I'm not sticking up for the Fox dropkicks, but here's how I see it. NRL isn't a big sport by any means. It's only popular in two states of Australia. Most of the time there is not much to report on. But, we have a tv channel dedicated to it and journos who are tasked with getting views and...

Ivan Cleary - struggled with us but made back to back grand finals at Penrith and won a premiership. Obviously it's about the players.

Impressive rise from SG Ball to NRL in the same season. No doubt a very proud moment for the young fella and his family. Good luck to him.

At the end of the day, Stefano is still very much a rookie and has only played 33 matches. He's a very long way off a leadership role and for mine, still needs time to establish himself as a first grader. The club really needs a few experienced props to give him time to develop. Tamou is past...

This must be one of the weakest sides we've named for years.

This is next level nonsense. Benchmark? Is Hooper some neuroscience professor?

This is one of the most accurate posts in 200+ pages. Sheens is no dummy. The bloke has been around for 40+ years and knows the game inside out from the junior level up. We haven't had anyone like him steering things at the club since... ever? I'm not at all surprised he was out meeting...

Makes perfect sense to me. If you tell the public you're chasing him, of course you tell the public that he's out of the race.

Management have copped a bagging on the Ciraldo offer and subsequent snub, but they played it the right way. They've made no secret that they want someone in place soon to offer some certainty for 2023 recruiting. Putting some pressure on Ciraldo to show his cards was the right move.

It started as a question about why minority groups feel like they need to have a voice that's louder than their numbers and whether there was an agenda behind it (there's not). It then moved onto accusing a minority group of wanting to encroach on someone else's territory. Read it how you want...

Google Shane Flannagan and golf day. There are a few others out there too. They may well all be false but it might also explain why he hasn't had a coaching gig since.

There were also a few non-drug stories that came out around the same time that painted him in a pretty bad light.

He may well be a good coach, but he's working with the best youngsters. For mine, that's no guarantee he can make it work here.

Why everyone's obsession with Ciraldo? The bloke hasn't been a fulltime first grade coach and has coached a totally stacked Penrith junior set-up.

In the 1960s plenty of people said Aboriginal people were 'encroaching' on them by being allowed in a pub.

Fair dinkum, some of you guys should change your usernames to eeyore the donkey. Off field we're doing ok. Turning a profit, getting our own academy, getting junior programs back up and running that we're neglected for a very long time. Same can't be said for a lot of other clubs. Avoiding the...

I guess you could say exactly the same about any minority group who speaks up?

So now we let blokes walk instead of getting them to mow lawns for the rest of their contract?

He did rebuild and had an arguably better team in 2010 that finished 3rd and could have won another title.

A lot of people say that 2005 was a fluke, but we had a very good side with really high levels of individual skill and young guys who were on the way up. Our spine and backline could all score tries and were all dangerous with ball in hand. They were also smart. You'd regularly see a guy like...
