      Thanks EA. You're a wealth of knowledge and balanced opinions. Keep up the great work

    Koina will get promoted for sure. I expect him to play this week in one of the spots that is not named in the JF teamlist. Kotorac and Nunn a chance too for this week.

      Great news if it works for Koina. Any outside backs you think you can cash your ticket on? Sounds like we almost have too many forward prospects. I suppose the cream will rise if there's lots of competition

        Lorima Seuseu is a gun but he is only 16 years old. Bloomfield, Sorovi and Rokusuka are talented outside backs that are 18/19 years old. Hopefully they play some JF this year

      EA, we signed this kiwi prop back in off season and he was on the SG ball list, what happened to him? Faletau I think?

        He is at the dragons. Based on the trials he wasn't anything special

        I see, cheers.

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

    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?
