I'm not surprised, and I believe that a PNG side will be a valuable asset for the NRL at some point in the future. However, I also believe that the decision to use taxpayer doillars for this side was made by a poor leader with very little understanding of geopolitics. A second Kiwi side would...

PNG ranks #2 globally in crime and murder as of 2025, ahead of South Africa, Afghanistan, and Brazil. Players and their families would be housed in compounds or gated communities, which I cannot see as a healthy environment for mothers and their children. This was a political payoff influenced...

Only allowing the opposition 18 points or under. The rest will sort itself out.

Pressure makes diamonds

I don't know why, but I have the feels. Patty is going to be special for us this year.

For those who grew up in inner-city Sydney, you might remember the Priest and the Publican. Back in the 1980s, a bit of classic Aussie pub banter spilled onto one of Sydney’s busiest roads. Rev. Robert Forsyth, the Anglican minister at St Barnabas’, and Arthur Elliott, owner of the Broadway...

What I like about Jock is that he’s structured and methodical with his kicking game. He focuses on winning metres and field position, while Adam focuses on creating pressure and forcing mistakes. I prefer the slow and steady Jock style. Adam at 13 for mine.

My bad, thanks for the correction and deeper dive into our history

Great tradition. Wests and Balmain have only one that cup once since its inception. Hopefully Wests Tigers continue the tradition.

I'm with you, so I'll say Adam didn't have his best game. Jock in limited minutes, and from me watching on the hill, he had a much better kicking and directing game in my opinion.

Titans and Souths are out. Fingers and toes crossed!

I hope Bulla stays, however the biggest block is his manager. Unfortunately Adam struggled last night, probably tried too hard to impress, especially with his kicking game. Jock was far better last week.

We're in a good position to win the preseason challenge - Parramatta Eels15130Must win with all 3 bonus points AND maintain a higher PD (currently +34). Canberra Raiders15130Must win with all 3 bonus points AND improve PD (currently +26) to > +30.

The atmosphere on the hill was electric last night. Big Mak is a once in a generation player, I hope we sign him up with a long term contract. If we can get the 1% right, consistently throughout the season, we'll be playing in September.

To some extent, yes. I also believe that the NRL needs a new story line that captures a new audience. Why not the Tigers making the 8?
