    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...

    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.

    2026 Squad

    To be aggressive like Ray Stone is good. But there were a couple of times last season where I just had to shake my head in regard to Kaufusi. The game against the Warriors which we ended up winning with a last minute try was the point where I went off Kaufusi. In a vital game, with us a couple...

    2026 Squad

    Forgot about him. If at any stage the pack is at full strength, wouldn't surprise me if Kaufusi is (C) of Redcliffe. He let us down with his ridiculous ill discipline a few times last season.

    Doesn't it mean a smaller, more mobile 4th prop, like Tom Gilbert, would compliment the other 3 well?

    Yes but why? Why can't they get it together? In previous iterations Broncos held too much power in SE QLD and sought to destroy competitors but GC have had ample time to get it together. But it's fine. Don't really care any more. Though I still hope they beat everyone but us. Which is of course...

    I see both of you with Tigers and Dragons and raise you with Gold Coast Titans!

    Thanks @2285. How didn't I notice that (discussion vs disscussion) for so long?! I think you chose a good team. We have a serious team, coach and head office. Though I always liked Benji as a player. I hope things turn out well for him. Just not so well it negatively effects us.

    So the club is basically owned by Wests? Is that what it's about? Wests trying to exert the level of control they pay for?

    Is that confirmed? I know it was against the Dragons midway through the season but the recovery time for an ACL is generally 9 months. He should be looking at something like full contact training after Xmas/New Year and back for round 1.

    Remember how good Plath was in 2024. Though this season he started in the backrow where the struggled and then was injured shortly after Woolf gave up on that.

    I like him as a player a lot but we have so many good locks. I was surprised Plath was such a good replacement for Gilbert and then Donoghue was such a good replacement for Gilbert and Plath. Now we have Knowles as well! A crazy number of locks IMO but am interested to see what Woolf does with...

    I'm a Ray Stone fan but I don't see how he plays NRL next year with us barring an injury crisis.

    They say this was more about international geopolitics more than anything. Like the whole world bar US-Canada, US-UK, US-Mexico, Argentina-Brazil, and EU countries trade with each other, China is PNGs largest trading partner and growing. They say this (NRL expansion) is due to the desire to...

    Hmmmm it's convenient I guess. If one works in the city it's a 10 min bicycle ride. As for the $10.00 for a regular coffee, coffee shops, even if I could afford that, I would hate it. Though there is an excellent bottle shop nearby which sells Japanese and German beer and more. Japanese beer is...
