    The jack wighton hype

    I think it's probably higher than 90% Kent is actually correct in saying the deal smells, but the way he carries on like a raving lunatic, and the fact he's best mates with sticky makes anything he says impossible to look at objectively, even though in this instance he's correct. Didn't...

    What is wrong with the Lang Park surface?

    I suspect it's as simple as too many events which shouldn't occur on grass being booked there. If you put on a concert where thousands of people are standing on it then it'll need to be re-turfed. If you put dirt bikes on it, it'll need to be re-turfed. Then you lay down new turf, don't give it...

    Can Payne Hass keep this up?

    You'd have to think he can't maintain it over a season, but he's always had a big motor and seems to be getting better at not burning himself out during games. I still think he's overused and he should be getting rested a little more, there's no reason to be trying to play him for 70mins a game

    How did Josh Reynolds go?

    Tim Sheens relieved of coaching duties

    He was already past it when the tigpies kicked him out a decade ago. The other NRL showed no interest for obvious reasons. Why he was anointed the saviour to come back to the club as director is beyond me, and I couldn't stop laughing when they appointed him coach. It's a weird romanticism -...

    Why don't we ever "raid" Union?

    There's people in league who were heralding him as the next immortal before he ever played 1st grade who are upset. They're acting like the jilted lover who now wants to burn down the house For me he's been solid and above average for his age and development but nothing spectacular. I've said...

    "I never wanted to join the Dragons" - Moses Suli

    This is the problem when player agents are running the clubs. Brisbane had this issue for years of mediocre recruitment and retention and it turned out most of the playing squad had the same manager, which also explained some of the really strange signings I'm sure there's plenty who end up...

    Why don't we ever "raid" Union?

    Given he refused to commit for more than a season at a time tells you everything you needed to know about his motives. Souths initially signed him with this clause, the roosters accepted this clause. He hasn't played them - these clubs were so blindsided by the idea he's the reincarnation of...

    Why don't we ever "raid" Union?

    15-20 years ago, I'd have been in the 'ban them ' brigade. As I'm older I've realised that in rugby league we need to stop being so insecure about a player leaving to another code. Whether he's a rugby junior or league junior, he's going for the money and the opportunities of playing...

    It's only March

    It's a month in. I'm happy with our efforts so far, but let's look at how we're holding up in August/September. We were coming 3rd or 4th after round 19 last year and missed the finals...

    Suspend Royce Hunt

    I've loved the banter in the press starting with Corey's "I called him a few mean words" explanation on Matty John's. Hunt said what he thought, was tongue in cheek, unlike Stuart who was dredging up something that apparently happened 15 years ago when salmon was 6 or whatever. The biggest...

    Player welfare and Kalyn Ponga

    Obviously can't be changed this year, whether they introduce it next year who knows. It'll take a big name missing the gf for it to occur, or maybe several. There was a SL player who missed the gf last year (?) Due to getting knocked out in the prelim as they had mandatory stand downs.

    Player welfare and Kalyn Ponga

    They fall over after continually knocking on 😜 In all seriousness, I don't watch AFL, but I will sometimes see "highlights" on the back page, and what happens is one player will be fixated on the loose ball, and some other merkin will smash him from the blindside turning his hip/shoulder into him...

    Player welfare and Kalyn Ponga

    360 said he'd be paid out the contract in full and the club would have that amount freed up in the cap. So from a financial situation he'd be doing fine, plus he has other interests I think, some clothing label or alcohol I think. As others have said, for a player on minimum wage with a series...
