There's some horrible examples of Wests debutants who made it big at other clubs, esp. in the 80s. Garry Jack debuted for Wests, so did Terry Lamb, Scott Gale, Mick Neil. A fair few actually in the early 80s defected to Balmain. Jason Taylor had a decent stint at Wests before Norths. Jamie...

Actually you said "Nobody associates the Magpies with white". I associate the Maggies with white. I have very strong memories of Andrew Leeds running about in white jerseys and took me 5 seconds on google to pull one up. In fact google image search "Andrew Leeds Magpies" and it's at least 50%...

I've always been partial to sheets tied together to make a big rope.

All that agitation and nonsense to get himself out of his Dragons contract, to play 1 year with Parra Snakes, play Origin, then dump them as well. Mercenary of the highest order. If I didn't hate Parramatta I'd feel sorry for them, but I do... and I don't.

Oops

I wonder if the next bloke after Richo will say the same thing. I think all the CEOs lie for convenience.

Steeden sizing was way off - always too tight under the arms. Happy for a new supplier. It will be someone smaller unless NSWRL can replicate their Adidas deal.

Oh sure, the old "most gruelling pre-season yet".

Ah well I can tell you what it means - it means nothing. It's a meme, it's just something all the kids say and they don't really care about the origin of it. The origin is a 2024 rap song that was quoted in some online videos, then it became a popular reference with NBA players (who of course...

I asked for it months ago, LETS GO

Hey man I only just found out what "sigmas" and "six-seven" is, don't ask me to learn more youth slang.

I just like the part where Bulldogs fans think it's a good idea to build their "premiership-winning" team with a bunch of Tigers debutants. There seems to be some kind of narrative with fans of other clubs that Tigers have lots of good players, who would do better if they simply were at better...

It's a good side that Warriors reggies.

Learns the hard way not to give any ammunition to your opponent, a la Mundine. I didn't think a lot of it after Stefano's interview, but obviously the Broncos players were still thinking about it after the game, and no doubt the big hit by Piakura on Stefano to dislodge the ball was a big fire-up.

That's great footage; I recall the "official" match footage doesn't have the shot so clear (the camera switches) and I don't recall ever seeing the cheap shot so obviously. I don't recall replays at or after the actual match - Tigers made a line break and during those camera changes you can see...
