So we take our game v Manly from Leichardt to Brisbane, play Parra at their home game and play Penrith at Parra's ground. I thought to play in the semis would be preferable to the extra cash.

Since Magic Round started in 2019, the Tigers have taken their home game to Brisbane 6 times, NZ 7 times, Easts 6 times. Brisbane have given up 1 home game, St George none, Newcastle 1 , Nth Qld none. I looked at home games in 2025 and 2024 and unless I have made a mistake, we had 11 home games...

Full game is on the NRL website

Brisbane won the GF because the referees favoured them 3 games in a row. Hudson Young whispered sweet nothings in Walsh's ear, cops a headbutt for his troubles, the penalty goes to Brisbane and Hudson young gets 10 minutes as well. Walsh should of been sent-off. Hosking barely touched Walsh and...

Similar rubbish penalty as in the game against the Warriors, Latu made a tackle below the legs, the guy flipped up and landed on his back. We were smashing them on their line, I think it was going to be 5th tackle and they were 20 metres out. Got a penalty, they marched up field and i think they...

I love Seyfarth, 46 tackles with 2 misses. Tries his heart out every week, outstanding defence on the try line. Every team needs someone like Seyfarth.

The thing I cannot forgive here is that Galvin could possibly derail our season. For a 19 year old to bag the first grade coach (the only one he has had) and saying he needs to move clubs for him to develop, whilst he is playing outside Api and Jarome (both premiership winners) is just...

I have watched the Tigers for more than 50 years, Taylor is hands down the worst coach I have ever seen coach us. Played Rankin ahead of Josh Aldo Carr (and then let him leave), sidelined Brooks and Farah, game plan was to give it to Moses. Remember the comment ' too many cooks can spoil the...

Sheens was sacked after 1 year after he signed a 5 year contract if my memory is correct. The side finished 10th after a terrible run of injuries, he sued to recover the money he was owed. The club didn't want to pay him out. Previous 2 years we finished 3rd and 4th. Farah and Marshall are the...

This was on FoxSports, don't know how accurate it is. In 2022 they have got Tedesco on $1.1m, Luke Keary on $850,000, Joseph Manu ($720k), Jared Waerea-Hargreaves ($700k), Angus Crichton ($700k), Sio Siua Taukeiaho ($625k) and Victor Radley ($510k) for a total of $5,205,000. “The cap in 2021 is...

This was the worst decision I have ever seen in my 50 years of watching Rugby League. It was almost like Klein decided to give the 2 points to NQ, particularly after the Mamaumalo sin binning and the retention of NQ captain's call. The other really bad decision that comes to mind was Tigers v...

We always seem to get the rough calls. Brisbane seem to get most of the 50/50's, they have had some very questionable refereeing decisions go to them for almost the whole year. If we had had the right call when Brooks kicked his field goal, penalty to us for offside at the ruck when we played...

I think a lot of people here have short memories. Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't we sign Sheens to a 3 or 5 (?) year contract and then sack him with 2 years remaining, and then try not to pay him compensation? How many players have we forced out who had valid contracts? Having said that, I...

Bring back Taylor and get rid of Farah. ;-} Seriously, what a great game he had, we look so much better with him directing the team around the park. The only positive to come out of the whole sorry Taylor/Farah clash is that he is much cheaper! And can someone tell me why Graham wasn't penalised...

Watched the last 60 minutes on TV, thought it was appalling refereeing. Hardly penalised Bulldogs for off-side, we copped 5 or 6, some very marginal. Their holding down seemed to go unpunished whilst we got pinned. And when we made the break near the end (when Marsters missed the penalty), why...
