Something interesting. Poor bloke hope someone gets sued into oblivion but nrl physio explaining this also relates to Sorenson in the prelim where he passed the hia in the sheds but was still ruled out.

I actually seen him convulse. I'm staggered he was allowed to play.

The 2025 Panthers Harold Matthews Cup Player of the Year prop Talmage Brown is training with the Panthers top squad throughout the preseason and he’s not even 18 years old yet.
Penrith have a high opinion of the youngster and Talmage is definitely a player to watch over the next few years.

Looks like the R360 idea may be dead in the water.

R360 launch postponed for two years after 'handful of players' withdraw

Threats of long bans for prospective R360 players prompted "a handful" of them to withdraw from the rebel league, which now says it will launch in 2028 instead of next year.

Interesting to see what happens to Lomax and Paps.

Probably Perth Bears. V’Landys said they can come back. Not clear who can sign them for next year at this late stage. Maybe the sombreros?

So far as I know, no casualties. That’s the main thing.

I dont think Lomax is allowed to sign with another NRL team.

Sorry, I misread your reply. I think you are correct.

I think that's up to Parra, so they can work something out.

 

[Sime_11]

Perth prob said to PVL let them back in we're desperate for signatures

Parra gave him a release his can sign anywhere .ryles probably happy to gave the 700 k back lomax the winger was getting

I thought they had first option to sign him if he came back? Not that they will

Looking at the instability at the tigers it makes you happy we have a stable coach board and have had long time sponsors staying on board Here is a club that now makes a profit has gone forward in it playing roster but now is back in total chaos.

A strong united board is something they never have had.Off all other clubs I would love to see them go well.Our only instability are some of the people on here me more than most .
Up the panthers

 

[betcats]

I know the tigers have esablished brands of wests and balmain and all that. But infighting between the two club boards is pathetic and really a poor reflection of the NRL that this large area of sydney is repped by that rabble.

If im in charge of the NRL take both their licenses deal with pain that brings and put a new club in campeltown that isnt constantly cutting off its nose to spite its face.

 

[Murraymob1]

The fighting does stem from what is tigers what is magpies apply to the nrl for a 2 part logo when playing at leichartd have a tiger humping a magpie and at Campbelltown a magpie humping a tiger body h logos get a go

 

[Goonji]

The height of arrogance and “tone deafness” for me was the Wests tigers expecting the government to fund significant and multi million dollar upgrades to both Leichhardt and Campbelltown stadiums while building a centre of excellence at Croydon.

 

[betcats]

Its just not working, they had a nice little run there on the back of Benji and a couple other stars that came through at the right time, but that was obviously a winning footy side papering over a dysfunctional management.

 

[Fangs]

Something has to change in their governance.

The fan base is there so the Tigers aren't going away. I don't think relocation is a serious option for the NRL either.

Magpies aren't going to get another Sydney club in top grade. The NRL is all about expansion. If they want their brand back it will have to move interstate just like the Bears did.

Yeah whatever they can do to remove the ridiculous competition amongst the management and keep the brand needs to be done. Make them Campbelltown tigers. Balmain isnt the area they should be focused on. Keep the tigers branding and give it to wests, if there was a legal way to do that in 5-10 years i think the game would be much stronger for it.
