"Fair call on Fletcher - I just worry that Ryles isn't going to have the political capital to last through 2 more years of rebuild before we get the two most influential positions in the team (the halves).
I hope we hold the line with Ryles and can…"

"Good questions, Coryn.
You feel its first contact first & foremost?
The thing for me is at the end of 2025, we were great defensively as the Eels seemed to be 100% cohesive.
So what has changed?
- We haven't handled the change to ruck speed as well…"

"The question is why are some teams a hell of alot better defending the ruck than what we are.
Part of it undoubtedly is talent but there's technique coaching and other mentionables.Some teams have been good at defending the ruck for years and yet…"

"I'm still a fan of the Pezet signing but I would prefer he was there just as a back up 7 for Mitch not as a 6. With Joash now getting some time at 1 its a great opportunity to offer Apa or Lorenzo a few games at 6 to see how it goes. Theres way more…"

Pass to Sivo and hope for the best.
What, next to the sideline when he shows up?
He needs to step up Sivo and get more involved. He's made 6 tackles in 3 games with 2 missed. Less runs than anyone other than Mahoney, who we all want to run more.
If it wasn't for some of his 1/2 the field runs, he'd also have made the least amount of meters.
wrap around play on our right hand side is where most of the points come from
Slide. Souths rarely hit the lead runner and almost always play out the back to a very deep backline. No need to jam in. Souths want you to jam in, they're banking on it. Move up and slide, they'll run out of room.
Bingo, Mutt.
I think Jake is going to have a tough night also, Latrell is going to be coming at him at full speed all night. Ice will need to be a body guard.
agree
NOS, this is a test of fire for JA, Latrell is so good, so multitalented. JA could be burnt or this game could make him.
I am going to send JA good juju and visualise JA and the boys choking the bunnies.
For sure MB, watching Latrell verse the Warriors its almost ridiculous how good he is. He's come back from that injury / US treatment a whole different athlete which is scary.
Jake did a good job last week & made some great 1 on 1 tackles of Garrick, but as you said, this is a test of fire for him & probably Penisini also.
thought he got caught out with the sliding attack. he always seemed to run into the opposition plkayer inorder to cover across
