The forward pack I've just watched the Broncos run a conga line through in the first twenty at Brisbane?

I just don't see the comparisons with the Bulldogs. Speaking purely as an outsider who has no skin in the game (although I've always preferred ... well ... Balmain to the Bulldogs of the day) - the Bulldogs are like Manchester United whilst the Tigers are Everton. One club has a history of...

Money talks to players who aren't all that fussed about winning. But if you are ... say ... Jack Welsby, who was won at every level he has competed at (U16, Academy, Academy Rep vs Australia, St. Helens, England etc.) what's the hook? If Bennett picks up the phone (which he certainly will given...

The problem for the Tigers is things are going to get a hell of a lot worse before they get better as they transition out of their current playmakers. Do experienced vets want to be part of that kind of instability? Maybe they won't care if they're taking huge wages. But that isn't a good...

If you are looking for an experienced half who can play at a high level - Williams is your man. Don't see any issues with his attitude. Most of his (and Bateman's) problems started and finished with Sticky who for a supposedly elite level coach has some horrible traits (briefing against his...

$750,000 for Pearce is flat out insanity. He aint playing anywhere near that level in SL - this year or last. Tigers owners are bamboozling the fanbase.

Yeah. I mean, you can criticize the coach. But you live and die by the players you can field consistently. The spine is bad. But the roster aint much better.

I can understand Talau's response. I'm not saying I condone it. But I can understand it. I mean, a busted nose and an embarrassing home loss against a team down to twelve men for a substantial period - that hurts at every level. But I've no idea what the hell Klemmer was playing at. Maybe he...

I know it's politically correct to bag Brooks. But at least his form is consistent. You know exactly what you are going to get out of him every week. For me the bigger concern are the wild swings of consistency you are seeing from Adam Doueihi. At times he plays like an out-and-out franchise...

I should point out - the most common criticisms I've seen from Tigers fans over the last couple of weeks are a mirror image of the most common criticisms I saw from Hull Kingston Rovers fans during Tim Sheens' time at the helm prior to return to Australia. That said - everything flows from the...

Jackson's problem is he has something called a brain between his ears. This automatically makes him threatening to the overwhelming majority of players who either never possessed one or saw it roll out their ear and down the drain when they were shaving. I mean, you can believe he's some new-age...

BTW, I'm intrigued by this notion that unless you are The Greatest Teammate Evah! you're no good in the sport of rugby league. If this is the case I can think of a very, very long list of outstanding rep-level players who must have been no good. I'll never forget a story told by one of the St...

I watched both Tigers games this season. If Jackson's ballplaying ability is "average" - I'd say this places him as the best ballplayer at the club prior to him leaving. Because you guys are awful. And no - Hastings hasn't left a "trail of salty team mates" behind him. During his time in SL he...

Jackson Hastings wants to win. It's that simple. We can argue about whether he's slow, cranky, a pain in the ass. But he wants to win. I can't say I see the same commitment from players who were deemed more valuable than Jacko. Oh - and he's a nice guy. Met him several times in the UK. This idea...

But players can have a bad day. If we got rid of everyone who played a stinker in the first match of the season we'd only have six teams in the comp. I thought he was trying too hard. A little more thought in the execution and things could have broken differently. The difference is I wasn't...

That was a horrendous blunder. But ... at least he was injecting himself into the game and trying to make things happen. I watched Brooks very, very closely today. Wherever the ball seemed to be - he wasn't.

I was expecting the Titans to fold. They've found a way to lose so many games over the last two seasons it's untrue. But they seem to have stiffened things up and cut out beating themselves. If anything the Tigers looked more like the Titans.

I watched the Dolphins game after the Tigers. Difference was like night and day. They laid a beating on the Roosters. Tigers looked all over the place. I figured the Titans might struggle after losing Fermor (who is very underrated). But Tino was channeling his inner Tawera Nikau and he...

Liverpool is much changed now. Spent a lot of money on the city. Great place for a night out. Scousers are good people. Well, apart from the bluenoses ... 😊

I think you've been eating too many fried cane toads. 🤮🤮🤮😊
