Taukeiaho, Big and good, but old and slow

Bulldogs need more than a few good men but the truth is club's had years to get a handle on mess they created

But Punted Pele ?

Not a bad call to give your back up players a run in the top grade heading into finals.

ANALYSIS: Broncos minor premiership stalls as Storm streak hits 14 in a row - with rookie Fa'alogo stealing the show

Souths have had the quinella this year with Mitchell & Walker
Trifecta next year by adding Wighton.
Will they go for the quadie in 2024 by adding JAC

Club legend axed: Burgess given marching orders as Rabbitohs' coaching power struggle erupts

As season 2023 winds down for Souths the bigger question, rather than assistant coaches is still,
Where does Wighton play ?
Fullback=Mitchell to center?, Tass punted?
Center= Tass punted
5/8=Walker to 7
Lock=Murray to back row?
Any wonder there is player unrest at Souths

“Roosters fans must be positively salivating at the chance of leapfrogging Souths” ???
They were 2nd fav for the premierships this year, fans should be bitterly disappointed the the Roosters this year.

NRL Run Home: And then there were 10 - Roosters set to fly past bumbling Bunnies and Cowboys for final playoff spot

Ponga flying but Siafiti & Thompson dominated the Souths forwards.

Mitchell and Wighton have a court date end of October for the Canberra drunk/fight fiasco.
Given past suspensions handed out by the NRL ,Doubt they will be going USA round 1 2024

ANALYSIS: 'Silly' Latrell facing ban for elbow as Souths unravel - but demand explanation as Knights score on eighth tackle

Welcome to Sei-world Manly
Always someone else’s fault,
Constant squad and positional changes.
And still two seasons to go.
IF DCE gets injured you will get the spoon
Suck it up Sea-Eagles.

ANALYSIS: Seibold 'p--ssed off' at Bunker decision that ends Manly's season - and secures Warriors top four

Looked like knee contact to me

ANALYSIS: Roosters overcome Tedesco head knock to keep Finals dream alive - and all but end Parramatta's season

Eels were 6th on the ladder round 19, now out of the finals.
When the Broncos crashed out last year the media had Walters being dumped but teflon Arthurs escapes any scrutiny

If your forwards don’t get sat down sometime during the season they are not having a crack

NRL Rookie of the Year: The Brick, the flying mullet and Tigers' only bright spot

I would give it to Preston, 1st year in playing 2nd row,
And no Kikau to spread the load, carrying TPJ and having to put up with Gould.

Khan-Pereira has been great but having Fafita inside opens up the rails run to the try line

Preston had to do it all himself

Can not agree, article seems to presume the long kick off will be returned by a one out hit up.
There is nothing better than seeing Ponga, Walsh or Paps carve em up from the back on a kick return, The old Broncos early shift to the Pearl produced some of the games best ever tries, same with Billy Slater’s highlights reel.
Defenders need to stop hitting high regardless of the distance run by the attacker.
Easy fix to reduce the collision is to go back to the 5m rule and encourage more ball movement.

NRL should consider following NFL path on kick-off to reduce risk of concussions - and encourage unpredictability

Merge Wests with Bulldogs and Tigers with Souths.

Tigers constantly chasing own tail - Fast-tracking Benji era makes sense but chaotic club still needs to get house in order

Is home ground an advantage ?, I think so. So do 16 of the 17 NRL teams. And also many fans when the Broncs play an away game at Suncorp for Magic Round.
This year the Tigers have played “Home games” at Leichhardt, Accor, Campbelltown, CommBank, Scully Park & Waikato!
Obviously Heisenberg & Pascoe think terms and attitude referrances like ” we owe it to our fans”, “Make this place a fortress” , “we own this ground” and “defending our turf” so often mentioned by NRL Captains are not needed at the Tigers.
You could give them Cleary + Walsh and not make any difference, Still spoon contenders annually.

If Mal thinks Walsh is a better choice at lock than Carrigan, Yeo or Murry he need to step aside

Meninga tosses up surprise positional switch for Walsh at Kangaroos - and voices support for besieged Tedesco

Reece Walsh, Nerang Roosters best yet ? Still chasing Matt Rogers,
Chook raffles in the pub and Mums in the canteen can supporting future champs.

Haas rejects Wallabies and Bulldogs to remain in Brisbane - mere minutes after TPJ quits to free up cap space

How much is JFH on at Penrith ? Given the cap increase its the same percentage of the available funds as Hass will eat out of the Broncs 24/24/26.

Haas rejects Wallabies and Bulldogs to remain in Brisbane - mere minutes after TPJ quits to free up cap space

That’s a couple of good moves by the Broncos
Offload TPG to the Bulldogs = check
Let the Bulldogs think they had a shot at Hass so they push out TPG,
Then miss out on Hass = checkmate

With Pele and Thompson gone next year who is playing front row for the Dogs
Max King starting tight head and also bench rotation and a semi retired Rooster, recruitment masterclass Phil

Haas rejects Wallabies and Bulldogs to remain in Brisbane - mere minutes after TPJ quits to free up cap space

Good to see Thomas Weaver getting a run for the Titans ( Hasler influence ?) he was the preferred halfback for Tweed Seagulls in the QRL pushing the now Bulldog Toby Sexton to 5/8.
Big task against Panthers but he is the future for the Titans. Hope he goes well.

Round 25 Team Lists Late Mail: Wighton out, Papi in line for return, Reynolds suffers setback, Hastings doubt

Broncos have the coin from Flegler and Fartworth in reserve for upgrades next year, with the Dolphin bound pair being replaced from within not buying players.

Looking like only two Sydney based teams in the finals, if only the Titans and Dolphins could have pushed harder

Round 24 Talking Points: Three more teams bite the dust and Eels on life support, Souths stuck in second gear

So do I,

NRL News: Walker makes Roosters return, Luai could dodge agent to sign Panthers extension, Rusty waiting on NRL call
