What’s happening with Viliame Fifita? I thought he looked good and was apparently unsigned for next season so far.

Imagine if Latu who we got from them, turns out better than KK. And for a shitload less haha. Never go full dragon people! KK is a quality player but $5m for 5 years? Shiiit I wouldn’t take that gamble. They also still have many good young forwards so this is a strange decision imo.

Best spin ever lol. It means zero in the missed tackles stat. Btw, Munster, Grant and many other rep players are well above LG too. It’s a myth that he’s an awful defender.

This is a totally overstated and I don’t understand why when the stats are very clear. https://www.legz.com.au/nrl/players/stats/missed-tackles LG had the exact same stats as a player that many on here glaze hard - Ethan Strange. They’re both way below the worst players in defence too. Eta...

Josh Reynolds is the epitome of this. Never had a lot of natural talent but tried his arae off which allowed him to have a pretty decent career.

This sorta shit is why I always supported going after him. He’s committed to being the best player he can be and it’s only very early days in his career. He’s increased his sprint speed and he’ll continue to get stronger and more physical.

Hopefully they are officially recognised and have their funerals covered by government as well as grief services and financial help for their kids.

There’s the real mic drop @Doggystyle99

An even more direct example, the people who were driving past. They filmed it or got it on dashcam but simply drove past. They were describing it and were much younger than the old couple who were killed. I can’t blame them for not stopping immediately though as then what, more victims? They did...

Nothing wrong with dodgy smokes anyway. Fuck the government’s prohibitive tax. They forced the black market to become widespread. Hate to say it but they planned it very well. The main weak point was from street level, which may have ended up being how they were taken down? I know the cop that...

I’m no expert on theology and it’s a complex topic, but just saying Northern Ireland had trouble (and maybe still are?) with worshippers of the same deity (Catholic vs Protestant) so it is still a recent issue in Christian faiths too.

I am not muslim but what this fellow says should be spread far and wide!

Brought me to tears hearing her aunt describe her. I won’t mention specifics but I feel so much sympathy for her little sister, as I went through similar when I was a few years older than her. Decades on it still hurts.

Just thinking of the heroes on that day and the stark contrast of their outcomes. The married couple that tried to stop the older gunman in the beginning paid with their lives, while Ahmed looks like he will survive and become a millionaire. I doubt he was before being a tobacconist, but who...

GTD is going off! Might have to unignore for some entertainment.. nah this topic shouldn’t be seen as such.

Everyone except the indigenous are immigrants. Speaking as someone with almost entirely Anglo background. That’s why I don’t get why anyone non-indigenous has the nerve to claim this is their country and fuck off migrants etc. We’re all lucky to live here.

He has a tobacconist shop in Sutherland actually. Showed it on the news. It’s all black. Probably got the under the counter cigs lol.

exactly right mate especially that last sentence. The younger killer was just that apparently. He had no friends and lived at home. Isolated from society, consuming god knows what on the net. You know the rest. As was mentioned before it is too coincidental not to have some importance that it...

Well since discussing this aspect I have seen the premier adamantly deny that they come up short and there were examples he gave. Fair enough and considering one of the two cops injured was only on the job 4 months it’s too early to criticise their response. I was just basing it off that video...

I don’t know the details but they’re pretty strict as it is. Lots of people in Goulburn supermax on terrorism charges. Remember back when the cop was killed in Parra? Around that time they cracked right down on this stuff and put them away for not a lot. Another story of courage has come out...

Err because we knew that 5 days ago? Lol seriously man? We only learnt after the fact about the flags and their trip to Philippines. What do you expect, the government to track every muslim? Yeah that’ll go down well… Fact is the only question is what Asio knew about the links they found in the...

Albanese: This isn’t a time for politicing Howard: The prime minister should have done more Reporer: What exactly? Howard: Err he should have shown he was against it. Hanson: (in front of a grieving crowd near Bondi pavilion) Let’s get back to the Australia I grew up in.. *cautious and minimal...

I get your point bro but the simple fact I always think of, is how could the radicals carrying out a plan like this with mass casualties without guns or bombs (which these guys also had apparently)? The answer is they couldn’t. Maybe with a car as we’ve also seen become a trend, but they limit...

I acknowledge they aren’t trained for such situations but definitely man. Easy to say but honestly I would have thought most cops are at least trained to use long arms. Lining the **** up on the bridge with a rifle and scope could have ended it much sooner. All this will get looked at in a...

It is exactly that actually. Just think what would likely happen if they were freely available like in the states. The fact we haven’t had many mass killings using guns is because of the stringent laws. Now, some slip through the cracks like this **** and Martin Bryant, but the fact remains...

This is the thing mate, the NSW government in particular was always going on about different antisemitic attacks (usually vandalism iirc) and think they even enacted laws or toughened some to fight it? The same people whinging that they didn’t do enough probably think the jews shouldn’t have...

Yep, migrated from Syria about 10 years ago iirc. A shining example of how immigration isn’t the problem.

Just after a minute into the first video the **** on the bridge has his back to the cops (didn’t realise until now there were some on scene at this point) and they could have taken him out. A bit later he is shooting towards them though so dunno how long they had before made themselves known...

RIGHT ON!! Forget the misguided monsters that caused this atrocity. We should only think of the victims and what this legend did. I loved hearing from his cousins and maybe his brother, I cannot recall exactly, but they basically said he was just thinking about the people getting shot at and not...

This is how everyone should view it, not by perpetuating the hate of another race or religion. This was an attack on Australians and our way of life, which is one of the safest in the world. We can’t let the hate and division that these terror attacks aim to cause, fester and create more violence.

One donor gave $99,999. A billionaire from America apparently. Crazy stuff, but it shows how uncommon this level of courage is. To go after a guy shooting up people and you’re unarmed is next level bravery, craziness or both. I haven’t heard anything today, but the GFM was up to over $800k...

It was planned that’s for sure. They rented an airbnb in Campsie as their base. The mother could have easily not known about the guns. You assume she stood there watching them pack. Not that it’s an important detail. The investigation into the younger terrorist being know to ASIO as connected...

Whodafuck is Joshua Wong?

Give me what you’re smoking bruh!!

Just hate on hate on more hate man. Fuck this sickness.

Mate I am sitting here reading it and thinking wtf has the government got to do with it? They’ve been preaching anti-hate and fighting the antisemitism that has been rife in Australia lately, in an effort to prevent this sort of attack. If these people criticising the government are doing so...

Not the only one tbh. It’s why I don’t participate in most political threads on here often. The hatred and division many people sow all over the internet may seem trivial or whatever, but it just fuels this mindset of us against them. I don’t see why people feel the need to take sides? We’re...

850k is less than 1m plus. Hth

He may well end up there, now we have Galvin and Woods is not far away. Whatever is best for the team! Iirc Burto’s second game at centre this year he killed it, so he still has the potential. Get Galvin feeding him good ball and he could be as effective as the year he won dally m centre. A...

This is basically my thought. Everyone knows he lacks in some areas but is fairly solid and reliable. Clearly, if the opportunity presented to sign someone better, we should take it. Bula or Drinkwater may be on the market and some would definitely take them over Tracey. I would prefer Bula I...

Looks alright for an 18/19 yo imo. See Sam Walker for example.

Well all good then. A young hyped up kid has never failed to live up to the hype before!

I’m sick to death of everyone pumping up Ryles when he does stuff like this. Paying that much when you don’t have your 5/8th locked in for years is risky. They signed a Pezet cuck rental deal, so he’s not gonna be it. They tried Joash there, surprise surprise he isn’t a five eighth. Lomax walked...

A message to Flange..

Very interesting. We know that Young and Sua are top 30 now and it’s good to have a clearer picture of where some of the other youngsters are at. Weird that Jethro is still on the D list yet has played much more NRL than Sua. I always thought Sua would be ahead of him, but I guess there’s...

He’s getting released after starting preseason is he? Fmd the shit on here…

I don’t know how you could think that when he’s only played about 30-35 games there. He has played around 90 in other positions.

I’ve had the same thought. Different styles of player but both recruited from Penrith and both enforcers.

Yeah but how shit is Burton bro?! I reckon Galvin and the kid who is yet to play NRL are heaps better.

That’s just one reason for it. It’s also better for the many varied uses it requires. Having something that works better across all sorts of applications (from digital, different devices (namely phones) merchandise etc) is the idea. They want to avoid having to use different variants, for...

I don’t mind it at all. I didn’t like it when it released but didn’t hate it either. Now, I am actually between indifferent to actually liking it and just to your point, I bought this year’s away jersey recently and was looking at the emblems on it. I don’t particularly like them either so… To...

Until mid next year when all the “Woods is shit we should have kept O’Neill” or some crap.

I totally agree, it’s surprisingly low but that’s all it is to me, a surprise. Because when I watch the games he is one of the last players I think of, who doesn’t do enough. Is he perfect or a top 3 five eighth? No, but nor should anyone expect him to be when he is on a modest salary for his...

That’s exactly right @Alan79 hence my post. If you want to look at another extreme example, Scott Drinkwater was one of the highest in try assists, yet majority of Cows fans I’ve seen commenting on him, want him gone. Why would that be? Oh I don’t know because there’s nmore to the game than how...

This joint is worse than facebook fmd.

I reckon mamasmakingkantong is definitely here for at least a bench hooking role. From what I’ve seen of him, he has plenty of potential with his darting from dummy half.

Can’t believe what a champion person we have been blessed with. Most of us only knew that he was an elite player, but he has shown he is also a born leader. At what, just 25? fark moi. Imagine the next few years and what his leadership will bring. Signed until 2031, making him a Bulldog til at...

Yep, even after ignoring many, there’s still plenty of other insufferable ***** to put up with.

4 tRy AsSiSts… Using this as your ammo just shows people that know nothing. Just have to look at these highlights to realise try involvements are more important. Digging into the line and holding the pass up, gives space for the outside men. A tale as old as time yet blokes that have been...

Just watched this and am rock hard. A full preseason with LG in the 7 and Heyward the 9 and Woods on the verge of debuting. 2026 is gonna be sick.

Go back and watch the highlights of that game bro. Was a semi or late regular season game where he beat a known speedster. Surprised me with pace on that run. I’ll try to find it. In this video, he shows good speed around 1 min, 12:30 and 20:45. I was thinking of that last one probably. P.S...

Gus with the goated Willy Wonka meme lol

Tracey is a good ctr/wing. Nothing wrong with replacing him with a better fb and use him where we’re a bit lacking.

Gus and Pappy handshake deal.

On this episode of every thread becomes Burton…

Didn’t you watch Kiks at Penrith? He basically plays the same for us. He’s not a gap running back rower, he’s a steam roller and link man, and he has been pretty good for us doing that.

Like 90% of the threads on here. Burton is living rent free more than anyone in history.

100% I don’t rate Fogarty that highly but there’s no doubt he is one of the most reliable no.7s in the game. He doesn’t offer a lot in attack but is very steady with his organisation and kicking, which makes for a great foil for the type of player Strange is. We simply haven’t had someone of...

There will always be fans though. If we can pull in over 65k to a regular season game after going through a salary cap and coffs scandal, there is no doubt about it. Fans are inevitable and at the end of the day, a logo isn’t the be all and end all to most unlike how some think.

Meanwhile in reality… The club is in possibly the best position it’s been in for many years. Results on field have improved and I can’t think of another time when we were so well supported by sponsors etc. Face it, you’re a minority in this. The stakeholders that really matter (sponsors...

Yeah see the thing is with social media and online forums is that they pale in comparison to what the fanbase thinks and they only represent a fraction, so they’re inconsequential. You just have to look at our crowds this season and the hype within the fanbase. It’s only a few doomers on here...

Wow I can’t believe the club could do such a horrible thing. Lmao talk about overreaction.

Was interesting to read that Patrick Young who has been elevated into the top 30 next season is a dummy half. Perhaps that played into the decision not to extend Reed. Anyone seen the kid play?

I saw this mentioned elsewhere and it’s bang on imo. New horse looks like a car badge. I shall now refer to them as the Brisbane Mustangs.

Burton has an above average kicking game though. I don’t even know if Strange can kick. I think the whole Burto hate and criticism of other players, is often a “grass is greener” mentality. Just like the meme goes that if we signed x player TK would shit on them. Some posters want every off...

People are shitting on this new horse logo online, but they’re really getting dragged for their new away jersey that looks extremely dark blue, almost black? It’s almost unanimously hated lol.

Luai and Wishart better lmfao. Even Strange is debatable. He’s the flash new kid, but doesn’t have a lot to his game, just strong running and defending. Overrated tbh.

Wow, this is low key one of the best pieces of news this offseason! He was very impressive in that origin game.

Not necessarily. Apparently they have a good young prospect in lower grades, so they still have Egan and Healey competing for the same spot in NRL. It just depends on how long Healey is prepared to wait for a starting spot or do Wahs move Egan on?

I’d rather our’s than a generic logo from a video game tbh.

Galvin joining had a big impact on his numbers. Possibly affected try assists, but definitely affected his kick metres, which were way down on previous years. It’s a good sign that shows the load is shared more fairly now between the halves.

Same here mate. I like to see what people are saying but when they’re just negative broken records, there’s no point. The problem with any online forum, social media etc is that most people use it as a platform mainly for having a whinge. I get annoyed by all the various forums I visit because...

I don’t even bother trying to argue anymore bro. It’s like talking to a brick wall. 4 tRy aSSisTs.. is all they’ve got. If you look at the players with the most try assists, there are many you wouldn’t class as the elite in the comp. There’s more to rugby league than throwing the last pass or...

U wot m8? How was it after anything when the logo is brand new? Our’s has a bulldog wearing a collar with the original CB font, which not only is a nod to our heritage, but also stands for Canterbury-Bankstown. It’s actually quite good when you think about it, combining the old with the new.

Funny seeing all the hate for this, like our’s got. It’s obvious that the majority of NRL fans are clueless when it comes to this stuff. I actually like the new Broncs logo and am indifferent/kind of like our new one. New Broncs logo is modern and sleek. People just like complaining about...

It was only briefly, but he didn’t look out of place in that position when he played for Australia replacing Yeo off the bench.

Well we signed him knowing that, so it’s not like the injury history puts a line through you. Many players of the past have endured similar. Sharks also have Ison though, who has raps on him, so they are probably just putting all their eggs in that basket as backup/successor to Kennedy.

First line of this article they state that they are lol.. https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/nrl-2025-november-1-live-signings-contracts-transfers-angus-crichton-decision-roosters-japanese-rugby-wallabies-news-videos-highlights/news-story/a33e7304f8f7cd3e4bc5f7064bccc09e

Is it on the team store? Just had a look and the one with Laundy in the Hyundai style is around $100. Edit: $95 or $81 for members. Edit2: Nvm found it - https://myteamshop.com.au/products/canterbury-bulldogs-1995-nrl-heritage-jersey

Fuck you @Mitch Connor you’re making me spend more money! Lol just spent way too much yesterday on shit I don’t need

Play on the wing or fb. Our depth is shallow for backline players. Montoya and Tuala ain’t it.

Says Dolphins are stacked in the backline? Bostock, Hammer, Isaako, Harbie, Cobbo, Fuller and that kid who I can’t remember his name. I’d take Avo back any time. He was very good this season.

My worry is that even if we had Tino and Keaon, Ciro would still select fish boy! He loves him too much :((

Dykes was on 7news last night. It was good to see and hear him. 4 knee surgeries already the poor bugger! He sounds like he has a strong mentality though and has a high ceiling. He just needs some luck and hopefully he can get it with us. Interesting fact about Kade is that his grandfather and...

Hmm interesting. I guess it is less strange when you put it in the context of a trans woman wanting to be all that a woman is and if it’s physically possible, it’s not such a stretch to imagine some wanting that experience. I can also see how “real” women might find it offensive and a kick in...

Tldr is a *verbal diarrhea* emoji.

Something that often gets overlooked, but is incredibly important is how Warby, Gus, Ciro et al have all built this club back up, to the prestigious behemoth it was under Bullfrog and others. It means not only attracting great talent like Critta, but young players want to be in the system too...

Do these actually exist because it sounds far fetched? Like umm our titties don’t work like that? Or do they? I admit I haven’t tried to milk mine. I am pretty sure you said these individuals are actually expressing milk? That’s just bizarre to be frank.
