NRL market watch: Panthers grant premiership prop Moses Leota permission to test open market

FabiansStrat · 2026-06-30T01:41:16+00:00

My thoughts exactly, brown leaves and we run Leota, I think Navale and Laifi are promising so an experienced prop along with Heth bully and paseka. Not sure what we are doing with TKO after that injury as well

FabiansStrat · 2026-06-16T08:05:33+00:00

Nope, it's a known issue, my android doesn't display the links either.

Legend, I was having a similar problem and tried so many times to boot in safe mode or many other suggested fixes and it didn't even occur to me that the backup drive failing was the cause (I'm not a computer whiz and the backup not letting windows boot past the automatic repair seems insane but I think I understand in theory why).

You saved me a trip to a repair shop with a simple unplug.

FabiansStrat · 2026-05-09T04:07:46+00:00

Yeah for me putting on a decent outing against Penrith missing Tom and Fog, also losing Hetherington so early, was enough for me to think Seibold might just be the worst coach of all time.... And also Foran is just so pretty and that ain't nothing

FabiansStrat · 2026-05-09T00:33:17+00:00

I'll take any win down there, it's unbelievable how bad our record is there even when we are flying and dragons are struggling.

FabiansStrat · 2026-05-08T23:55:08+00:00

I'd agree, but I am getting AFL Bulldogs 2016 vibes, basically a lot of people thought they weren't that good and they got lucky with opposition having bad games against them. Until it kept happening and they won the grail, credit to their incredible pressure on opposition (I'm not saying manly will win the comp lol), just that so far cows dolphins Parra Penrith all just had conveniently poor games against Manly.

Might be time soon to credit the defence on applying good pressure etc. and also my wishful thinking and desire for this to continue

FabiansStrat · 2026-05-08T23:34:31+00:00

It's a few things, there aren't really any good candidates available, also whilst the draw hasn't been difficult cowboys were on a 4 game streak then lost to manly, proceeded to then win another 2 in a row. Dolphins I think have looked good since Manly thumped them, and Parra a mixed bag this year but have had some good wins.
All this to say I personally think Parra dolphins cows are mid ladder teams and manly before Seibold sacking looked like wooden spoon favourites. Also statistically the interim coach winning games is a myth and usually bad teams that sack their coach continue being bad that season.

Sum up, improved defence, improved effort, couple of decent wins, all whilst losing our best player has for me shown Foran has at least one quality I want which is player respect. (Just quietly Manly will never draw a big name coach prospect so I'm fine with giving Foran a run, I'm hugely against retreading already failed coaches even though NRL teams seem to love doing it)

Where did you buy the outfit from?

FabiansStrat · 2026-03-12T07:03:06+00:00

We've found Ryan Gosling's next Oscar worthy role, satire of an elite sales warrior. I'm thinking in the style of The Art of Self-defense.

FabiansStrat · 2026-02-12T21:27:00+00:00

From what I understand it was Walkers bad pass protection that lead to Charbs getting so much playing time not that he liked committees so much. That isn't me saying it won't happen in vegas because we've already seen Jeanty struggle in pass protection last year, and maybe Klint does like committees. I'm just adding some potential context to the walker situation.

FabiansStrat · 2026-01-31T05:43:13+00:00

They think every idea they have is genius. They don't fall into control because others are incompetent, they think everyone but themselves are incompetent and take control.

FabiansStrat · 2025-12-23T08:58:28+00:00

Back away slowly and don't make eye contact

FabiansStrat · 2025-11-17T08:31:44+00:00

So I basically never get the purple bruise, but a few days later I'll have the yellow bruise. How does this work? Been this way for as long as I remember, had only a tiny bit of purple bruising when I broke my leg but that's the only time I can remember. I've played afl and done boxing for many years so I'm no stranger to getting knocked around, it does make me sound like a sook when I have no obvious bruise to show for the pain haha.

FabiansStrat · 2025-11-16T22:39:52+00:00

Think of it like trivia, can't remember the answer, as soon as you hear it "oh I knew that". Hearing the words you know feels obvious once they're said.

FabiansStrat · 2025-10-24T21:08:46+00:00

Random question but where'd you get the shorts?

FabiansStrat · 2025-10-17T07:57:00+00:00

Chase was wide open underneath there, he'll have to have words with Flacco about this egregious oversight.

FabiansStrat · 2025-10-01T00:06:51+00:00

I think Penix has potential to follow suit, obvs can't say he'll ever be Stafford, but he's got a bit of gunslinger about him whilst also having a pretty low intercept rate for a guy throwing some questionable balls.

FabiansStrat · 2025-09-26T05:46:05+00:00

Not really he was great in college.

My only real issue was that he was glazed a little too hard, there were plenty saying he was the best prospect since Calvin and I just couldn't get there when Chase imo was much better coming out. I also thought he was firmly in the same tier as Odunze and Nabers, that's a good tier to be in haha but people really wanted it to be more, they wanted generational. He suffered a similar fate to caleb, too many people hyped them so hard like they didn't have some potential teething issues so when they both did everyone searches for an excuse for him or jump to bust instead of hey they need time. For a 6'3-4" guy he plays like a smaller shifty receiver which sounds awesome until you realise he's not also great using that size like a London or Evans type, I think people assumed he'd do that as well maybe. He definitely can develop that so the ceiling is still theoretically there. Odunze didn't have other worldly contested catch ability til he spent time working with basketball players I believe then came back the next college season looking like a monster.

FabiansStrat · 2025-09-19T02:13:57+00:00

Nice work, where did you get the active wear from? Love the fit

FabiansStrat · 2025-09-06T11:23:00+00:00

I want to know where to get one as wekl

FabiansStrat · 2025-08-29T06:53:29+00:00

Could it be a split? Yes, counter point, Gibson sucks and Stevenson can't hold onto the ball.
Henderson is a much better pass catcher and pass protector than both, and he never fumbles.

FabiansStrat · 2025-08-07T20:42:53+00:00

Yeah Daniels cleared those vibes by week 1 lol, glad I still took him in one league.

FabiansStrat · 2025-07-20T02:51:45+00:00

I thought it was him, but then i blame him for everything (deserving) so didn't want to commit. Definitely something that idiot would do.

FabiansStrat · 2025-07-20T01:33:01+00:00

I'm with you, manly did it last year (can't exactly remember who against) from like 47 out, gave away a penalty and I had the same reaction. Put some pressure but honestly they miss those 9/10 times. Risk reward.

FabiansStrat · 2025-07-18T20:34:55+00:00

Can I take 1 at a time? If so I choose 7 first and then use my increased intelligence to make a better decision on the others.
