Yeah it was a joke. I was just wrong

…I meant discussions about how he won coach of the year lol

Kev not even being in discussions around coach of the year last year is a disgrace. It’s why I’m not mad about Baker getting a run. Kev has proven already in his short stint that he gets the best out of players (if they buy in). Palasia, Arthurs, Billy, Jensen all played well above their pay...

One of his best first grade games at the Bronx imo. Looking far more strategic

Without a doubt. Seems to have improved in a lot of ways too which is weird to say. I wonder if Haas being out has given him the space or confidence to really push himself to another level. It will be great to have Haas back and let Patty manage his work load better.

In that case, Keep giving players shit please.

Flashes of an optimistic post-Reynolds spine. Not perfect by any means but played with confidence and a game plan.

I didn’t give him a point, but Smoothy is underrated. He’s a very solid hooker

Yeah he’s a weird one. He was a great junior and showed glimpses of incredible athleticism early on. Kind of just waited for it all to click but he ended up just channeling it into being a solid all rounder who only stands out in regards to kick chases (which he does beautifully for the record).

I’m not too fussed about who we chuck at second row as long as it isn’t Patty. We just need a depth option. Riki is solid with the occasional poor defensive lapse and not offering much in attack, but he’s a good role player in a team of stars on a favourable contract. Pikaura is a very good...

i think Tedesco has always been overrated to some extent, an incredible athlete and an attitude to work hard but over the last few years he’s become an absolute handbrake in attack. People see his godly stats but overlook the fact that he has 2 or 3 runs a set, in attacking zones that...

I want Walsh to get it but being entirely objective, Ponga is the more rounded player currently. KP has a 5 year head start on RW though

Geez these articles are getting earlier and earlier.

Yep, the Arthars, Jensen, Riki, even Billy and Smoothy bit part players are going to be critical. Kev and his team will need to keep nailing those value for money finds to balance the superstars. On a related note, I recently saw that Zero Tackle has Riki down as $350k per year. I’m not...

With age, the hype around players starts to die down to a more realistic level too. I don’t think Staggs would get the same stupid offers he would’ve last time around.

The kid was on debut in their defence

We won’t keep all of Haas, Willison and Te Kura. We’ll get a good year or 2 out of the young guys if we’re lucky. Cap can’t fit them all. New young guys will come through and fill the void and the circle of life continues.

Selwyn isn’t worth a million dollars to us

Although Riki and Walters did directly contribute to our downfall, I don’t think hooker is what’s holding us back from a GF victory. Both Billy and Smoothy are doing their job at a level good enough to get us there.
