    2026 Squad

    Why? Hammer is also a good defender. Fuller is also but sometimes when the opposing player is running to the side and on the try line, the smaller defender won't be able to stop the momentum for a try. He's also suspect under bombs. Not because he can't catch the ball but because taller...

    2026 Squad

    Outside backs typically only make around 10~15 tackles a game. How many they make is utterly irrelevant. It's how many they miss which matters. None of Bostock, Fuller or Hammer miss many.

    2026 Squad

    Is the Dragons former 5/8 Junior Amone any good? They say he was very good in age restricted competition. Then he partnered Ben Hunt in the halves at the Dragons and struggled a bit. As every 5/8 does when paired with Ben Hunt at halfback. Then he was deregistered for being convicted for chasing...

    I'm a fan of JMK but once again, there are concerns about his durability for someone playing in the middle.

    2026 Squad

    Off season buys are pretty much irrelevant. Just need to the squad to remain relatively healthy. On GF day for example, even though Melbourne lost the centre early and Broncos lost Reynolds late, at the start of the game Melbourne were only missing NAS from their best 17 and Broncos only Billy...

    DOLPHINS Last premiership: Never (Entered competition 2023, three years) Last grand final appearance: Never Premiership window (analysis) Carayannis: 1-3 years I have some optimism surrounding the Dolphins in the next couple of seasons. We saw great resolve from them when essentially a starting...

    2026 Squad

    Looks pretty accurate but as you say, Bostock and Plath will be back. Unless they have had some kind of setback in their recovery. I agree Flegler will be eased back in via QLD Cup. I think Kaufusi will start and Frank Molo on the bench.

    2026 Squad

    Winners are likely to come from the top 4. Almost certainly. But it's because the best teams typically make the top 4 not because lower teams can't win 4 games in a row. I thought Roosters and Penrith were a chance this year. I don't know what happened to the Roosters in the first week but we...

    I think one club from 5~8 will win one day but yeah, we have to aim for a top 4 finish.

    That will change a lot by round 6. I think Penrith and Melbourne are slipping. Why are the Roosters ranked so highly?

    2025 Squad

    I'm not sure Gilbert is the best defender out of them. He's best if someone runs at him but he's not better than any of them being in position to make a tackle. His lateral movement seems slower as was on display when he did his pec this year.

    Finals 2025

    Was a good game last night. Cronulla were closer than I expected. Melbourne aren't as much favourites as I thought earlier. Though that is the first time all their big guns have been on the field together for a while. I think they are going to be better still next week. I think Penrith will win...

    They would have to pay part of his contract for the duration of his contract. But anyway, I think Burton would be a perfect foil for Katoa.

    They also need a fullback and a hooker. Maybe they have some in the lower grades they are confident about.

    Perth produces a few NRL players. Not many but a few. It's not like Victoria.
