So to promote the "fact" that they want to breed home-grown talent, they use a player who was poached from a rival ...

That'll do me, lol

Who the hell else would they choose... there's no Vics in the squad... or coaching.. or organisation

At the very least it should have been someone they developed and/or made their debut with the Storm.

not an Origin player they poached from a rival

LOL. Xavier kicking off his standup routine with “we want to breed homegrown talent”.

I suppose, if they brought through two more local juniors, they would double their development from their last 25 years - that’s an accomplishment.

They did a session with the Geelong Sharks and he was asked about it and said they want to grow home home grown Victorian talent.

They do say it’s the thought that counts.

So he was talking about a Victorian afl team? That makes more sense.

Except that that AFL team is the biggest poacher in the AFL.

For all the money they’ve been throwing around, that’s a pretty lacklustre leadership group.

They still have a pretty ordinary squad as well. I seriously doubt all the money they’ve spent will make much of a difference to where they finish on the ladder.

It’ll be glorious to watch too, shall it transpire that way

Kale runs out, calls it and then runs back to the sideline, NFL punter style.

It was the cherry on top that got him across the line.

Penrith tiring themselves out before our round 1 game...

Reminds me of that old joke about getting pulled off at half time.

A man who drowned at a Sydney beach on Saturday while trying to save two strangers has been identified as the uncle of NRL star Marty Tapau.


Father-of-six Talitiga Taupau is being remembered as a hero after swimming into a rip at Shelly Beach in Cronulla in a bid to save the struggling swimmers, 9 News reported on Sunday evening.

So apparently Mattersons 3 match suspension has been upheld by the NRL.

The Eels tried to have it overturned with a fine imposed instead (he has that option at the time) ... the NRL have denied this application

But if he were a Panthers' player...for the fans.

Adam Gee the legend.

Can we make a joke though? Like seriously this should be applauded but it is a ref, so we need to say something stupid about them:

I bet those in trouble were wearing Panthers’ jerseys.
