    D & D

    Defence and Discipline - our achillies heels for many many years. The class of 2024 produced the worst defence in the club's history and discipline was very poor as well where we ended up beating the Roosters who are pesistent yearly worst offenders. Our 16 sinbins, 35 judiciary charges with 31...

    Golden Yeo

    Big congrats to a bloke who goes under the radar a tad, but deserves to be mentioned with the greats of the game. https://www.nrl.com/news/2024/12/11/leadership-skill-decision-making-yeo-ends-aussie-golden-boot-drought/

    The Salary Cap Effect

    Been a lot of chatter lately surrounding the the continual domination of the 'glamour' clubs during the salary cap era. I thought Id compile the results so we could all have a look and start a conversation based on facts. The salary cap was first introduced in a bit of a hap-hazard form ahead of...

    A statistical look at NRL season 2024 with Wests Tigers comparrisons Part 3 Discipline and General

    Discipline has been our achillies heel for a lot of the season. The onslaught of sinbins and judiciary visits mid season seemed to really derailed us, but were they the only factor? Lets have a look at all of the facets that discipline to get a closer look: Penalties. We were one of the higher...

    The Best Agree

    One thing that I really appreciated last night was that channel nine had 4 of the best players ever commentating, and they all took the time to individually praise our young blokes, whilst actively encouraging them to stay with us and build something special. Joey and Cam posed every question...

    Death of a Champion - Black Caviar

    Really sad news that the champion racehorse Black Caviar had to be euthanised after complications with birthing a foal yesterday. She was perfect. Vale legend….😭

    Unwanted records

    So season 2024 has been a train wreck, we all acknowledge that - even the most rusted on amongst us. We have all but secured a third spoon in a row despite possessing a squad with the highest concentration of former and current Internationals, State of Origin players and those with NRL finals...

    CMFEU VIC in strife…been a long time coming.

    This should surprise no one in the construction industry. Hot tip…the QNT branch is just as bad. https://www.theage.com.au/politics/federal/victorian-cfmeu-placed-into-administration-by-national-executive-20240715-p5jtoc.html

    The race for the spoon

    I heard one of the commentators mention the other day that the race for the spoon is every bit as intriguing as the race for the minor premiership. It seems that realistically, the spoon will go to one of the current bottom 4 teams i.e. South Sydney Rabbitohs - 16 Gold Coast Titans - 14...

    Must win v Dragons round 14.

    We need to fight to save ourselves from the utter humiliation of a third striaght wooden spoon. This is one of only three "winnable" games on paper in the next 3 months. We must secure the 2 points. Our opponent smoked us in the trial. Their pack and outside backs trampled us. They handled us...

    Match Review and Judiciary Thread

    Seeing as we are the most undisciplined bunch of clowns this year, I thought Id have a squiz at just how we relate to the rest of the comp. I present to you the records as per the completion of round 11: Our team records are as follows:

    Backline defence

    It’s no secret that Cronulla have a beastly line up of outside backs. They are all fast, strong, athletic and really hard to bring down. Last night was no different, they played really well. They ran for 750m with 212 of those post contact and 24 tackle breaks between them. They were busy and...

    LIVE GAME Round 3 Discussion ••SPOILERS••

    Looking forward to this clash tonight. Certainly not a GF rematch because that’s not a thing, however this should still be a good game.

    Spanian visits Alice Springs

    We were talking a bit about A-Town and how feral it is last year. I saw a bloke dragged out of his car and beaten with a jimmy bar whilst others smashed his car in with pick axe handles…it was just off the main drag and there were people everywhere. Spanian has gone to the Alice and done a doco...

    Penrith v Wigan WCC

    Great atmosphere. Both teams revved up for a stink. Should be a cracker.

    Simple question with a complicated answer. Why is Taylor Swift so popular? Cheers.
