Their win rate since 2019 says otherwise. Now we had a season where we ‘only’ won half our games and suddenly everyone is shit. You must be a f**ken winner with your high standards.

Who cares about win rate.... we haven't won anything. It is completely fair for people to come onto this forum and air their grievances with the team, its coach and all related activities.

And you must be a huge loser... 83 thousand posts white knighting for a organisation that hasn't done anything since the mid 80s. You must be one twisted individual....

paywalled so I don't know who it is


It is understood the Federal government is prepared to bankroll a $600m expansion package — $60m injected annually for at least 10 years for sporting and economic development in PNG via the NRL's overseas push into the Pacific. “We are absolutely expanding the competition to 18 teams,” V'landys said.

Dylan must have done nothing he is copping it from last night's performance I didn't see it was watching the Cricket.




$1M MAN GOES MIA

When a player puts his hand up to take the big bucks, it comes with the responsibility of also delivering in the big moments of the big matches.

And this is where Dylan Brown’s performance in the Kiwis’ loss to the Kangaroos again didn’t justify the 23-year-old being paid around $1m-a-season on his bumper new deal at Parramatta.

In fact, you wouldn’t have blamed Michael Maguire for sending out a search party in Melbourne given Brown’s lack of impact, when finishing with nine runs for 77m but only one tackle bust, no linebreaks, no linebreak assists or try assists.

In comparison, while halves partner Jahrome Hughes also didn’t have his best night, he was certainly a lot more involved than Brown.

This comes after a season where Brown also let the Eels down badly on the back of his signing his new deal, after he copped a seven-match suspension for that ugly nightclub incident that ultimately had a huge impact on last year’s grand finalists completely missing the finals.

Everyone knows at his best Brown is a hell of a footballer, and can be dynamite when he injects himself at any level given the strength of his running game.

But he needs to start realising the positives and negatives his individual performances have on any team he’s playing in.

There’s no doubt the Kiwis are really missing a strike dummy half with Brandon Smith out of the end-of-season Tests as he recovers from hand surgery complications.

And while veteran Kieran Foran is doing his best in an unconventional role, he needs his halves to take control.

If the Kiwis are going to strike back next week they need Brown at his best, which will also take some of the pressure off Hughes.

Not sure who wrote that but I am guessing they have an agenda... Far worse players last night

The didn't compare the halves stats at all and don't know what the game plan was.
