He kicked badly and plays clunky, not as bad as Hutchison but not great. and please toss Salmon back in the sea, he was horrible. Two of his missed tackles directly led to the last try

Just imagine if they could attack well in both halves of a game. Burton kicked awful tonight, Connor can stay at Fullback all year

don’t they always, even via ‘creative’ means

The club fought the Hughes tackle and lost. This was a tackle where he didn’t hit him high, the arms weren’t pinned and the head didn’t hit the ground. There’s a hundred or more tackles that fit these criteria every game yet because it looked like a head slam, they pinged him. It helped the...

My read was Dom was playing badly and hurt, was frustrated, wanted to try and make an impact with a strong tackle, tallest guy on the field vs the shortest, and it all went very wrong.

They didn’t score enough to take it out of the refs hands. It’s shit we don’t get these calls, but it’s been going on for a decade or so now. Do better in attack, we lost the the team coming last

Lead with hips to the head boys, they’re legal apparently

Home team at Belmore that smashed the opposition yet got smashed by ref in penalties … typical. fuck ‘em, great win, Boyd needs to be assessed for PTSD

Bored Burton, counting all his cash Bored Burton, not bothered to take a dash Bored Burton, plays in a dinner suit Bored Burton, will never get the boot

Nice to see Hutch continue this team’s stupidity. He’s not Robinson Crusoe out there but how many times does he take a standard hit up on the 5th? He doesn’t step, hole run or dummy, just straight into the defence leaving us with one available half (Bored Burton thinking about all the cash he’s...

Ciro must be the only person who would think Salmon should start over Curran. Including Salmon.

Interested in the golden paycheck is about it

Eel’s should’ve put 40 on us, Moses’ groin worth 14 points I guess

Salmon is Elliott 2024

So zero attack done in preseason?

Gee, attacking pass to Kikau then on to Critter and we score. What an ingenious play, not like it should have been tried before 71min or anything And Burton misses again. Paid too much to be this useless

Saved by our own incompetence FFS

Any one else see zero change from last year? Different players but same dumb shit, same nothing attack, same submission defence, same halves getting tackled on the 5th, same overpayed/underperforming primadonnas

100%. Waste of cash. Minding a spot until a Reggie’s forward is ready for FG.

Wasn’t the only time he rushed up but I’m hoping a quick fix by Ciro sorts that out. Regardless the trials showed spirited defence, here’s hoping they can keep it up all season. Would love nothing more than for Braith to choke on a slab of humble pie

His try line defence against the Peptides was awful, and most of his attack was stunted and full of self doubt. Really hoping he just had an off day, this game is set up to be another flat track bullying from the Eels

Hutchison didn’t look like a natural half last night, clunky, slow passes, hospital balls, running up past the ball in defence…can’t see how he’s our no.1 half option. Overall team needs big improvements to climb out of the bottom 3 which is where we are at the moment…again. At least the...

Specials for the spoon if they play like that this year. Attack was very clunky

Sexton will have to try pretty hard to do worse than Hutchison in this game…

Don’t talk. Do.

I don’t see how either side “wins” out of this (not sure what a “win” is at this point). But there can be no doubt the Drunk Dribbler is the biggest loser…fancy using a young guy’s mental health as clickbait.

Tigers already have 4 home grounds, they don’t need a fifth NSW govt won’t throw that sort of coin at a new stadium, certainly not out west. Too much unfunded transport infrastructure to take priority The excuse will be there’s already Homebush, they won’t care that it’s not a good place to...

They both suck. It’s like asking which club is more shit: Manly or St George…

Meh, who cares. Was wasting our cap, let him waste someone elses instead

Yup, usual over expectations on tk for inexperienced personnel. He’s been head coach for one season, a year earlier than Gould felt we were ready for (according to Gould anyway). After the cow’s terrible 2021 season the media were doomsdaying Payton’s career, yet he soon shut them up. No idea...

Sign up the one I got today, turned up within an hour of being called after the boy broke the gal garden tap pipe off at the ground with the mower. Cost me $400 of course

What legitimate options for front rowers that would make a serious difference was there for Gus to sign for 2024? Not the big shots that weren’t seriously leaving their club but were flashed in the news to get an extra few $100ks at their present club, not journeymen also rans looking to eke out...

Check the author of the story, the lack of named sources, and the language used. Typical rugby league media story in the off-season, struggling to fill copy. May be something in it, may not be. I’m hoping the club aren’t going to offload one of the best wingers in the game because the media is...

But there is in dickhead…

So he gives up on his teammates, quits the club without completing his contract, and expects to be still treated like a teammate? Yeah ok.

Both had prominent chins as well

Exactly. Pennies pulled off that win without Luai, didn’t even look like they missed him. IMO, they don’t come close without Leota

All the best fellas, smash those chooks Here’s hoping for a Pickers/Dogs/Bears trifecta

I'm still hopeful the palaver about first graders complaining that training was too hard is bullshit or massively embellished. If its true, those players making those complaints whilst the Flegg players and coaches from the same club, on the same pitch, are carrying themselves so well should be...

A horrific injury cut short his career. Now Luke Vella is helping future stars begin theirs It’s Friday, April 4, 2014, and inside the away dressing sheds of the old Sydney Football Stadium, young rugby league player Adam Elliott turns to his Bulldogs teammates for the time-honoured rev-up...

Did Buzz just break a source’s request for anonymity by naming RFM as the player who complained about long days (on behalf of other Poly players)? With all the crap that’s out there I haven’t kept up with what’s been printed vs rumoured here on TK

This was the game to tell Knockonbur to wipe out the old man (what are they going to do, suspend him?), apart from Tino he was their main threat.

There’s a lesson here for the young players. If you find you can’t hack it at the dogs and get moved on, you’ll be sent with good graces…except if you talk shit about the club to the media; then you will get embarrassed with the truth.

Well, it’s over. Hopefully we here nothing but silence from the players until round 1 next year. Get fucked with talking shit up in preseason. Talk is cheap. Do.

Gee imagine if we could defend on our own line. Shouldn’t lose games that you score 30 points in

It’s taken 27 rounds and 72min but Hayze finally did something. Well done young man Great work fox

He can’t even intercept a ball without losing it

Averillo can’t even get injured properly. Fall down in the ruck you tool

No he didn’t

Yes burto, you did something!

We should be running fox at Schoupp all day

We may not have a choice with so little else available

That’s the third time today! fuck off Waddle go swing a shovel for a job

Pass to his fucking chest!!!

I take it Burton has practiced nothing but goal kicking this year, it’s the one thing he’s aced

Well done young man

Nice catch Waddle

That’s such a dumb rule. He can’t grubbed properly but we’ll treat it like he’s going for a field goal 5m out, 15m wide if the post

Because they’re too dumb to learn plays

When they go to feed the homeless, they can leave them there

They’re too dumb to be able wrap the ball in a tackle, too dumb to tackle one high one low, too dumb to consider Foran will dummy and run 10m from the try line, too dumb to not turn blind when getting back the 10, too dumb to realise a 2 point field goal trailing by 12pt is a stoopid play… If...

Juniors get taught don’t turn your back on the play. Fucking pelican

Aaanndd normal transmission resumes

So where the fuck has that been for two months. About time fox

Gee, high quality game this one

I’m not expecting much, he can’t make the knights run on side unless there’s injuries, and he’s surplus to their requirements. That being said, he’s better than the junk we’re tossing out this year and he works hard so will do a job for us

I hope every try we score tomorrow (if we score) has a wrestle as a try celebration

Fucking awesome. Compulsory listening for the whiners. If CC was belittling the slackers he may need to keep that in check but otherwise proceed with the hard work

A whole lotta words that said nothing. A group of other players named. In typical drunk dribbler style, written to sound like Davey said it but was added by the dribbler

Surely Ciro could’ve left them both out? IF Topine is who it is, of course

Judging by their performances, you’d think they’ve been on the piss for the last two months… Hope certain players use this to realise how fortunate they are and to stop wingeing (IF it actually happened)

IF its true that Ciro didn't inflict the wrestle until after training, it says to me he kept an eye on the players effort at training, and felt we wasn't putting in. Possibly it wasn't the first time he'd been late and Ciro did mention previous punishment attempts on players including money...

If they have a blinder, I’ll be annoyed knowing they could’ve been playing like that for the last two months instead of the half-arsed bullshit we’ve seen

Going for a draw, and nth QLD to get the upset and sneak into 8th ahead of both of them.[emoji6]

Don’t disagree we have what should be talent in 4-5 players…perhaps not the buy in though

This is what my daughters coach used to do. The only ones who didn’t like it were those that were 40kg wringing wet. And being juniors he only did it one on one, maybe did king (queen?) of the ring once or twice. I’ll be amazed if one session of this was the reason a player left. It pales to...

But that’s the important point: they’ve always had the talent. And it looks like they have buy in from the senior players this year. Two things we are lacking.

There’s some insanely talented people on TK. Fancy being able to accurately diagnose whether someone actually has a mental health issue by reading a couple of stories by rugby league media hacks. That is impressive… The guy could be bludging, or could be suicidal…No one on here actually knows...

The wrestling drill is one of my daughters favourite drills. If the coach told her to do it, she’d ask if she could do it twice. Obviously it’s juniors and not as physical but I’d expect a footy player would prefer it over doing laps or beep tests. The quote from an insider saying it’s brutal...

The whole line that the player couldn’t handle the punishment of wrestling 12 players because he’s soft is exactly the traction the media trolls are looking for to throw shit at the dogs IF the story is true, it mentions the player has been dealing with personal mental health issues. Maybe...

Great work Pinocchio, really sounded like a real coach in the presser. I was almost (ie. absolutely wasn’t) convinced. Unfortunately you’ve shown yourself to be a deadwood pretender by selecting the deadwood players. Again.

That was another case of Pinocchio trying to sound like a real coach, lying about putting Flegg players in. Tuesday arvo will yield a similar shit line up.

He gave it up cos the ref called him not square. So rather than tackle him and give up the penalty, allowing us to get a breather and reset, he let him go. Of course if he’d have marked up square, he could’ve tackled him (or pathetically tried anyway). Add him to the list of players that...

But that’s the difference: fans are passionate about how their team performs and they hate the opposition; it’s just a job for the players, the only consequence of losing is they get an early mark at the end of the season and it’s harder to make rep teams. Them joking and laughing with the...

You’d hope making them sit in the stands and watch Reggie’s get their arse handed to them would embarrass some effort into them, but the embarrassment of their own performances doesn’t work so that’s out Nah, they’re here for a paycheque, nothing more

“Training was elite this week”

Knights womens would get them, they run straight and tackle hard, our boys couldn’t handle that

He lost them a couple of months ago

Sounds like a job for tevita

At the Knights vs Sharks NRLW, and from the sounds of it I’m watching the better game

Is he better than Knockonmore? Well he provides more than a traffic cone, so it’s a yes in which case the team will be better than this year. Will he make a significant difference? time will tell but gut feel is not likely

Cos they’re all too dumb to stay on side

Any other year I'd be 100% on board, but with such a lack of available talent, the club will probably need to extend Waddle for a year or 2 (hopefully on the cheap). They may even need to do the same for Fanny if there's no other reggies hooker options. I'd prefer having a traffic cone on...

Well we're a mistake-a-thon in warm sunny weather, have a guess how well we'll go in the wet...

Look forward to sending big boppers (if we get any) his way when he's defending his line.

Which one can tackle harder? Either one is an upgrade to our bench...

Can we toss this in the "who gives a fuck" bucket? It has no relevance into how we are playing, no relevance into who we have signed, we aren't over the cap, there's no award for who isn't still paying ex-players...its just another nrl media parasite feeding on shit.

- Burto probably should keep his mouth shut about players making mistakes, at least until he learns to bloody tackle. - Since when is conceding 36 points good try line defence? - Knockonbur must be a crier when he gets criticism, they way he gets smoke blown up his arse all the time - Looking...

We might’ve gotten some rough calls but the boys beat themselves with dumb shit decisions and stupid mistakes. It is so sad to think how bad a player Critta will end up by the end of next year

Dumbest football side I’ve ever seen. Juniors included.
