It's a good side that Warriors reggies.

Learns the hard way not to give any ammunition to your opponent, a la Mundine. I didn't think a lot of it after Stefano's interview, but obviously the Broncos players were still thinking about it after the game, and no doubt the big hit by Piakura on Stefano to dislodge the ball was a big fire-up.

That's great footage; I recall the "official" match footage doesn't have the shot so clear (the camera switches) and I don't recall ever seeing the cheap shot so obviously. I don't recall replays at or after the actual match - Tigers made a line break and during those camera changes you can see...

So painful that I watch Nine exactly 4 times a year.

Certainly won't pay for a beer any time soon.

He doesn't respond well to being roughed up or his side losing momentum. Like [This word has been automatically removed] Moses he's a flat-track bully.

I was thinking about it a lot yesterday: it just seems that Madge's key strength is he can get top performances out of top players, but with a more struggling side he ends up flogging a dead horse. For example you could see the Broncos were coming hard over the top yesterday, same really as the...

I don't know the Broncos-Penrith one was pretty epic as a bystander.

Storm don't quite have those same old hard-head type players in the forwards. They are very no frills in places and it was exposed by Broncos in that back 20 minutes when the army of big Broncos backrowers plus dynamic centres were barnstorming every set, whereas Storm looked gassed. For...

1988 I was 8 years old and there at the new SFS. I could cop the loss as Doggies were the best team all year, Balmain came from nowhere to reach that GF. It would have been interesting if Ellery was not taken out, because he was a constant threat all finals series and Balmain were becoming...

I've very familiar with his brother Pale

You said it. Fantasy football for real-life NRL rosters.

Who would have thought - decent forward joins Melbourne and plays finals footy. I'm shocked.

Roger Fabri is everyone's speed coach, bloke's been around for an age.

I think I read that Izack Tago is the first player in Australian league history to win his first 10 consecutive finals matches.

Haven't won a finals match since 2015.

I wouldn't go over the top, in: 2013 their head coach was suspended for supplements 2016 their Chairman was done for cocaine 2018 Sharks were done for systematic salary cap breaches dating back 4 years and by some miracle were not fingered or excluded for their 2016 premiership 2018 their CEO...

I met Siro when I was a kid and he was in his prime, really good guy, like you said, took time to have a chat and he could tell I was star-struck. Blocker too. My Dad's uncle was mentally handicapped, mad Balmain fan, hanging around the club and they were super nice to him, always made time to...

I'll just requote myself here: interesting yesterday that Ciraldo did reshuffle the Dogs lineup to match the back end of last week - Burton to centres, Sexton to start, Mahoney to start. EXCEPT unlike last week where the whole Dogs spine became involved, 99% of traffic went through Galvin from...

Dogs haven't won a finals game since 2015, an 11-10 win over Dragons.
