Exactly, that's the definition of over rated. ;)

Agree. Benny changed the way hookers played. Overshadowed by his grating personality, but as a player he was a revelation. However, I don't fully accept the rhetoric around Smith. Longevity, sure. Captaincy and ref control, absolutely. But take away goal kicking and his stats per game aren't...

When? I did no such thing. No mention of my family at all until you chirped up. Poor form, mate. Think before you type.

Not sure how to respond to this. Why would you attack someone one a personal level about their family because they shared an opinion about an NRL player? I think you should take a breath and think before you type. We're all just chatting about our team.

Papali'i and Tupou back next week I reckon. I know both are leaving at the end of the year but I'd still play them for the rest of the season. Papali'i as lock and Tupou to the wing. Probabaly still the best we have in two positions we haven't got standouts in. I'm actually gutted we are...

Here's what I want to see re. NRL expansion over the next few years: 2027: PERTH PIRATES (or PERTH JETS if they have to connect with a legacy club) - Blue and Black 2029: Second NZ team (Christchurch Chiefs/Wolves/Whatever) - Brown and Forest Green 2030: CENTRAL COAST BEARS - Red and Black...

As much as I hope we win this one, there is the very real possibility that we lose the next 3 or so, sink to last again, the media turns on us again, THEN get a few wins in the last part of the season to lift us off the bottom and avoid the spoon. The NRL ladder predictor is interesting as...

Wouldn't be surprised to see Olam in for Naden and Bateman for Porter. Would strengthen us even further. I'm OK with Klemmer off the bench. Still not convinced with Faatape. Think we need at least one tall winger. Lobb or Alaimalo but it seems both are still injured.

Great win by the boys. Unexpected but so good to see them rip in! But... we need to talk about that sin-binning. Within the space of 30 seconds there was a tackle reset, penalty and a sin-binning all for minor indiscretions. Seyfarth hardly touches their player and puts his hands up almost...

He didn't say it. His manager said it to agitate for a release (read more money). Hope Galvin and his family change management soon or the NRL ban him again.

Api is signed until the end of 2026. I think he deserves to play out that year before retiring. But the youth factor is looking very positive.

The next 4 games are against top 8 teams, including 1st and 3rd. If we can win any of them it would be a minor miracle. But with 3 more games still at Leichhardt and the cavalry coming next year, i hope we stay strong and keep building the foundations for a strong 2025.

I hope this involves the full rebuild as described here: https://yoursay.innerwest.nsw.gov.au/leichhardt-oval-master-plan The corporate boxes are unfortunatley a must if the club wants to make any money from the games.

So we're about halfway through the season. We're obviously not going great but for context let's use the expectations from the start of the year as our yardstick... At the start of the season, most on here said something along the lines of "as long as we are competing in every game" "effort...

Both Fainu's signed until 2027.

Jason Taumalolo not selected for Cowboys this week. Looks like they may be trying to push him out. I'd pay $600k (with Cowboys chipping in the other $400k) to have him at Tigers. A new environment could do him wonders. Plus we need a lock...

You cut out the part where they look at the jersey colours before making their decisions.

Although highly unlikely, I would love Luai to get the number 7 for the Blues and then put on a masterclass for a victory. Would be amazing as our incoming half for 25.

It's hard not to think there's more to this than meets the eye. I try really hard to remain unbiased but I watch most games each weekend and there is a definite trend that the 'powerful' clubs seem to get away with more than the 'developing' clubs. We aren't the only ones who consistently get...
