No Trespassing - Whyte - Collins - Lenui patrol these grounds.

I agree on Egan, and I’ve been super critical of him for the last year or so. When he initially burst onto the scene he looked like he could be anything, the better Butcher, but then his form went backwards. Are we now seeing his coming of age; I bloody well hope so and I hope he continues to grow his game. I also think Robbo is using him way better and the competition for spots has lifted his (and everyone’s) game.

Your criticism was warranted, I think the platform being laid by the others is allowing him to get back to his normal game which as you say hasn't been there for a couple years.

I like foketi too, he has a bit of venom in him, reminds me of cordner. He will be a gun.

Foketi is the modern day Gillmeister.

I still think the Raiders have the best forward pack

After they beat us, I jumped on them to win the comp. Too big, too fast.
Also had a nibble at us making gf .
Been good collects last 2 weeks 13+, can't believe it was $4.9 against dogs.

The experts would say that Props would start playing their best footy from around the age of 28.

I'm starting to think that it could be younger these days with the 6 again rule and current speed of the game.

Collectively these 3 have added a hard edge to our pack.

Radley, Watson, Foketi, Wong, E Butcher and Steep have also stepped up to plate. We've become a force to be reckon with again! This is now clear after our 3rd consecutive win especially after making the Bulldogs pack look so submissive.

The big dog left a void when he retired and it's finally been filled again. I reckon he'd be proud of the boys after last nights performance.

If the ref actually did his job and sin binned one of the two head high shots we would have put 50 on the dogs and absolutely killed off their dream of a premiership.
They will be lucky if they can jag a top 4 spot now flat track bullies.

They're bums.

We burst their bubble and they've come crashing back down to earth.

We bombed 3 tries, could've got to 50 anyway

Same against the Dolphins TBH. I'm nitpicking but IMO in both games we coulda prevented the scoring of late tries and instead piled on 3 more.

Guess it's easier said than done though, and the Faders/Drizz/Wahs/Doggies...etc aren't necessarily achieving such feats. Lapses inevitably happen over 80 min periods.

I think this is sorta where the 'they scored those tries off kicks so we are not concerned' narrative comes from. Heck now teams are whinging about the 'rule change' that you can't tackle a guy in the air, so it's unfair that we have Tupou.

PLEASE!!! Your best centre is a dodgy fark who's about twice the size/strength he was when suspended for using steroids. You've also signed ~60% of the Pamfers' premiership winning squad while throwing big bucks at a rookie half who was kicking stones. Boo faaarking hooo you're not allowed to tackle Toops in the air ya grubz!!! Pretty sure if we removed all the 'tries off kicks' (which coaches seem to love crying about the illegitimacy of when down by 20+ at half-time... 'it's nil all boys... all those tries were off kicks so they don't count') then the Dogiiiiz still got bashed through the middle of the field. Unless I missed Whyte's athletic, leaping tries off kicks?

I still think the Raiders have the best forward pack & both Penrith & Melbourne are hard arse the Dogs are not in their league & cannot win the comp.
The Roosters pack has the potential to be up there with Canberra, Penrith & the Storm buts its probably 2026 when we'll compete with them. This year has been a a great learning experience for Whyte, Foketi, Steep & Wong after losing JWH, May & Sitilli.
There is some real quality coming out of the Chooks & all of them developed by the Chooks.
I think Teddy & Gus are the only 2 players that didnt debut for the Chooks from last nights team thats unbelievable. In by gone years we would have had 2 players in the 17 who debuted for us & the other 15 we would have bought.

100% comments, if indeed we make the 8, we'll do some carnage.

At this point I wanna shake that Melb monkey. We did the Riff but we have to do the Driz. I think our pack has evolved really well this season and that gives us a good path for Sammy and Teddy.
