Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

They should fight the charge and try and lose.

Wins all round; Seyfarth removes all prior loading and we don't have to see him on the field for the rest of the year!

In the fair dinkum stakes, to have him cop that charge and Crichton zero is just the NRL protecting their own call.

Slipping or not, Crichton engaged in moderate to high force contact as he crouched and launched into May aggressively, which would've been a great shot... if May didn't slip. But we've been told all along that the onus is on the defending player, considering the conditions, maybe he should've shown more care for what could happen with a tackle like that.

Seyfarth's force was less, despite having no excuses and getting him flush, but with less impact.

Sua'ali'i on Walsh in Origin last year showed that slipping means zero.

So it seems hard to argue that Crichton hasn't been lucky, particularly in direct comparison to Seyfarth's charge, both on and off field.

If it is just the case that the officials have since adjusted to allow for more leniency in the case of a falling player, and this is a permanent and consistent change to how they're judged moving forward, then I can live with that.

N.R.L is a clown comp.

Weeks after signing a new contract with the Wests Tigers for the 2026 season,Charlie Murray has reportedly been made available and offered to multiple teams, casting doubt over his future.

One of the feel-good stories of the season at the Wests Tigers, Murray made his NRL debut just under two months ago after being brought down to Sydney at the beginning of the year on a train-and-trial contract.

This from back in April:

A second brawl erupted at a rugby league match within three days with two people assaulted including a woman being knocked unconscious following Canterbury’s win against Newcastle on Sunday night.

A 21-year-old woman was knocked unconscious while a man, also 21, was assaulted trying to protect the woman. The woman was taken to Concord Hospital for treatment for facial injuries and to undergo further testing while the man did not require hospital treatment.

The brawl erupted after the game on Sunday night at Accor Stadium. It followed a violent fight inside the same venue just three days earlier during the South Sydney and Roosters clash.

Detectives investigating have released photos of eight people – four men and four women- they want to speak to. All are described as being of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern in appearance and aged in their 20s.

They are described as;

• A man of medium build, with black hair, black beard, black glasses, wearing a hooded jacket,

• A man of large build, with a black beard, no moustache, wearing a black and white hat, light-blue hooded jumper, black pants and black sneakers,

• A man of large build, with ear-length black hair, full black beard, wearing black shorts, white shoes, a black and white checkered jacket with a football jersey around his neck,

• A man of medium build with black hair faded at the rear, goatee-style beard, wearing a football jersey, black pants and white shoes,

• A woman of medium build, wearing a beige headscarf, black glasses, a black football jersey, black pants and a long-sleeved black shirt underneath the jersey,

• A woman of medium build, wearing a navy headscarf, black shirt, black pants, black and white sneakers,

• A woman of medium build with red hair who was wearing a white football jersey, a football scarf, blue jeans and black shoes,

• A woman of small build with mid-length black hair who was wearing a blue football jersey, blue jeans and white shoes.


Further to that heres a comment from a Knights supporter who was at the game below:

"Grubs - I was there as a knights fan with my daughter (9) we were swore at and screamed at. [This word has been automatically removed]ing disgrace. Bunch of grubs" .

It's shame for the Dogs, because they have genuine passionate fans too, but I think it would be fair to say they probably have a larger share of grub supporters than all the other clubs.

** Having seen the images in a news article, take it as fact anything referred to as a football jersey was a Bulldogs football jersey.**

Only real prob with AD and I love the guy he's all heart, he just hasn't been able to string a season of consistent football togeather yet. He's had horrendous injuries he's fought back from. He's in a purple patch of form atm, my concern and alot of others concern is he signs the new deal and his form drops off a cliff. He just struggles to find a long patch of real consistent football.

I agree with all that, but is there a player in our side that is consistent?

To me the question is, is there a better player to take his spot? If he’s keeping out Latu after Latu has had a few games in the 7, why is Latu a better option next year? He may need another year before he’s ready.

Well this is odd. We just upgraded him and now are shopping him around?

They need the spot for AD?

I find the NRL and its blatant game managing employees and tactics offensive every single game I watch. It’s a commercial business 1st and foremost that is just so obviously corrupt. 2nd half set restarts and leg up city with the objective of golden point (ratings gold $$) or at the very least keeping all fans believing they’re “in the race”. It hasn’t been about football since 2006 when they “shortened the 10” mid season and made it a wrestle to keep the flag wavers happy and paying. I can remember the first week of it, Parra had been flying and Cronulla were busted and getting 40 put on them regularly (if my memory serves me). Sure as sh!t, what’d ya know, GOLDEN POINT!!
I can still hear Sterlo’s sell out Chanel 9 sponsored voice… “Oh how good is rugby league”..
Disgraceful 🤢🤮
Ah well, they reckon everyone’s got a price.

It’s an easy solution, re-sign Doueihi as our regular 7, Latu to develop while being our regular number 14, so he’s still playing valuable NRL minutes every week and keeping the pressure on Doueihi and Luai to perform.
I could be wrong, but I don’t think Latu has a big ego and I think he’s happy to bide his time as our regular number 14 and help our team progress in the right direction.

Yes. Benji said as much at his press conference and Latu has also said he is happy with this.

While it's not professional I wouldn't be disappointed to see this. Think Lanyon offers more upside long term as a lock/hooker utility backup.
