As long as you stick to commenting on football, about which you have some idea, and not vaccines, about which you have zero idea, we'll all be fine.

woke isn't a real word any more, please stop using it

You can be entitled to your beliefs and also be a bigot. Not illegal to be a bigot. Defined as "utterly intolerant of those who possess different beliefs, backgrounds, or ways of life". It's one thing he doesn't like homosexuality, it's another thing again to go around posting on social media...

He's probably thinking that Luke L is going to the Bears next year and Maka has signed on long-term, so you have to get the kid experienced.

In fairness I don't even think the main media tried to make this a Tigers thing, only twitter and social media started pushing the narrative that Tigers were interested.

6 of the 9 worst NRL era losses have occurred since 2021 - Tigers responsible for 4 of them. It's like the worst teams are getting worse.

I reckon most clubs except Cowboys and perhaps Sharks think they are a good change of beating the Tigers in any given round. Pretty worrysome.

Commbank is also rather convenient for Penrith fans, not just the reduced travel distance, but they've become used to it as their temporary home. Really should be playing Panthers and Eels somewhere else.

One of the newspapers put up the worst losses of all time, I think Tigers had 3 in the Top 9 and all of them in the past 4 seasons. 74-0 is the current record and made all the worse by the fact that we beat them 66-18 just SIX rounds earlier.

The game has to go back to a tougher grittier contest if it wants the teams to even out. This high-octane possession style is putting so much distance between the best teams and the middle, let alone the worst teams.

Agree 100%. Almost worse to start a season so promisingly, especially on the back of defence, then get smashed 4/5 weeks. At least, if it's going to be another disappointing season, please let me come to terms with that in the first few rounds, not drop the bundle mid-season. I was...
