I suspect Anasta’s position might be different if Topine was one of the players he manages.
6% of $4mill might sway his opinion

NRL News: 'Happens every day' - Anasta defends Dogs as $4M lawsuit looms over former player's training punishment

Maguire hates penalties, Barnett ?

Des breaks his duck after epic final stand sees Titans pull off Anzac boilover to stun Warriors in Auckland

Warriors will not loose anyone during Origin, bit of a leg up mid season,

Des breaks his duck after epic final stand sees Titans pull off Anzac boilover to stun Warriors in Auckland

As good as he is Brimson gets a few injuries, as does Foran.
Campbell will plenty of starts at the Titans

Late in the second half Walker kicked the ball away when Jollife was playing the ball.
Originally ruled on field as a Titans knock on, captains challenge clearly showed Walker kicking the ball away. I thought this should have been rule a professional foul , with Walker off for 10 and a penalty ? But the ref ruled “Titans ball play on” ?

Madden kicked Raiders and Dolphins into submission past two games.
Reynolds returning from hammy, Madden will do a lot of the kicking.

Madden obviously wanted to get out from under Brooks at the Tigers,
But the Tigers with Madden at 7 and Galvin at 6 could have saved all the cap spent on Sullivan, pair of Fainu’s, Sezer and Luai.

NRL Round 8 Team Lists Late Mail: Injury causes Dragons reshuffle, Cleary back, Broncos' mixed news, Eels blood new half

The only true 7 at the Raiders is Fogarty, who at 30, missed half of 2022 and now half of 2024.
Sanders will get plenty of chances and would be playing for the Raiders this week if granted the release for this year.

Always start high in any negotiation, Dogs may prefer to settle, with a non disclosure clause, and not go to court

NRL News: Warriors sign rookie Jett, Topine sues Dogs for $4m over 'psychiatric injury' from wrestling punishment

Cogger plays for the Knights ?

One of few to play for the “Fibros” & the “Silvertails”
Les Boyd the only other I can think of/

Gould will be sh@ting bricks thinking about what Raymond Faitala-Mariner is going say in court.

Six weeks out from kickoff and Maguire has narrowed it down to 50 .
Slater’s getting the names printed on jerseys!

Blues Origin predicted team: Cleary's massive injury blow confirmed to hand Maguire yet another headache

Standout must be Julian O’Neill , taking a dump in Jeremy Schloss’s shoe Dubbo hotel hallway.

Heroes versus villains: An NRL showdown of nice guys up against the nasty mongrels

How does Penrith signing Stefano Utoikamanu stop Maguire from selecting him?
If he was to make himself unavailable from rep duties 2024 it would block him from playing for Samoa against the poms at season end.

Looking at recent history,
Leilua got 2 weeks for D/Drive, Holmes got a week and $25K for not taking an illicit drug.
I recon old mates looking at 4 weeks and $25/$50 large.

Cronulla self inflicted season killing wound, same as Brown Eels last year.

Sharks star stood down after positive test as police charge half for DUI with suspended licence

I like a hard low scoring game won on defence and effort.
The pressure on teams knowing that one missed tackle could spell disaster.

The dolphin beat the Eels scoring 9 tries but had 26 missed tackle and 14 ineffective.
That’s a defensive error every two minutes, won’t win a final on that performance

So perhaps the Qld based teams should not play in Canberra or Melbourne during winter?

Darwin theory dictates only the strongest survive - Arthur on the rocks at Eels after embarrassing capitulation

Henry apposed the signing of Hayne, forced onto the Titans @ $1.2Mill per season,
Mid season 2017 with Hayne cashing his check but offering nothing but complaining about the coach, the board sacked Henry. Hayne walked away from his contract end of 2017 and rejoined Parra. Eels got the spoon 2018. exit Hayne.
Wonder what could have been, if only Greenburg had not forced Hayne into the Titans after Henry took them from 14th to finals in two seasons.

I doubt it was Arthur or the players who decide to take a home game to Darwin.
Nothing from the CEO or the board? Just slipping the noose over Arthurs head.
But what could the parra management say ?
” We value a quick $ more than our Coach, Players or fans”

Trent Robinson knows there is more than Tedesco at 1 for the Rooters in his decision.
If he is not fullback for his club he is finished at State and National level

Robinson's custodian conundrum: Would Roosters be better off with Manu at fullback?

Tedseco got married Jan 2023 and had the worst year of his career.
Cartwright got rid of the bride 2022 and had is best ever season 2023

Robinson's custodian conundrum: Would Roosters be better off with Manu at fullback?

Why would Nine/Fox broadcast that ? NRL is their highest rating show but they are quite happy to put the slipper in to the detriment of the game and players.
PVL should give Nine/Fox a weeks suspension for “brining the game into disrepute.”

And the smuck sticking the camera in Fogarty’s face sitting on the bench knowing his season is done. Good work by the Raiders trainer who stepped in front of camera to block the image.

'Crazy scene in the tunnel': Hetherington in strife after scuffle outside sheds, Ponga hobbled as Dogs flog Knights

56 games this year and 3 golden point, there has been more trips.
But I agree with scrapping golden point, instead of teams shutting down to hold out for golden point they will have to have a crack at winning in regular match time.

They have those losses in them
Got done at home last year by Souths and Broncs with both missing their origin players

'Complete performance' sees Dragons stun Warriors - and Lomax rocket into Origin contention

I live an hour out of Mackay, right now its 28Deg and 83% humidity.
The under 10’s have just kicked off.
Poor old Eels, Mum its too hot!
