The most pleasing feature of the game for me was how full of enthusiasm the players returned for the 2nd half. Was that good coach Benji?

I don’t think many worry about the score during trials, but in many ways it does reflect the quality of the teams. Madden has to be a much better player than we let go, given his added experience and the pivots he’s played with?

Me too, also interested to see if Madden can get clean ball to my favourite up n comer..Makasini.

We need young players to see the path forward in reality so they can be inspired by first hand knowledge of the achievements of an average player with determination.

Maybe he’s a lock in for a coaching role?

Also changing his name to Hakeem Haas can possibly open up more commercial opportunities as other prominent sports stars have shown. Possibly a position at a university, like Ali, Sonny Bill Williams? The Broncos failed to open his mind to global possibilities. Offering the same old option with...

Turn up the volume, the footy is back!

That’s a good way to put it. Eventually the crap clubs have cap space to be able to out bid for a marquee signing.

It depends on the way you look at it. If you see it as a consequence of poor management then it acts as an incentive to be better.

Clubs seem to have a liking for the mid season dismissal.

Absolutely. There’s nothing surer. Nobody wants HBG to fail, but we need strong, constructive leadership. It writes itself like a Greek tragedy, with the irony of the very thing established to ensure sustainable success eventually developing as its major destructive force.

Well done 426, it’s never easy running a small to medium business with an ALP government, so you did well to find the donation. The promotion and retention of juniors should always be a strong Wests Tigers focus. It’s great to see the “back to the juniors” program still going since it started...

Let’s not forget Charlie Viola who refused to return and cop more of the same nonsense. We really can’t hold that against him.

Why? Have you got the broom ready?

Are you kidding ? The invisible man could not cause this much off field chaos and not be recognised. Players not effected by independent board members getting turfed then having HBG beg them to return?? They wouldn’t see this sort of behaviour every week, would they? Not lose any sleep? They...

Yes, it's wonderful. Would be even better if it lasted more than a few months. Weve missed the top eight every season since 2011, finishing 9th in 2012, 2013 and 2016. And here we are 10 years later still in fairy land.

HBG of course set the ticketing prices. You don’t think they would leave such a sensitive commercial decision to anyone else.

While Fallah was contemplating the difference between bees and flies I was often of the opinion that Pascoe and Hagipantelis were just not up to it. I'm always the first to admit when I'm wrong as I was this time. They were simply doing what they were told to do. When does HBG run out of...

Regarding the Manase situation, it surprises me that so many are putting limitations on human endeavour. I’m not sure how the jail system works, but if the warden wants him to serve full term then that’s probably the deal breaker for me. If he gets paroled he’s 28, if he serves full term he’s...
