    2023 Origin I - Wed 31 May - NSW 18-26 QLD @ Adelaide

    Even thinking about having sex with someone who is not your partner is considered immoral these days

    2023 Origin I - Wed 31 May - NSW 18-26 QLD @ Adelaide

    I agree at lower levels of the game. Not at the elite level though. NSW coaches like Sticky, Bellamy, and Daley lived and died by the selections of has-beens like Bozo. Remember a bloke called Jamie Buhrer? At rep level, the coach isn't a coach. He's a manager. And if is going to be judged...

    2023 Origin I - Wed 31 May - NSW 18-26 QLD @ Adelaide

    Stretch has been left out of Souths team v Raiders now, so it would've been Crichton, and we know what happened with Crichton in last year's Origin series. We'll have to see what happens Wednesday night re Turbo. As you say, if he's not up to it, it will show up big! What I do know is this is...

    2023 Origin I - Wed 31 May - NSW 18-26 QLD @ Adelaide

    Club training and prep for a game in the NRL this weekend still continues

    2023 Origin I - Wed 31 May - NSW 18-26 QLD @ Adelaide

    What about Holmes getting monstered by To'a on the weekend? I think Gagai had the runs on the board to get selected. Has never really disappointed in an origin game. Ballsy move by Slater. Could say it goes against the QLD ethos in a way. I'm not disputing HTF is the better player...

    First coach sacking 2023?

    When was this? Give them a break, no doubt. Penrith only had a few weeks with the main group after all their WC players returned to training for 2023. Apparently, their pre-season extended into the early weeks of the season, which makes sense given how they began the year. But premierships...

    2023 Origin I - Wed 31 May - NSW 18-26 QLD @ Adelaide

    Yet if Cook was taken by Freddy to be an 'add-on', the club and fans would be up in arms about him not being able to play for Souths this weekend. Don't ever change footy fans. Just need a whinge for the sake of it. These squad players outside the playing 17 come from clubs who have a bye in...

    Round 12 - Rabbitohs vs Eels: Friday 19th May 8pm @Allianz Stadium

    I think Souths have a decent record v Parra recently. No way they drop this one. 7up!

    2023 Rabbitohs State of Origin

    Turbo, Jurbo, AdoCarr and Martin are all under done. Fittler has to be careful not to select Penrith like he did last year. Talk is Crichton for AC. Graham should be the first choice centre if Turbo continues to struggle before selection. Never understood Luai gets a free ride because Cleary...

    WT’s Pathways

    A few reasons for the change. SG Ball as u18s meant top-age players were in their HSC year. Although the transition from Matts to Ball is generally seamless, many guys don't go beyond SG Ball so relieving this pressure on top age players to perform in a big academic year, while most likely also...

    WT’s Pathways

    There could be a tonne of reasons why there are changes at Flegg level. No one knows about injuries as they're not reporting to the media. They're at the mercy of the two grades above too. With a spare half an hour over lunch, I've noticed heaps of changes in every flegg squad each week...

    First coach sacking 2023?

    Dragons board and exec have made the Tigers look like stellar. Just limping from f**k up to f**k up. Don't worry about name change surveys. Telling Griffin he needed to 'reapply' for his role in 2024, at the beginning of the 2023 season, was moronic move. He was a dead man walking right...

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    This is one the most absurd things I've heard. Have the club even had a board meeting since he was appointed? Is he coaching the team?

    2023 R10 Sat - Melbourne 12-28 Souths @ Suncorp

    On what planet is playing Melbourne in Brisbane the same as playing them in Melbourne? Enjoy the win. Souths are currently the team to beat. But don't sprout bullshit

    Round 10 - Storm vs Rabbitohs: Saturday 6th May 7:45pm @Suncorp Stadium

    Souths has always been able to score points. It's the tryline defence that has improved this season. It's making a huge difference being able to absorb and repel opposition redzone attacks when in the past they would let errors and penalties turn into points. All those guys who piled on with...

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    Would ponissi and bellamy sign this bloke? I think when any potential recruit is considered, this question should always be asked. Yes, those two have signed a few talented players, but they value character and effort just as much, and it's why players like Josh King thrive in that environment...

    2023 R10 Fri - Manly 6-32 Brisbane @ Suncorp

    Doesn't help when: 1 - one of the highest paid players on the list is lame. 2 - they have invested a lot of the cap in arguably one of the most talented, but well-known as the laziest player in rugby league. 3 - and the heart beat of the club is out injured.

    2023 R9 Sat - Penrith 8-12 Wests Tigers @ Bathurst

    Penrith have lost players. Parra too. Souths and Roosters retained all of them. Brisbane are better. Cowboys are worse. Cronulla are the same. Manly are a Turbo injury away from a losing streak. Melbourne still hard to get a read. Going off last week's game v Souths, Penrith will make the...

    The jack wighton hype

    Juniors were the financially endowed partner in the arrangement with Souths, but they are actually doing it tough recently. A combination of the light rail construction taking away their parking, and COVID, have led to lean years. To the point the NRL club leased admin space at Juniors...

    The jack wighton hype

    A club's fans hate anything they're not!? Except tigpies fans. They hate what they are right now. But after a couple of decades in the 90s and 2000s where Souths were a place for spuds to try and get a game, they're now a destination club. And why wouldn't a club what to be that! It means...
