One of my best mates is friends with Ryan James and when he left the club he relayed a very similar critique of Kevie as we heard from Cobbo on the podcast. He is a great bloke and jokes around but provides very little in the way of a game plan and actually coaching players to be better via...

@Big Del I agree with you that you need both and I wasn't suggesting that you only take the kick-arses approach. However, from what I have seen and heard from people closer than me is that Kevie is too nice, too friendly, and jokes around too much. Additionally, because he follows the extreme...

@Big Del Bellamy has made a pretty good career out of being an arse kicker, maybe it can work? You just need to watch a couple of interviews with current or past players to know how he is.

I agree he should go and I believe it should be now, he has had 4 years. If Bellamy, Bennett, Robinson, or even Ciraldo had our roster we consistently make the 4. The question is who do we go to? I think we need a hard-headed coach like Madge to get these kids in line and harden them up and stop...

I am sure it has been mentioned on here before, but does anyone else have a problem with the fact that when Walsh isn't playing he hardly ever attends the home games? He lives on the GC, how hard is it to come up and support your team. It has happened multiple times this year and I think is a...

What did Reynolds say?

Fogarty is back for the Raiders this week and he did his bicept in round 7. I don't think we should push Reyno despite our desperate need to win.

I hope so but it will be an amazing recovery. Our Head of Performance said 3.5 weeks ago that it would be a 4-6 week injury and required surgery.

Nrl Physio is saying that Reynolds could return in 3 months. That's round 22 and even if it's 4 months that's still before the finals so we just need to stay in the top 8 until then.

The Courier Mail

We are expecting Oates to play 80 on the wing so we could manage his workload in the backrow and it wouldn't be too dissimilar. Just get him to do fewer hitups and focus on tackling. Alternatively, I think we need a capable defender in the backrow more than we need Staggs in the centres. Not...

He also said that either Patty or Fletcher would play out on the edge if Riki doesn't play. Hasn't he learned that we lose too much when Patty isn't in the middle and that Fletcher is too slow and will be targeted. Oates, Patterson (or whatever his name is), even Staggs, would all be better options.

Kobe came up as a dummy half if I'm not mistaken.

A front row rotation of Haas, Jenson, Willison, and Big Ben is pretty formidable. Not sure if the two young lads can handle the rest of the season but they look really good and next year, our go forward will be ridiculous.

Badel is saying that the $1.1 package is "bolstered by a third-party deal" so hopefully we aren't putting the full $1.1 on the cap

Why isn't Kevie activating Sailor as the 18th man if Walsh isn't coming back on? It's stupid. We could move Cobbo back to centre and shore up that edge

CM is reporting that we have gone to the market for a backrower and have c.$300k to spend. Who do you think we could get for that?

I am really disappointed that Hunt isn't on the bench. Kevie basically admitted that putting Patty out on the edge was a mistake and that they would look at it. With Flegler gone, there isn't enough power in the middle to take up the slack if Patty isn't there. Unless Kevie now plans to move...

Ramadan is a month long event not a week and usually the fasting is done throughout the whole month during light hours so Payne will be playing all month on an empty stomach if it is a day game. The Broncos work closely with him and set up different things for him. They would have a bit of...

Does anyone know what the longest Piakura has gone for without an injury for the last 3 years? I would think it is the back end of last season. He seems very injury prone and I really hope that his body can handle a full season of NRL. In a position we have very little depth it is concerning but...
