    The more I look at the picture the more it looks fake. Like Makasinis skin looks far too perfect when you’d expect to see a more muscular outline (legs especially), there’s no emblem, can’t really see a CCC anywhere and other sponsors are messed up including pepper money a little. Reeks of AI...

    Very interesting scenarios to play out here. I mean last year we picked McSweeney to open based on the philosophy that he was at the time one of our 6 best betters but he was a No.3 and we all know how that went when he went to open. This year Weatherald has probably been the best opener in...

    2026 NRL Draw

    Clubs opt into Magic Round home games. There is a decent financial incentive from the NRL and given our club hasn’t been making any profit for the last 10 years until this year it makes a lot of sense why we are taking the opportunity. Broncos would never sign up as they know they just get a...

    2026 NRL Draw

    AI hates the Tigers apparently. As long as our remaining two byes are at Round 10 and 19 or near to that then it’s ok, but then if they give us a bye in like Rd24 or later then we are just being screwed over. Can’t wait for 2027 where byes are gonna be evenly placed 🙏.

    2026 NRL Draw

    I think the teams they send to Vegas is pretty much decided like a whole year before. In 2024 I’m pretty sure 3 of those teams made finals (just checked and yes 3 did but also the bulldogs logo looks so bad on the ladder 🤣) and Dragons came 11th. I think their strategy has been to send 4 new...

    Izaac Tui'itupou is managed by Tyran Smith's agency and ended up in the Magpies NSW Cup system and eventually went on to play one NRL game this year. Obviously he could be managed by someone else within the agency (like Payne Haas managed by Merhi) or maybe it was the best contract offered to...

    Firstly, I’d like to say I also believe that Alex had a fairly lacklustre year last year and based on that he should be in NSW Cup to start the year only coming into first grade as cover or if he has earned a promotion by playing out of his skin. However, your statistics are not comparable and...

    Sidearm. That’s what I’ve always called it. To be fair they are only as dangerous as someone bowling at you if not less dangerous as skilful bowlers are capable of getting more swing or better hiding variations, but they are just far more convenient from a training perspective. The most...

    I’m pretty sure a sidearm was being used but still terrible for whoever released the delivery. The neck guards on helmets were not mandated but strongly encouraged after Phil Hughes I’m pretty sure. Steve Smith initially wore one post Hughes but said it was quite annoying so stopped using it.

    Real sad to hear the news on Ben. I was someone who was significantly taken aback by the passing of Phil Hughes, the anniversary of which is less than a month away so to hear it’s happened again, let alone to a young 17 year old boy is quite devastating. This is a truly unfortunate accident and...

    Bala is an Indigenous word originating from Torres Strait Islander Languages meaning “brother”. From what I know it’s basically used to denote someone is Indigenous but also a brother (friend/mate) such as in this context. This is similar to the Awabakal term “Koori” frequently used by...

    Basically like fake news/it’s a lie, sort of thing. Like if I said that we were about to sign Nathan Cleary but you think I’m lying you’d say “cap”. Basically it’s the shortest way to say “you’re lying/I don’t believe you”

    Not entirely sure where to post but looks like we’ve locked up Caitlin Turnbull for our NRLW team until 2029. Good signing for our girls as she’s had a great year capped off with a hat-trick in the PMs XIII and multiple awards at the awards night. So the NRLW off-season signings are off to a...

    Can imagine how the bulldogs deciding on this went. “So I think we had a pretty solid year, ended up as the best defensive team of the year so would should probably look at bolstering our attack. Now we bought Galvin who is the most talented teenager Gus here has ever seen. Also Gus we are...
