    Another terrorist attack in France

    I just woke up to the news that there has been another terrorist attack in France, this time in Nice, one of the popular tourist spots. Someone has driven a lorry into the crowd watching a fire works display to celebrate Bastille Day, the national day. Over 80 people have been killed. Nice is...

    Coach Potter

    I was reading an article on ABC Grandstand that rated Potter as second most likely coach to get the chop mid-season, after The Dragons' Steve Price. The article said that he alienated a 'fair chunk' of the players last season. Can any of you tell me who they are talking about. Benji...

    NRL Finals Fantasy League

    When I registered for Finals Fantasy League I was put in a league that currently has only 3 members, so if you are looking for a last minute sign up, the league is 378074. I have no friends!

    Corey Payne - Young Australian of the Year!

    When Bulldogs forward Corey Payne received a phone call telling him that he was in the running to be named NSW young Australian of the Year, he thought it was a prank from one of his teammates. The 28-year-old had been recognised numerous times for his work with the University of Sydney and the...

    Half time scores in 2011

    It has occurred to me that we have led at half time only about 2-3 times all season. We led Souths in round 5 and Canberra in round 8, I think. Do any of you have accurate figures on this? It's a miracle we are in the 8 with such a half time record. Wake up in the first 40 minutes Tigers!

    Ray Stead 1940s-50s

    I was wondering if anyone on here remembers a Wests Magpies player named Ray Stead, I think he must have played in the 40s or 50s. I am researching a book based on the life of a 75 year old Australian woman who lives upstairs from us in Paris. She thinks that her uncle Ray played for Wests. Can...

    Wests Tigers, look what you've done to me

    I've been through some good times and bad times in my life. As a supporter of the Western Suburbs Magpies and now the Wests Tigers there's been joy and misery…. But never before in my life have I sunk so low as having to cheer on the St George Dragons. Noel Kelly, forgive me, Arthur Summons...

    Robbie in the Australian 9

    We live in Paris now, so were able to attend the France v Australia. Without giving away anything, the following things emerged from the game: Robbie looked confident and relaxed. He kicked well out of dummy-half. He made a lot of tackles and had at least one try-assist. He went close to scoring...

    Unemployed Centres

    We have two great young centres in our team. Lawry is generally regarded as a marquee player of the future, and Ayshford shows speed and a good football brain. But neither of them runs 50 metres a game because they hardly ever get the ball. Two questions for the minds on the forum - what is it...
