My first 11 working years were spent working in a public library. To this day I regret how eager I was to get out of that world & into something else for 'more money'. I was a haphazard reader as a kid until I found Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. Then my world changed.

I'm sure Bellingham will get the accolades, but Pickford won that game for England. At least 2 clear chances that had every right to be scored. IMO, the final will be Mbappe v Haaland

It won't be what is read out but I'd probably go.. 1. Bula 2. Turuva 3. To'a 4. Makasini 5. Skelton 6. Luai 7. Doueihi 13. Twal 12. Roberts 11. Sukkar 10. Afoa 9. Lanyon 8. May 14. Hayward 15. Sione Fainu 16. Seyfarth 17. Pole 18. Latu Fainu 19. Mason

Also, what's the difference between the 'consolidated' amount & the 'parent' amount?

Well, it matters in the context of people's concerns on the amount of money available for coaches. $1.5m on "football department expenses" vs $40,460,497 on "Employee Benefits Expense". I'm going to assume that the CEO etc fall under the $40m. I could be wrong. But, if it does cover the wages...

Just a question regarding coaching wages. A few people are asking if Wests Tigers pay enough for coaches etc. I'm not sure- but would the coaches be employed as Staff under this report or under the $1.5 given to the football club?

I've got bets on Australia, Mexico & Norway to get up in the next few days.

"Congrats to Shawn, seems like a really positive step forward & hopefully settles a few of the fan concerns from earlier in the year". That would have been an appropriate type of response I'd have thought. But....we can't just have nice things here. No, it's all about unfounded reports of other...

Lol. 6 posts before it became about HBG. Despite the words coming out of his mouth... “I’m proud of the fact that this isn’t as much about me, but it’s about confidence in the Club and the direction we’re going, particularly the executive team who has been a driving force in our rise over the...

Just found this thread... Baldurs Gate 3 has occupied way too much of my time these last couple of years & Football Manager, regardless of the year, has sucked in a lot of my living hours too.

Conveniently forgetting Averillo's signing to replace To'a

That feels true. Probably shows the development of the team/club in the best fashion.

Interesting ladder when you look into it. Storm & Broncos are definitely feeling it. In reverse, what does that say for Canberra? The Titans? No excuses there.

Not sure what your point really is meant to be. But to clarify, my opinion is that we have good depth in the backline next season. His was that I was wrong. I stated I wasn't surprised. Then you asked if he was wrong. All I said was that it doesn't matter if I think he's right or wrong. But if...

I said something similar the other day- I'll be more interested in the reaction once he scores a try or makes 200m in a game. Any way the wind blows..
