As a private schoolboy I played union the whole way through, and one things that was absolutely drilled into us in union was the importance of low body height to win the contact. It's another union tactic I often wonder why isn't more prevalent in league... You see some player's like Sammy use...

How good does it feel for JD to come out and say they are working on a lot of the things we have mentioned on the forum? Ie. Not shutting up shop when we are head, being more expansive in attack and using our mobile forwards more effectively.

Thanks for posting these Freaky. It is bloody impressive to see how far he has come, and fantastic getting an insight into the way he thinks. It's more and more obvious why Bennett has made him captain. Happy for Darbs.

No arguments from me - a legend but the right call. For those wondering why Bennett would bother announcing this so far out from the end of his contact, I'd say he had the following motivations. 1. Ideally he probably wants to get Sam off the cap asap. He's just let every club in the comp know...

Don't usually have the inside word, but just got told yesterday by someone I can personally confirm knows the Niko's, that Jayden is more than likely heading to the Storm and has been in talks for an extended period. Take that as you will, thought may as well pass it on.

Actually like both these blokes. Maloney's a funny bugger and Wade's one tough hombre.

I do agree he's been playing better than expected. But, I think the change of clubs did him a world of good as well. He's taken the chance to prove he can be a main forward for them.

Really enjoyed the battle between Wallace and McGuire. And to be honest I'm really happy Wallace is playing well for the titans. Certainly a career best game from him. Got no hard feelings at all about the bloke leaving.

A couple of efforts of the ball have really impressed me this year. I still think he needs more early ball in attack. Against the Roosters there were a couple of times Hunt cut him out for Kahu which was the wrong call. Certainly want to re-sign him. The question is when to do it. His off...

Do I detect a pinch of salt?

Ah, well way to burst my bubble

Also, stoked by this signing. Really a big fan of Bird and think he is underrated by some on here. Tough, young, versatile and has that quality about him that only the real stars have. I've got no problems with the bloke backing himself as a spine/key player in the side. You need that sort of...

Today would have to be close to the day of the year where a signing's announcement must be most delayed because of the cooling off rule.* By my calculations, with all these public holidays, we can't announce it until 3/5/17. Damn. *I have never struggled to word a sentence more in my life and...

Fox reporting we've got Bird. On phone but no paywall: http://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/jack-bird-rejects-cronulla-sharks-offer-to-join-the-brisbane-broncos/news-story/09f32304df28451d94d03e0b4072e11b

Can't complain, both could have got more $$ or a longer deal on the open market. Great show of loyalty by to great clubmen. If I was running the club I'd have probably offered Glenn 50kish less a year. Love the bloke and it pains me to say it because he could earn so much more elsewhere. But I...

Bloody hell mate have you had a head knock recently? Why would we want to do that?

I am aroused...

Dunno if this has been posted elsewhere, but holy **** this made me laugh. https://www.9now.com.au/nrl-footy-show/2017/clip-cj16epknz00550in68ugmc3z9/3ff43957-fc75-4ff6-9bfc-4c90b3f2d124/?ocid=nrlfsfb McGuire first ever player/CEO dual role? The bloke really seems savant like...

This is a bloke whose made the grade on the back of his running game. He is still inconsistent in these areas, but I am seeing enough sings that he is on the right track... He's kicking more and his kick selection has been more varied and improved in my book.

I actually really rate Jack Bird, he's tough and a natural footy player. He'd do well in the spine. Hard to see him and Milf being effective. Milf is definitely coming along nicely in his game control/management, but would need to come a long way. I guess he'd have this year and next to develop...
