Likewise, i never watch replays of games we lose (and I miss live) but I watched the storm game based on everyone's feedback here and was impressed. Unfortunately we lost it due to a few individual mistakes but as a team we did fantastic. I have a great feeling about newcastle, like we're...

Or we grow our own (like we are) and we get them during their prime years with some loyalty to boot!

Players should have to pass an IQ test before they can sign a professional NRL contract

Yeah i saw it, i don't recall seeing him tho, just hearing him talk... absolute buffoon.

Taaffe can sit this one out

Tracey without question. Taaffe has done some 'good' things, but still too many shit errors to warrant a garuanteed start. Tracey is a natural there and should be first on the team sheet every week unless injured.

Still does some bizarre things but he's definitely building something so I'm happy to be patient. We really shouldn't have lost tonight or against Souths, if we get a bit of luck in either game we're sitting at 4 wins and we're all losing our minds.

So annoyed we lost to these vermin. Would love nothing more than them going 0-10

No he doesn't... Sign him up for another 5 years minimum

Clearest send off you can get, young had no remorse either. He's definitely embracing the roosters culture

Yep, was at the game and right Infront of me. Biggest load of shit. Could not believe he got put on report too

Burton* lol

That's the button effect

We will find out later in the year. If we cop an injury to kikau we'll be in trouble. I'd love just a different framed forward that really takes a few players to bring down every hit up.. a Paulo style prop would do wonders to our team

He'll be dead by then

All I want is a Geoff Toovey style meltdown.. just please one doggies coach just fkn launch and pull out a list of all the bullshit calls we've copped over the last 4 years. It's embarrassing. How nikorama or whatever his name is remained on the field after that targeted head shot on kiks is...

We can never build momentum because we are constantly being reffed out of the contest. Unless it's an obvious penalty (crusher) we don't get anything. They can take our full back out in the air and get the ball no issues, we do it and we're immediately penalised

5 rounds, if he doesn't improve or get involved I'd drop him as I don't see him being fit to be anything else in the main team. The flat earther can do his 5th tackle ineffective bombs there

Let's face it, most people hate their jobs but need the cash. Some Footy players are just fortunate enough to get a decent contract that sets them up for life if they're smart with it. I'm of the opinion the maximum contract length should be 3 years and heavily incentivesed so that players are...

Another dud call. She's got to be high on something

It's almost as if we've been told to never mention the refs or we'll have a points deduction (lol) or huge fine.

Hearing gutherson speak reminded me how much I hate the eels and the NRL in general. The whinging that he and that bitch Moses will be hurling at the ref again makes me want to hurl at how pathetic this game has become

Lost a lot of weight thanks to the injury... Hope it doesn't hurt his impact

Terry Lamb

Anyone going to knotfest? still underwhelmed at the line up and the costs.. plus spent so much on shows recently (Blind guardian, Katatonia, Inflames and Kreator)... still undecided tho cause I love a day out with proper music.

As soon as Burton admitted he was a flat earther I knew he was done, you can't be a captain and be that stupid

I agree, even his worst games for penrith he made an impact. He's a pure athlete and best in his position at 23... kudos to whoever got him over the line as he could have gone anywhere and for a lot more dare i say it.

It has to be one of the most useless jobs in the country

If he's not showing up to training then he's breaching his contract so why would we pay him?

Not surprised, he's mates with SBW afterall.

If there is no improvements in the sharks trial and if Cameron has balls he should drop him to the bench and use him as a utility / 18th man for the start of the season. He needs a rocket up his ass.

Must be listening to Joe Rogan and is on that carnivore diet

Can't help but think how the headline would read if it was us. Probably players stood down, club fines, club to start season -10 points for bringing game into disrepute etc

A lot of pressure on Sam Hughes this year... Can he keep up with these insane standards his team mates are setting??

Dessie can enjoy being sued for a change!

Then by round 3 you're saying the seasons already over and looking forward to the next one haha

He'll still be there round 1!

I just heard the flat earth section (first time I tried listening I had to stop after 10 minutes). I cannot believe what I've heard honestly what the actual FK...

We're the bulldogs mate we never get the 50/50s

I'm not entirely worried about the size of our forwards, i'm worried about depth. Assuming King and Knight are our starting front rowers... if either go down injured for any extended period of time, we are royally screwed. As others mentioned, the strong clubs will have us by half time and...

Can't believe we even bother printing this shit as news.

Ideally Tolman on the 4th and an ineffective kick either out on the full or caught in goal

When our starting front rowers get injured our last place spot will be cemented

Matt Utai

Merry Xmas kennel fam, I hope all our dreams come true for 2024 (I know what everyone's dream is)

I'd rather pay critta, our future captain and an absolute beast of a player 925k than home sick boy AFB. Plus there is no chance he survives the length of the contract healthy at the sharks. He'll be an expensive mistake for them and fortunately it's not us

That's what it costs for the lower teams to try to compete. If roosters signed him it would have been for only 600k Glad we didn't get him at that price... it's insane for someone who lets be honest, won't have the drive or body after this season to be worth that much.

He'll be reinstated for next season for sure (unfortunately)

Melt

Injured until January, doggies signing prerequisite!

Yeah, it was just downloading the file as pdf... i spoke to a mate who told me to download an app called Stocard.. retried and it automatically added it as a digital card.. thank goodness..

I opted out of physical card to get digital pass, i then get an email with my tickets but they want me to print it off myself or use the 'passwallet' app which is fkn useless... anyone else tried just scanning the card from the PDF at the games? It says on the ticket it won't work doing that -...

Bitter taste in my mouth from the way he departed last time, was sure he was a one club pup but he supposedly bailed due to family reasons... when we all know it was because of the board and some sponsor at the time who had a dig at him. I still reckon hes a bulldog at heart and he'd help us...

He has a podcast? Imagine hearing brah every 3rd word? Would have to be one of the worst ones out there... Which btw, why are so many footy players doing pod casts now? It's tiresome hearing the same stories and 'opinions' of meat heads

Anyone seen the channel 9 news alert just then? Said Bulldogs bombshell with Addo carr in the video. 6pm news

We're usually specials signing injured players / pea hearts.. may be a blessing

I see good old nick politis has been selling a heap of apartments he owns (135mil worth), i wonder how many roosters players are picking up a nice place for dirt cheap

Until we hear the full story, I'm on rays side. Something doesn't add up and I'd blame Ciraldos man management over Ray 'being toxic'. Sounds more like ray being captain went to Ciraldo with feedback from the team and is now being held accountable for doing what his team mates asked.

Ray wouldn't be tackling nor taking a hit up..

I want it to make sense... it can't just be purely on his form (which was probably impacted by what was happening behind closed doors)... From crying in his captain video earlier this year to now being banished and banned from coming to training..? Did he bang another players wife or...

Welcome to the club lads, i hope you succeed and help bring us back to our former glory!

I just remembered we paid Thompson like 850k.. so this sounds cheap when I think of it that way lol

That type of coin for a prop is insane to me. I know we desperate but I don't think it's a good long term investment. We really are stuffed for forwards though

Would love him but I hate this excuse for breaking a contract

They're probably worried they may not exist by then and don't want to have to pay out another person their contract

He does tho....

Can someone remind me when was the last time clubs did a swap? Like wests and storm a few seasons a go? I strongly doubt this is true.

Penrith shouldn't be allowed to have a pre season

Scored one of our better tries of the year, thanks for the service waddell, all the best.

We've needed a longer mental break...

Go Geoff Toovey

Just like last year and the years before, I have a great feeling about next season....... So I'll let the auto renewal go thru and send me one step closer to bankruptcy

He can sue NSW after losing too!

Just bought a new house in Belmore than wants out? Give me a break

I pray laundy gives Ivan and his son a pub each to join us

Happy for cogger, felt he was a good player at the wrong time with us. Would love him to come back here.

Just like we thought we would

Imagine it was the dogs who just won 3 on the bounce? Honestly these Penrith fans better appreciate what they've got cause some people go their entire lives workout seeing one.

He's only 22 as well. We've got a gem

Impressive! is that currently as in just recently stats or pre doping scandal stats? I saw him at the belmore game against the broncos, lad looked like he was still juicing he was that big

I'd be weary of getting anymore panthers... the hunger for success (especially if they win the 3rd this weekend) will be completely gone. You've literally won a 3 peat in modern nrl history... it likely doesn't happen again for a very long time... until roosters get their new hat at least anyway.

You are right, botched figures. Re-checked here: https://www.nrl.com/draw/?competition=111&season=2023&team=500011 Suncorp x 13 (including semis) Gabba x 3 CBUS x 1 Townsville x 1 Belmore x 1 Canberra x 1 Cronulla x 1 Darwin x 1 NZ x 1 Penrith x 1 Bye x 3 So 17 games in or around...

I'm sure he still had a great time out here regardless.. who wouldn't?

If Xerri is within 5 seconds of the Foxx over 100m at his current weight we have a true freak joining our squad

3 sounds like too many for Broncos... Checking the draw, this is what they've had: Suncorp x 16 games Queensland x 4 (cowboys / titans) 1 x Darwin 1 x Melbourne 1 x NZ 1 x Belmore 1 x Cronulla 1 x Canberra Mind you, average break between games is 7 days.

I have a feeling the refs are going to smash penrith. The NRL probably don't want one club winning 3 in a row. Expect at least 3 more touch downs in the first quarter

If that exact forward pass happened against us in a grand final, costing us the game (for arguments sake), how would you react / what would you do?

Sorry excuse of a competition

Yep, hats off to them. They are unstoppable. The fact they've kept losing key players but they continue to be so consistent and dominate is a testament to their juniors. I can't hate them for denying the two clubs I hate the most premierships in recent years. Broncos next on the list

Even with 900k more to spend in their cap then the next club they're still getting pumped. Eat a dick Bellamy and storm!

The week off this time of the year is the biggest factor, regardless of 'form'. Penrith and Broncos will be too fresh and won't run out of steam in the last twenty like the Storm and Wahs will. It's unfortunate but that's how the cookie crumbles.

David Furner lasted a year https://www.zerotackle.com/reason-behind-david-furners-axing-revealed-162651/ Surely some of these 'coaches' won't be able to get a gig again? What's that for him 5 clubs in as many years?

Didn't Mann get injured the other day? He'll fit right in!

Penrith could win with their cup team

Corey Allan

I thought we had finally got ourselves a Vagana replacement after that tigers game in round 2 where he was immense. Then he turned to absolute shit for the rest of the season. Definitely needs a large spell in Reggie's again to learn to tackle

It's just sweetener for his cruiser!

This isn't spoken about enough. Whenever I see gal I remind him he's a cheat and his club should be relocated.

So in summary... 50 games, 7 tries and 14 assists...

Surely it's mind games!
