    Shame Nanva not in the side

  • Darren Munro April 21, 2026 at 4:07pm

    Happy with that. Hope the boys bring the same attitude and intensity. Shame for araz. 

  • Muttman April 21, 2026 at 4:16pm

    I expect to see some changes prior to kick off. Hopefully Walker from the bench with JDB starting in the middle.
    I was really impressed with Pryke. He was hitting Bulldogs players for fun, with super high workrate. Mataele rocked a few of them as well.
    Run hard, tackle hard boys. It's a simple game sometimes.

      Saxon Pryke retained, thankfully, Arraz omitted for Kelly,that disappoints.

      Still, more optimistic this week

    Good work to retain the back row of Williams & Guymer and leave out Kelma.   Ryles must have read my blog before naming the team

    Debelin will start.

    Araz unlucky, but we know now he'll be pushing for a spot every week.  

    Well done Saxon Pryke to retain his position.  Liking him

      Yes he has, he actually asked me if I knew who chief was, wants you to join Brown and Moa.

    Peter Gough is the referee for Sundays game.

    I wonder if Nanva and Kelly is a coaching decision or because of contract situation. Kelly's carrys were very important last week as well as that try assist but his defensive reads were poor. He has never really played on the wing either. Just hope he works on it during training. Needs to trust Will more

    • EA > EA April 21, 2026 at 4:33pm

      Happy Guymer is starting over Tuilagi. As Muttman said, surely JDB starts over Walker
