His manager is Mario Tartak.

Phone number?

Surely no player has ever been suspended for accidentally running into the ref? This has to be a first, yes?

Dylan brown copped a ban last week for it
Same ref too

Luai ran into a different ref and he laughed abt it

How do you know?

Team list released 1 hour prior to kick off

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

So we really think the board tell us to have slow wingers, slow centres, slow back rowers, release players and don’t replace them, have terrible depth, make ridiculous bench interchange selections and make ridiculous use of the interchange ?
Regardless of what is said, I’m sure our board would like us to win a few more games and not run last every season.

The board only thinks about their pockets.

Young Roosters fullback Mikey Nassar has joined the Bulldogs. Nassar was forced out after Roosters chairman Nick Politis refused to deal with his agent, Isaac Moses.

And some money. Sad story. Keep em coming. At least TDS went out with some respect.

There's a lesson to be learnt, if you are going to put a hit on the ref, make sure it is a good one because you'll cop a week.

Learnt that in kindergarten football. Just one step deeper. Don't touch the ref. How times have changed.

If our middles dominated the field more, the likes of KPP & Fifita could pile on those big hits as well.

Our issue tends to stem from constantly being in retreat.

Because we run 5 hit ups off the dummy half .. every set , and we do nothing to move the defence around or put them in doubt. Last night was absolutely atrocious , perhaps the dumbest football I have ever seen from this club ( which is really saying something) .. for a professional footy team to have no variety of ball movement at all something is very wrong.. even St George tonight manage to move 1 or 2 passes from the ruck and pick up an inside runner or run a second man play .. .. Beni absolutely has to lift the ball work standard if we are ever to improve .. seriously every single settle runner is a deadset target to get whacked because they are running from a standing start at a set defence that is moving up at them at speed .. I cannot fathom that Benji kept at it for that whole game.. made no adjustments at all.. none !

The Roosters have pounced on discarded Dolphins winger Junior Tupou.

It’s understood the signing is effective immediately.

I wonder how much the fins are paying?

 

[Buttface]

That'll do me, have to stop running to try and stop someone scoring cause you might bump into the ref, the N.R.Ls cooked. Absolutly stupid.

Is that what he’s suspended for?

 

[old_man_tiger]

Always said Toa has the attributes we need and we should stick with him. However last night worried me big time. He was back to his lazy self and it comes off rumours he has resigned. If he extends his contract then drops back to the lazy stuff he was doing the past 2 years then that will be shockingly disapointing

I said it half jokingly last night but it is a little scary

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Martin can’t even beat out Harris- Tavita who is bollocks

Poor Luke Metcalf may have done his ACL again. If so, they may want to extend TMM.

 

[watersider]

You lost me at Madge didn’t get a shot.
WE WERE WORSE EVERY YEAR for nearly four years.

I personally felt Madge needed the next season, when he finally had cap to recruit and got API and papalii to the club. Prior to that he was hamstrung by dud Cleary purchases. But my point wasn't so much that Madge shouldn't have been sacked but that I felt at the time there were significant issues against his success. I just don't see that with Benji and his two years here, where he's had liberty to recruit and has an improved roster.

I’d say they will now.

The kid Savelio Tamale @ the raiders dates one of our young NRLW players.

Maybe we can bring them closer together and sign him up?

that’s been our strategy of keeping Bula & Fonua, their wives playing in our nrlw team 🤣

Richo is the captain of our ship on his 1 million dollars per season wage.
Remember 2 months ago he promised he would deliver us 3 or 4 signings within a month and since that time our only signing has been KPP, so he’s fallen 2-3 short of his promise.

He said there would be several signings. He also said external or otherwise.

Since then the club has signed Pearce-Paul, signed Taylan May on a train and trial and extended Mason by 12 months.

I think that quote has reached its conclusion.

Recently re-signed I think.
