    Hope there are ' lots ' of tackling bags available.

      Anyone prepared to stick their neck out and predict who cops a season ending injury during training?

      Billy Smith perhaps?
      1985: 1 try vs Parramatta, 1 try vs Manly, 1 try vs Wests, 2 tries vs Souffs
      1986: 2 tries vs Illawarra, 1 try vs Balmain, 2 tries vs Norths.

          As the year goes on (2025) - can anyone see E Butcher becoming a starting front rower along side Collins. We need strength and impact on the bench - ie: Whyte and Spencer.

            No way is Egan a prop forward.
            He aint built for it and isn't a barge type player thats makes post contact metres.
            The Va'a bros and another we've got coming through NSW Cup are though, and will compliment Spencer and Collins off the bench.
            Whyte should be playing tight rather than Egan and Nat.

              5. Young
              6. Sandon
              7. Townsend
              8. Leniu
              9. Watson
              10. Collins
              11. Crichton
              12. Rads
              13. Whyte

                I'm slowly falling out of love with Collins.

                He needs to step up now that JWH has retired.

                  By that you mean not make any metres, do dumb shit to give away heaps of penalties, and get suspended all the time?

                  Lindsay is all effort - that's why he plays for Australia. though do agree we need an Alpha.

                  As there are no more punches in the game, we have Spence to be our handbags at 10 paces 'enforcer'

                    You don't seem to have a very keen sense of the contribution of the one and only JWH. Although you may just be kidding, in which case this first sentence is withdrawn.

                      Go to a live game and just watch Lindsay Collins.

                      Then you'll appreciate again.

                        You forgot to upload his stats

                        When was the last time he performed like a rep player for us? I honestly can't remember.

                          He's a second rower/Lock...our "Yeo"...which makes us a big prop short.

                            Damn stats always getting in the way of your bad takes.

                              I’m sick of seeing Collins constantly get smashed. Nobody ever put Jarred on his back.

                              Sure he does some good stuff, chases well too but he’s often easy pickings for the defence. I hate seeing our front rower get dominated.

                              Must be doing plenty right, he’s got a few rep jerseys now.
