RIP Aussie Joe

So what you are saying is it's a dumb rule entirely up to very subjective interpretations.

I maintain Tigers should have won 1 more GF during that period. 2010 was the closest we got but 2011 we had the better team.

What does the "magic 8 ball" say?

They were right, we need Eisenhuth back. Eisenhuth was always the anti-Taumololo... even in his prime Huthy could stop JT 1-on-1 at the try line.

Naden was a little bit worse than Vailea.

Chin up

That's Naden for you

Can definitely say without Bula we are very lacking in strike power.

I think Ciraldo is over-rated and Benji is under-rated. Whether one is better than the other, I can't yet say. Personally I like Benji's vibe, I have confidence he's a long-term solution and he's a man-manager in the mould of Wayne Bennett. I think he has what it takes to be a good coach, I...

Well "we" didn't get funding, the local council did. The issue is, and Richo is canny because he knows this, that the state of LO and CSS is not acceptable for elite-level sport and teams are likely to move to the new central stadia unless there are upgrades. So the local councils have...

I suppose we can at least be grateful it's not an ACL, so he has plenty of time to recover.

They've simply stopped policing the head-highs since Seyfarth got done. No idea what's happened but nobody is binned anymore for careless head contact? Is this like Bryce Gibbs where he got 3 weeks for kneeing Luke Burt in the back and nobody has ever been penalised for it since?

Ref called almost nothing, spent most of the game gesturing for the player to get to his feet.

I think today that's my biggest disappointment. I have to drive 2 hours to Leichhardt now, I don't live in Sydney any more. I drove in 2 hours, dared to dream, then had 2 hours drive home to sit in my disappointment. We were primed for a good result and the crowd was jubilant after we hit the...

I dunno, "getting too far in front too early" hasn't been the issue for us in 2025. We've actually gone on with quite a few games where we've hit the lead mid-game, especially lately. 2025 for me has been more about chasing down those smaller leads, like you say we are still alright at chasing...

Hard disagree. The disaster is already averted, we've done enough in 2025 to not be a disaster. Evidence already by the 16K crowd at Leichhardt all hopeful and vocal, didn't take much only a few good wins. Also specifically to finish 15th doesn't mean so much this year, if that's what...

In fairness Dearden's been having a stormer for much of the season. He was outstanding in Origin.

Fundamentally we aren't fast enough. Bula is one of the fastest but he doesn't have explosive speed, he has and can hold a high cruising speed. Our forwards aren't fast or mobile either, they are almost all tough workers. Sam Fainu really the only one who has some top-end mobility. Rest of...

Those are some of the worst teams in history, too.
