You’re getting a lot of captains coming, though we have had 5 in the past?
This boys modest but no less effective as a captain. You’ll remember he was my first pick. We dont know Stefano yet and who knew he was part of the leadership group. Or captained was it a trial game. Maybe only I didn’t know or did but didn’t take notice.

Dragons to ‘cut ties’ with Griffin immediately as Bellamy call opens door for Ryles​


The first coach to go, always a bit sad, but I guess our bloke is safe, but I don't know why?

I can tell you why. Tim said before that the plan is, he coaches for two years and then Benji takes over as head coach. It's all going according to plan and like The Joker said in The Dark Knight, "Nobody panics when things go according to plan, even if the plan is horrifying!"

Penrith’s Jarome Luai escapes suspension for push on match official​


How times have changed, I still remember Blocker having to miss a GF for patting a referee on the head:(
Blocker missed a GF for putting Chris Mortimer to sleep in a knockout/playoff game for 5th spot in ‘88.I was at the game at Parra stadium.Blocker was suspended for the 4 finals games which included the GF.

I was there as well...we had a late season run and beat the bears to get a shot at that midweek playoff then a few days later beat Manly ( think) then the Raiders before losing to Terry Lamb's forearm to Ellery Hanley's head in the GF. Going back another 19 years I was also at the SCG when Artie Beetson was also suspended for the '69 finals series for belting Ron Coote in the semi...Barry Mctaggart and Gary Leo were the frontrowers ...I think Mctaggart filled in for Artie...from memory just like with Blocker the Tigers either sent or tried to send Artie round trip to England to serve at least one game but it was also knocked on the head

After knocking out the raiders plus manly in semis we knocked out Cronulla in prelim final to then qualify for the GF.Had blocker played I’ve no doubt we would’ve won.

With the dogs winning today, they have jumped ahead of us, both them and the cows are 2 pts ahead, but there F/A is terrible, so was ours till last night, but the dragons have replaced us on the bottom, but only just, so a small win this weekend.
