Probably the first time in twenty years I’ve seen someone have the smarts to play to the whistle. Brooks deserves credit for that alone.

@CarltonDry said in Benji Marshall:

At the awards night it was interesting that Benji thanked Ivan for bringing him back and didn’t mention Madge at all. Again Maguire loses the dressing room so it would be a brave club to extend his contract when players are going backwards and recruitment of top players is non existent during his 2 years.

It wouldn’t be brave at all. It would be sensible. Note to players - the coach runs the show. No more boys club.

@MAGPIES1963 said in Matterson unhappy at Tigers?:

But @tigeress if the guy really doesn’t want to be here for ‘whatever’ the reason is, forcing him to stay and play Reggies as some have suggested ain’t gonna do anyone any good.

We let an un-happy player go and replace him with someone that wants to play for Madge and knows full well all the other conditions re $$$ etc etc etc. results in a much happier player than Matterson will apparently ever be here and a much happier/settled club and Forum :fa-smile-o:

A win-win situation all round

Get off the grass. It’s not Hippyville. Business is business and this is a big deal. This bloke is pushing the envelope and deserves nothing but a painful, difficult transition.

@balmain-boy said in THE AMBUSH - Show Your Stripes..:

Good idea - terrible name. The Ambush - show your stripes? Seriously? sounds like marketing done by a 10 year old.

The Streak. Show your scars.

Not sure how many would turn up to that though.

Seriously, is there anything on this forum that is immune from knocking?

What a great initiative. Super well done to all involved.

Let’s hope the big O lifts his game next year because he was dead set rubbish this year

he had Fifita and Haas getting most of the carries and his wife was also battling cancer so that’s one way he’s performance could have been effected.

Been carried by a very good pack …we wll find out the hard way …again

There pack was ordinary apart from Haas.
Offa on his day can outplay any forward. Big motor too…like the pick ip alot.

Look back since he has started …Thaiday …Gillett …Fifita …Jaydn Sua …Essesse…Arrow …ordinary …lol

It’s quality right. I don’t know. I’m not sold on this signing. I hope it works out for us.

People are going to expect his signing as a pack leader like Josh was in 2020 …he isn’t that man …sorry …If Aloiai was a qlder he would of got chosen ahead of Joe O in 2019

You don’t like Joe and over rate Aloiai, I totally disagree with all you have said

Happy_tiger has the most ironic name on here. Seems eternally miserable.

I learned long ago, that when youre looking for that dream car or house or whatever, you usually miss out on a few. But another always pops up, and when it does, it turns out you’re pretty happy with how things work out. I really don’t see much of a difference with Mitchell. Feet up folks, grab a beer and cross your fingers if you need to. There’s nothing you can do to change the the end result. Typing compelling reasons as to why he should have signed or why he hasn’t is probably only gonna add to your angst. Enjoy the weekend if you can.

Pot calling kettle black much?

I thought it was pretty simple really. Don’t be a knob and you get to stick around. Or has that rule changed?

The journos must be absolutely hating all this good news coming out of the tigers of late. Buzz and Crawley especially. Suck it up fellas!

@Elderslie_Tiger said in Player Dramas in the NRL Off-Season (Silly Season):

The NRL has imposed a sanction of one month’s suspension on Penrith Panthers player Brent Naden following the conclusion of anti-doping processes conducted by Sport Integrity Australia and the NRL.

Naden did not contest a Notice of Alleged Anti-Doping Rule Violation in relation to positive samples for Benzoylecgonine and Methylecgonine (metabolites of Cocaine) collected from him following the NRL Grand Final on 25 October 2020.

Having established that the ingestion of the cocaine was out-of-competition and not for performance enhancing purposes, Naden is sanctioned in accordance with new provisions of the incoming World Anti-Doping Code 2021 which permit a one-month period of ineligibility for qualifying athletes who also undertake an approved rehabilitation program. The sanction will come into effect on 1 January 2021 with the commencement of the new WADA Code.

In accordance with the WADA Code, Naden’s one-month period of suspension is backdated to the date of his provisional suspension and he will be eligible to return to training and competition on 1 January 2021.

The sanction issued to Naden concerns the anti-doping breach only and any other related matters will be reviewed in the new year. The Panthers and the NRL will continue to provide support to Naden.

Cool, so snort coke and all’s sweet, but pretend to shag a dog or pretend to be drinking from
a selfie bubbler and you’re gone big time. Makes sense.

One game off the bench in a losing side never to be seen again. Perspective helps. Nice guy, but I’m hoping Seyfarth goes better than big Keith.

After listening to the top 10 of the hottest 100. I agree, the wiggles deserved to win. Lol

Totally! Music has fallen off a cliff these days. I mean seriously fallen off a cliff. I’ve just heard from my daughter that JJJ hottest 100 no. 1 for the year was the wiggles doing a cover blended with fruit salad, yummy yummy. I have no words.

And your parents would’ve said the same thing about your generation’s music and so on and so forth.

I listen to more music released now than any era before me because I’m young. Everyone’s biased towards the era of music they grew up in because that was the trending sounds of the time.

No. Not at all factual. I have a love of music - not generational music. But the rubbish that is produced and fed to us now is bloody appalling at best imo.

Definitely needs more respect on his name.

Keith was a cult hero

Keith was very average… a constant grimace on his face scared nobody.

Haven’t the Storm won first round in something like around a thousand years? I can’t see a win first up. Our draw this season is a beauty though all things considered.

16 years in a row Storm have won their first game of the season.

16 is close to a thousand right? Would be nice to grab a sneaky win and watch Bellyache pop a fuse.

We all have an artist that we can’t stand. For me, it was this guy. Couldn’t stand his music.
