This concept of IQ and footy smarts has become popular in recent times and I'm starting to wonder if we recruit from the other end. i.e. like picking a monkey, because you know you can train him....in Parra's case it seems that in terms of defense, t
Ask no questions, and you’ll be told no lies. So says Pip’s sister, in Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations (1861), when Pip (see Chapter 2) had queried the sounds of guns in the distance. But Pip already suspected the truth. He knew convicts were on

There's no doubt that we will be missing a few players next year. Do the recruits step up or do we take a step back in 2023? I believe the recruitment of Hodgson and Barrett will be a huge boost for the club. Hodgson is our man, if he stays injury fr
How would you rate our 2022 NRL season?, was it a pass for this year or a failure?. We certainly did a lot better than most people predicted. After the Souths game where we lost 26-0 pretty much everyone wrote us off. I did my own review of the yea
