Train and trial for Daniel Meafou
Which is understandable given his injury history, if he gets himself right he’s top notch.
He’s on another level compared to ‘hutcho’ and ‘jarrah’
Weatherall is the big watch for me this year, all the talent in the world but has Corey Ackers tendencies which isn’t ideal. Keep fit and work hard and he should be fine

He got plenty of weeks T&T this season so he'll spend plenty of time with the NRL squad and yes pencilled in for fulltime in 27.

Can I just ask, is it:
First row: LPT, Williams, Stewart, Egan, Halangahu
Second row: Who?, Who?, CST, Meafau, I knew but name has slipped my mind?, Reed
Leeroy, Jarrah Hutcho

Hilarious putting Souths at 15th, if they stay healthy their a certainty for top 8

They don't have a halfback, have a 5/8 well past his best an average hooker and halfback.

almost any team could be top 8 bar a couple I feel.. someone has to lose each week.. then throw injuries over time.. and some teams will under-deliver.. conversely some teams will over-deliver too (aka the raiders in 2025).

I thought Flanno wanted to toughen up Sloan with boxing? Is his absence a sign he’s gone?

NEW PLAYMAKER ARRIVES AT DRAGONS
In Wollongong, St George Illawarra have been back at training for two weeks but coach Shane Flanagan’s preseason preparations were bolstered by the arrival of senior players and his new recruits. Former Cronulla playmaker Daniel Atkinson, who agreed to join the club on a three-year deal almost 12 months ago, made his long-awaited arrival to preseason training. Atkinson is expected to slot into the halves, alongside Kyle Flanagan, next season but coach Flanagan’s halves puzzle is far from solved.Rookie playmaker Lyhkan King-Togia, who is highly-rated at the club, is also in the mix and is expected to push for a spot over the summer. New forward signing Josh Kerr was all smiles when he clocked in for training on Monday.
Skipper Clint Gutherson cut a fit figure on day-one but the veteran fullback is well-known for his high fitness standards. Star centre Valentine Holmes missed the final rounds of 2025 with a shoulder injury but was also back on deck for training on Monday morning.

Just seen the 2026 draw and I for one can't complain about it. If good enough the draw gives us every chance to make the top 8. Time will tell

Playing the tigers/titans/knights twice is a blessing
Manly and warriors twice as well who I think will fall away a fair bit
Broncos 4 days after origin 1 - Knights 2 days after origin 2 - Tigers the week prior to origin 3 so missing their origin players potentially (Luai/May/Koroisau)
Realistically it’s a favourable draw for us, I think 13 wins is a fair enough target and that’s the minimum required to get into the finals in all likelihood
