Maybe we can sidetrack him with an irrelevant issue in the lead up.

Hahaha. Would Anna Nicole be a better attacking or defensive coach?

I thought the same but he actually debuted wearing the #15.
Wore 15, 14, 21, 17 and 19 but probably wore the 16 more than any other jersey and that was the year he debuted.

PLEASE man @Santa, do your magic and get us the W mate. I can’t handle this depression anymore. No pills can make me better.
Get a W, go into the bye, rest up so that everyone(players, coaching team & recruitment) have some proper time to sit the fcuk up to retrospect to plan astutely as to how & what each of them MUST do from R17 and beyond.

Goose? Are you besties with JetSki?
Nicknames are reserved for good *****.
Jetski is a shit ****.
Both are a type of a ****, just very different according to context.
To be clear, I’m not using Jetski as a nickname, I can’t be bothered to learn how to spell his name. He might be the nicest bloke in the world, don’t know him. What I do know is, the bloke doesn’t belong on an NRL footy field with first graders.

I also can’t figure out who is a bigger flop from the 2 blokes we fired into the sun?! JetSki or my mate Fletcher Baker?!
I think the latter, but if it is, it’s not by much.

Jetski puts in effort and doesnt make a lot of mistakes, but I dont think he's physically up to top tier NRL.

I think he'll do better in the middle than on the edge though. Just make his tackles and run 100m. Willison will do the rest.

I think those run meters need to come way back to like 40-60m...
He's started at prop 3 times this year and he's gone 65m, 34m & 40m.

200 metres less in the starting pack. Literally the first thing I said.

Just because it was pretty fast to do, I have possession-based data on hand. I have gotten game by game data from the current year for each player in the NRL. Just to see how bad our forward pack is and if my calculations about run metres were correct.
I did it for the starting 13 for both teams. Metres gained is run metres and kick metres, and the tackle efficiency too.
Essentially:
Rabbitohs: Metres gained: 1939m and TE: 89.5%
Broncos: Metres gained: 1918m and TE: 93%
If you take the kicking game out of it:
Rabbitohs run metres are: 1366m
Broncos run metres are: 1164m
Which seems about right...202metres.
As long as the players get a minimum of these runs it should help. I couldn't do the interchange appropriately as souths have 2 debutants and it'd skew the data. But it is pretty much even. No massive discrepancies.
Note: these are not the numbers of the game itself, it doesn't take into account penalties, infringements, or the oppositions ability to stop the attack PCM, etc. Just a ballpark "difference" measurement of how good player a is compared to player b.
But yeah, Reyno / Duffy are going to need to be good with the boot.

Although a rip-off of our black out jersey, its a nice gesture
It's a nice gesture for sure, but to me it just looks like a sun bleached 20 year old jersey.

I disagree. If you look at 2023 and 2025 seasons both Kev and madge had full preseasons. Both teams were fit and both teams made a GF. I would say kevs team played better attacking football and madges team were more resilient and better mentally.
Now madge is getting the same treatment kev got in 2024. Short preseason, overseas exhibition, injuries and the team looks pretty shit.
I think it just shows it doesnt matter who the coach is, football games are won in the preseason.
We should thank Kev for making bold moves, offloading our shit players and giving us 12 months of the best football we had played in a decade. We should thank madge for being the missing piece of the puzzle and bringing us a premiership.
Madge is obviously the better coach but kevs a ****ing legend and it would be shit to not credit him for getting us in a position to win one thats for sure.

Kevvie just gets caught in the crossfire at times. It’s because one dickhead Gorden CONEHEAD. The way he keeps glazing his best mate on 360 is vomit inducing.
One of my all time favourite players, but an absolute knob since he fell out with Wayne and the club that made him who he is.
