Maybe not the most gifted ball player in our squad lol. Andrew Johns has said a couple times before that he really likes Taka. I do agree his defensive game will improve being at 5-eight. However, Brooks is deceptively very fast, but judging by his form he shouldnt be much of a threat.

BA has obviously seen some issues in Field's game where he thinks Taka can plug. This will be a trial for the finals, otherwise Taka would be just on the bench. RCG looked a little cooked last week and would be fresher for the rest. This is not BA playing games, it's what he needs to do.
Totally understand resting RCG. Why would we take the early guilty plea of paulo? Should of fort it. If we lost, Paulo gets a rest as well. Our props need to be fresh for the finals
Field is dropped he's done ok defense has been surprisingly good but as a half he hasn't locked down the spot he has no kicking game and I think we play to flat for his type of running game. Field may come back in but it's worth seeing if takka can open up the left edge.
RCG has played a lot of minutes this year and fourtunatly Alvaro has had some good footy recently
"His defense is definitely a concern, there have been times where he appeared scared to put his body in front of the ball runner. The work Ryles would have to do with him in defence it would probably be better to identify a fast or big athletic…"
"Yes we have trouble attracting talent but paying overs just to get a deal done is stupid. It is better to target younger unknown players and develop them. If you sign someone on overs it shows they are just after money so there are 2 likely…"
"Great post, Bluey.
Fan perception and reality are two different things. Patience is another matter altogether.
By "we too must buy" using the Panthers example, I think you mean Hollywood "big names," right? To be more like the Broncos, Roosters,…"
"If he is top 30, then it is a deal already in place when he signed last year. This would not be a reaction to Lomax leaving.
Similar to like Latu and Funa-Iuta, who are on development for 2026 and top 30 2027."

Yep, my thoughts too

Possibly a bit late to try but would love to see haze dunster get a chance in first grade. Any of our outside backs need a rest
stop whinging. We'll beat the Tigers like we always do. Then ........ who knows
with Will Smith on the bench I would expect he will get some at 5/8 as well. Can't see Taka lasting 80 minutes.
Cant see him lasting 10 mins.
FFS watch his involvement. For a man his size.
Very pleased with this. Field is getting smothered and Alvaro is playing well. Like it.
