One more thing I remembered. It was obvious how much the players respect Api and love him as a leader. Fonua spoke about how he is relaxed guy but when he runs on, 'he switches it on', and keeps them all focussed, which he said was good for all the young forwards.

I'm sorry you missed it Tony. Was pretty low-key but was a buzz to be in the place and around fans who care (too much maybe) about our club. Mostly spoke to the women's NRL players, who were really impressive young people. Went on a tour with Sarah Togatuki and Fonua Pole. Biggest revelation was...

At the Members Event last night Fonua Pole said the most impressive young forward coming through was definitely Kit Laulilii. Said to expect big things. Also in the team feedback room, where they watch and analyse their games is a series of blown up still photos from every game. A moment is...

I think you're right. Maddison looks like such a great addition. And I thought Spurs were great considering they lost their best player to Bayern only a few days before. Can't imagine how much of their training and tactics has been built around Kane for years - will take a bit to mentally undo...

My son's justification is the other 'Big 6' managers seem safe, and there's always one big shock at those places. I hope he's wrong.

This might not be the right place for this, but my son who is a keen soccer player, dared me to make some bold (foolish) predictions for the season: First Manager sacked: Me Steve Cooper, Emile David Moyes Biggest shock: Me Thomas Frank leaves Brentford, Emile: Ange sacked! Let me know what...

I don't think Simpkin is the answer. You can see what a great hooker has brought to the team in Api. But I do feel Madge put a lot of pressure on him to perform immediately (thinking of that Rabbits game where he played 80 in one of his first games against a huge pack), and then went cold on...

Thanks

Should be good. USA the favourites but I'd love to see Sam Kerr win it in Oz.

Since Ange became Manager I want them to do well. Even if it stuffs my team's chances

Am pretty new to the "Prem" (as my 15 year Man City obsessed son calls it) but I'd be happy to join the Fantasy League. How do I do it? I decided to support Newcastle cos my mum is a Geordie - what a first season to be a Maggies supporter!

It was a great job. Paid for making things up.

I used to write for Home and Away. You would struggle to plot these twists and keep them believable. Seriously though we were taught to always keep 'balls in the air', just when you think things are going well throw in some drama - a long lost brother, a change of loyalty, an affair. in that...

I take your point Earl, but like I mentioned I'm no insider or pretend to be. I suppose, if I'm honest, I probably didn't want to believe it. The club had just sacked Madge and was in the hunt for Ciraldo, and I wanted to believe that success, or improvement was on the horizon. I prioritised my...

Take this with a grain of salt and no actual inside knowledge of the club or its management. I am not an ex-player and only a member of 10 years. But here goes. I'm a screenwriter and last year was employed to work on a (very funny) rugby league based comedy series by some well known figures in...

Would that free up Chad Townsend as the experienced half WT's are looking for?

Great comment Magpies. I don't remember Tommy publicly bagging the Tigers, or wearing another team's jersey while playing for us, or getting into off field stuff. I also don't think letting Talau go makes us weaker and there's a good chance he wasn't offered a new contract. If he manages to...

Have to agree with Tim Sheens on this. The Voice has no veto power and can only offer advice. That's the detail you are looking for. It has no veto. Having worked in Indigenous communities a lot, the best programmes came out of asking a community for input. That, in essence, is what the Voice...

Would they think of playing Cherrington, who is experienced and has been playing well I heard.

Thanks Tiger One. Count me in. Am still new to Premier League so have no idea.
