The players who were off Benji were the senior players who themselves had rank attitudes. Bateman, Klemmer, who else I don't remember as I've wiped that era from my memory. We brought those guys here to improve standards then they turned out to be a problem themselves.

Drinky is basically the pre-Benji Doueihi of fullbacks. Defence is optional and sometimes you just pretend to defend. Absolute weapon with ball in hand but my god his defensive efforts would drive me mad if he played on our team.

Ryan Matterson is a bizarre man. Seems to be driven solely by money and doesn't think in any other terms. Parra don't want to play him, he's offered a career lifeline at the best development club in rugby league and he says no? Wtf. Basically he's said, "I don't have to work for my money here. I...

Confirmed, won't be back in the NRL until 2028. Two years out of the game. Serves him right.

No to Tyrone please. Shades of Benji having a handshake deal with the former CEO and then getting the shits when the new CEO didn't offer him a 4 year deal.

Points for a bye confuses the regular fan. Last year I had to explain to one of my friends so many times why his team was actually well-placed for finals despite sitting lower on the ladder than a few other teams who had one or two more byes.

100% this is the only fair way to go about things. You shouldn't get 0 points for a golden point loss, doesn't seem fair.

I like PVL. He's done a lot of stupid things I disagree with, but he has also provided a lot of good ideas and rallied hard to turn them into reality. Last year was one of the best years of footy I can remember. He comes at the game from the perspective of what a fan would like to see. A lot of...

A lot of people misunderstand KPP. He is not a strike weapon or try scoring machine. He is a work horse who makes lots of tackles and you can run structures around him. He does have a great offload which was underutilised at Newcastle but that's about it for higher ceiling to unlock. He will be...

And for unnecessary context, Melbourne Storm were $1M over a $4M salary cap, the dirty cheats.

Not while Laurie is in charge. Would sooner bring Mitchell Pearce out of retirement than make a sensible selection.

Melbourne turned Dane Nielsen into an origin player, and after he left Melbourne he was an actual meme player 💩 tier. They could probably make Alex Seyfarth an origin player, it's just what they do.

I don't think Pole will play his best football with us. Wherever he goes next (probably Melbourne) he'll become a great player. His heart just doesn't seem to be in it sometimes. Has Dale Finucane vibes about him.
