Don't see why you wouldn't pick Mark, he's clearly the best player out of that lot. Who cares what he's doing next year, it's about winning this year isn't it? Pick the best guy.

I'd be shocked if it wasn't the next team to come in after PNG.

I wonder how the games would look if they went forward with the rule that the conceding team can choose to receive a kick off. The clubs were against it but it would help wrestle some momentum back in these sorts of games where one team is just getting a roll on all game. We could have been in...

Best is a weapon, we just haven't used him too much this year so far. Which is surprising given the change in play style. The players have been taking turns having a big game, one day soon he'll have a ripper. Could see another team outbidding us for him. Would hate to lose him, but ultimately...

We've won 4 games, only team we played so far in good form we lost too. Long way to go. Finals is a different beast. We make the finals as is, I think we get daddied in Week 2 or Week 3 by a team that's been there before. We make the finals with a fit, fresh and determined Ponga and Brown...

How cool is this, very 80s coded.

It's a decent place to be with Gagai at the end. We just have to try and pick the best few to invest in. If Hunt, De Courcey, Winter and Seve all show themselves capable of playing first-grade, the nature of the salary cap will draft them out to other NRL teams that will play them. Even...

Ponga and Brown are huge losses, they've been on fire, so it definitely does worry me coming up against some better sides. But one thing that it looks like Holbrook's done for the group, is just loosed up the leash and encouraged them to play what's in front of them which in turn has seen the...

Yeah Gagai is still classy, hard to believe he's 35 now. Same age as Mad Dog in his last year when he was still setting up Uate. We probably don't appreciate him enough, 35 and more than holding his own in a game where young guys overtake the old guys all the time.

That would be such a relief. The fact that he was walking around afterwards and looked fine after the game was very positive, but that replay where he went down with no one touching him couldn't be ignored. That's not how corks work. Heart dropped when he went down but looks like it's going to...

It's nice to see how young the 3 new guys are. Easy to forget because of how we talk about them, being our big new signings, but Brown is 25, that's a baby in playmaker years, he's about to start his prime. Mooney and Smith are 23 yet you'd think they are established first-graders with how we...

That's my big hope. I don't know if they'll necessarily hit the ground running tomorrow, but if they stay on the field for an extended amount time, I don't see why we can't beat a lot of teams through the year. For the first 3 quarters of the season, you would describe us as a team with a...

He is still only 19, still has time to grow into his body with a few NRL pre-seasons but he definitely looked a bit deer in headlights didn't he. After the wraps he was getting in the junior grades. Needs to keep at it, either going to see him flourish in the next year or two of consistent...

Smith will get a chance. Players getting through a season uninjured is rare. At some point one of the halves will have to miss a game or Sharpe might move around, fullback seems likely at some point! 😅 If Brown and Sharpe aren't killing it, Smith will get a chance eventually and if looks better...

Just read that the Warriors are looking to get compensated with a player or two. Hopefully that's just if they're looking to do a swap this year. Hopefully they don't hold him back next year given the circumstances, as much as they're in their contractual rights to do so. Other teams might not...

I don't know if Sharpe and Brown is the best pairing, or Smith and Brown is. But I think there's points in this team. I think we're underestimating the team based on how we finished last year. We never looked great last year, but we were in games for the most part, plodding along with a very...

PVL is a super polarizing figure because people don't like change, but the guy has been a force in trying to evolve the game. 3 new teams in the space of a few years - capitalizing on the Brisbane market, going back to Perth and taking advantage of a league heartland in PNG. The game is a lot...

Russell Packer - signed a 4-year deal in his prime as a current NZ Kiwis front-rower. Was meant to be our big signing of 2014 and then goes out and assaults a man, stomps on his head for good measure, before even arriving to the club.

I mean he literally just broke the news of Jones not being re-signed and being told he's free to leave. Have you heard that anywhere else? Also hadn't heard about Holbrook's current relationship with Marzhew, or that Sullivan bloke having concussions and not training. The guy clearly has some...
