  Richie P on the wing? Has he played on the wing before? Is this a trial to see if he can potentially develop into a winger moving forward?
  - EA > Gucci April 21, 2026 at 6:02pm
    
    Yea he played on the wing a couple times in JF when he was 18 years old. Thats when he got promoted from SG ball when we won the comp in 2023.

    Actually is smart as we have nothing at Wing if anyone goes down so why not get Richie ready is asked to come in?
    - Gucci > LB April 21, 2026 at 7:51pm
      
      Agreed. If he runs like Will but just more athletic he would be a perfect winger. Hopefully gets a good run without injury.

  Who would get priority over Nanva and Richi Penisini?

    Richie is top 30 contract whilst Nanva is train and trial.

Peter Gough is the ref? Surely that's a piss take by the NRL? In Round 5 Eels vs Tigers Gough forgot the rule book and also orchestrated the game via one knee jerk whistle and six again after another. He was dropped for Round 6. Now his first game back is the Eels again?

NRL Piss Take

  Maybe he will repent, got his ass kicked for his carry on and now get his chance to do right or even worse haha
  - Prof. Daz > Stevo April 21, 2026 at 8:22pm
    
    How will Gough go with Moses, given the NRL sent a letter to Moses warning him for having expressed some credulity about Gough's refereeing?

      Get the trainer to put laxatives in Moses water bottle as a peace offering from afar...
