Yeah there is a stench of don't give a f**k that is impossible to ignore right now

The eye rolling when O’Brien was talking in the press conference last week shows where he is at

Is it time we start talking about the legitimacy of short kicks offs? Is there a stat somewhere of how many are successful? Seems like it's an almost dead set certainty for a fresh set 10m out middle of the field, as opposed to 35+ down field

Yeah I’m not a fan of it. I also still can’t figure out why the hell the receiving team can’t touch the ball until it goes 10m, let along be penalised for it

Ponga should be donating 2/3rds of his salary back to the club.

He went there 'to win a premeirship' according to his own words. It's a noble thing to do (if he really meant it) as usually an ambitious star would choose somewhere else.

10-0, Eels. Halftime. The Newcastle crowd will be losing patience...

...Eels win 28-6, that's a flogging in the Hunter.

Carrigan and Reynolds quoted as saying that the Taupau liking of a media post is a bad look, and he is going to have to sit down with all the senior players and explain himself

This comes from the same club who had a bloke drive drunk and full of drugs, while not holding a licence, and veer onto the opposite side of the road and collect another car injuring the young girl. No sacking for that and crickets from the senior players

Don’t think logic like that is any part of it sadly

Intensity of this Dogs Roosters game is so good

Robert Toia with a coach killer. Far out

SJ was pretty accurate. we had a pretty successful time of it in 2023. Ford was quite good at snaffling them. Berry too i seem to remember. Not so much in 2024. Metcalf is not good enough with the boot in 2025 so far.

It's still 14-0 at halftime to the Chooks. I'll be 0/2 for tipping tonight. I'm so glad no money's involved. At this rate you watch the Tigers steam home on Sunday. What a great season!

What a try!
Highlight reel for years!

Speaking of SJ, geez he’s making a good fist of his move into media post footy, he’s already way better than some of the more established guys (looking at you Gordon Tallis). I’d say he’s going to have a solid career as a presenter for a couple of decades if he wants to.

Was hoping for a Roosters win to give us the chance to go equal first if we can get past the dolphins
