Warriors are 10th but they've been pretty lucky to be honest. 3 wins by a drop goal. All the teams below are improving week to week, where the warriors are getting worse. I think we'll be fighting for the spoon.
Told you big fella 🙂 We beat Melb twice last year. We lost to Penrith by a field goal and 2 points without Reed. Should have been considered a GF contender before this, especially considering other teams have lost key experience or constant injury concerns.
Not going to lie with Foran signing at the Titans no questions about it their strongest spine is with Foran 7 Brimson 6 Campbell 1. Honestly Sexton just doesn’t seem ready to really take control of that side. Also surely Tanah Boyd 14 have him come into rotation at 9 with Erin Clark use smith off the bench into 13 gives them so much more punch
Connor Tracey to the centres, Lachy Miller to debut in the fullback – Sharks
If Lachie Miller doesnt come in for the sharks theres a serious problem. I saw him in the NSW Cup last month bloke made them look like kids.
I’m getting really sick of people and analysts being hyper critical of teams when they haven’t got their full squad on the field. For example the eels – everyone’s been complaining how they’ve been going poor recently but the literal reason for it was because they were missing so many players that they had to shift brown to the centres and put a reserve grader to 6. At the end of the day who gives a shit if they don’t perform well when they’re under strengthed – they’re not going to win the comp with that many players missing anyway. At the end of the day the only thing that really matters is how you perform when you’ve got your full squad out there – and they’ve proved that at full strength they can beat the best (and I’m not an eels fan I’m just sick to death of the criticism they cop)
Jack Wighton to #13 is a phenomenal move. He would KILL IT! He would outplay Yeo for the Aussie jumper at the end of the year. GREAT suggestion.
Toby Rudolph (a prop) was defending at centre while the sharks were down to 11. That’s nuts
Leave the the broncos team as is. (Including capes and haas). Keep the spine and the whole team as is. The light bulb has finally gone off and they need to keep building.
Shoutout to the Guru & SC Playbook. Great content lads 🤙
No notification msg for the jersey drop 😭
1.5 million for Munster is nothing. He's totally worth it. He is doing things no 5/8 has ever done. He's a big game player who's has won premierships. 1.5 is a bargain.
Slater has spent the time down there one on with with pap, showing him plays and how to put himself into the line the way he is. my understanding is billy is down there atleast once a month with pap
The last 6 to play like Munster was Munster last time his contract was up. For the last couple of years he has been the one that was called quite or made the grub plays, sure he would turn it on when origin selection was up for a game or two but overall he is a contract player no matter where he signs you won’t get value until his next contract negotiations start.
Can we get word to Kevin Walters to Buy Euan Aitkin tackle Beast would suite us well on the edge!
Re.. Manly vs Tiigers, using Charles & Eddie's Maths theory from previous weeks, Tigers win by 60+ points.. 🐯
Connor Tracey to center and lachy Miller to fullback
“What about you?…..uh……..big fella”
Great poddy from Beak, Gurino, and… Big fella 👍
Who is there to buy as a 9 for the Broncos not many off contract that’s worth a look at
Said it before and I’ll say it again lol.
Wouldn’t mind more in depth convo about your guys teams of the week! Love the idea but you guys blast straight through it and move on!
Next, would love to hear you guys review on the losing team first then the winning team on all games.
Lastly rabbits aren’t a threat. They’re without Reynolds, Gagai and Bennet. Everyone should know they’re not gonna be anywhere near as threatening as they were last year!
that frogy bloke is awesome keep him on
The biggest problem with the Rabbitohs is their predictability. They run second man plays every single time and teams are starting to jam them and shut it down more easily this season
Kempy, great work as always. Question: I thought Billy Walters service from dummy half was pretty ordinary in the last game. Isn't it worth considering Hetherington in dummy half (given that's the position he used to play) starting and rotating with Paix coming off the bench? That'd give room for Carrigan in at 13.
Good shit boys, loving the content!
what size bloke jerseys does Tom & Eddy wear ?
Nah Denan Newcastle can’t use injuries as an excuse and yes broncos aren’t a top 3-4 side but broncos are now a tough better gritty side and yes it’s in Newcastle but Knights done Jack shit in Newcastle and that game will be tough and shockingly they have a shit record vs Canterbury but I’m tipping Newcastle that game but they’ve got some winnable games next few weeks it’ll be a shame if they can’t win some of em
love that Matt is more involved now. Great show!
Kempy you explaining the obstruction rule on brown in the panthers v eels game was perfectly summed up 👍 I don’t think a lot people understand it & hopefully this puts a little light on what the ruling is
kempy i love ya but i wish youd own your opinions, who cares if people disagree or they dont end up being right. Youll always say and understand the other side of your argument which takes away from it, OWN IT BRA!
Wouldn’t be surprised if Kodi Nikormia ends up the at the phins next year
what you lads are forgetting is wighton has 2 player options for 2023 and 2024 in his contract that he has to activate by june 30.
Munster at 1 and Hunt and DCE in the halves?
Guru and SC is who you want to do the previews. They are real insightful and informational. and hellosport should do reviews. Love hellosport boys reactions and comedy but they always go offtrack.
I thought Foran was pretty good at the dogs, even our best player over his 3 years (I'm pretty sure he won the players award in his last year). Injuries are the only concern. It looks like Sexton needs some serious help at the Titans.
Kempy of Trent is tinkering with the team fame…
I don’t get how the bunker can be in everything else and replaying plays few sets back for a error etc but they couldn’t pick up on a clear knock on like WTAF
Kempy I’ve been saying Whighton to 13 all year mate he’s a big body physical aggressive defender let him ball play or run without having to organise he’d be sensational. The new 13 perfectly fits a “ball running 6” with the rules but yeh bro called it even last year.
Jeez, Storm are going good, I am glad as a fan. It should be a bloody slobber knocker against Penrith this week. The injuries might hurt us and cause our edge defence to be a bit exposed, but we still have an awesome lineup and might win in a high scoring contest if our attack is top notch. I guess it all depends on how exposed our defence is and if we can bust theirs. But even if we lose this match, it doesn't matter, we are 2 games clear of 3rd place.
I hope Paps and Smith have a speedy recovery as with the other boys that are injured.
Rumour has it that Melbourne boil the play book in water alone with i9 computer chip and drink the water every week. 😅

Alex twal take fellas, sorry missed it first time around
