    PNG (and Pacific Islands team/s) is said to be political, using rugby league to counter China's influence in the region.

    A conspiracy theorist might have an opinion about it.

    Also on a similar note, just bloody hope we don't have another typical slow start next season !
    To the NRL's credit (dont often get to say that), the Vegas 4 play another Vegas team in Rd2 .....so the 4 teams can't complain about jetlag or travel disruptions for their first local game after Vegas.

    Indeed.

    Broncos , when do we ever beat them.
    Manly at full strength at Brookvale.
    Dogs with all their new stars, their home game.
    Souths at full strength.
    Panthers
    Knights at their home game
    Storm, when do we ever beat them.

    If we're not "too big, too strong, too fast"...and too aggressive, too overpowering...we'll be on zero points going into the
    Anzac day game.

    We need to be switched on, ready to play like the Kiwis did...
    or we will most certainly get left behind like we do every season in rugba leeg.

    I think having a smooth run with injuries is more important..

    Even if Sam Walker comes out and plays like Thurston every week,it won’t help much if we keep getting decimated with injuries like the past few seasons.

    Hopefully we get some change of luck!

    This is a real issue, the only time I have been locked up was when I went to the States with the Navy Rugby team.
    Just look at the Cops wrong and you end up in cuffs.

    I like it. Only 2 5 day turnarounds, no byes in the first half of the season & they’re nicely spaced for the back half. We only play Penrith once in the regular season. I think 8 of the first 13 would be a pass mark, if we get that, there’s no reason we can’t get 10 of the last 11. Finish with 42 points which should be in the top 4. Tough first 4 weeks, nobody panic if we only win 1 of them although I think we should get 2.
    42 points.
    Let’s get through rd 1 first & then see if we can win rd 2.
