just going through the motions knowing we already had the win locked up. Huge room for...

And butter fingers to accompany his speed. The bloke has been okay in his first two games but let’s not get carried away. They should be more nervous with our backline. Especially on the left hand edge where Nikora is missing through suspension and Xerri in his third match up against Milford...

All, Whoever it was that made the decision to release McGuire, be it the board, Bennett or Seibold... can we just agree to disagree? He wouldn't get into our best 17 and his departure will only help to solidify contract negotiations with some of our younger boys. Let's move on and focus on the...

Given the closeness of the competition that probably won't be enough points. We may very well see a scenario like last year where teams 5 - 8 were all on 32 points (15 wins) We need a minimum 2 wins from the next 3 games otherwise our season is near mathematically done. Let's get behind the...

I’m a huge fan of Su’a as well, but reality is he deserved to get dropped. Whether it’s being played out of position, poor form or looking a little unfit I’m not sure, but Fifita has overtaken him this season and is our best edge forward right now. There is a huge job ahead of Su’a, because...

What was the point of signing SOS on a 2 year deal then if he isn't a realistic option? Yes I agree Dearden needs more time, but I see no logical reason why SOS can't be given a shot. Especially when our current line-up is struggling and we have one of the weakest halfbacks in the league...

Still hungover from the weekend? I've seen Milford make plenty of strong defensive efforts over the past 3 years, including some one on one tackles on the line. Yes granted he makes mistakes and misses some tackles, but he is an above average defender for all halves in the league. Everything...

Kahu would only be a starter at about 4 or 5 sides and he landed at one. Also McGuire has been on a slow decline for the past 18 months and we were all commending the club in the pre season for smartly releasing them and freeing up cap space for our emerging guys. Truth is the players who have...

As a few others have pointed out earlier our biggest issue is on defense. Don’t forget our “struggling” attack just put 22 points on Canberra, bombed one late in the first half and had a try to Nikorima disallowed at the start of the 2nd half from a joke of an offside call. Why isn’t this being...

Cmon mate you can’t be serious? They aren’t like they were in previous seasons, they have easily a bottom 8 pack, are slow and ageing and in general the side is carrying cluster injuries. Our forwards are scary good when they play in their actual positions. For a team that is first on the table...

Unfortunately we could have Luke Keary or DCE and they would still be receiving passes off the ground and not at their chest

I can handle losing if we are genuinely the worse team over the 80 minutes but I haven’t been able to say that for the last 3 weeks and it is breaking me each week. That pinball, offside deflection try sums up our luck this year. If there is one benefit from the loss.... I pray to god we see a...

Un-fucking believable! We were the better side for the majority of the game yet again in most areas and defensive lapses and poor sets were our downfall. People can say Canberra are good but if they are the best in the comp we are not far off despite our record of 1-5. Which is abysmal and we...

Don't forget in consecutive weeks before that too...with Knights (13) and Cowboys (15) errors practically giving Canberra territory at will. Any defense would look good under these circumstances as they are not faced with any pressure or fatigue. The one team they have played so far in 2019...

I've been saying the same thing for a while too. He needs discipline and consistency if he wants to even think about getting near the top players in the game. How people compare him to Taumalolo on a week to week basis at the moment is laughable. Like I love the bloke, but no one is bigger than...

Anyone know why Lodge is not in this week's line-up? I didn't see him listed as picking up an injury over the weekend and he wasn't cited by the MRC...
