Storm don't quite have those same old hard-head type players in the forwards. They are very no frills in places and it was exposed by Broncos in that back 20 minutes when the army of big Broncos backrowers plus dynamic centres were barnstorming every set, whereas Storm looked gassed. For...

1988 I was 8 years old and there at the new SFS. I could cop the loss as Doggies were the best team all year, Balmain came from nowhere to reach that GF. It would have been interesting if Ellery was not taken out, because he was a constant threat all finals series and Balmain were becoming...

I've very familiar with his brother Pale

You said it. Fantasy football for real-life NRL rosters.

Who would have thought - decent forward joins Melbourne and plays finals footy. I'm shocked.

Roger Fabri is everyone's speed coach, bloke's been around for an age.

I think I read that Izack Tago is the first player in Australian league history to win his first 10 consecutive finals matches.

Haven't won a finals match since 2015.

I wouldn't go over the top, in: 2013 their head coach was suspended for supplements 2016 their Chairman was done for cocaine 2018 Sharks were done for systematic salary cap breaches dating back 4 years and by some miracle were not fingered or excluded for their 2016 premiership 2018 their CEO...

I met Siro when I was a kid and he was in his prime, really good guy, like you said, took time to have a chat and he could tell I was star-struck. Blocker too. My Dad's uncle was mentally handicapped, mad Balmain fan, hanging around the club and they were super nice to him, always made time to...

I'll just requote myself here: interesting yesterday that Ciraldo did reshuffle the Dogs lineup to match the back end of last week - Burton to centres, Sexton to start, Mahoney to start. EXCEPT unlike last week where the whole Dogs spine became involved, 99% of traffic went through Galvin from...

Dogs haven't won a finals game since 2015, an 11-10 win over Dragons.

I still don't know if I have even forgiven Glenn Morisson.

Not up to it. But my main gripe is - all this BS media hype about how good a coach Ciraldo is, when he's persisted with a Burton/Galvin combo for months now and Bulldogs have been on the decline. Mid-match he's forced to recall Sexton and push Burton to centres - and suddenly Bulldogs are a...

It means "no fatties allowed". Like when all those lads accidentally pushed over the fencing over the Glenn Morrison dunnies.

I think that was put to bed when he won the Origin series. Seems like for most coaches - Tigers are a bridge too far.

Hudson Young generally deserves the bin for being an all-round pillock. I don't personally think he deserved the bin for getting in Walsh's face, but I'm not entirely against it. Personally I think this is justification again for the 5-minute sin bin, where those medium offences can get a...

It's a classic Tigers-style loss. Simple answer is Raiders should never have been mown down with the lead they had. At home with all the running, you eliminate the errors, make your tackles and go on and win. Every chance Broncos get desperate, they throw a loose pass and you win by 20...

Madge certainly loved the W, don't think I've ever seen a coach more fired up with the victory vibes.

Richo publicly does not like the Vegas idea, apparently he wants to avoid Tigers being involved for as long as possible.
