So we are signing, the Cheese, Radley, Cook, Grant, RTS and a few others 😁

We will have too many hookers...😊

The Cheese will suit us as starting hooker with someone like Dietz off the bench.

I doubt that he will ever be an 80 minute hooker.

We need to build credability and reputation 2022-2024, we can look for further improvement after that.
So no later than 2024 the Cheese may move to being mostly a backrower, becuase our prefered starting hooker is now a local product. 

Here’s a bit of info.... Does anyone remember the teams Player/Family welfare manager last year l?. She would assist with the players & their wives. Last year it was her husband that picked up Thommo from Vic whilst he was in quarantine.  

T Baz that told her to go. Players are pissed.  Fwit Dessy and the Tigers have offered her a similar role. 

As a player it would be rather petty to screw the club over because the coach tapped a manager on the shoulder and told them they are no longer wanted. Sure the players may be pi$$ed off over it but they certainly don't have the right to let the club and the fans down by " just going through the motions". If this is really the case then tell them all they can just fvck right off, we don't that sort if sh!t going on.

I agree ODF. 

Hoppa doesn't drink with Dman, hence no chance of a contract extension....

Toby knows how to play the game.

We’ve all been in work places where it’s been a little toxic, or a few bad apples always chipping away in the background to others..... hearing that news today from the former welfare manager who’s in close contact with numerous players isn’t a healthy mix for T Baz or the players. 

I hope come Rd11..... T Baz gives a few more
of the pups in Mounties a go & pushes both Napa & Floppa to reggies for the remainder of the year

There must be a reason why we don't want a Player Welfare Manager, I see there is a need for that sort of role in any club. Maybe she is a leftover from the Des era and she is the one that is in the players ears constantly reminding them to continue with the Desball mentality. No wonder TBaz tapped her on the shoulder and pointed her toward the door.

Same team as last week, DWZ moving to fullback, newsreader stationed on the wing close to TV studio.

Napa has recovered..

If the players are professionals they shouldn't let issues like this impact their work.

The club always decides who does particular jobs, not the players.

No, she was a Dean Pay hire. She said Pay will take her with him if he gets another gig, which apparently he has sounded out the Tigers

We’re f#cked either way.... Napa & Floppa will dish out nothing & Ben Cummins is ref 

We are playing the Dragqueens, that is a stepdown from reserve grade.

Dman just needs to take along Cummins on a 1 week bender starting now. 

I wouldn’t have a beer with bloke if he was the holder of the last two long necks on earth...

$1100 odd dollars... that’s all S Burgess copped as his sentence was handed down to him for drinking with the white stuff in his system, unlicensed, and driving an unregistered vehicle...... Absolute farking joke!!!!

Was Dman’s mate Greenturd the magistrate?

More importantly did anyone get the details of the dealer???... asking for.a friend...

Of course he did silly.... Mr M Vatuvai 

Equality before the law as a basic concept of our legal system sounds admirable, but the application does not live up to the intent.

What a joke...

I copped a $783 fine when I drove my 1 week late (accidentally) unregistered car. 

I was not under influence of alcohol or drugs or rage.

Quiet street in Rosebery, afew days after coming back from a 6 week holiday in europe with the car having gone out of rego the week before while we were away. No leniency, but told I could have been fined up to 2k for a range of snow ball offenses.

So how they fekk does this guy get away with $1100?

I should have worn a Souths jersey to get off!

Get off the fine I mean..... not get off on wearing the jersey!

In the words of Billy Bob Thornton "They can't all be winners" . Burgess also caught using a mobile phone whilst driving at least half a dozen times. Anyone else wouldn't have a licence for years if that was the case.

A cousin on my wife's side was jailed for 6months for many unpaid road fines and repeat offending....

Sam must be well connected to get off so lightly for the many offenses he has committed....

Okay.... Where are you Dman & what did you do with former Australian Cricketer Stu Macgill?

Kidnapping at gunpoint seems more up your cousins’ alley...

What is happening at Canberra?

Looks like being grumpy a perfectionist isn't working as well for Sticky, as it does for Bellamy and Bennett.

Players have to think tough love is becuase the coach has their best interests at heart.

If we manage to beat the Dragqueens on the weekend, that club might also fold like a house of cards...

It is tough in the NRL, especially when results turn South and the coach doesn't seem to have the answer.

Our advantage is things have been so bad for so long that the odd win here or there currently seems like an improvement.

The Dragqueens started a season well again, a loss to us is a disaster for them.

At Canberra Sticky seemed like he was building something, now the results are not there, the coach is grumpy and some players seem unhappy. Like the Dragqueens they are on the edge of the abyss.

We don't care, we want to push both of them into it.

It's such a delicate situation when the coach tries to teach his players abit of a lesson or give them a rev up, without overstepping the mark and have it blow up in his face.

Todd Payten did it early in the season with Cows and it has blown up.

Now Raiders. Looks like Hodgson, Tapine  Papalii and a couple of others are upset with their treatment. It may result in an exodus. Could be beneficial to us and other teams if we can pick up one of their players.

Bennett and Bellamy seem to be able to do it without fear of losing players....they just replace them. 

You know you have reached the pinnacle of coaching when you can be the mean coach and not care what the fallout may be.

It certainly backfired on Ricky. It’s almost like he copied Bellamy who said it about his players a few weeks back. Some coaches can, some can’t. Ricky shouldn’t critique his players in the media. It doesn’t work when you don’t have runs on the board. Bellamy only gets away with it because of his continued success. Bennett, I can’t remember him having a go at his players through the media. Maybe at Newcastle which was a failure. 

Can just imagine Marki in his first press conference as coach....
Marki - ”it’s all Tolmans fault, and the new Tolman Flanno”
Germo - “but Aiden retired a decade ago”..
Marki - Well its Des’ fault,.. What I meant was, I’m gods gift to football”....
