What that means then is that this is all a smokescreen for something juicy that went down but powerbrokers in the NRL and media are trying to bury. Has the Ponga situation suddenly gone quiet?

If it was one of ours, and they at least have the freedom to say a Qld player, they would have said it was a Broncos player.

If we get him to make lists in multiple threads, we'll have Sproj everywhere.

Jensen in the forwards and Pereira in the backs were the surprise strength brutes according to the ex-trainer cheer dad ;)

Soooo, what has Ponga done for Native Mineral Resources in order for them to justify such a heavy sponsorship of him?

My guess is that they'll have any players with PNG heritage exempt from the cap, and then the full cap that every other team has to recruit non-PNG players as well. It's the easiest way to get them to have a decent contingent of PNG players but still being competitive. But as @Browny said...

Warriors won't give up their home game against us during Origin. My guess would be Bulldogs as the "home" team if the Sea Eagles pull out. They've always been out in numbers when their team play in Brisbane. Also probably the most feral supporters but whatever.

He said he wants a premiership. Out of the likely contenders TPJ is now down to the Roosters and Panthers (again). Roosters have a war chest but I can absolutely see them signing him for $200k/season and he'd be ripe to have a couple of failed drug tests stashed away somewhere as fallback.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, it wasn't a head knock, he got a massive shot to the ribs that, on replay, you can see it ripple through his whole body. No wonder he dropped it. Surprised he could play on after that, the fucker must be tough.

That Storm fullback with the drop before the kick, rightly being called a knock-on, just proves once again the "doesn't need to be attempting a field goal" drop-kick for that Storm try years ago was just another "only time this interpretation will ever be used, because it's against the Broncos"...

Kev is keeping his game incredibly simple, too. Once he's 20-30 games in and conditioned to it, they'll start to ease out some his attacking ability.

So, with Cleary being injured, do the NRL suspend him for a hip drop, knowing he's on the sidelines anyway? He's been off the field enough to likely rule him out for any Daly M contention, so the 2 week suspension ineligibility rule won't worry them.

Girdler marvelling at how, after Dogs have been so dominant, the Panthers are able to turn momentum and score. Apparently he can't hear the same whistle, "penalty, six again, six again, penalty, six again, THEY MIGHT NOT NEED THIS SIX AGAIN HE MIGHT BE OVER" that those of us listening can hear...

The worst part is an ex Penrith player is on the Triple M commentary team and he's just whitewashed the chat as "common sense prevails".

The Panthers have the winning formula. The 5 equally important ingredients are: * A halfback * Some outside backs * A coach * In a strategically important location so the NRL makes sure they are successful, and are allowed to live off-side, get consistently preferential treatment on and off the...

(Swishes a can of Monster around, closes his eyes and takes a sniff through the hole at the top).

Um, FRENCH fries.

Thanks. I thought it was later than that, as we were the only two unbeaten clubs at that point.

Even if that were true, how many wins did they have in a row to start last year? I'm sure it was at least 4...

The way he is forced to defend these situations, against all common sense and reason, I'm fully expecting him to be sweating out hair dye any day now.
