As long as you stick to commenting on football, about which you have some idea, and not vaccines, about which you have zero idea, we'll all be fine.

woke isn't a real word any more, please stop using it

You can be entitled to your beliefs and also be a bigot. Not illegal to be a bigot. Defined as "utterly intolerant of those who possess different beliefs, backgrounds, or ways of life". It's one thing he doesn't like homosexuality, it's another thing again to go around posting on social media...

He's probably thinking that Luke L is going to the Bears next year and Maka has signed on long-term, so you have to get the kid experienced.

In fairness I don't even think the main media tried to make this a Tigers thing, only twitter and social media started pushing the narrative that Tigers were interested.

6 of the 9 worst NRL era losses have occurred since 2021 - Tigers responsible for 4 of them. It's like the worst teams are getting worse.

I reckon most clubs except Cowboys and perhaps Sharks think they are a good change of beating the Tigers in any given round. Pretty worrysome.

Except it's not true. The Herald says Folau's mgmt contacted Tigers about a potential NRL return and we said no.

# wins is all that matters; people should be ignoring the byes.

I honestly don't think it's just a Tigers thing - some players cannot excel outside of excellent systems. The players we are referencing here were doing well at Storm and Panthers, two of the best and continuously successful systems. And they were plonked into ordinary systems with ordinary...

Hold on, hold on... what's happened to Blind Freddy?

Commbank is also rather convenient for Penrith fans, not just the reduced travel distance, but they've become used to it as their temporary home. Really should be playing Panthers and Eels somewhere else.

One of the newspapers put up the worst losses of all time, I think Tigers had 3 in the Top 9 and all of them in the past 4 seasons. 74-0 is the current record and made all the worse by the fact that we beat them 66-18 just SIX rounds earlier.

The game has to go back to a tougher grittier contest if it wants the teams to even out. This high-octane possession style is putting so much distance between the best teams and the middle, let alone the worst teams.

Agree 100%. Almost worse to start a season so promisingly, especially on the back of defence, then get smashed 4/5 weeks. At least, if it's going to be another disappointing season, please let me come to terms with that in the first few rounds, not drop the bundle mid-season. I was...

I think there's a strong argument for modification of the rules, and I thought I heard recently that many clubs had pitched to the NRL that the set restarts needed a re-think. There are just too many one-sided scores for the comp. It's not just that Penrith are too good, it's that good teams...

I think Luai definitely kickstarted something new/different at Tigers, but purely on playing terms I am fairly disappointed in his output. I find Api about 100x more effective / inspirational and he would be on less coin.

Worse than the 74-0 game in 2023 vs Cowgboys? One of the most heartless ones I ever saw was 2008 vs Parramatta. It was "only" 44-6 but Parra didn't play finals footy that year. We had Danny Galea and Bronson Harrison starting props in an forwards injury crisis, classic Sheens. I remember such...

BUT My expectation is you don't let in 70 points just because you copped a run of bad calls. Until that is fixed there's no point dreaming about Finals footy because in the Finals you often get just 1 chance and you have to compete despite the bad calls. Fair enough bad calls, momentum...

You stay and you help fix it, if you truly love the club. That's why I'll always give Benji his dues; Benji also messed up by signing with rugby, went around the league to finish his career, matured and came back to help the Tigers.
