Holbrook finally ends the Brimson experiment and puts him back to fullback where he should be.

I get they wanted to get Jayden into the side, but it wasn't working. Brimson can play the same way at the back and he'll have more room and time to work with.

Well they've only played together twice.

I can see Holbrook returning to it later in the season. I believe he's identified the Panthers as a danger game and instead of throwing young Jayden into the deep end it'd be better to bring him through the QCup. He played on the weekend but fair to say he was pretty rusty on return.

I continue to dislike the Will Smith signing.

So Jamayne goes from being the second fullback at the Broncs to now the third fullback at the Titans, good move.

Also, I'm excited to see Tass in the centres for Souths. I was really impressed with him in Q Cup last year, I reckon he's got a future.

Isaako following in the footsteps of Josh Hoffman and getting dropped from fullback for the Titans.

Next stop Parramatta followed by retirement.

I'm curious to see how he goes as well. Based on what I saw last year I wasn't upset about letting him go and only saw him as a fringe option at that stage. However with Paulo not adjusting to the centres and the Rabbitohs stocks being so low they had to turn to Taane Milne in 2022 he's found himself at the right place at the right time.

Friday should be a fair test for him.

Gus Gould ran Bulldogs training today and yelled at everyone - lol.

Hooper reporting that the reason Adam Gee was dumped for this round is because he offered an opinion of the bunker official Ashley Klein (AKA Worst Referee EVER).

apparently he said words to the effect that he didn’t think there was that much in the Tupou tackle.

even if he said those words, he was looking at it in real time. he didn't have the technology to rewatch teh incident ... Klein did.

Klein must have incriminating photos of someone in the NRL administration ... because that guys is Teflon coated

POSITION VACANT: Someone to replace Morkel as Digital Artist. Must be able to make signature of attractive football players once every 3-5 years. Will be paid in likes from time to time.

Haha that's great!
Broncs played very well, well deserved win

I was interested to hear the Sharks are the first top 4 team we've beaten this year. Panthers won't be able to do it for another two rounds when they play the Eels. Ah well, it's only fair that a struggling team should have an easy draw for the start of the season.

Yep quite easy, only got the grand finalists in round 1, not the premiers.

I think they were saying that before tonight we hadn't beaten a top 4 team in a couple of years
