Guile? Who do Ken and Ryu play for?

Because INTERNET

News just in the PNG PM asked Sonk to step down as Director to clear the record, and he agreed to do it.

Seems like the RE-ELECTED GOVERNMENT disagreees with you.

What if it works though, what if from the NRL's perspective they can tap the League-mad PNG market for youth talent and eventually business? And for the government, as you said, it's an investment in support of our region, as well as soft power influence. You mock competition with China but...

Did you read it though? It's not related to the NRL bid, it's related to his personal business dealings. Wapu Sonk was involved in the NRL bid, but separately to he runs PNG's largest petrol company and it is alleged he used that position to personally profit and/or do deals with Chinese...

That couldn't be more generic if they tried - is it sarcasm or is it real?

Also look at the prospectus - currently they are mooting the breakaway comp; they need to sign players first before funders will back a competition. And even then the competition would be a one-off with a view to long-term if they think it went well. But the plan to have nation-clubs from all...

Well Tigers did it because Tigers are desperate. Bulldogs are now doing it because they can't bear the possibility that they just bought a $1M lemon. It's a coping mechanism. The knives will come end of season if this campaign falls apart. At the moment they are still Top 4.

Agreed but we also had to cover for Galvin, that was the problem for us and the problem that Doggies are now having to learn to deal with. Galvin is dogged and seemingly very confident, and he pops up in all the right places in attack. But also we signed a million-dollar rep and...

I agree, I think it's a contributor but the run of losses is related to many other things. I think we started the season decently because the players bought into the game plan, they were fresh and the new recruits were clicking. Fast-forward 4 months and the wear-and-tear makes an impact...

Sexton 2025 Bulldogs win rate 75% Galvin 2025 Bulldogs win rate 50% That's the main stat they should be thinking about. Bulldogs only have 4 losses all year, Galvin played in 2 and all of them came in the period after Galvin announced he was leaving Tigers and the innuendo started around...

Given the entire season Madge may have managed it himself.

This is tiresome, come back to me later with new data.

I asked Pascoe about that years ago near to when the Macarthur Bulls club first started up. I got the impression the Bulls management were on friendly terms with the Council, IIRC, that is why they got a sweet deal. Also the Council had a hard on for getting some of that A-League love over to...

Well according to you the benchmark is Madge's 36% win rate. Start there. Anyone who expected Top 4 this year is off their meds and you cannot have a reasonable discussion with them. Top 8 was a pipe dream depending if things worked out just right.

Bookmark this, let's revisit in September.

You appear to have some pre-conceived idea of Benji not being able to coach, or not having served enough apprenticeship, or that he will never be able to become a better coach. Called it after 1.5 seasons, that Benji cannot and will not ever "be able to coach to save his life". That's all fine...

Yes I would care if the club was absorbed by another club. Takes long enough to come to terms with a merge let alone being absorbed. I will never give up on the club if they don't give up on me. I wear it as a badge of honour, I don't support successful because it looks good, I support my club...

Ah Benji's 2025 win rate is 37.5%. Madge's win rate in 2019 was 35%, in 2021 33% and in his final half-season 2022 was 25%. So Madge's "success rate" is only superior to Benji if you include Madge's first season (45.83%) and Benji's debut season (25%). But Benji 2025 currently had Madge...
