I seem to recall having exactly this conversation 12 months ago about how we had too many halves and where were they all going to play. Turns out the answer was "Souths and the Bulldogs".

I'll have a go at this too. I don't give a toss about Wests or Balmain. I am, and have always been, a Wests Tigers fan, therefore there is nothing to "differentiate". I don't like HBG because they have demonstrated over and over and over again that they couldn't run an egg and spoon race let...

They probably assume they can just slander him to the NRL integrity unit to weasel their way out of a payout as and when they decide to get rid of him. They're incompetent, immoral scum and I will never trust that anything they do is in the interests of anything but their own pathetic egos.

Well that's it, I'm officially done. I have just sent my email to the club asking for my membership, and that of my son, to be cancelled. I've put up with a lot over the past 15 years and I've poured money into the club: merchandise, attending games, travelling interstate and internationally. I...

They're out of their depth, pure and simple. They're not very intelligent or experienced people with a an unhealthy dose of Dunning Kruger syndrome.

Can someone repost the contact email for the clowns? I'm emailing the club to cancel my membership and want to make sure to CC them.

Yes I'm aware of that. But while we're just reciting cliches I'll add: every man has his price.

It's entirely possible. If you look at how PVL runs the comp, it becomes pretty clear that his main priority is keeping the broadcasters and the first grade clubs happy. If the broadcasters are happy, the money keeps rolling, which funds the annual grant to franchise owners, which means they...

V'Landys doesn't give a monkeys. He's shown on multiple occasions that provided the clubs aren't complaining, the broadcast money keeps rolling and the inner circle of cronies have their snouts in the trough he's not exactly pushing a reform agenda. If mugs like us are prepared to keep throwing...

Thought everyone could do with some light relief. Spotted yesterday in Perth.

No, it's really not irrelevant. This club needs to start producing junior talent in waves. It is never, ever going to become competitive by signing first grade players in free agency: that just burns up cap space and creates unbalanced rosters with a few stars and a bunch of dross. We need to be...

Except there's a salary cap, which means how much you give individual players directly influences the ability to get the best team on the field. And some of us aren't stupid so want to know how that's all being balanced. I mean, we could probably get Payne Haas if we offered him five million...

Back row forwards who start as forwards (ie excluding people like Luke Lewis and Wade Graham who initially play in the backs) often get started or start making an impact a bit later. Liam Martin didn't debut till he was 22. Briton Nikora was 21. Viliame Kikau was 21 (and about a fortnight away...

Saying we're relying on luck is more an observation of the state of the market than a strategy, to be fair. What he's saying is, basically, there isn't anyone who is or is obviously likely to be on the market who they think is a difference maker - which seems fair to me. Personally I think it's...

I'm not making any comment on anyone's effort or character. What I'm saying is every time we sign "the experienced pack leader we need" they turn out to be one or more of past it, crocked or not interested. I can't see any reason to imagine Asofa-Solomona would be any different.
