Go watch "All The Way" on 9 Now. Penrith Panthers Doco on their drive to repeat 2022s success in 2023. I quite enjoyed it. Lots of Parra stuff given we were their main opposition. The show highlights Ciraldo. Probably poor editing but he was portrayed as the coach in charge on Nicknames and Sunglasses.
Watching it now. Very good. Like Cleary said about us before the first final, "If we don't get it right they can beat us. If we do get it right I don't think they can." Simple stuff. They had a better team. If they played their best it didn't matter how well we played.

This year I don't think anyone has a better team than we do (though there's quite a few that are as good). The comp is wide open.

We just need nicknames and sunglasses.

Foran having come and f**ked off so quickly is probably the key most pivotal moment in the clubs history in the NRL era. Signing Foran and then I think Jennings set off some alarm bells at the NRL that something wasn't legit. If Foran had stayed for 5 years we'd be where the Tigpies are now.

I'm shocked anyone would have any personal gripes towards Foran. He didn't leave because of anything with the club, it was his own issues.

I think women arent as driven by sex. They are driven by attention and validation and how the feeling of emotional chnages.

They would prefer to have 100 likes on their insta photo than have sex

Some women are , some aren't, it's not quite so pronounced as it is with young men, but it most certainly is a thing.

The Sydney Roosters have granted Matt Lodge permission to leave the club immediately after the prop forward’s management requested a release from the final year of his deal.
The Roosters left Lodge out of their NRL team last week, and he is no longer part of their plans this season.
The club turned down two requests in the past month for Lodge to leave immediately, however a Roosters official confirmed to this masthead the club has had a change of heart.
The club is privately disappointed with Lodge’s performances and attitude since he was informed his contract wouldn’t be renewed, which allowed the club to re-sign veteran prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves for another season.

The Roosters haven’t got the money for another middle forward, given they will welcome premiership-winning Panthers forward Spencer Leniu in 2024.
Lodge’s management last week again asked the club for a release, the third request in a month. This time, the club agreed to part ways with the front-rower.

It’s unclear whether a deal has been done at a rival club. Lodge is on a contract worth about $300,000 at the Roosters this season, and is still attending training despite the fact he is unlikely to play for the Tricolours again.
Financially, Lodge’s release will have little impact on the Roosters’ salary cap position, but they have no objections to the former Broncos forward leaving immediately.

The club had been impressed with Lodge since he joined the club, but things began to sour when it became clear the Roosters would prioritise the retention of Waerea-Hargreaves over him.
News Corp last week reported Lodge recently met Bulldogs coach Cameron Ciraldo about the prospect of heading to Belmore but no deal was guaranteed.
Lodge addressed his future earlier this month but gave no indication as to where he would end up.
“I think I’ll be heading on at this point,” Lodge said.


“I’m just happy to play my role ... whether it ends here, at the end of the year or if it’s longer. I’ve enjoyed my time here and I am enjoying my time here, so it’s good.
“I’m on a reduced [deal] but I can’t do that forever. I was probably under the assumption that I was going to stay longer when I did that, and we did speak about that, but the situation changed.”

If any club decides to sign Matt Lodge now they are as dumb as dog shit.

How many clubs have punted him now. Tigers, Storm, Broncos, Warriors & Roosters because he has spat the dummy.

Probably had more clubs now then prison meals at Rikers Island Jail in the Bronx.

2 of the most resourceful and successful clubs in the game Brisbane & Roosters have had him and gone backwards after he joined them.

By the time things soured they couldn't get rid of him quick enough.

The bloke is clearly trouble and we can thank the NRL for not letting us sign him last year. We dodged a massive bullet.

That's not including the shit he did to get arrested in the first place.

So these kinds of things happen, don't be so judgemental, it's not like anyone was harmed there in any real way.
Actually promiscuity is known to carry mental and physical health risks, so these two were self-harming. It should be discouraged and the best way to do that is by shaming them.

As I stated risk assessment is generally poor in young folk, but yeah, you can get a nasty rash.

, so these two were self-harming.

Only if the risk of harm is realized, are you aware of their rash status?

It should be discouraged

You can get a cream for that.

and the best way to do that is by shaming them.

Most rashes can easily be covered by clothing, but seriously, this point leads back to point one, and increases the risk of harm to mental health, remove the stigma, remove that harm.

So in other words, your cure here becomes the cause.
