I just had a Quick Look at the Panthers this season. They used 31 players but 7 of them played a total of 14 games. So the other 24 played the majorit...
I’m not sure what too many is or too little or how many is a good number. But you’re right in that the top 20 should consist of genuine 1st grade tale...
Yep, some won’t make it and some will be moved on but there are very few players who make it at 19 especially forwards. Most debut at 20 or 21. Kit is...
It’s a difficult one. I think not every young guy we bring through into NRL will be very good players, some will simply be squad players, depth player...
All good but what I have never stated is “don’t bother with Nikora”. By all means have a crack at him come November & I hope it pays off but do I ...

I’m not sure if this kind of thing is allowed under the anti-tampering laws but I wonder if the Tigers have thought of going to the Sharks & offer...
Plenty of experience, tough & may still have a good year or two in him.
Anyone heard any news on Sione Mata’utia? 29 next year, been a good edge back rower in the UK. If no Bateman would anyone consider him over maybe 1 or...
In 2023 the Tigers used 5 players who were 20 years old or younger, they played a combined total of 13 games. In 2024 the Tigers used 10 players who w...
