The year he played left edge back row he made plenty of line breaks hitting holes off the halves. He scored a few barmstorming tries last season too, the one against the Roosters stands out. You are right he makes good contact in defence, but he’s a ball runner that’s his strength.

Well that’s more of an indication of your short comings rather than Sione’s

A week is a long time in the NRL, this time last week somebody was talking about us going 6-0 to start the year, whilst the Dragons were a mess. I go into most weeks confident if we play a good game we can take the points.

Depending on who you talk to or listen to you will get varying opinions on ‘who’s idea it was’ or ‘who wanted’ Ponga to play 5/8. Brown has said himself Kayln came to him with the idea so I’m fairly confident that’s how it all started. Not knowing KP anymore than the average fan it’s impossible...

Regarding who should start in the right edge and who should be on the bench there really is a case for each of Sione, Guerra & Barnett whilst there’s also an arguement against all three. Imo the biggest issue for all three is that they can’t get 80 quality minutes out of any of them, they’re...

Yes the key point being needing to stick KP to one spot and leaving him there, I don’t think it’s doing Watson or Mann any favours being moved around either. Keep KP at fullback give Lino a chance at 5/8, if it doesn’t work look to the market for another 5/8

That’s good enough for me

Mate I’m the first person to say KP to fullback and hopefully after last night that’s where he goes. I was under the impression the switch wasn’t going to happen due to the article last week where KP said ‘everyone needs to get used to the fact I’m playing 5/8). If we move him back to No.1...

Geez what is with players these days, another guy gets left out of the 17 and he wants a release !!!! Surprised we’re still going down the TPJ route, but as Toohey said maybe he gave the impression he would seriously consider coming here?

Wasn’t aware he was on that much

Looks like the weather is holding off which is good for us I’ve been confident all week too but no one is backing us which concerns me

Doesn’t have to be TPJ, but there might be another player Brown identifies. Looks like we might need a fullback

Looks like it will be a very wet game Cons- Canberra handled the wet very well against the Titans Pros- Sezer is out so they’ll miss his kicking game

I still don’t understand why it’s such a ‘Clanger’ to think the club might try to offload Guerra for his last season? If a club hasn’t much room to move in their cap but need to either upgrade guys or want to make a play for another player they will always look to offload someone. The main...

Two things you said Slots - If they’re using Sione as a ‘tackle bot’ They’re using the wrong guy, Guerra would be much better Also if you’re saying Sione is only being picked ahead of Guerra & Barnett because he can’t play middle, that’s wrong. Not your opinion which is perfectly fair but if...

If Sione doesn’t become more of a threat with the ball he will be dropped, we’re not short on numbers in the middle like we were last year.

Yeah maybe it was 550 rather than 650 I thought it was 650 but could be wrong Either way I still think with one year to run on his deal and if he continues to be a bench player who plays between 30-40 minutes the club would listen to offers

They were the numbers being thrown around when we signed him

Funnily enough I've been defending Guerra to my mate who reckons he's a has-been that misses plenty of tackles. Statistically yes Guerra missed heaps of tackles last year, but again the stats don't always tell the full story, remembering Guerra was playing close to 80 every week in a side that...

Won't be an easy game, funny how things change quickly in the NRL, some people here were talking about being 6-0 lol
