I think that’s taken out of context. He said that in round 6 or whatever when, madden and AD were carving it up and he offered to come back from injury from the bench or reserve grade. I think some commentators have just used those quotes again now. In one of those “technically correct...

It’s clear as day Benji always wants to promote youth and gives little substance to players because they have been there - done that.. A few years ago Bateman was annoyed because he felt Benji didn’t respect the senior players. Last year a few got thier noses out of joint because he supported...

He was given a week suspension with an early plea when tigers named the side. He later chose to fight it. Why would you name the team expecting him to get off. Just because one team did it for fadita does it mean that the tigers need to follow suit? Is this a rule? Can different teams and...

Did he get dropped? If anything he was told that Javon was making a debut and he wanted AD to play out of posistion to help facilitate this. Perhaps if he was a true leader he would have encouraged and helped his team mates rather than put all this extra attention on him. Maybe this is what the...

Why do you expect a guy who is suspended to be named in the team? Why can’t Benji after watching a side train all week make a decision to take that same team into a game? Why does Benji need to speak to any of the players regarding where they play? Should he ask Turuva if he is ok shifting to...

I’d imagine that conversation wouldn’t of happened at all beforehand. Benji, knowing that AD was charged and out for one week, or up to three if he challenged placed AD on the extended bench in case and named a team on Tuesday with the available players. Tuesday - Thursday AD and the lawyers...

It was expected that AD would be out due to suspension. He was named at 22 whilst he fought the charge at the judiciary. He was cleared and expected to be slotted into the 7. Benji had already named Javon in the 7 and he trained there all week. Benji obviously wanted to give him debut, so told...

So many ex tigers in that list… (ex for a reason!)

I’m not so sure, I don’t think Cadia mine in orange are stressing about what Newcrest are paying there guys moresby. Clubs will know that they won’t compete on dollars but you can say, live right on the beach at the GC, be relatively unknown in Melbourne. Live amoungst the pollies in Canberra...

I’ll take your word for it about bouginville - i haven’t kept up to date on it. But the point remains that you could be a social worker or an electrician and go to these areas on more coin. Only a fraction of the people that go stay, even with the lure of more money, better compounds and...

I think the bigger bet would be, how many leave before there contract expires or re-signs.

What happened to the toads vs cockroaches? Why don’t we use those mascots anymore, are the still known by them, or were they ever? Was it just an advertising campaign or was it lost during the super league wars? No google or AI allowed….

Yes the figures are real, but these opportunities are available for everyone in most industries and most people don’t take them up. You can work for the mines in Boganville earning far more than they pay in regional Australia. You could have been a government “process immigration officer” in...

I’d take Tui on slightly more than minimum… https://apple.news/AJoUYPiTWS7qdv6rGek_Exg

It really, it would be your own contract. If you paid him a 10 year 3rd party deal you could always have a clause saying our company strategy needs it to be a tigers player so if you leave this third party agreement ends. Which would be a credible clause if it was say a business that primarily...
