I don't get hurt from my lounge chair mate.
If there is one thing I like about you baggers is your commitment in calling the clowns out.... that's ok, good on you.
I'm merely saying that at my age I look forward to all the theatre of what will happen over the oreseason.
Last year it was all about Stefano...will he extend?
I'm getting too old to stress to much about WT incompetent behaviour.
Sure I've made negative posts especially Pascoe at the height of his incompetence but I have to move on and find something positive. As I said I'm talking purely about me and not you. It's all about me 😎

Have we signed anyone today?

RUBBISH!!
Who hired the guys you mentioned....

They just turned up with their tools and said " This is what we'd like to do here" did they?

It’s been quoted, I’m sure there is even an interview regarding it.
The panthers made the ambitious decision to be the best nrl club in a decades time. Gus said to Matt Cameron in 2012 if we were to achieve this what do we need, you have a blank canvas to create this. The academy was built and the elite pathways was established.
This was a decade ago. I’m pleased to hear our club has finally caught on a decade later.

Love Rodney and Kevin bloody Wilson. Will be sad to see them retire, both very talented and I don't think there will be anyone that will come close to even replicating them.

Fun fact: my dad is from Sydney (now in Perth) and when I was a kid he used to tell stories of his childhood in Lidcombe/Berala (?) and very often they would be about crazy stuff this kid Dennis Bryant did.

Anyway, one night he comes home from work and asks me and my sister if we've ever heard of Kevin Bloody Wilson. This would've been the late 80s. Of course we had!
He says to us "that's Dennis Bryant!".

So he is an old western suburbs kid. Not from Kalgoorlie originally.

Anyway, parents used to get Christmas cards from him and once they went to his house and we went to pick them up. Really nice guy, used to have a very nice 3 story house on West Coast Drive.

Will never forget a Rodney Rude appearance on the Don Lane Show. Seemed Don didn't know a lot about Rodney. Rod appeared wearing a foam rubber hat of an erotic design which he proceeded to wobble back and forth while talking to Don. I thought Lane was going to have a heart attack.

For a bit of fun read the 33 replies, Supporters are as in the dark as we are about signings but just won premierships in 4 grades with the “best pathways” in the league.
Why would we let Simpkin go if we’ve already offloaded Liddle and possibly Nu Brown, unless Simpkin is saying I don’t want to be the regular Reggie’s hooker and Sheens can see some leverage in it?
But surely we need some insurance to cover for API. Doesn’t make sense to me.

Simpkin is 20 years old. Frankly, at a better club he'd be getting minimal game time if any. He needs more time to develop. Even Harry Grant came to us at 22 and had much bigger wraps on him than Simpkin.

I don't see anything in Simpkin that would suggest he'll be anything other than a solid first grader if that.

Rua Ngatikaura looks a better prospect in my humble opinion. We might get a chance to see him play in the World Cup for Cook Islands.
