Leeezzzzgggooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Depends how close to the eye of the storm you are. In Darwin, I've seen the window panes bend outwards....

Be interesting to see how much preparation for rd 2 is affected by this cyclone? The team may have to stay in Sydney longer than expected? But that is next weeks problem. With Walters at #14, expect that he gets a fair run out here. Paix is a lot of things on the ball - he is a defensive...

God, imagine the Roosters exploiting THAT particular loophole....

Pros and cons arent there. Super league had them, thought they were pretty successful. But you also open the can on counterfiet version prolifertaing as clubs tune into just how mcuh cash they can bring in with these licensed versions. I reckon they would be a hit. I bet the US based viewers...

Canterbury's CEO is pushing to have player names written across the back of game day jerseys. So, what do you guys think?

I was hoping the two players needed were two new backrowers...!

What a shame about Staggs. Just when I thought we could begin a season virtually injury free. It's a loss, one of the few true strike centres in the game, plus what he gives us coming out of yardage. Big shoes to fill. I "do" believe that this roster has brought into what Madge is selling...

My favourtie for breakout player of the season. Again, his defensive first mindset balances out the rest of the forwards well. Our defence "needs" to dramatically improve. Kobe is the first step in the right direction for me.

No bones about it - thats an astonishing achievement...

No...he hits hard and low, doesnt allow the runner to gain his front or poke through the ad-line. Obv. not 100% of the time but enough to make the difference...

Which, incidentally, is why i like Kobe as a potential breakout player here. Good defensively, wins the ruck, slows the play the ball down due to his tackling technique. If you are trying to turn our defensive stats around from last year - makes perfect sense to start that process like this...

It's not the "squad" more than it is what can you do with it. Need i remind everyone Brisbane had one of the worst defensive records in the league last season, and one of the worst yardage in metres gained per match. Can anyone find a team that turned both of those around to be one of the...

Yeh....if i stop squinting....theres very little there isn there... I wonder if this is the season where the "feel-good" signing of our summer was Ben Hunt... ...where as the signing the team "needed" was a NRL standard second rower...?

I was under the impression Gos and Hunt could be considered "depth" there..? Am I wrong in that assumption?

What a turnaround for Paix, honestly thought he was done here, and wasting a roster spot in our top 30. He is in the side today on merit, no question. I owe the kid a apology...

I think last season, with virtually no back row depth, Riki had to start every game if fit. There really was no consequence to him simply going through the motions in games - who was replacing him? With luck, the new coach and some added depth means he has to turn up each game. Madge doesnt...

Gutted for Hayze, never like to hear this news about any player. Wishing him a speedy recovery. Hunt did look good. I'm leaning more into our breakout player in 2025 being Kobe...

I wanted to sum up my feelings behind the Hunt signing, but then realised Rugby League Writers have actually done it better than me so... Here is what they said; Finally, Ben Hunt has found a new home as the last moving chair. A State of Origin and Kangaroos halfback/hooker is joining a...

I just want someone- anyone really - to imbed into these players the importance of THAT jersey, of playing with THAT badge next to your heart. I know Gamble wasn't the most talented, but he gave a shit. B.Walters isn't the most talented hooker - but he cares about the club and what it means for...
