6th graders would be pissed with themselves if they didn’t put it away. Bread and butter.

DD, the real question is do you think Starcs first ball today would’ve cleaned you up or would you have whipped it off your toes to the pickets?

If they can scramble to 180-200 that wouldn’t be the worst result. Bet they wished they’d played Broad though. The rouge seed in his hand underneath the brooding skies forecast for the next couple of days he would’ve been dangerous.

I reckon I would’ve clipped that ball for 4 that Burns somehow missed. That technique is something else.. Starc underwhelming again this morning imo. Lucky wicket.

Burton, Pangai Junior and Addo Carr arrive at Belmore Preparations for the 2022 season are well advanced with star recruits, Tevita Pangai Junior and Josh Addo-Carr, experiencing life at Belmore for the first time having started back at training yesterday, with Matt Burton returning last week...

I would be shocked if either Averillo or BBO ain’t wearing the #7 in R1

Marvellous idea that

#FreeGodberts

Come on mate you’re just being a sook now. Play on

Why?

Reported for harassment.

Give him a break. I’d heard he’d been putting in plenty of hard yards at the pub and KFC in the lead up to this fight

I’d argue that there’s far more important things to be outraged about.

Amazing performance.

Well done mate, great advice. I’ve just sold my joint so will be sure to do the same with a lot of my stuff when I empty the place out over the next couple of weeks.

Not sure mate but I have a feeling he’d get on well with your mate @Dog4life77

Nice to meet you too Jax :kissingheart:

I am Power hardest to beat for mine. Wisdom of Water could run a race dropping back in grade.

Can confirm Ajaz is a better number 11 than Chris Martin

Burton has gotta somehow be related to Jeremy Latimore. They are dead ringers

Lumelumelumelumeeee doyadoyadoyadoyaaaa

Will La Niña sway the series into England’s favour?

Yeah I would’ve blooded Inglis but it won’t surprise me in the slightest if Carey goes well. Robust tekkers and looks to have a good temperament. Good luck to him, seems like a good bloke.

Good move for him. Definitely got one eye on his future.

Interesting. Have they put it to the test with the baby gouging it’s eyes successfully without eliciting a reaction from the pitbull? I’m sure they haven’t and I certainly hope they never would. An old friend of mine had a pitbull and put endless hours of training into it and nearly had me...

My border collie x kelpie was recently mauled by a pit bull which broke free from its owner whilst on a walk. Very lucky to be alive and I can tell you it was an extremely traumatic couple of minutes. There are absolutely no place for those breeds in society.

Hahaha shut up Teofimo you flog

Goosebumps

Right on mate, probably fight of the year for mine.

GEORGE KAMBOSOSSSSSSS what a fucking fight! Legend.

Pant and Shaw were still averaging 50+ in the ranji trophy and are both clearly phenomenal talents. We just don’t have any exceptional talents like those guys coming through atm which is the concern and reason why we’re still looking at guys like Head and Harris to ‘do a job’. I’m definitely...

Not a bad session today boys. 6/10

Don’t have any kids making runs mate. Pucovski and Green are the 2 best young bats in the country then there’s daylight. Iyer is 27 and has made 5000 first class runs @ 52 before finally getting a test cap. We got no one in that class available. Harris I dunno why they’ve gone back to him. Just...

I agree with Fletch.

If you asked me 12-18 months ago I’d say Carey would be a certainty but he hasn’t really gone on with it and some very worthy contenders have arrived. Personally I’d be going with Inglis. Love what he brings. My smokey is Sam Whiteman - been highly regarded for years and been part of quite a...

Paulo? Gus and his monstrous swinging piece is probably lining up Payne Haas to break contract and sign with us for ‘22

Burton is a great signing no doubt with plenty of potential but Mahoney is a very complete player right now and will be pivotal to being able to turn the ship around from the get go next year. Burtons potential is obvious, will be a great player I hope but as it stands he’s got a lot of...

100% mate. Whilst Smiths undoubtedly a quality rake, I just think Mahoney adds that bit of extra craft and guile which are more the traits that we need. Tidy kicking game, great vision, service as crisp as any and a very good rugby league brain. This is our best signing for many years...

Oh wow I’ve only just seen Mahoney has signed. That is huge. Game changer for us.

Irrespective of the conjecture over the actual salary figures - is it some concern that our top 5 earners are all forwards and outside backs? Do/did any of the most successful clubs over the past decade have their roster structured this way?

This is good business. 3. Alamoti 4. Schoupp Set and forget for the next decade. Cotric is getting paid far too much for a winger. Offload him and invest the money in the spine. Naden can do a good job for us on the wing in the interim.

Perhaps paid a bit of overs here but we’ve desperately missed some proper firepower out wide and big Vili will bring it. His defence has improved out of sight in the past year also.

You forgot to mention Paine’s aggressive stroke play

Who’s got the stream boys?

Don’t think the training kit is half as bad as what people are making it out to be. It’s a simple design but looks good to my eye. Will buy the shirt for sure

Wonder what pub they found Joyce in for this? This fight will be a farce. Nothing to be concerned about.

Put it this way mate if you end up sucking @KLil ’s cock then it wouldn’t bother me at all but I have no interest in watching the show

Is it?

Tonga was a long time ago. I reckon the last one would’ve been Pat O’Hanlon. Career cruelly cut short by one of the worst injuries I’ve ever seen

Come on mate stay out of the gutter.

They really don’t help themselves sometimes the Warriors. Niukore can certainly play but he’s not worth anywhere near that much.

Why all the talk of 0-6? With the firepower we’ve recruited we should be knocking off the Cowgirls and Bronx. Bit of confidence built from R1 and R2 and we should go close to jagging 1 of those next 4 tough games.

You’re joking? What don’t you rate about his game? He looks the complete package to me. I reckon Grant would probably be the only hooker in the game I’d take over him.

Yes to both.

Let’s hope he enjoyed the prawn crackers.

Absolutely mate, should not be taken lightly but unfortunately it’s that exact delicacy around the topic that allows brain dead athletes and public figures the opportunity to roll it out as a convenient excuse for their actions. I worry that the more and more that it’s used by these imbeciles as...

Gutless *****. They should double the punishment for these players who roll out the mental health card to try and defend/justify their behaviour.

Correct. I’m sure some of the members on here demanding prime time viewership for next year are the same ones who said they boycotted watching our games last year haha

It’s been common knowledge he ain’t coming here for months. How are people still so invested in this?

The business element to the scheduling needs to be respected mate. The only way we can change a lot of these less than ideal happenings that are perceived by some to be ‘conspiracies’ is to play better footy, win more games, cultivate success.

It’s not corruption mate. We’ll return to the prime time slots once we start playing some prime time footy. Simple as that

@Tassie Devil you should definitely think carefully about your wife and daughters welfare before bringing them here. I’ll describe what I’ve heard women go through. They can’t walk down the street at night alone. If they do, they are in constant fear that there’s a 100% chance that they could...

Lol what am I reading? Edwards is pretty well rock solid, runs for 200m+ per game and is lengths ahead of Dufty. Would not mind signing him at all.

Quick somebody tweet Gus

The occasional Polynesian or player with an anti-vax Insta-whore girlfriend will refuse it. 98% will comply.

There’s no other who’s product will align so impeccably with the audience. And no other who’s dollars and term of commitment can trump that of the betting companies. It’a a match made in heaven. This is business not charity.

You don’t think underage kids are seeing all the alcohol ads that come on after 8pm? Advertising aside, it is an absolute certainty that kids will have a high level of exposure to alcohol, drugs, smoking, gambling and the like through their friends, acquaintances and of course the internet as...

Prime time advertising slots go to the highest bidder whether you like it or not, so that’s why you’re seeing it. And it also helps keep the sport you love afloat so it’s probably worth just copping it on the chin. Surely you can just change the channel during the ad breaks if it offends you so...

Who cares. There’s an element of risk in just about everything we do in life. What we eat, what we drink, how we invest our money, how we conduct ourselves in various situations, how we drive our cars etc etc. Everyone need to hold themselves accountable for their own decision making. If you...

Please don’t bag this signing and in the same breath whinge that we should’ve retained Ogden you knuckleheads.

I kinda hope you’re right sleepy. Braidon can definitely play, just needs a bit luck with injuries!!

Great winger on his day, good luck to him.

Underrated - Nat & Egan Butcher Young guns - loved watching Reece Walsh and Jayden Campbell this year. Will have a big year in 2022 - Scotty Drinkwater

Mediocre and would probably be commanding north of 250k/season. No thank you Would rather throw a bone to a promising young bloke with a bit more potential.

Settle down. Dib and co’s mismanagement absolutely resigned us to all these miserable years. The Anderson reign served its purpose - they acknowledged the dire state of the club and cap position, took their medicine, and promised to ensure that from 2021 onwards our cap would be in a great...

You can thank Ray Dib for those 5 years of embarrassment.

You’re right there mate but at the end of the day if I think we’re in good enough shape to make the 8 then I’ll probably jump on whatever odds are offered. As they say a short priced winner is still better than a long odds loser.

Won’t be touching us in the premiership market but could be enticed by the Top 8 market if they offer up some somewhat juicy odds.

Great news. Huge future ahead for this kid. Outstanding as a teenage debutant this year playing in a piss poor team. Hope he’s with us for the next decade.

Can you ban @Villian /Boxer then pls

If a mod can post this shit then Nasheeds ban should be overturned effective immediately.

Spewing!! It’s been a fantastic series. Test cricket in England is the pinnacle in terms of viewing.

Mr I would’ve rigged the fuck out of this poll by now if he was still in charge

Great thread @KLil and I think you should’ve nominated yourself mate, good sport always. Have to say though unfortunately there’s some real passengers on that list and I can only assume there was some sort of administrative error as to why @DinkumDog and @Natboy aren’t on there. Both are...

Honoured to be amongst the nominees @KLil Vote #1 Horse Thanks for voting for me @AlzzBulldog you cute ****

I’m saying he’ll get a contract regardless of those scenarios. So if you wanna proceed with the bet then I’d be happy to allow for a caveat that the bet be null and void should he only get the contract in the circumstance of after a team loses a half to serious injury in pre-season.

If that’s the case then take my bet on then. Name a price. Free money for you by the way you’ve painted the landscape

Changed your tune

If you reckon so then let’s have a friendly wager on it? Lewis will be signed by an NRL or ESL club for 2022 if he’s not here. The other blokes I offered the same bet to went MIA but hopefully you’re a man of your convictions and will have a crack.

He’s only played 4 full games (injured/concussed inside the first 20 mins of the other 2) this year but you’ve conveniently overlooked that he scored 2 try’s of his own and has 4 try assists within those 4 games. Kicking game was strong and we were far more competitive overall. Although a small...

Come on Steve, it’s no secret that you’re no fan of Lewis but you have to give credit when it’s due - he was our best on ground last night, and without the field position we were able to wrangle on the back of his long kicking, and without a bit of variation in his attacking kicks - we would’ve...

I’m all for a fire sale. Just as long as it doesn’t include sales of our best player to another club for half price.

Surely a G-up

Well said MD72 We’ve got some cracking players joining the club next year. We desperately need a proven, established coach who can get the best out of them.

I’ll happily bet cash that Lewis will be signed by either an NRL or ESL club for 2022. You too @GDR name a price lads. Back your convictions

Well if Wakeham is half the superstar that you’ve told me he is then it shouldn’t be a problem. Flanagan’s old man is still well connected enough to carry Kyle into a new team. I’d be very very surprised if the club isn’t currently exploring offloading at least 1 of them

How do you know? Do you expect there to be a media circus around Lewis’ next contract?

You and I both know that’s not always the case. Players leave clubs before their contract expires left right and centre. If they’re on the nose, they can find a new home.

Yeah but hooker isn’t his position. We’ll hopefully see him playing his natural role from the bench next year.
