Official 2026 NRL General Discussion

Theres a few on that list that have completely been wiped from my memory.

1. Patrick Gibson
2. Laloa Milford
3. Dustin Cooper
4. Josh Cordoba
5. Jon Green

Aaron bloody Gray. I remember reading the biggest write up about this bloke when we signed him. They made it sound like he was the next best thing!

Unfortunately I can't remember that one appearance he played for us.
Think we signed him and Broderick Wright from Parra and thought we had struck gold with those two lol
 
**** I legit forgot Adam Cutherberton played for us. Wasn't he a smokey for NSW when he played at Manly then came to us on big coin?
 
I know the top 2 aren't locked in, but's let's assume they are. Who would we rather play week 1, Panthers at Commbank or Wahs in NZ?

Option 1 for me.

I haven't written off that we can finish 2nd

Roosters play Warriors in a couple of weeks.

In answer to your question, give me Penrith as no one will give us a chance anyway.
 
Foz. Idiot. He's not much chop at FB if he's not on the field.

Manly coach Kieran Foran says Tom Trbojevic will always remain his first-choice fullback and insists there are zero plans to move his superstar to the centres for the sake of preserving his hamstrings.

“He’s an out-and-out No.1. I know he can play centres at rep level, and he’s done a phenomenal job. But when you talk about No.1s and what they need to be like in the modern game, he epitomises everything an elite No. 1 should be.

“His decision-making and ball playing and execution and skill level is so elite. Then you think about his support play, his defensive try saves … I truly believe if you moved Tom Trbojevic to the centres, you’d be under-utilising one of the great footy minds of our generation.

“That’s not taking anything away from the centre position. But while Tom Trbojevic is fit and healthy, he will always be fullback at this club.”

His last sentence says it all...how often is he fit and healthy?

Lucky you! It was a peak Sticky decision. Guy's main asset was offloads, he ****ed up once, and Sticky told him to forget about offloads (or so the story goes). Completely sucked for the rest of his short tenure.

I remember Milford & Cordoba. My brain doesn't want me to completely forget about all these duds.
In fact, I'm convinced my last thought before I die will be of some random guy who had a sadly forgettable stint with us. Early favorites T-Rex, Misi Taulapapa, Cameron Ciraldo.

That Dustin Cooper was on par with Kurt Dillon for the worst player I've ever seen play for us
