"I think people are forgetting or are unaware that this year Brown's first year of playing against grown men. He only played one game of nsw cup last year in which he got injured in. Was his first NRL pre-season too. Give him sometime he is only 22."

"Our win percentage over the time Gough has been a ref is 52%. But during that time when Gough was our ref it drops down to 37%. Yes, that is a huge drop. We are absolutely stuffed."

"Unsure what his playing weight was last year but it's clear he has had some serious body recomp in the off season. Just looks more solid. Similar to TDS, he looks to have put on so much more mass especially in the quads. Let's hope Pryke can follow…"

"Penisini is sitting 6th on that list, Daz.
Absolutely, JAC was / is massive, in attack & defense - his strength isn't hit ups / metres, but he's irreplaceable, imo. Very smart player.

"Was anyone a bit surprised by Mataele's defense vs Dogs? He definitely crunched a few Dogs. Checked his stats and at 188cm + 108kg, he is the same size as Teacum Brown and a bigger unit than Doorey or Moretti. I think only Tuivati is bigger (191cm,…"
