    Aus vs Tonga

    Agree. I think Katoa was unlucky with two big plays - the 40/20 and the grubber for Guac, both conceding seven tackle sets, both game changers if they go his way. Whilst his inexperience showed, he never stopped trying especially as Lolohea was very underwhelming, surely they've got a better...

    Jacob Liddle

    Yep, l think he's been signed as a Mr Fixit. 1st choice #14 covering 9, 13, halves and centres (at a pinch).

    2025 MWSE Memberships

    Agree. And we don't know what we get for $60 so l'll wait. As l mentioned before, kids/teenagers want things that they can see and feel and show off (proudly). A members cap, posters/stickers, key ring, membership card - easy for $60. Make them want to be members now and you can have them for...

    No Room for DCE or Jake in Aussie squad

    Yeah l agree. He'd have a lot more integrity if he just said so, he could've put some spin on it but to say what he did, we could all see through it. Surely if he knew what questions the media were asking, he'd have a better answer than that. The media were soft and just asked the obvious...

    No Room for DCE or Jake in Aussie squad

    Nah, I was across it. Meninga's reasoning for leaving him out was ridiculous when anyone who watches footy knows he's not "just a fullback" especially in rep sides. Surely Teddy, DCE and Ponga are in the best 21 players available.

    2025 MWSE Memberships

    I spoke to someone from the membership team last year in regards to the add on pack. They seemed to have missed an opportunity here - there's a basic "Eaglet" membership for babies and one for your pet (like WTF?) but nothing for kids/teenagers to just "be members". They like to have tangible...

    Turbo Australia

    I didn't say he plays anywhere near his best when injured. He doesn't, but he's still better than most because at 100% he's the best in the game imo. I said he's a walk up start in any rep team and then you kind of backed it up with the confidence he gives those around him. He's should be in...

    2024 GRAND FINAL

    I was happy with it, l thought they put enough purchase on the ball to call "intent". We ( & the bunker ) can never be 100% on the intent to strip or not and the players know it but it situations like that let's just say the defender doesn't put his hand there by mistake.

    Turbo Australia

    A 60% fit Turbo is still a walk up start for any rep team.

    No Room for DCE or Jake in Aussie squad

    Yep, l don't know how Meninga keeps his job. In his presser today, talks about looking ahead to 2026 World Cup yet can't find a spot for Ponga. He only sees him as a fullback so no room in the squad, WTF? One specialist winger - Coates The other winger wants to play centre - Lomax First choice...

    No Room for DCE or Jake in Aussie squad

    Interesting squad. A nod to the future which is understandable with no Teddy or DCE but with Grant and Robson as the hookers l don't see the reasoning for Hunts inclusion. Moses, Deardon and Burton cover the halves so l can't see why he's there. Am l missing something? Isn't it 2-3 games?

    Lodge, you Monster

    Interesting that in the article he says "best case scenario is someone believes in me and offers a multi year deal..." Hello! Maybe the best case scenario is on the table. Two years is multi years isn't it? And saying l've got bills to pay and four mouths to feed...wasn't his Warriors deal...

    The incentives being to play more than 12 games a year and see out your contract would be a good start!

    2024 GRAND FINAL

    My terminology for it is "sinkhole". Eg - when Souffs and Parra play each other and my son asks "who do we want to win this game?" My reply is "sinkhole" ( as in l hope a sinkhole opens up under the ground and swallows both teams and their supporters into the abyss and we'll never see or hear...

    2024 Dally M points

    The ineligibility for suspensions is farcical really. The overall winner can have a suspension but not the rookie or positional winners (which are based on opinion, not points accumulated). Especially Rookie of the year, if you're the deemed the best then so be it, it's not like they can ever...

    Lodge, you Monster

    Yep, and it's not like he'd be a poster boy for sponsors to be able to top up with TPA's.

    Jake Arthur

    I wouldn't be so sure of that. Whether you think he's a rep player or not, he's in the Kangaroos ( and Blues ) squad as a front rower. Sieb's started to diminish his minutes this year so maybe the writing is on the wall. The start at lock and move to front row without a rest for 80 minutes is...

    Lodge, you Monster

    I don't think he can. Unless it's changed, to be eligible as an import player in the ESL he must've played at 50% of games in the immediate season prior. Something like that anyway. So his options are limited imo.

    Lodge, you Monster

    This doesn't include his 9 games this season. With a record like this including 2 x ACL's l'd say $150k for two years is fair.
