    Thank fuck for horse racing or this is looking an ugly 24 hours for NZ

    I'm not a horse guy so I'm now pinning everything on the ABs to restore national pride ... there goes my previous feeling of calm before that match.

    @mariner4life sorry bro, I was just reminded of something Beattie said about 20 years when he went on a visit to NZ and said something like “Qld is NZ’s best friend” and then someone replied, “you mean just the Gold Coast”

    @mariner4life said in NRL 2022:

    Salary cap jumps basically 25% next year. Some boys about to get paid, and some bad contracts suddenly won't look so bad.

    But of course, there has to be a loser, and outrage. And guess what? It appears NRLW players on social media are as dumb as their male counterparts

    Their cap jumped, but the cap is basically the same as one highly paid player. This is unacceptable to some. They should get heaps more. Lets just remember there are 6 teams in the comp. and they play 5 games and two finals. in front of 8 people. that's it. You are dreaming ladies.

    Aren't there quite a few Samoans in the NFL?. Thought I read once that American Samoa were well represented.

    @mariner4life said in NRL 2021:

    so it's fucking silly season in teh recruitment stakes. Players making moves, lots for the 2023 season (which menas prepare for the barrage of stories about wanting an early release, get rid of him he's not committed etc)

    Penrith obviously battling to keep everyone so they lost Kikau to the Bulldogs. Not a huge loss though
    Melbourne have lost Kaufusi to the Dolphins, again no massive loss especially in another year
    The Bulldogs pinched Reed Mahoney from the Eels in a bit of a shock

    The big free agent is The Cheese, and everyone wants him. So, of course, it looks like the Roosters will get him.

    Bulldogs recruiting nicely, still need to play well together though. Kikau is a pretty good buy in my opinion, always a threat on the edge. Penrith do have other backrowers but Kikau if used well is dangerous

    The cheese to the roosters who will probably won't supposedly pay him overs compared to other clubs..wow that is a great pick up if rumours are true.

    Dolphins will need to pick up a few names soon.. not just kaufusi, and agree not a huge loss to the storm

    @canefan yes, son of "Siro", younger brother of Curtis

    Not as big as his old man but I’d say more skilful than him. Siro was a man mountain in league.

    A Tigers legend.

    @ACT-Crusader said in The 2019 NRL Preview of the Warriors:

    Yeah @Sneakdefreak you surely are on the payroll. Well we should be able to afford you now we’ve offloaded SJ.

    Heard from a sauce that there might be some controversy coming our way

    We've missed on controversy so far so we're due ... it seems weird you saying 'our/we' for a team not from Canterbury. It would likely be impossible to select a Kiwis team of players with the links to Canterbury.

    It’s a big year for me. The Warriors are having their 25th anniversary and it happens to coincides with my own 25th anniversary of my first ever throw the remote at the TV moment....

    @raznomore said in NRL 2019:

    The latest doing the rounds is a current star of the NRL has got a 17yo up the duff

    Stating the obvious here - while controversial, at least that's not illegal (making the assumption it was consensual), not like a most other off season league controversies....

    as if we needed another lesson about recording yourselves doing 'fun' stuff... pretty shit that someone is trying to drag these guys down so many years after the fact. Bit of a non-event and if anyone is surprised by the antics then .... not much you can do for em!

    The Hayne Plane is back at Parramatta and already bringing the good scandals. He's been accused of rape while he was living his dream as a 49er in the NFL.

    I expect to see Cleary named coach with Stacey Jones as his assistant for the RLWC (If Ivan doesn't get a HC role in 2017).
