This is a bummer.
When something like this happens, I often try and have a big view that who's winning in all this?
Surely HBG can't be winning. They would've known that the decision last week would have all these reprucssusions. Surely, it cannot be good for their business as well.
This...
I want NRL to step in but seriously wtf are they gonna do?
HBG will bend over for a year or two and say yes we will implement these changes and then go about their own ways after 2 years.
It's a never ending cycle.
What is their motivation? Seriously what is it that you actually want to do...
How hard would it be for HBG or another Board Member to come out and say "we are fully behind Wests Tigers", there is no consideration being given to bringing Magpies back or anything like that.
Na.. they love the mystery. They love the articles. All that's seen at the end of the day is how...
I can't say much for the legacy of the two teams.
Ashford doesnt need to sell. When is the NRL license renewal up?
NRL got involved a while ago and they're the ones that implemented the independent board.
In order to be a successful sporting franchise, the priority has to be winning...
Lol I have a theory that HBG makes most of its money staying in the media.
It's fair if they wanna sack but the reasoning is quite poor.
PRepare for lots of negative articles, more clicks ,more media coverage, lots of PR.
They're in the business of staying relevant, not in the business of...
Do people feel Khawaja had earned the right to be the one to decide how he retires?
He's not in the Ponting, Gilly, Hus, Clarke tier but is he in the tier with Warner, Martyn, Symonds etc?
How is Jhye Richardson going these days? Is he fit and in form? Hed be an asset in his home ground at his best.
Hazelwood is a big loss but replacing him with Boland, we lose nothing.
Starc played a few odi and t20 too I think. His work rate would need to be managed
There are certain things that "sell"
Roosters v rabbitiha
Gf reply
Manly vs Melb
Broncs vs cowboys
Dogs vs Eels
Etc etc
We will probably have 2 of these games because they sell
Have a feeling that they'd have made sure Melb Penrith Brisbane roosters get their byes around origin too
That's...
You can only straighten the attack if you're a threat with the ball and can engage defenders.
Right now, defenders are sliding off him too easily. The timing of his passing and his kicking is extremely off.
I think he just needs to spend the entire off season practicing kicking. As a ball...
Lol I forgot Bateman was managed by Moses.
This guy has been badmouthed by literally every team he's been in since he's joined the Raiders.
Now I can see Ryan Matterson is on the last nerves with the Eels too. Robbo said something about him when he left Roosters. Is he managed by Moses too by...
Having Edwards over Walsh or Moses over Clearly isn't devaluing the jersey because the players are inferior, but because the perception would be that this third game is a dead rubber and they're giving the jumper to keep everyone happy.
Playing for Kangaroos is the highest of all accolades IMO...
I hope people don't jump to conclusions with the medical staff.
Only one person has been ruled out in warm ups or training for failing HIA and that was Tupinua last year or something at the Dogs.
I doubt Concussion protocols are taken that seriously in training.
What this proves to me...
