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...

Now let me see if I understand? Gilbert got benched for 6 months for consorting, and now that he has served his suspension he can come back but only if he grovels, and it has to be convincing. Gilbert is rejecting the board’s cohesion. While it sounds like a small group of kids causing trouble...

I’ve noticed at least 4 people have indicated above that Broncos will win the gf days after the game has finished.

Some people would say that’s a very good sign that we must be doing something right. Not only developing players but also coaches. Bellamy tried to destroy our record run by luring a few of our players with the promise of lower wages and more discipline, but Madge was one step ahead cranking up...

There’s something which is a much bigger asset than money. It’s how that money is used. It’s been at the heart of many of Tigers issues and failures.

Yes, I like Buzz but he does have a bad habit of carrying a vendetta. Madge is obviously enjoying coaching Broncos, with his ex Storm mate as CEO. A massive change from the hostile environment at Tigers.

Exactly, and success attracts success. Straight after the Broncos win their share price jumped 40%.

Sheens has always had a focus on development but the club has run hot and cold on the idea because of the cost. Rightly or wrongly at the time I thought it was code to mean, the board wanted Ciraldo who could lure developed players. Ciraldo, of course declined the approach saying, “there’s still...

The Wests Tigers board conducted an internal review of their football department, and while Michael Maguire was not unanimously supported, the board decided to keep him as coach in September 2021. The review was initiated due to the Tigers finishing 13th in the NRL season and was a response to...

Yes, very unstorm like, they usually finish strongly regardless of the score. Rnd 27 Broncos were ahead 12-4, and went on with it to win the 2nd half 18-10 in a scrappy game. Walsh booted 4 penalty goals. Mariner and NAS got binned. Makes me wonder if they would have been stronger if NAS played?

Tui didn’t score the try because of the determination of the broncos FB to be at the right place at precisely the right time, and execute the right tackle. If Tui wanted to improve his chances of scoring he tucks the ball to his chest and drops to the ground. This level of missed opportunities...

Hard not to go with it imo? Belief in the coaching tactics and each other that a very tough preseason gave them a GF win, they’ll happily do it again. They’re a top 4 team next season if they keep the wheels on?

Well, he must have done a great job if nobody noticed he was there?

There’s something pretty special about a coach who can consistently send his players out for the second half with the strong belief that even though they are busted and behind on the scoreboard, this game is theirs. Down by 10 at the break, again they repelled all efforts from the opposition to...
