For mine, you can't begrudge Jarome for the move with the big bucks on offer. He's also leaving us in a decent position to firm up the roster from 2027. All up, three years from a marquee player after wooden spoons and plenty of time to plan the roster is a pretty good outcome.

I'm not a footy coach and never will be, but why would you drop the bloke back to reserves? To work on a few unlucky mistakes? He has had his fair share of embarrassing moments so far, but also his fair share of good things that don't stick in your memory quite so much. For mine, the odd...

Great point. I wonder how many of the cookers who are into renewable energy conspiracy theories have ever had anything to do with coal power plants? My old man worked at Bayswater power plant for a while. Basically non-stop repairs and a toxic wasteland of ash, mercury, arsenic and goodness...

Surprising ask from the club. I remember going to the record 20k+ game against the Cowboys in 2005 and recall nearly everyone seated on the northern hill.

Doueihi nearly topping the try assists table, but move him to centre? 😕 For mine, there's no way that Jock or Latu are even mentioned in the same breath and Luai or AD as an option.

The club definitely seems to have turned a corner. A lot of good foundational work was done post-Covid to rebuild our development programs and infrastructure. Reminds me a bit of Penrith who went through some very difficult years and turmoil while getting things sorted.

The boys will be going into this one full of confidence.

How many other teams are now looking for 6'3 halfbacks?

Latu not named for the Magpies.....

Fair dinkum, emotions on this forum swing more than the price of Bitcoin..... The guys did great to get back in the game and dominate for most of it. For mine, Souths were a bit lucky to get two easy tries early on and a few individual defensive efforts that you don't see week in, week out.

Fair dinkum, some of these comments..... The kid has a massive ticker, scored twice and did plenty of good stuff.

What a great bit of news. He had some blinders last year. Hope he kicks on this year.

The report isn't public, but the media statements from the club said one of the governance recommendations was to appoint four independent directors and a rep each from Holman Barnes, Wests Magpies and Balmain Tigers which might help reduce factional fighting. There were a bunch of other...

I’m just asking where the review actually says that.

But where did the review explicitly conclude HBG were unfit to govern?
