    Internationals 2025

    Ricky Stuart didn't not rate George Williams. They fell out, as a number of people do with Ricky apparently largely due to his wife hating Canberra, as a lot of people do. But yeah, I agree he's a really strange signing. Would've been good for the first 2 years before Katoa was ready for first...

    As of this moment, Canberra don't have a halfback.

    That makes sense. Otherwise I would have thought he was a certainty for captain.

    Gilbert was captain. Personally I think Herbie should be. He mustn't be much of a talker otherwise he'd already be captain.

    Plath started this year in the second, he and the team struggled badly. As soon as he moved back to lock, he and the team improved dramatically.

    Okay. You definitely know about Kurt Donoghue better than I. More importantly, next year. What a situation to be in. FIVE high quality locks. Not in any particular order: Donoghue Knowles Plath Gilbert Stone For attack, Donoghue is the best. For defence, Gilbert. As a combination of the two...

    Who votes now? That many? I don't think it was even close to that. He played the first 2 or 3, came on at hooker and we were saying on this forum what a crap hooker he was. Then he had a long stint in QLD Cup and I think played 2 or 3 more last year, also coming on at hooker. Maybe have been a...

    2025 Squad

    I thought it was based on the number of NRL games one has played before the season in question, not when one debuted.

    No one is going to have more than 2 or 3 pre-season games because there are only 2 or 3 pre-season games. To be precise, there are 3. 1 which is basically a warm up for the B team against Broncos or Gold Coast B team and 2 pre-season challenge games.

    Bostock won't be back for round 1?

    2025 Squad

    I know he missed several games due to his hamstring issue but Crighton and Staggs also missed a few as far as I know and Herbie's form was so good when he was fit, I thought surely he deserved one of the Dally M team of the year centre spots. Bostock would have also been right up there for a...

    I thought it was a done deal. George Williams was a gun HALFBACK how many years ago now but no way he is displacing Katoa.

    Finals 2025

    Who you supporting today? I'm not really fussed either way. I'd prefer the Broncos win but don't want us to become a "junior partner". I think we are strong enough now that we won't be such a partner but still a successful Broncos will take away from our supporter base.

    Seems Williams is coming. I'm surprised. Looks like we will have two halfbacks. What do they say about too many cooks in the kitchen? I guess it means Averillo won't be extended. Have too many excellent outside backs. 5/8 had to be his position. Unless Herbie and Cobbo go to Perth.
