Cant use the name Donald Tr_ump without having some political bullshit attached?

Andrew Fafita was like that with us, then he went to Sharks who coached differently and won a GF. Other clubs, particularly Storm and Roosters have players' team cohesive or they're out the door. Trouble is, how do we get a coach who cares about players like a Wayne Bennet and negotiates like...

The hardest race to pick a winner, so difficult is it that Victorians need to have a day off work to study the form guide. I’ve scanned through the form for about 7 minutes and come up with “Half Yours” despite the barrier. Good luck.

Do you think there’s any chance it could hit the HBG boardroom? 😂

I like to get their opinion too, particularly given their game experience, but occasionally I will have an opinion of my own 😂 and I don’t see anything wrong with that. I’m also mindful that these commentators have redirected their loyalty to promoting the NRL and with that, they look for club...

I agree with you in some measure, its far easier to comment on a past event than it is to predict a future event. However, for those deeply involved in the game there’s not a lot of difference between making predictions and doing things which contribute to that outcome. We predicted Brooks...

Are these the same professional explayers who told us that Storm would win the GF?

I have posted previously that Luke Brooks would have been far better value.

We’re still short of a back fence middle. Wouldn’t do any harm to see what Matt Lodge’s plans are for 2026?

Sorry mate, I meant Limestone Coast, momentarily confused. I know people at both locations. I’ll contact them direct.

Maybe? Benji’s family first policy has been the cornerstone of success at Storm and Panthers and it can’t be developed overnight.

Great wine, had a few drops of the Martin’s Shiraz during covid lock down. They were affordable in a mixed dozen from a distributor in SA, but out of my price range now that the distributor has gone quiet, and particularly since they’ve won those awards. Congratulations to them. They’re in the...

Yes Vicious, what exactly is he talking about? Has he not seen the club’s family first policy in action? Or was it a ruse to attract Samoans? Why is it necessary for the captain to call out the club on this particular behavioural policy?

I wish that was he case. My understanding is the Chair of Holman Barnes Group, Dennis Burgess, is also sitting on the Wests Magpies Board and he Wests Tigers Board. This kind of makes him hard to ignore, particularly while he’s handing out lengthy suspensions to board members and singing all the...

You’re right about that. There was a noticeable difference in his form in rep games. To be fair though, we haven’t exactly behaved like a destination club, so signing quality players comes with a loading, as well as get out clauses. If we’re honest with ourselves, when we were told Luai signed...
