Heamasi Makasini has been named to make his NSW Cup debut off the bench this week. 17 years old, turns 18 at the end of July. Can't play NRL until he is 18 but is allowed to play Cup.

On paper, I thought our pack looked decent at the start of the season. Not one of the best, but certainly not the worst. How wrong was I? Our forwards in the second half against the Dogs were a dead set embarrassment. Got absolutely bullied by a pack most would consider to be one of the worst...

Tim Sheens has made the finals in 3 of his last 21 seasons as a head coach in the NRL. Yet the brains trust in Pascoe and big mouth Lee thought it was a genius idea to bring him out of retirement. Say no more.

Anyone who thinks this guy is good enough must seriously be clutching at straws, or watching a different game. "Brooks needs the forwards to go forward" "Brooks will be better without Marshall in the team" "Brooks and Reynolds will be better as Brooks can take control" "Oh Brooks won the...

I'm calling it - best player this club has signed since Gareth Ellis.

These three between them have contributed next to nothing all season. All horrible today, absolutely pathetic.

Has he ever kicked a field goal under any pressure? Absolute bottler. There is a good reason why we've lost 6 out of the last 6 golden point games.

I suspect Farah's shoulder injury from last night is going to be bad, and he will miss the next two months of football. I have no inside info, just a hunch, and a number of journos have already hinted that he could miss the rest of the Origin series. A number of people on here have hinted that...

In August 2013, Grant Mayer was quoted in the Macarthur Advertiser saying the following: **"Our aim is to be in the top eight next year (2014), the top four the following year (2015) and in 2016 we want to be in the grand final," he said.**...

For as long as I can remember, this guy has been talked up as a future superstar. He'll play for Australia, they said. He will be a great player, they said. He'll play Origin, they said. Has there been a more hyped player in the last decade? For all the hype, he has been abysmal. No impact in...

That was absolutely disgraceful stuff out there. Men against boys. Seems like no matter the coach, no matter the roster, this team is the same - just crumbles into a heap at the first sign of adversity. The Roosters treated us with zero respect tonight and what did we do about it? Crawl up...

Looks like JT is feeling the pressure already after last week's capitulation. He's spent most of the pre-match press conference today whinging about the draw, and how it's unfair that we have to play the Bulldogs twice in such a short space of time. While I agree that the draw is stupid and...

FPN's fine performance against us yesterday was another reminder that there is no other team who an consistently make average players look like superstars but the Tigers. Over the years there have been so many poor players who have consistently had blinders against us. I think we could easily...

Aside from the Warriors, our interchange rotation has to be among the worst in the NRL. A lot of the rot came when Farah sat like last week. No direction/leadership. Sironen is not an 80 minute player. Woods plays too many minutes. Our prop rotation is ordinary. At the start of the second...

Two very ordinary games in a row. He's not up to it, offers very little. Lovett a much better option moving forward, and I would have Sitaleki ahead of him too.

So, the club is charging $47.50 to sit in a reserved grandstand seat at CS this Monday night. :wtf :crazy This is absolutely ridiculous pricing. Have I missed something or has non-members tickets always been this much?

Everybody raves about him but I don't see it. IMO he was hyped because everyone wanted him to replace Anasta (rightfully) and although he is an upgrade on Anasta (let's face it, who the [This word has been automatically removed] wouldn't be), he is just not that good. A fill in player at best, and easy to see why Penrith let him...

After the mess of the past week, does anyone expect a decent crowd? Campbelltown on a Monday night, likely to be cold, media storm all week…

Another three or four yesterday, according to the press conference (mostly shoulders). Does anyone actually believe this is simply a case of "bad luck"? Our strength and conditioning department has to be the worst in the competition.

Isn't it funny that our normally chirpy CEO is nowhere to be seen? Always happy to post spin on Twitter all day everyday, yet nothing but silence when the proverbial has hit the fan. I suppose when you have just disgracefully thrown the coach under the bus, there's probably no amount of spin...
