Russell was good. Loved seeing him fire up.

Speaking of Prawns, my dad and my uncle had a massive fight. My uncle goes out of town for a few nights so dad goes and fills his hubcaps with prawn heads.

I don’t know how long it took for my uncle to change his tires but let’s just say he called my dad straight away and he wasn’t too happy lol.

he got off lucky
i've heard of other people shoving them down the vents and the whole dash had to be removed to get them out

 

[King-Gutho94]

Thanks for leaving Galvin out yesterday Benji.

And now having to go back with the tail between your legs.

[Soto]

Pretty sure they scrapped that loophole years ago

Maybe drop him to Ron Massey or Sydney Shield...there's form there by another team..

 

[The EELiminator]

Don't want to hear any of you bitches whinging about Mitch's pay packet. He's worth every cent.

we need to re-sign him three years in advance just so nobody can sneak a bid in

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Richo in the press conference telling Benji and Api not to comment on Galvin lol

The press will make something up anyway.

Dally M points

Moses - 6
Kelma - 2
Luai - 2
Iongi - 1
Hopgood - 1

based on that I’m entirely certain the judges didnt watch the game. Saw the headlines that Moses had a blinder and then just chose some other players for the minor points.

Kelma and Hopgood were not in the top 5 players in the eels team let alone in the game

Luai was absolutely ratshit. If anyone from the tigers deserved points it was May.

That is disgraceful. Whoever the two 'Experts' who came up with that should have a red-line put through them.

I'm in the minority but I have no problems with the 3, 2 ,1 voting system. Especially now where they have two sets of eyes watch over every game the system SHOULD work. We vote for the 3, 2, 1s in the forum and for the most part you usually get similar results.

However sometimes you have to question if they do even watch the same game? I mean Hopgood played 38 minutes yesterday and was hardly any better than solid in that stint. Luai was invisible the whole game. Kelma did well for his try but was pretty dogshit apart from that.

I'm pretty sure the 'Experts' get paid for their votes, so like the old days they should have to put their names against the game and it be public. But also they should have to submit it with a small blurb with a justification of why they voted for that player. It doesn't have to be a novel but for example:

Judge Lemon Squash

3 Points (Mitchell Moses) - Outstanding in his comeback game, 3 try assists, a 40/20, was composed throughout and took his opportunities when they presented. The whole team looked far better with him being there.

 

[Parra Pride]

Luai was invisible the whole game. Kelma did well for his try but was pretty dogshit apart from that.

They watch highlights. Luai kicked for two tries, Kelma scored a try so that means they played well.

 

[Lemon Squash]

They watch highlights. Luai kicked for two tries, Kelma scored a try so that means they played well.

Correct... thus why they should have to submit it with justification explaining how they came to that decision.

 

[Pazza]

you'd imagine matterson or guymer jumps into Kelmas spot

id say cartwright but who knows what is going on there

 

[Angry_eel]

I'm happy to see the new experienced players like Fox and Walker rev the team up

Fox is reminding me of Fergie Ferg

When Cartright is focussed, i love him at right edge

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Galvo could at least be squeezing fresh oranges on the sidelines, punctuated by the odd donut run for Richo.

DonutFirst, he could open a franchise.

Display them at press conferences next to the Red Bulls.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Not bad photography from Jarryd cheering the boys home yesterday from the grandstand

 

[the phantom menace]

So after all that, Galvin is to be renamed in Tigers NRL side for this weekend.

Galvin’s lawyers call for ‘urgent mediation’ after NRL recall

Lawyers acting for Lachlan Galvin say they want mediation with the Wests Tigers to resolve “a range of issues” their client has with the club.

www.smh.com.au

I don't think there's any early release coming, unless it's through a player (player-manager) triggered court case, which will take ages to be heard...

So imo we will still need a 2026 option in Dylan's spot at #6, not Galvin.

Eddie Jones in the coaches box yesterday was an interesting addition.

Ryles said Eddie had been at training all week.

Providing feedback to himself and all the coaches.

To me shows a coach that's willing to park his ego to keep learning and grow as a coach to get his mentor's perspective on how things are being handled.

He gets around, he was in Seibolds box the other week.

 

[Chipmunk]

He copped the suspension in first grade.

So he's eligible for NSW Cup then?

 

[King-Gutho94]

Slothfield could not give us any credit whatsoever.

Still carrying on how the tigers got dudded.

Those Poor tigers copped every bad decision yesterday apprantley.

 

[Noise]

So he's eligible for NSW Cup then?

No. Do you think if you cop a suspension in origin you only miss origin games too?
