    Flashback - 1996

    I actually worked for the catering company that did the chargers games and ended up doing most of the season in the members bar. Whilst I don't specifically remember the game against Penrith, the crowds figures were a known source of entertainment amongst the members, to the point that a couple...

    Whatuira arrested and taken to secure hospital unit for mental health assessment

    Not sure how I was being disrespectful in the title - it is a terminology of the facility (allbeit in this santised age not very PC), not the player in question. As you can see in my post I asked if anyone knew anything else on this - as it seemed very out of character for the guy. But to...

    Whatuira arrested and taken to secure hospital unit for mental health assessment

    Just saw this on Sky Sports News - I wonder what has happened here?? He always seemed to have a decent head on his shoulders - does anyone have any ideas?? (Mods - not sure if better in UK forum?? But given he is one of the chosen `05 ones.......)...

    Channel 10 Brisbane - YOU are a JOKE!

    Just on what you said here mate, I live in Montreal (from brissy) and they are talking about CanWest media trying to flog off their 49% share of channel 10 Australia for about $500mil - so saying Ten is worth over $1billion. In the article they had in the paper here they said that it was...

    Road Trip from Brisbane to Geelong.. Ideas??

    On the way back there is a town just past Albury called Holbrook - not much to look at except for a giant submarine in the middle of the park....apparently it is the spiritual home of the submarine branch of the navy. Guess when they get back they want to get as far away from water as...

    Wests Tigers shift east

    Geez I hope so.......I am moving to Montreal next year and it would be great to have a home game there ;-) - I can teach the quebecois how much better league is than hockey :p

    Tigers Sign Halfback Josh Lewis for 2009

    Apparently. No source link though...... I read in the Gold Coast Bulletin that Josh Lewis was "heading to Wests Tigers" for next season. I have been overseas for a couple of years, so is this the same Josh Lewis prodigy from the Roosters, who then went to St George? (last of my memory before I...

    Liam Fultons try vs. Brett Mullins

    Just saw the bigpond highlights package of the Tigers game and the final try from Liam Fulton. Although it wasnt an individual effort with Farah as the kicker, it reminded me of the great Brett Mullins 2 kick try vs. Brisbane in the mid 90's (1995??). Because I am yet to see the game for the...

    International Media Coverage of SOO

    Hi all, Just wondering if anyones knows whether multi-year deals were struck regarding the international coverage of State of Origin? Namely in Nth America (Canada precisely) as I have now setup base here and am trying to see any sport that is not ice hockey on TV (no I refuse to even enter...

    Raiders v Tigers @ Davies

    Hi Langpark, Can you tell me why it is the last game? I grew up in Brisbane and played some matches there, and although the Magpies have moved to the Logan district, I thought the ground was being maintained as the primary venue for the 2nd Division, playing prelims and finals there. Or is it...

    ARL VictoryBowl I 2009

    I like the idea, but my concern is not with the name and/or connotations with other sports formats, but in the teams represented. Being an old Wests Magpies fan, I would HATE to watch us come up against a full or even half full NRL side, it would be like going back to the dark old days of...

    Not long to go now...

    I am heading off to live in South America in mid September but it is such a good feeling to know, after so many years of dissappointment, that the Tigers are the "current" premiers and QLD holds the origin shield. Only other things I could hope for is that a Holden driver is on top of the V8...

    storm get ground for round 26

    Just a further thought to this, would it be a feasible idea to open a couple of areas to the kids participating in the carnival to watch the match. It seems an easy, cheap solution to getting bums on seats and allows the storm to still make money from their last game of the season (by the paying...

    Peter Jackson Appreciation

    His photo still hangs above the bar the the Pine Rivers Bears football club - one of only 2 internationals (great company with the picture of Bobby Lindner). I remember when he passed how important that his wish was granted so have his ashes spread over Lang Park. Though if he was around...

    Whats in an emblem?

    Just a quick Friday arvo discussion thread. I was thinking about how I read somewhere once that Souths are called the bunnies because of the high number of people who sold rabbit meat and hides in redfern at the turn of the century (I could be completely wrong so feel free to correct me). So...

    Whats your deal ?

    Coming from an army family we used to move every couple of years and at one stage Dad was posted to Ingleburn so we got moved to Minto. I was only a little tucker then but there were so many of my schoolmates who were wests fans and after the day we had our athletics day at Orana park I was...

    Current Win/Loss Streaks for your club

    After watching the Tigers beat the Sharkies for the 6th time in a row, it got me thinking about what each's clubs best current winning and losing streaks are. For the Tigers it is Cronulla (6 games) winning and Penrith :evil: 7 losses (i think). So what are your clubs streaks? (Also given...

    The Things We Miss

    This one is more onfield than the nostalgic stuff written above - but raking in the play the ball. God I miss the days when you had to be quick witted as soon as you got up, otherwise a cheeky hooker would just reef the ball from you with a quick boot.

    Fuifui faces 12-week ban

    I raised this point in a later post.......... People without a knowledge of our game and its judiciary processes don't see/understand the idea of loadings & carry on points - they see that biting gets 12 weeks and high shots only 6. The media needs to better report - detailing both the...
