I will be spewing if Flanagan is appointed assistant. Another Moses client, no thank you. He would white ant Benji and become our head coach, at which point we become another Isaac Moses player farm.

What is the Magpie on the FG jersey doing for us? Is it producing more talented juniors? Is it making players want to stay with us longer? Does it being there make us an exorbitant amount of money? HBG would rather spend valuable meeting time arguing over the size and placement of the Magpie...

Only things they care about are themselves and making sure the Magpie has proper representation on the jersey.

If Kalyn Ponga can beat Penrith he will ascend into legend status. That was an insane performance from him against the Warriors. People forget that this guy is one of the best players in the game when he is not injured. Absolute superstar. Kiwi hooker Phoenix Crossland had like 5 or 6 effort...

Both things can be true.

While I'm glad he's gone, I still don't think he was a bad signing. He got a few players to sign here and mentored a few young blokes on how to be a professional. He wasn't playing well enough to justify his pay, but his departure has freed up pathways for our young guns, and allowed re-signing...

Titans have a huge junior nursery with some of the best young players coming out of their catchment areas. I mean they literally have two of the most famous rugby league schools, Keebra Park and Palm Beach Currumbin, sitting right there. But kids go through there and end up elsewhere. Somewhat...

I feel like our top 15-16 is actually not that bad. We don't have a genuine star, but those guys are pretty solid and would fit in most NRL teams. The fall off after that is pretty big though.

So what you're saying is we have to wait until 2030 before we can have hope again.

Neither of them are a game manager.

Great news. He has some serious talent despite his defensive woes. Being able to put your winger away with a simple draw and pass is an underrated skill.

At the start of the season the good teams like the Roosters accept losses in the name of honing their style. After 3 rounds Roosters had made a million errors and weren't looking that flash. But they stuck to their processes, improved, and they had a great season. The physical week to week...

Thought we played better in the last month with little dramas and players starting to come back from injuries. Benji deserves some grace. He can coach. I am worried about the incoming assistant coach, whoever that may be. I hope the hBG don't push for an appointee who will undermine Benji, like...

Yeah don't care about his drug usage if he's not hurting anyone. Driving while high is a no-no, could kill somebody depending how high he is.

The bye round was good when it started. James Graham's CTE must have kicked into full gear at some point cause it feels like his takes went off the deep end.

It's already on its way. I don't think league will ever beat out the All Blacks in terms of popularity, but the level below it will have better ratings and player numbers within 10-15 years. Something about the media coverage of rugby union in NZ is that it is so, so, SO BORING. You could put a...

As an adult, almost none of it is worth watching anymore. Anything good eventually gets turned into a gambling sponsorship. I don't know if The Fan is still around, but I think I would've loved that as a kid, same with League Life or whatever the interview show is called. The long-running shows...

It hurts reading that and agreeing. He's one of the best blokes ever but it's time he chose a different path.

Putting my tinfoil hat on, we have 19 teams confirmed for 2028. There will definitely be a 20th team. There is a huge push for another Queensland team. A second New Zealand team is also a strong option, but there is no chance of the competition going to more than 20 teams. How can we fit both...

Hm...well I'm nervous about who comes next. Somehow I feel HBG will push to bring in someone to butt heads with Benji.
