"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."

"I was surpised because he hadnt been hitting like that in NSW Cup."

"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."

"How on earth is Gough in ref when he got dropped in a game featuring Eels"

"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…"

"We were never a chance against Manly at 4 Pines.
Gough in charge just seals the deal."

"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.

"Teancum Brown seems to have dropped down the pecking order. "

"Gucci, what weight was Mataele playing at when he debuted against Knights? Listed as 188cm and 108kg and just don't recall him being anywhere near that. He looked like a unit and his contact in defense was excellent, maybe showing the benefit of…"

"Well done HH. Irony and subtlety in one. "

"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,…"

"Agreed, EA. Pryke & Mataele in the middle had good first contact and stopped any progress through the middle. Made the game one of attrition, in which Moses' kicking game and some good work from Penisini, Kelly and Nanva in backfield meters let the…"

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

"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?"

"Maybe he will repent, got his ass kicked for his carry on and now get his chance to do right or even worse haha
 "

"That is an area that is strong in his coaching. He is invested in those who are best at the time. If a player signs for decent money but someone below him is better, he will play the player below. 
That is why i believe he will play Volkman over…"
