    20 team comp with talent coming from the US

    The college basketball comparison is just ridiculous for so many reasons. Firstly college basketball players tend to leave college a lot earlier and many now are bypassing college with the NBL now seen as a legitimate developmental league to get into the NBA and more importantly they’re playing...

    20 team comp with talent coming from the US

    The thing is you’re thinking we’d have any chance of getting those elite athletes is just not realistic. I follow American football from college to pros and firstly most of the guys who you’d have a chance of getting are mostly likely going to be redshirt seniors so 23-24 years old, in todays...

    I've said it for years

    100%, once they’re in the college system they’ll be there for 5 years then probably spend a year or 2 trying to make a practice squad or bouncing around the CFL or XFL, by the time they’ve given up on the NFL dream they’ll be 26 or 27 years old and it’s just way too old to try to teach them the...

    2023 R2 - Wests Tigers 12-14 Newcastle @ Leichhardt

    You don’t have to convince me he can’t coach his way out of a paper bag, unfortunately I think it will be hard for wests to sack him if half the team is out and they show some ‘resilience’. Let’s by honest Newcastle have never been a cut throat club where accountability is high on the agenda...

    2023 R2 - Wests Tigers 12-14 Newcastle @ Leichhardt

    Issue is this win and our ridiculous injury toll buy him time. Like make no mistake we’re a pathetic excuse for a rugby league team but now we have half our team injured/suspended give AOB a great built in excuse

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    In that case you’d be better off just recruiting from HS, once they get into college more than likely they’re staying 5 years. The thing is anyone who is an alpha athlete will get a shot in the NFL even if it’s a practice squad so you’re left with the average athletes in their early to mid 20s...

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    I don't think old Pete has put much thought or an ounce of research into this. College football players especially those not likely to be drafted typically stay in college for 5 years and then those with any sort of athletic potential will head over to CFL, XFL or float around from one practice...

    2023 R2 - Wests Tigers 12-14 Newcastle @ Leichhardt

    Really disappointed with the tigers, we were ripe for the picking but somehow the tigers managed to outderp us. I’m one of many knights fans who want O’Brien gone and this win whilst great for morale is prolonging the tenure of O’Brien

    Match Discussion: Round 2 vs Wests Tigers @ Leichhardt Oval, Lilyfield

    I’ve heard him on a few podcasts and he’s a footy head, lives and breaths rugby league which I don’t think is the case for a lot of our squad who literally have zero football IQ

    Match Discussion: Round 2 vs Wests Tigers @ Leichhardt Oval, Lilyfield

    Yep I agree he was good, like no dumb errors or hospital balls, the stuff we’re usually accustomed to but he just couldn’t help himself at the end. I really want to understand his thought process

    To be fair him being a flog offers more than most of the players in the team

    Crossland is literally the dumbest player on the NRL, deliberately kicks out on the full for no reason what so ever then gives away a penalty for again no reason what so ever

    Bunker is cooked, literally deemed that he promoted the ball but try anyway

    Match Discussion: Round 2 vs Wests Tigers @ Leichhardt Oval, Lilyfield

    To be fair he’s not alone. You can tell there’s no semblance of organisation in attack close to the opposition line. For the past few years our game plan has literally been give it to Ponga and hope for the best

    Hymel’s error rate is unacceptable for someone who’s only selling point is that he’s safe

    We use our attacking sets to pad the run metres for our forwards

    Match Discussion: Round 2 vs Wests Tigers @ Leichhardt Oval, Lilyfield

    Want to know why our attack is atrocious, great ball 10m out from the tigers line and 8 out of 10 plays were one out forward hit ups
