It was the calling us muppets in their first post haha.

I always sense a red flag if someone doesn't say hi in the introduction thread too.

But I haven't pulled the trigger on WestTigersFan yet ... waiting to see if they can form a coherent sentence! 😂

Not all heroes wear capes, thank you for your service. 😃

For me it was the "too bad you were vsing the best team in the comp"

Only come out of the woodwork when they are winning

Cant say I scrolled back that far.

It’s funny how cocky people get after a bit of a decent run. Dogs are going good but they aren’t winning this years premiership and probably not next years either. Anyone would think though that they’ve been putting 50+ on every side the way they carry on. 😆

There two clear standouts now Penrith have dropped off and that’s Melbourne and Broncos. Broncos on paper have the best side in the comp. When Ezra come back, I guess Hunt goes into 9 although they have good hooking options too.

I’ll give you reasonably short odds of that being the grand final.

Both like a fast, open game, so it would be a very entertaining final I reckon.

Manulelua is 20 y.o.

If he improves out of sight in a short period of time it's likely because he is capable of that sort of trajectory. He looked really good last week. I'd be happy to have him in FG to see how he goes. Arguably a better prospect than McEwen, although a year older

Not saying you’re incorrect more let’s see how he goes in coming weeks. One impressive game and a fairly ok one in Flegg week before is all
We have to go on for now. I think he’s signed for top 30 till 2027 yeah??
Agree he’s exciting. For all of us I hope he exceeds our wildest dreams.

They’re definitely threats. Even if you don’t rate their wins so far, they have the best roster in the comp and there’s the added pressure of them needing to win a comp while Reynolds is around.

Suppose we will have to agree to disagree as I definitely don’t rate it

In theory but the facts are he is doing very well as a second rower, and if he is going to be a starting 13 he is going to need to develop good ball playing.

Right now since he can play 13 as well as second rower he should be on the bench for mine.

He has played 80min every game in nsw cup at lock! He can ball play fine AOB loves him I reckon he will take Elliot’s spot! Signing Kpp at good value is important I reckon! Everyone saying he can go are mental he literally is one of our best defenders and is improving all the time in attack he and Lucas are impressive! We could potentially have a very young pack and players like Lucas and Kpp staying around to build the pack up is crucial

I reckon they have the best core group of players in Haas - Carrigan - Walsh - Mam - Staggs - Cobbo and the two old farts.

A few other good players but they have some massive weaknesses, especially: they have the worst back rowers in the NRL, and I mean the worst by a mile. Riki is the only one who deserves a jersey in any 17 in the NRL and even then I don’t rate him as an 80 minute player.

Also some bang average middles backing up Haas/Carrigan besides Willison, and Deine Mariner not panning out like they expected is why Shibasaki keeps getting picked.

Their elite players may be good enough to override their weaknesses, but I don’t think it’d be that shocking if it’s too many weaknesses to overcome.

Conversely the Storm don’t have glaring weaknesses. They’ll want a whole lot more out of NAS and Stefano than they’ve gotten so far, but everyone else regularly getting big game time is solid to great.

Goz is straight awful, replacing an even worse player in Piakura.
