    I don't think criticism = blind hate. Even @mr_c had a lot of people offside with his criticism of Katoa but I never considered it "blind hate". He just rated SOS.

    I like him too. He showed in the first half of the season he belongs in the NRL. But there times in the second half of the season where I started having doubts. He really seemed to go missing. His game against the Broncos was insipid and I think he followed it up against the Roosters. Or might...

    He was good in the first half of the year. Check his stats for the second half. Was really bad. Some games only running for 20-30m in a few games.That is just laughable for a backrower not injured. Or in the last round against Canberra, played 80 min, made 19 tackles and missed 5. Is it...

    Basically, Wayne was tasked with the job not of bringing about success but creating the conditions where we could have sustained success. Not sure how much Woolf had to do with it but whoever it was set us up pretty well. Against a very hostile Broncos. Remember they agree to release Karl Oloapu...

    new sponsor

    Nothing will beat the sponsor the NRL rejected as far as coolness goes but this is really a good looking jersey. Though it will be a problem when we play St. George, won't it?

    Recruitment and retention

    I'm confused by it as well but I guess Woolf knows his game and form much better than we do.

    Recruitment and retention

    He might be a good 5/8 but in the GF when he came on to play centre, I thought he was very ordinary. What was the name of that dude who was cut loose by the Dogs due to a neck injury? Carl or Karl Olo*******. Has he packed it in and decided to call it a day, just not good enough or something else?

    Recruitment and retention

    I know that's the plan but is he any good as a 6? He's been a halfback his entire career.

    Recruitment and retention

    I can't understand the recruitment of Williams either. He might have been a gun back in the day but now Katoa is far better.

    I remember Isaac Luke. Probably played on 2 seasons too long but was a gun in his prime. In a golden age for #9s.

    It won't be for another at least. It's not uncommon for a player to be on a development deal for 2 years. Though I don't think more than that.

    2026 Squad

    As the link you provided shows, the club upgraded him to a train and trial deal so they obviously rate him.

    There was one try in this year's series where Creighton comprehensively beat Hammer for a NSW try, I think not to Creighton himself who passed to the winger after beating Hammer. But Creighton is the second best centre in the competition so to only miss him once in a 3 game series is impressive.
