Come to think of it, I‘d imagine Perham as a dev player will get allocated to Wynnum seeing as Souths got Siegwaldt and Burleigh got West (and I think still Toia) as fullbacks.

I think Shibasaki is the only one of note. Hopoate and Gayle are the other train and trialists and were already there. I’m eagerly awaiting a proper QRL gains and losses/season preview article but there’s one on zero tackle (but it’s a bit scratchy and lists them having nil gains). Surely...

If nuaasala carries her unbelievable pacific championship form into next season and Lafaele continues to improve her rugby league transition that’s got to be the best pack by far. Keilee as the clean up woman and Brill‘s prime Cheese impact through the middle after Jada goes off is just an...

That’s all been quite well documented but would we even want him past his current contract length? He’s got old legs, I wouldn’t really care if he did a hit and run at this point in his career. He’s not a long term signing. If we believe we’re still in our premiership window with our last year...

Are the feeder clubs capped to how many players they can put forward for T&T? Slash can madge or did Kevie have the ability to veto or weigh in on the decision? Just thrown off by Khunt’s wording there regarding choosing those with the greatest potential. I get vaihu being raw and promising and...

If we are in fact taking a look at Bateman, you’d imagine the club would explore leveraging the interest Wests reportedly showed in Hetho. As with others here, I love Hetherington as a Bronco, but unless he adds a string to his bow to play an edge competently, he is sadly surplus to our team...

Mam limbo aside, l’d sooner see us try and scavenge a decent second rower or outside back from whichever team lands Hunt, if it is in fact a Queensland team. Surely the signing team will face a salary cap pinch and reshuffle to make it happen. Some appear far fetched, but in an ideal world some...

could be absolutely nothing but my internet sleuthing noticed on an nrlw page’s post listing departing NQ players that Bri Clarke liked all the comments hoping for shaniah power to the broncos. I reckon we’re bound to sadly lose some of our heavy New Zealand contingent to the warriors and...

Dam shame Lauren is 18th woman

Far out. Dumb nuaasala brain snap aside, we’ve gotten some rough ruck calls all game. Who’s the refs cousin in the eels line up? Also totally agree on maddick call, how is this her third season as our 1. Teitzel used to be a gun fullback at Newcastle, surely she couldn’t do worse.

what’s the logic behind not naming a full extended bench? I thought I’ve read somewhere before that after a certain round you can select players outside of your top 30 and dev players and just pay them a nominal amount per round? We even medically retired Pereira. What’s the negative of at...

Agree across the board. Which is why I think when we put it together we can catch fire for parts of a game, but can just as quickly have momentum completely reverse more than just about any team. Even last year we’d get hot for 20 minutes in a game but never ride out the 80 (bar the storm finals...

I tried to articulate this point in erratic frustration during the warriors live chat thread, and as a long term fan but not a player/student of the game please somebody correct me if this view is naive or too unfair. It seems increasingly obvious we are too passive of a team and try too hard...

Sadly he’s not alone. Seems our backline are especially prone to losing the ball in contact. I spend half my time worrying we’ll spill the ball coming out of our own end, and then on the off chance we don’t, my relief is short lived when I realise we’ve only made 20-30m in our set.

Agree with Oates on the bench, but for Karapani to the wing. Keen to see Mariner show what he can bring at centre where he was so highly touted, combined with how woeful karapani’s defensive positioning was shown to be at centre. Plus Karapani has been playing the nuggety, yardage role as a...

I’ve probably been guilty of being a bit overzealous in the past to see new faces named in our team list graduating through q cup and other secondary pathways ahead of time, but I’d have thought we’d at least see a specialist second row named on our extended bench over a second hooker this week...

Same can be said for defence but it’s probably more of a vicious cycle we have to get out of. We never wrestle and push the limits of the ref and concede so so many metres. And it’s no wonder we have no line speed as we’re always on the back foot. But then once again we are always pinged when we...

This team has become diabolically bad in recent weeks. I’ve always watched as a one eyed supporter and screamed when we don’t get the penalty for teams lying on us in the ruck, but F me, I think it’s an us problem. We’re just so weak in contact and never fight to play the ball, it’s like the ref...

I’m aware he’s just come back from his eye injury to a new feeder, just curious about him being in the centres this week and wondering if he’s done a Bradbury this week with no Sauiluma and Troy Leo. Because last week I was wondering where he fits in as he was originally named as 18th man...

Did anyone watch and have insight on the Burleigh game? Interested that Ethan O’Neill looks to have played the 80 in the centres? Know he was touted pre season as a second row bolter. Wonder if he’s a look in for a centre/second row utility that we seem to be sorely missing. Trial form and...
