The Payne in the Haas dilemma burning both Brisbane and Manly
Hey kk – PITH, I like that, you’ve still got it. ????

I didn’t know that about Parker. Cheers for that

Panthers don’t need them. Their NSW Cup side would trouble half the sides in the NRL.

Hopefully the hooker situation is resolved in the courts over the coming months – Manly need to move on one way or another.

Was it Corey Parker and Webcke who chose not to have a manager? Worked out for those guys, makes you wonder why more don’t do it themselves.

It would be terrible for Turbo to finish without a title, for all his good deads it would still leave him an agonising rung below Wombat and Snake.

Fair enough. But I reckon he’s rattled and now only starting to fully understand what it means. I reckon he’ll stay a Bronco.

I hope you’re right EJ. I just worry with Tommy’s bad luck that we’ll never see the squad reach their potential. Trying to retain the best of the juniors with $1m sidelined will never add up.

That’s the thing that makes the Turbo situation difficult to deal with, he’s such a decent bloke.

Cmon Suit, that’s a harsh wrap on Mums Day.
‘I faked it’: The spiteful morning-after admission humiliating the NRL
a). Can’t agree, ruck was much slower. Record scores prove 2021 was on more roids than most Olympic sprinters.

Exactly Jimmmy – when the rules are blured by match officials on the run, there’s no hope for the viewer on the couch.

Hey Albo, what do you make of the Gus influence – could it cramp Baz’s style.
Barrett's rudderless Bulldogs leave Fox hungry, but they're not the only club struggling to sate a superstar
I’ve got no idea, I guess Souths is his area. I’d like to see him succeed at the Dogs that’s for sure.

Nothing wrong with getting carried away – enjoy the ride, 6 more sleeps.

Cheers NickoM. Yeah, that’s the frustration, from the outside it seems a simple fix, especially for full time professionals.

What is it with Dufty that splits Saints fans down the middle?

Stoppit EJ!!

I hope you’re right Albo. Nothing beats a smiling and flying JAC.

So he could get itchy feet. Nah, he wouldn’t rock the boat, would he?

I like your Ponga point. Something isn’t right. The Knights have good go forward yet it seems the back line can’t settle on a structure that allows Ponga to become a regular threat. The amount of times he doesn’t even get a touch in the opposition half is frustrating – you could be onto it. Wayne will fix it.
Everyone loves $$$ – go Josh go.

If the sky keeps falling, fair chance he may drift into Bellamy’s lap.

I love that ZBS, puts the Bondi in Stockton, the exact shake up the comp needs ????
