Direct and forceful contact to the head. How many times is this for Sivo? This isn't the NRL targeting the Eels, this is Sivo once again not learning from his mistakes.
I am a big believer in holding coaches accountable, even when the calls of "Coaches don't drop the ball" come out, i hate those lines.
But people blaming BA here is unjustified, this is on Sivo going rogue and not realising that a good hit is only as good as the timing involved. Now could say BA should drop him, and i reply for who? Sign another Winger is all well and good but we tried to buy one and didn't as there was nothing there, so if there was not one worth our while, why force a change just to get rid of Sivo.
His defence is average at best but you let him talk elsewhere, 3-4 teams are on the phone to him in the next hour.
Bloody idiot....should have taken someone's head off in the last game last year!!! And it's not guaranteed Bailey plays either, he came off injured yesterday. So here we are again, all off season and the club still couldn't purchase a back. Good Job BA.

Exactly, Bailey no guarantee so we are stuck with starting a reserve grader in Harper in the centres and and have no back up on the wing. It's not like BA didn't see this 18-24 months ago!!!!
"Defensively. 4/11 seasons were we higher than 8th. 7/11 we were mid-range 8th to 16th. We were Jeckly-Hyde. Moses essentially admitted it on a podcast: Even the best year (2022) was up & down. The group was surprised & just content to make the GF."
"Yep, Chiefy, true. I reckon 2025-26 is around a $5-6m cap hit because of the rebuild-clean up.
PS: I was going to add details of that but my blogs are already torturously long enough."
"And don't forget, the club still had a few million dollars worth of players on our books who had either not wanted to play, released, or in the process of retiring - Matterson, Ofehengaue, Cartwright, Lane, Hands.
"
"You outline good points on Ponga Bluey, I am a bit different because I am a natural contrarian and whilst seeing those faults, I am not so sure that he is not a victim rather than a cause i.e. he has been handled badly and his father has tended to…"

Yes, CE your not exactly renowned with what's happening at Parra, let alone anywhere else in the competition.
Sometimes as I don't live locally
Yep have to agree

Exactly
Cannot understand why they didn't look for some backs but continually focus on forwards. Doesn't make sense
We tried, fox, tupou
