"Gotta love the Roosters and how ruthless they are. They just put a line through you and move you on.
I think he will go back to the Knights. Matty Johns was saying y'day they'd take him back in a heartbeat."

"Nah mate, it's the mandated 95% of cap. It should be way under but that's not allowed.
And we wonder why players get paid overs.
If I was a manager I'd be pushing fringe and young players to clubs down the bottom. Bigger pay day for me when they…"

  Talking about mental health CE how's the Camel races shaping?

Screw it I would debut Mataele, he is set to extend why not give him some game time, then he can be a proper depth option for 2026 with games under his belt.

I'd rather Matto on the edge than Guymer, he runs good lines, can offload and reliable in defence. Williams should be on the bench, defense is good but is not a run on prop. Dolphins by 20.

  Dolphins by 20? Tigers and sharks are better then them and we kept them both within 10, whats your reasoning there

    we've won 2 games, beat the dragqueens which was a good win, beat the tigers who was off their game with all the Galvin debarcle and like I said Williams not a run on prop and our edge forwards aren't real good especally Kautago who isn't real smart (has no footy IQ what so ever). The queens will be up in their face in defense and we haven't beaten a top team yet.

  Cut the chord with matto let it go its ok.
Joel K May 6, 2025 at 5:00pm

Papalii on the reserves in first grade but not playing NSW CUP. Could walker be injured?
- LB > Joel K May 6, 2025 at 5:31pm
  
  Or dropping Doorey and having Papali'i on bench. Walker and Moretti is all you need with Williams able to play big minutes.
EA May 6, 2025 at 5:06pm

I would play Mataele over Doorey.

Interesting that they decided to give an injury update about Martin suddenly. Is that to suggest he is in their future plans.
EA May 6, 2025 at 5:08pm

NSW Cup team is interesting. Grieg must still be suspended. But Papalii and Volkman have not been named in cup. Pryke and Brown have not been named in either team as well.
