Loved Bateman today. We've been screaming out for some fire in the belly then when one of ours shows it they get bagged. Each their own I guess. If he didn't carry on after the Stains high tackle the ref misses that. Canberra player should have been a sent off though.

Turned out about as expected. Thought we had a crack but never looked like winning. WARNING WINGE INCOMING... That Ref was blatantly woeful. High tackle in a try-scoring position has ALWAYS been a professional foul and a sin bin. Doesn't even look when Stef is shoulder-charged in the head but...

Honestly, I don't think we beat Canberra in Canberra but I just want to see some combinations forming, smart choices in the attacking 20 and solid defence. We all know this is a building year and there will always be some who spit the dummy when we don't win but we need to see the light at the...

If Bennett has one eye on the next new NRL team (be that Perth, PNG, whoever) then he has at least two years to kill before then. I'd love him as GM of Football here for that period but my gut says he will take a head coaching gig somewhere (if Parra miss the finals he may take over there in 25).

I expect Sezer to bring some organisation and thus more wins. Check this out (scroll to bottom): https://rugbyleaguewriters.com/nrl-2024/nrl-round-1-big-questions-dolphins-cowboys-tigers/ Watch the videos at the bottom. Sezer tells Galving to stay behind the ruck until the defence line is down...

I know it won't happen but Taumalolo as lock is the missing piece to our forward pack. I trust that our juniors coming through are going to be great for us but still feel we are one or two signings from being truly competitive. Hope this year dispels me of that.

Agree. Galvin is most dangerous on the edges (if you watched his games last year), plus still not heavy enough for the forwards. Galvin in for Toa could be the way, but still maybe not straight away.

Storm is my number one most hated team due to their dodgy tactics and preferential treatment. They seem to get away with murder that teams like us and Canberra/STG/etc. would get players sent off for (on and off the field). The fact they celebrate cheating by displaying their stripped 2007/2009...

Plus you get a free hat!!!

I've said this before, everyone on here who isn't a member (for whatever reason) should grab a non-ticketed club membership. Not too expensive but helps the club immensely (plus you get a free hat!). I live in Darwin and have been a member for something like 15 years. Baffled that WT don't...

How long until Lobb is in the start 13? Round 5? His dominance in the air plus hard carries out of our end already make him a stand out. But who makes way? Tupou or Stains?

Anyone know what the bleached hair punishment could have been for? Late to training? Dropped balls?

I was lucky enough to meet the Wallabies players before they headed over to lose the World Cup. I asked Vunivalu what code he likes better, Union or League and his reply: "Well, I win more games in NRL..."

I agree with the consensus re. the PNG/Cairns team. Similar issue with a joint Pacific team. The only team that makes sense financially, population-wise, revenue, timezone, state-of-the-art stadium and really puts the N in NRL, is Perth. Perth Bears? Perth Jets? Or a new name would probably be...

I think we will have strong competition for positions and a next-man-up policy with every backline position with two potential starters. I've gone with the starter then the next-man-up in my side due to injury or form. Taking emotion out of it (re. Nofo and Tupou) I think they are still our...

Those last few minutes really reinforced his want to run a team and take the challenge head on. Encouraging words and attitude from a proven winner. As the man himself is wont to say - Let's go!

I watched it live and they cut back to the studio at that same point. Was frustrating as I love a bit of Benji gushing.

Wooooooooot!

The graphics design team and the marketing team would have only come back to work today. Give them time to whip something up for the announcement. A press release involves much more than one sentence from the boss. That being said, I expect we will see something later this week if not earlier.
