    Recruitment and retention

    Salary cap aside, it makes sense. They weren't going to pay that much for Galvin only to play him out of position. Burton is a good centre but seems to me, apart from kicking, overrated as a 5/8. But I can't see anything about it either. Is it confirmed or just a rumour?

    2026 pre-season

    Halves are a worry if either of our first 2 choices are injured or otherwise unavailable but that's the case for most teams.

    2026 pre-season

    Zero Tackle. Club website is often VERY tardy when it comes to updating the info.

    2026 pre-season

    Only 3 weeks away from the first pre-season game. Going to be a huge season! Looks like 29 places have been filled so I guess no new signings until the year has started.

    Club DNA

    Isn't the DNA in a constant state of flux? Though, whatever it is clubs like the Storm and Penrith have had for a while now, we want. Even though Melbourne have become perennial GF losers.

    Did Wayne Bennett sell out the Dolphins from the start?

    I think the first few years are going to be really hard for them.

    Another one of those signings I can't make sense of right now. Williams is a veteran halfback as far as I've seen him play. But happy to wait and see what plan Woolf has,

    2026 Squad

    This is something I've been wondering about. It would depend on the rest of the pack. If Woolf needs points scored, he'd have to go with Kurt D. If he wants good defence, Gilbert. Plath is a mix of the two. I have no idea about Knowles. Personally I'd probably go with Kurt. Nothing wrong with...

    2026 Squad

    We are a lock forward producing machine. Who is the Bulldogs lock and who can we swap one or two for? Maybe we give Bulldogs a lock and they give us Burton? TBH, apart from his kicking, Burton looks more like a centre to me.

    Recruitment and retention

    Every new team from now is going to have a good number of reserve graders like SOS in the team first year or two or even 3. Thanks to SOS who in my opinion punched above his weight while he was with us. As a matter of fact, in our first ever game against the Roosters, he was one of the best on...

    Recruitment and retention

    Who are you talking about? Still SOS? Is there a reason people aren't allowed to be critical of his game? Personally I'm not. He was never supposed to be a star halfback. Only a fill in for a couple of years.

    Recruitment and retention

    In the first year, SOS was pretty good for us. I mean, considering Wayne couldn't sign a halfback and it was obviously before Katoa was ready for first grade each week. SOS had already had a long career as a back up halfback. In the second year Wayne was still playing SOS while easing Katoa in...

    Recruitment and retention

    Once upon he was a good coach. The Sharks premiership was PEDs and salary cap tainted. It's something that annoys me. The NRL admits they were over the cap but were "compliant on GF day". So they cheated to make the GF? It's even worse than cheating on GF day. But Flanagan was still a good...

    Recruitment and retention

    It's kind of funny. It seems everyone in the media is calling out the nepotism along with every St. George Illawarra supporter but coach Flanagan just doesn't care. In both their defence, every opposition coach is telling Flanagan his boy is a superstar and coach Flanagan laps it up:ROFLMAO...

    2026 pre-season

    If there is another injury crisis this year, need to start looking at how training and conditioning is done. Surely 3 years in a row would point to something other than just bad luck.

    2026 pre-season

    Happy New Year! I think this year is going to be huge for us. Top 4 and right in contention for the premiership.

    2026 Squad

    I guess technically speaking, Tigers and Dragons are new teams. But as far as I know, Dragons have long been an old boys club and the old boys might well have been very good players but aren't good administrators, coaches, talent scouts and etc. And their current coach has a very widely...

    2026 Squad

    100%. My pet hate players getting penalised or worse for high shots when the ball runner crouches, slips or falls a moment before impact. But at times, I think Kaufusi pushes it too far and the example I cited was just absurd. No excuse for it at all. The penalty, sinbining and suspension wasn't...

    I should say, was so stupid as to seem to be on purpose. I'm not accusing him of trying to throw a game.
