Ikin's parents probably agree.

I actually liked Ikin.
I thought he was fair and kept Kent and Buzz in check.
Yvonne was good but was abit shy to intervene or challenge the others.

Braith has been both supportive and critical of the Dogs on the various Fox shows, and i reckon after he settles in, will be good.
I love the fact that both Braith (and to a lesser exent) Ennis, arent afraid to call it like it is when it comes to the Dogs. I dont want any sugarcoating. If they are poor and look uncoached or have no tactics, i want these guys who have been at the club, had success and well as failures, call it out.

And it should be respected.

So he isn't content with causing climate change, covid,  semi conductor and toilet paper shortages, Des has moved on to causing Putin to invade Ukraine, inflation and worst of all Villi's taste in  fashion.

Dman should take off the rose coloured glasses and see beyond the free beers, but sadly that will never happen.

I thought Des was also the cause of the increased beer excise, but if they're free, it doesn't matter...

Mark Shulman RIP One of Rex's best...the tiny,little, diminutive....https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/nrl-2022-dragons-icon-mark-shulman-dies-aged-70-tributes/c69c417c-e86e-4cec-858c-9c644d2f83ff

Reading about Hethro moving to the 2nd row.

Starting pack might be.

8 Thommo.
9 JMK/Cook
10. Vaughan.
11. TPJ
12. Hethro
13. Jacko

If fit I would have. 

14. BBO 
15. Patolo
16. RFM / Topine
17. Seafood

Pretty good pack IMO, especially in attack, TPJ and Hethro could be a real handful on the edge.

Good squad named for the trial.

Fox and Nado having a rest.

Young centre from Drugcastle returning local junior, 2 young flyers from QLD. Young gun centre.

That snail that used to overtake Hoppa is no chance.

If only Dman would stop talking soccer and AFL.

I'll call a truce, if he stops sending weed to the main man at the hammers. 

If Mike Pence shows some courage, the Dogs can still win the 2021 NRL GF.

I've got our version of the final scoreboard here, don't believe that fake game you saw on Channel 9, the Panthers would never win it.

Clue - the real GF was played Sept 5 2021.  Our opponents were a bit cat like.

I can reveal that the refs are robots, we have found a bug in their software which explains everything, fully adjusted the Roosters were the 2021 wooden spooners and Mike Pence will back up everything I'm saying.

After the Footy, I'm getting Mike to sort out Lotto. I've got lots of winning tickets here. Everyone else get in the queue.

Ill have what HD is having...

There is a joke on Twitter about Pence changing, opps fixing, the Superbowl result.

Why think small, Pence can fix any result. I'm sure some of those lotto tickets should have won.

Meet me in the carpark at Belmore station at 230...

Where is Slinky???... Bidens comin to get ya mate...

Thanks for mates rates.

BRING BACK GREEN TODBERG NOW!!! 

Leave Ukraine alone...

In the words of the late great "Big Kev" I'm excited. Fox apparently broadcasting the trial...darn hope so as reactivated the sports option because of it! Didn't see much of the Indigenous game but bits I saw Naden looked pretty silky.

I nominated Dman for life membership at the AGM for services to player recreation, down to the wire, but Tunks tipped him out ..bad luck bro you work is underappreciated, I can attest to the quality 😁

Big Kev died?
Was cholesterol seen running from the scene?

You're not gonna believe this... But Bankwest turf was the only eye witness...

Tunksy tok the time to let me know I was an inspiration at the last Talkin Sport Grand Final cruise...

I'm busting!!!!...

Is it just me that has an issue with the NRL having a sponsor?

I mean... this can only mean one thing right?

Is the Sponsor City Ford?

You mean it wasn't glandular?

Close....
Specsavers!

About bloody time...

That’s the best starting forward pack we have had since making the Grand Final. Add in Reed and Kiks next year and we should be pushing the contenders. 

Im keen to see what Alamoti is all about.
There's been alot of hype here, on TK and even in news reports. Im curious if he the Vagana type of centre or the Willie Talau type of centre.

Our last centre prodigy was going to be Morgan Harper but the club failed to look after him and allowed him to leave.

Hope we dont stuff up with this kid.

Harper was never really a prodigy, he was always as he’s basically turned out to be - a solid NRL player that may get 200 games or not at a few different clubs. Salary cap squeeze, he’ll be looking for a new club and probably find one… or not.

Alomati even by indifferent judges has size and skill, a lot of both, and average though not completely dismissible speed. What he lacks in speed he makes up in power.

He’s 182 cm and 98 kg’s at 18. He’ll grow to somewhere in the low 100’s. His go to  is his offloads in traffic under pressure at speed to outside backs/winger at speed, That’s what had Politis drooling.

Hopefully there’s still a place in the NRL for such player in the centres, if not not they’ll shift him to an edge backrower as he grows. But let’s hope they keep him at center.

Because he can run the ball off an offload too.
