    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    Reading between the lines, sounds like it’s done (we can’t announce anything kind of implies it’s a done deal) - either way an odd quote. Surely a “when we have something to announce we will let you all know” would’ve been more appropriate.

    Jackson Topine sues Bulldogs

    Shopped in bulk then? The agent has tried to find him another club, but there was no bite.

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    Turuva would be a great pick up. Ideal replacement for Tupou and definitely an upgrade. His work getting the Panthers out of their end is a huge part of their success (along with the likes of Edwards, To’o, Critta and Manu others over the years). Starting to put together a very strong backline...

    Jackson Topine sues Bulldogs

    Certainly gives credence to the theory it was a cash grab. Shopped around, no bites so we will sue the club.

    2024 R8 Thu - Melbourne 54-20 South Sydney @ AAMI

    I remember his debut, thought he was a hopeless player and a tosser who was offended to be tackled. 8 years later, nothing has changed

    First coach sacked 2024

    Ponga’s golden second half of the season last year probably bought him enough time to not win this years sack race.

    Vale Terry Hill

    One of the games greatest ever nigglers. Was partially responsible for the next gen of opposition fans hating Manly. The phrase “you hate him unless he plays for you, then you love him” comes to mind.

    Jackson Topine sues Bulldogs

    It almost always does.

    Jackson Topine sues Bulldogs

    If he had left the club and picked up another contract I doubt this would be going ahead.

    Jackson Topine sues Bulldogs

    He’s played 16 games since his debut in 2021 (for a bottom 4 side). Currently does not have an nrl contract. Not sure he was ever going to be more than a fringe first grader. If clubs were considering him before this, they probably look to other options now.

    This. If his career wasn’t over before this broke, it certainly is now.

    Rugby Australia to target top NRL talent

    Also who decides how many points each player is worth? If it’s based on rep performances does an origin halfback cost the same as a winger? Seems very idealistic but hard to see how it functions in practise.

    2024 R7 Sun - Canterbury 36-12 Newcastle @ Accor

    Seemed like a complete piss take, however if that’s serious calling it handbags is disrespectful to handbags.

    The Future Endeavors Have Begun

    Xia Li Daniel Vidot Jinder Mahal All gone. Daniel Vidot - we all know him more for his football. Xia Li & Jinder have both been regular recipients of the famed 3 week pushes.

    2024 R7 Sat - Penrith 22-6 Wests Tigers @ Carrington

    If that’s against us they let it run. Shocking call.
