Ticker...

Yeah ticket is AFL ... that is what they call the chip.

Not hard to see why Parra loaned Alvaro out.

I have to agree with a lot if the posters on BDP, that the six again rule in it's concept is a great improvement but the referees are b@stardising the rule through inconsistency or "favouritism".

He's a hack in the Tolman mould

hmm the ' is in the wrong place should read in its' concept!

NRL is hard up for Heroes and role models
Player walks out on club and team mates while contracted unannounced
Defects to another code
Taken back
Defects again to other code
Reaches use by date other code
Back to RL
Club pulls out
NRL allows breach of rules to get him back
NRL allows greater than normal relocation costs
Player treated as returning hero by media.
Is this how we want young NRL players to act and do we want rules bent for this player.

Dragons down by 2 with 20 to go...... penalty in front

why didn’t they take the Tolman tap??? 

With Mary on the bench and young in the box I reckon Flanagan is doing his thing and coaching via email...

Great to see Markis favourite flat track bullies go down in consecutive nights..

Eels and Roosters losing, good start to the weekend.

I am happy the Panthers won.

So you are saying they need Tols.

Fatima Kdouh reporting in Scumgraph that Matt Doorey will make his debut this weekend

DWZ has been axed!

Is Fatima Dman's non de plume?

If that's how it is, my guess is Reimis to start on the wing & the young 2nd-rower Matt Doorey on the bench. I could be way off though...

Big Dell saying TPJ is a player the Dogs could build a culture around!?!?!?... 
Followed by ‘Weve all hung around with underworld figures’...

I much prefer to be referred to as a colourful racing identity...

Never touched a feather on her...

He's probably right.  Culture doesn't necessarily have to be virtuous.

Is TPJ an Influencer?
Seems to be the buzz word these days...

So what DID you touch?

Clearly everything but the feathers...

Proctor should have ordered some chips with his feed of shark.

Does look like this is legit ... squad update.

Will be good to see how Doorey goes.

I just saw it then. So it turned out to be true. Fatima doesn't seem to be one of the bs reporters around, so that's good as well.
Yes, always good when a young player gets to make their debut in firsts. The club has nothing to lose by doing that, especially at this stage.
I think the fans would appreciate it too.

Gee the Hammer is nearly as fast as Blocker in his prime.

It will be in the Junior Football Coaches manifest years to come . ‘How not to win a game ‘ 
Tolman’s tap will be there in the top 5.  

Its disappointing that SG didn't make an example of him and drop him.

In fact he could have made it public too so that the players know not to make rash decisions like that.

Perhaps its why he benched him, but I would have dropped him altogether...

If the Dogs win today..... I’ll break protocols & join Dman’s Covid 19 bubble

The Fox wants to return to Sydney to play fullback.

I'm saying Fox and Hounds would be a great name for a pub.

Tell the Fox he is in the 17 as a wing/fullback, tell him the newsreader is the competition. 
Armadillo is also a chance, but he would start the season third in line.

After the Fox, Burton is the next highest priority, I can tell the Panthers don't want to lose him, I can see why Gus thinks he might be the next Wade Graham, but for now he wants to play in the halves.

Both the Fox and Burton will come for an opportunity to play their preferred position. Sure we will have competition but worth a crack.

I have flipped on TPJ, he is now worth considering. He off field track record is well known and has many clubs saying No. So what he wants is another chance, we need the right clauses in any contract and we need to do a bit more digging. Specifically what are his links to bikies, and are those bikies likely to be involved in criminal activity.
Clubs saying no, might be based on a lot of bikies being involved in the drugs trade.
He is worth talking to we can determine if he will give straight and honest  answers to difficult questions.

If not TPJ then a clean record a the judiciary isn't a high priority for us. We want a forward who relishes the physical battle and sails close to the wind.

How many hoses are there on that pipe?
