As Penrith supporters, we love the players so much that we now also root for the Doggies, Tigers and Wahs. So not all of us are sooky-la-las. We want the boys to do well in their new clubs as well.
Stephen Crichton is still my favourite player as a Panthers supporter. He did so much for us as a big game player. I love watching him play for the Blues and wish him the best at the Doggies
As a mad panthers fan I have to say I love watching the dogs play. Out of all the players we let go they have my 3 favourites. All 3 great on and off the field. I will always wish them well.
Completely agree on the Olympics take, I used to love watching the athletes compete when I was a lil bit younger but now I’d rather just see the highlights on my socials

Chad Townsvilles succession plan will be Tom Duffy. He’s the 7 for the Northern Pride in the Queensland Cup, they’re currently top of the table and Tom could very well win player of the year. He’s a former Australian schoolboy who’s learned off Chaddy over the years. Having Chad around has been great for his development, another part of his time at the Cowboys that has been underrated
@@ya_m0th3r7 JT was asked about Drinky playing 5’8 and he said no chance, needs to learn how to defend at fullback. Think Tommy is too good of a runner to play 7. It’ll be between Cliff, Duffy and Purdue. Cliff doesn’t even play 7 in Q Cup, Purdue still a little raw for mine, so I think it’ll be Duffy. Regardless, Chad has passed on so much knowledge to these young guys. Blokes been great for NQC
Ngl was nervous asf the show had gone pg for a second, swear a couple f bombs in the first 2 mins were beeped, thank god. Some sponsors may not like it but it’s a part of what makes levels the 🐐 raw and unfiltered and without agendas
Big ups to all those Doggies fans! It was great to see them all celebrating in the stands and in the streets. The scenes out of Belmore and the local area was EPIC. Hopefully the Dogs can keep this momentum up.
OG. In the mid-2000s, I played for South Newcastle juniors. When we played against Central Charlestown, there was this big bean pole islander kid with an afro, and somehow word spread among us boys that he was your cousin or brother and if we hit him too hard you'd come and beat us up. No idea if he was related to you or it was just good old child stupidity, but I remember putting him on his back and then having a knot in my 14 year old gut because I thought you were on your way to get me for the rest of the day. Could barely get through my happy meal. Your fearsome reputation was legendary!
L1 from Day 1 - YEAH THE BOYS. The SJ news is huge! Over the years his highlights have put a smile on all Warriors fans faces and got the heart pumping. Everyone remembers how they felt and where they were when SJ set up the winning try in the 2011 preliminary final vs the Storm, beating myltiple defenders. My question is, "moment" (either playing or watching) that still gets you in the feels every time you watch it or think about it? Luv ya boys
Boys I've been convincing the misso that Luki behind the camera is actually Heilum Luki from the cowboys, I think the Olam tackle chat has blown my cover. It was fun while it lasted. Love the poddy, can't wait to see Willie on Home and Away after the golden globes.
Hey lads love the show been listening since the start. Wahs fan here just wanted to offer some insight into the sell outs. Last year they started to doing promos where if the wahs won, the tickets to the next home game were $10 each for the GA south stand for a period of 24 hours. Those tickets are $20 normally which is already cheaper than games I’ve been to in aus but the fact they do them for $10 has meant that I have gone to nearly every single home game this season and last season for bugger all and got heaps of mates that had never been to come along to games as well. People spend on food and drink when they’re there anyway and because the tickets are GA it encourages people to turn up early to get good seats. Not sure if you guys knew about this but for me it’s a huge part of the success of the game day experience and ticket sales in the last two seasons at mt smart.
I’m absolutely wrapped stefano is coming to melb, having said that he would thrive with either storm or bulldogs! The way the doggies have been going this year is fkn incredible and I’m a staunch storm fan! Doggies still have a shitload of good to look forward to regardless if they have stefano in their pack or not. That’s just my opinion. Thanks for another great poddy fellas, YEAH THE BOYS!
I think the Warriors have the biggest gulf between loyal fans and bandwagon fans. Day oners will sit through rainy Auckland winter night games year after year, while causal fans (that mostly come across from Union) will turn on the team super quickly because how can you support a team that doesn't have a win percentage of 82%?!.. I've been doing this for a while, every year, my hope is that we're better than a .500 team!
Tony Grimaldi is my favourite son. He played his absolute heart out every game from the start till the end. His constant effort I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.
Couldn't agree more on the Critta accolades. Such a clutch player as well. You mentioned his intercept from the previous GF, his kicks to the corner that changed the momentum for Bronx in their GF but also, do not forget his field goal against England in the world cup that also gave them a chance against Aus in the final. Also your comparisons on the greatest team in the past decade or so, NRL has salary caps unlike those other teams? The Storm dynasty, or Roosters for a while or now the current Panthers could be longer if wasn't for Salary Cap. Thus, Storm could be just as good against Patriots IMHO. Luv the show btw 😅 duration doesn't matter, I'm still tuning in to listen to your perspectives. Keep on going 💪💯
That's not a domestic comp though. IT was a made up international comp. And no history like NRL AFL. Good effort! But it keeps changing? The Melbourne Storm record would be a better example Quarter of a Century 23 finals! Being AFL that has never happened in 160 years.

Signed Cogger early last year to replace reserve grade half, who was off to super league. It was long before grand final heroics, made sense at time, not sure why everyone questions it now.
Hey boys love listening to the poddy on my drive to and from work. Gives me something to distract me from the daily grind. I’ve got a question for the OG in regards to game 1 in 07 at Suncorp. 12 mins to go, mase has the ball, gets tackled and offloads it but ref calls penalty saying he offloads it AFTER tackle being completed. What was running through your mind at the time coz I think anyone can agree the ball carrying arm didn’t touch the ground at all. Cheers guys 🔥
Love your podcast, been spreading the word… just want to know what’s ur take on Blaze and Isiah joining The Iceman with the Panthers next year would love your thoughts… love your work … btw Mason guest referee for the jimmy vs Waller for wrestlemania baby :)
Hey lads, big fan of the poddy. Question: If Chez hangs up the boots for origin, is Fog in the conversation for halfback? Obviously Walker and Dearden are in the running, but Fogarty as an older head, sound kicking game + game managing half, is he a shout? Interested to hear ya thoughts. Cheers lads
As we talk about the Olympics do you think you boys could organise like an nba all star weekend with the nrl teams one weekend, but do some of the main athletic Olympic events like 100m 200m 4x100m sprints, long jump high jump? Would like to see roosters manly 4x100m I think it could show cast some of our athletes
Sup lads the Belmore talk got me wondering, which NRL club fans in your experience were the most hostile or “passionate” when you were playing. Seeing the Bulldog crowds and wahs crowds this year go off really make the game better and just wanted to hear more on your past experiences cheers
For a storm fan I'm psychic for stefano utoikamanu a three-year deal with Melbourne he's going to be a mean backrower for the team and will improve his craft.
You can add tennis and skateboarding, to the break(dance)ing, 3x3 basketball, and golf. I'd like tug of war to make a comeback. For the future Western Sydney Olympics we can introduce the V8 Fully Sick Burnout as a new sport, as well as the What Are You Looking At, Brah.
Hey manly all time greats, how good was footy in Perth sold out crowd atmosphere was great and the premier Roger cook turned the lights of the stadium off and asked all to stand with him flashlights on and chant “perth nrl!”
L1 from day 1 here. Got a question for OG for the preview. In your prime who would you least rather run straight at off kick off, out of hass, Tino, NAS, JWH, JFH or a shmokeyyy one jurbo. Personally fuck running it at JWH while he’s fresh. Love the poddy I tune in every ep, replaced kempy because I can’t tune in for those 3 and half hour poddys anymore. Keep up the good work, storms year baby ❤
Tbf tickets for the warriors games are quite cheap 😂 and I feel like they save seats for partnerships bc there’s always a section that’s quite empty. My uncle works for an alcohol company and his work were gifting tickets they got to a wahs game a couple months ago and I think that was through partnership
Hey. Listened to the podcast today and heard how you weren’t impressed with the olympics. Give the sport climbing a watch. Specifically the speed climbing. It’s like sprinting up a wall. Looks incredible and the strength of these guys and girls is incredible. Got me into the olympics when I first watched at the Tokyo games. It’s on all this week at around 6pm and 9pm. Cheers Thanks for the pod.
BMX is a legit sport and has been around for ages, it just wasn't main stream. Saya Sakakibarra is a LEGEND!!! and her story and what happened to her brother is one of the best Olympic stories ever. I guess it's different for me because I grew up racing BMX. I also grew up playing Rugby League as well. They are introducing new sports to stay relevant with the next generation. Surfing is long over due.
Hey boys in reality was there any actual coaches available for the Eels jobs. Heard people saying they should've gone for one, but all that seemed available or if reach were madge, Holbrook and others I can't think of. Love the poddy from you both. Let's OJ!
Excuse my ignorance here but it was a thought after hearing the To’o & Penrith take.. Do you think there could be a world where if players have been brought through a clubs junior system and pathways programme that if clubs still want them and the player wants to stay, are allowed to regardless of the salary cap? Pay them as much as they are worth. Keeps them in the club they grew up loving and close to home should they want to stay. On the flip side strictly enforce the salary cap on players not from those junior clubs in local areas? Keen to hear your thoughts. I know it’s just the way it is but if a club has helped developed the player into who they are perhaps there could be a way they can see the long term benefit of it, as opposed to the player having to leave and then that benefiting another club that had nothing to do with their growth.
It's hard to compare rugby league win percentages to football in particular, top football teams in Europe can play 60 games in a season if they make cup finals across the board
Hurts how the Broncos have gone this season, not really any excuses though. While ill go down with the ship backing them each week I need a dog for the finals race and will be on the Dogggiessssss. Boys pumped the BSC energy drink enough found myself getting one at work, tasty.
Hey boys. I have to call you out on excluding Bellamy from the coach of the year talk again. You yourselves said the Storm squad isn't in the top 3 of the comp this year. They have had a tonne of injuries to key players all year. Yet here they are staring another minor premiership in the face - at worst a top 2 finish. If we are only looking at this year in isolation - then Bellamy has taken a squad of no names (apart from the spine & NAS) to a top 2 finish. If we want to look at previous years as a factor - you could argue the effort to stay at the top and improve is more difficult than rebounding from the bottom. Every other club has had at least 1 rebuild and a period of time out of the finals in the last 10 years. Penrith missed the finals in 2019 before their run of 5 grand finals. Roosters finished 2nd last in 2016. I'm not even a Storm fan but the numbers are there for us all to see. Since 2003 when he started at the Storm - Bellamy has made the finals 21/22 times now - only once missing in 2010 due to the salary cap penalty. That includes 9 grand finals - 5 grand final wins including the 2 stripped ones - and 8 minor premierships including the 3 stripped ones. The closest to that would be Bennett's 1st stint at the Broncos - who made the finals 17/20 times - including 6 grand finals - 6 grand final wins and 4 minor premierships. The continual ability to have the Storm at the pointy end is unrivalled. Look at the players he improves when they go down there - time and time again the likes of Blore and Katoa improve under his coaching. By any measure he is the clear standout for coach of the year for me.
Juventus won 9 domestic titles in a row between 2011-2020 and 4 Domestic cups Bayern Munich won 11 domestic titles in a row between 2012-2023, 12 Domestic cups and 2 Champions Leagues
Re the most successful teams, win percentage competitors would be the All Blacks, and the most successful franchise competitor would be the Crusaders, with 14 titles since 1996
Less go Doggies. Mase who do you rank as the best Doggie to play for the club? Mine was and always be Baa, plenty of other greats but I'd love you opinion.
IMO big Mase is well off the mark in terms of Reynos greatness in the last 10 years. Although he wasn’t a start player in that GF team. He’s been in multiple prelims and GF’s. Although he hasn’t brought us Bronxnation fans the big trophy. The control and touch of class to end sets or try assists last year was insane. This wasn’t just a one year wonder for him. Over the last 10 years, there’s hardly been a more consistent 7
Boys, love the pod. As a Raiders fan I’m saddened to see the Corey Horsburgh situation result in him seeking an early release. But fans are worried about another player that appears stuck in NSW Cup, and that’s Hohepa Puru. The kid came here on a train and trial early last year and was playing first grade (for the suspended Horsburgh) late last year. To refresh the memory, he got knocked out first minute of the final against the Knights. From the train and trial last year was promoted to a Top 30 Roster Spot and has an option on his deal for 2025 which I believe is mutual, he has also been named captain of the NSW Cup side. The Raiders loving public has fears that if he doesn’t play grade anytime soon, he will look to leave. I do have a few questions off the back of this. If I was to compare it to a Horsburgh situation it definitely isn’t the same, we can understand why Corey isn’t happy because he has the runs on the board, played in a Grand Final, played Origin, looked to take a leap into being a real senior member in the side. Compared to a player is a young kid and the club he’s at has a long term plan for him but the plan doesn’t look like first grade for now. My question is this: Mase would work closely with situations like these at the Bulldogs with pathways - But many fans would believe that Puru’s form should be rewarded. So how does a club look at a potential next man up, and let them know if there was an opportunity to make the jump and it didn’t happen for them, what factors go into keeping them buying in to what the development plan would be? As in saying, if he isn’t getting an opportunity now, what would be the goal in his development plan before the club looks into activating a mutual option?
Dolphins are huge in Perth. Dolphins have had 2 home games now and there’s a big push here for the dolphins to be everyone’s team over here. Heaps of roosters jerseys too cause Fremantles rugby league team is called the roosters so south Perth are default roosters fans. Joey wasn’t anywhere near the people enough to be making those sorts of calls
A question for the skip. Watching you at Manly and being great mates with DCE, quite rightly shows where your allegiances are when it comes to supporting an NRL team. Respectfully, what confuses me is the negativity you have towards them consistently. Is it because you feel like they are underperforming and should be placed better in this competition? Even when they go on a run or perform at a high click, you don’t seem to give them their flowers. It’s not just a recency thing either. Just curious. Cheers
Comment on the Dolphins v Easts game on Friday night. With 12:40 to go in the first half. Tedesco tackles Bostock 5 metres out, is on the ground when the ball is played to Plath, makes no effort to mark up and then tackles Plath less than 5 metres out. How in the world is that not a professional foul? Everyone in the universe saw that except the Ref and the geniuses in the Blinker. Not saying that it would have altered the result but with the Dolphins behind 18-12 and Tedesco in the bin it could well have been a Dolphins win. As it was it was a howler and certainly hasn't done them any favours trying to get into the finals. If it even gets mentioned by Annesley I'd like to see how he explains why Tesco stayed on the field other than to say "Sorry Wayne, we stuffed you up again". No surprise that he didn't. A bit of perspective on the Titans. In the first half of the season they lost to Raiders by 1 point, Manly by 2, Storm by 2 and Knights by 4. They’ve also beaten the Warriors (twice) Cowboys, Broncos (twice), Sharks and the Dolphins. I’d call that a pass! On the Broncos. I have been a solid supporter from day one and definitely not a fair-weather fan. What has changed this year, especially in the last few months is their attitude. It's all very well to get excited by Walsh but I (and a shedload of mates) now find myself not watching for the next bit of brilliance but for how they're going to make their next cockup like passing into the grandstand or a metre forward out of dummy half etc. etc. You can't blame Kevvie for that crap. Redcliffe now owns Brisbane - there is absolutely no comparison between the Broncos and Dolphins when it comes to grunt effort. Maybe get rid of mirrors in Broncos sheds?
Hey boys once again since yous didn’t mention it blaize signed to play 5/8 he’s played there his whole career he’s not a winger,centre or fullback he wants to play 5/8
where did Triple OG get his stat for storm being the most successful team since '06? crusaders definitely take the cake for that one 10 super rugby championships since 05'
i think the main thing that denotes how well games sell for losing teams is the game day experience. i agree souths fans are die hard but the Accor stadium regular season game day is objectively one of the worst in the league, parking, eating and atmosphere, that stadium isnt built for NRL like alliance, Combank and suncorp are. Its good for Grand finals as atmosphere lifts it but the seats have very crap viewing
Hey levels, don’t have a dog in the NRL (call me a rugby league nomad) love the game and when the footy is good I’m a happy man. Why do you hate the sharks? I thought you were a neutral program? Keep up the good work
Nah I don't mate. I just had my concerns on roster going in to season and therefore was labelled a Sharks hater by a few disgruntled fans. It's all just in jest mate haha - Horo
Patriots success is impressive, but they play 17 round robin games and then 4 play-off games.. theres no rep footy in season or end of season.. and the players play less than half of the game lol. I'll take uncle wiremu's fact that the storm are top 😂
The Olympics are on 2 weeks every 4 years and you reckon it should be trimmed down while the NRL goes for 8 months of the year 4 days a week and you lads are watching reserve grade, NRLW etc. Turn it up Horo.
As Penrith supporters, we love the players so much that we now also root for the Doggies, Tigers and Wahs. So not all of us are sooky-la-las. We want the boys to do well in their new clubs as well.

- 6 Games for Samoa
- 9 games for NSW
-3 premierships with the panthers (so he would have been 19, 20, 21 years old)
-Played in a World Cup grand final (and scored a try against the best team in the world)
- won state of origin absolutely destroying Queensland at Suncorp
And is now the captain of a resurgent bulldogs team that is now fighting for a top 4 position that we wouldn’t of even considered thinking about over 4-5 years ago, I can’t wait to see what’s in-store for his future when he gets mores games under his belt, could become a bulldogs, if not a NRL legend.
That's partly why the Panthers lost to the Storm in the 2020 GF. They were too young and inexperienced for Cameron Smith.

Love your podcast, been spreading the word… just want to know what’s ur take on Blaze and Isiah joining The Iceman with the Panthers next year would love your thoughts… love your work … btw Mason guest referee for the jimmy vs Waller for wrestlemania baby :)
Hey lads, big fan of the poddy.
Question:
If Chez hangs up the boots for origin, is Fog in the conversation for halfback?
Obviously Walker and Dearden are in the running, but Fogarty as an older head, sound kicking game + game managing half, is he a shout? Interested to hear ya thoughts. Cheers lads
Awesome boys
As we talk about the Olympics do you think you boys could organise like an nba all star weekend with the nrl teams one weekend, but do some of the main athletic Olympic events like 100m 200m 4x100m sprints, long jump high jump? Would like to see roosters manly 4x100m I think it could show cast some of our athletes
You know you’re a good bloke when mase calls you a great human
Sup lads the Belmore talk got me wondering, which NRL club fans in your experience were the most hostile or “passionate” when you were playing. Seeing the Bulldog crowds and wahs crowds this year go off really make the game better and just wanted to hear more on your past experiences cheers
For a storm fan I'm psychic for stefano utoikamanu a three-year deal with Melbourne he's going to be a mean backrower for the team and will improve his craft.
Wahs got a 1% chance 99% faith #UpTheWahs
You can add tennis and skateboarding, to the break(dance)ing, 3x3 basketball, and golf. I'd like tug of war to make a comeback. For the future Western Sydney Olympics we can introduce the V8 Fully Sick Burnout as a new sport, as well as the What Are You Looking At, Brah.
Some great young talent for Panthers to pick from next year. For me Talangi 3/4, Cole 6, and Alamoti/C or J Maclean on the wing to partner To'o.
Hey manly all time greats, how good was footy in Perth sold out crowd atmosphere was great and the premier Roger cook turned the lights of the stadium off and asked all to stand with him flashlights on and chant “perth nrl!”
L1 from day 1 here. Got a question for OG for the preview. In your prime who would you least rather run straight at off kick off, out of hass, Tino, NAS, JWH, JFH or a shmokeyyy one jurbo. Personally fuck running it at JWH while he’s fresh.
Love the poddy I tune in every ep, replaced kempy because I can’t tune in for those 3 and half hour poddys anymore.
Keep up the good work, storms year baby ❤
Tbf tickets for the warriors games are quite cheap 😂 and I feel like they save seats for partnerships bc there’s always a section that’s quite empty. My uncle works for an alcohol company and his work were gifting tickets they got to a wahs game a couple months ago and I think that was through partnership
generally the empty seats when they report sold out are the season ticket holders who dont show up....
When Curren went to the Bulldogs. Did he share Warriors defence with Bulldogs? Because you have to admit this is mirror image o the Warriors?
Hey. Listened to the podcast today and heard how you weren’t impressed with the olympics. Give the sport climbing a watch. Specifically the speed climbing. It’s like sprinting up a wall. Looks incredible and the strength of these guys and girls is incredible. Got me into the olympics when I first watched at the Tokyo games. It’s on all this week at around 6pm and 9pm.
Cheers
Thanks for the pod.
Manute Bol would be good to play from the grave Willie 😂
BMX is a legit sport and has been around for ages, it just wasn't main stream. Saya Sakakibarra is a LEGEND!!! and her story and what happened to her brother is one of the best Olympic stories ever.
I guess it's different for me because I grew up racing BMX. I also grew up playing Rugby League as well.
They are introducing new sports to stay relevant with the next generation. Surfing is long over due.
Hey boys in reality was there any actual coaches available for the Eels jobs. Heard people saying they should've gone for one, but all that seemed available or if reach were madge, Holbrook and others I can't think of. Love the poddy from you both. Let's OJ!
Excuse my ignorance here but it was a thought after hearing the To’o & Penrith take.. Do you think there could be a world where if players have been brought through a clubs junior system and pathways programme that if clubs still want them and the player wants to stay, are allowed to regardless of the salary cap? Pay them as much as they are worth. Keeps them in the club they grew up loving and close to home should they want to stay. On the flip side strictly enforce the salary cap on players not from those junior clubs in local areas? Keen to hear your thoughts. I know it’s just the way it is but if a club has helped developed the player into who they are perhaps there could be a way they can see the long term benefit of it, as opposed to the player having to leave and then that benefiting another club that had nothing to do with their growth.
It's hard to compare rugby league win percentages to football in particular, top football teams in Europe can play 60 games in a season if they make cup finals across the board
Hurts how the Broncos have gone this season, not really any excuses though. While ill go down with the ship backing them each week I need a dog for the finals race and will be on the Dogggiessssss.
Boys pumped the BSC energy drink enough found myself getting one at work, tasty.
Hey boys. I have to call you out on excluding Bellamy from the coach of the year talk again. You yourselves said the Storm squad isn't in the top 3 of the comp this year. They have had a tonne of injuries to key players all year. Yet here they are staring another minor premiership in the face - at worst a top 2 finish. If we are only looking at this year in isolation - then Bellamy has taken a squad of no names (apart from the spine & NAS) to a top 2 finish. If we want to look at previous years as a factor - you could argue the effort to stay at the top and improve is more difficult than rebounding from the bottom. Every other club has had at least 1 rebuild and a period of time out of the finals in the last 10 years. Penrith missed the finals in 2019 before their run of 5 grand finals. Roosters finished 2nd last in 2016. I'm not even a Storm fan but the numbers are there for us all to see. Since 2003 when he started at the Storm - Bellamy has made the finals 21/22 times now - only once missing in 2010 due to the salary cap penalty. That includes 9 grand finals - 5 grand final wins including the 2 stripped ones - and 8 minor premierships including the 3 stripped ones. The closest to that would be Bennett's 1st stint at the Broncos - who made the finals 17/20 times - including 6 grand finals - 6 grand final wins and 4 minor premierships. The continual ability to have the Storm at the pointy end is unrivalled. Look at the players he improves when they go down there - time and time again the likes of Blore and Katoa improve under his coaching. By any measure he is the clear standout for coach of the year for me.
Are use making an appearance to the wahs vs bulldogs
tug-o-war should be in the Olympics
Juventus won 9 domestic titles in a row between 2011-2020 and 4 Domestic cups
Bayern Munich won 11 domestic titles in a row between 2012-2023, 12 Domestic cups and 2 Champions Leagues
Re the most successful teams, win percentage competitors would be the All Blacks, and the most successful franchise competitor would be the Crusaders, with 14 titles since 1996
Less go Doggies.
Mase who do you rank as the best Doggie to play for the club?
Mine was and always be Baa, plenty of other greats but I'd love you opinion.
IMO big Mase is well off the mark in terms of Reynos greatness in the last 10 years. Although he wasn’t a start player in that GF team. He’s been in multiple prelims and GF’s. Although he hasn’t brought us Bronxnation fans the big trophy. The control and touch of class to end sets or try assists last year was insane. This wasn’t just a one year wonder for him. Over the last 10 years, there’s hardly been a more consistent 7
Manute bol's old fella would count as a extra playa.
RIP bigman
Boys, love the pod. As a Raiders fan I’m saddened to see the Corey Horsburgh situation result in him seeking an early release. But fans are worried about another player that appears stuck in NSW Cup, and that’s Hohepa Puru.
The kid came here on a train and trial early last year and was playing first grade (for the suspended Horsburgh) late last year. To refresh the memory, he got knocked out first minute of the final against the Knights. From the train and trial last year was promoted to a Top 30 Roster Spot and has an option on his deal for 2025 which I believe is mutual, he has also been named captain of the NSW Cup side.
The Raiders loving public has fears that if he doesn’t play grade anytime soon, he will look to leave. I do have a few questions off the back of this. If I was to compare it to a Horsburgh situation it definitely isn’t the same, we can understand why Corey isn’t happy because he has the runs on the board, played in a Grand Final, played Origin, looked to take a leap into being a real senior member in the side. Compared to a player is a young kid and the club he’s at has a long term plan for him but the plan doesn’t look like first grade for now.
My question is this: Mase would work closely with situations like these at the Bulldogs with pathways - But many fans would believe that Puru’s form should be rewarded. So how does a club look at a potential next man up, and let them know if there was an opportunity to make the jump and it didn’t happen for them, what factors go into keeping them buying in to what the development plan would be? As in saying, if he isn’t getting an opportunity now, what would be the goal in his development plan before the club looks into activating a mutual option?
Rugby Sevens in Australia in Adelaide
I remember going to belmore in the 90's as a kid, saw about 10 fights and a stabbing, yeah it's crazy and not in a good way
Whats willies thoughts on the dogs fan bullying the raider fan
After sj came 2nd for dally m last year, hasn’t been the same.
The Wahs started a trend!
Those sports are international sports. They’re played all over the world.
Dolphins are huge in Perth. Dolphins have had 2 home games now and there’s a big push here for the dolphins to be everyone’s team over here. Heaps of roosters jerseys too cause Fremantles rugby league team is called the roosters so south Perth are default roosters fans. Joey wasn’t anywhere near the people enough to be making those sorts of calls
A question for the skip. Watching you at Manly and being great mates with DCE, quite rightly shows where your allegiances are when it comes to supporting an NRL team. Respectfully, what confuses me is the negativity you have towards them consistently. Is it because you feel like they are underperforming and should be placed better in this competition? Even when they go on a run or perform at a high click, you don’t seem to give them their flowers. It’s not just a recency thing either. Just curious. Cheers
Saying you hate the Sharks on a big platform like this is a net negative. This is a great show. Be better.
Comment on the Dolphins v Easts game on Friday night. With 12:40 to go in the first half. Tedesco tackles Bostock 5 metres out, is on the ground when the ball is played to Plath, makes no effort to mark up and then tackles Plath less than 5 metres out. How in the world is that not a professional foul? Everyone in the universe saw that except the Ref and the geniuses in the Blinker. Not saying that it would have altered the result but with the Dolphins behind 18-12 and Tedesco in the bin it could well have been a Dolphins win. As it was it was a howler and certainly hasn't done them any favours trying to get into the finals. If it even gets mentioned by Annesley I'd like to see how he explains why Tesco stayed on the field other than to say "Sorry Wayne, we stuffed you up again". No surprise that he didn't. A bit of perspective on the Titans. In the first half of the season they lost to Raiders by 1 point, Manly by 2, Storm by 2 and Knights by 4. They’ve also beaten the Warriors (twice) Cowboys, Broncos (twice), Sharks and the Dolphins. I’d call that a pass! On the Broncos. I have been a solid supporter from day one and definitely not a fair-weather fan. What has changed this year, especially in the last few months is their attitude. It's all very well to get excited by Walsh but I (and a shedload of mates) now find myself not watching for the next bit of brilliance but for how they're going to make their next cockup like passing into the grandstand or a metre forward out of dummy half etc. etc. You can't blame Kevvie for that crap. Redcliffe now owns Brisbane - there is absolutely no comparison between the Broncos and Dolphins when it comes to grunt effort. Maybe get rid of mirrors in Broncos sheds?
Big red played for the dogs on a loan deal he was awesome
Hey boys once again since yous didn’t mention it blaize signed to play 5/8 he’s played there his whole career he’s not a winger,centre or fullback he wants to play 5/8
He tore the h matt's and sg ball up at 6, in the games I seen
@@maxfish4770 had someone tell my last week I was delusional for saying he was going for luais vacant spot 😂
where did Triple OG get his stat for storm being the most successful team since '06? crusaders definitely take the cake for that one 10 super rugby championships since 05'
Great game at Belmore. Shame about the Raiders drummer being attacked on his way to the car.
Why are the swears getting beeped out?
wahs got fisher coming over next year dayumnnnnnn we still good
Loved the Olympic chat. Totally agree, I'm not into it.
Podcast is mean..but whoever is tryingbto filter the swearing..DONT... kills it bruh
i think the main thing that denotes how well games sell for losing teams is the game day experience. i agree souths fans are die hard but the Accor stadium regular season game day is objectively one of the worst in the league, parking, eating and atmosphere, that stadium isnt built for NRL like alliance, Combank and suncorp are. Its good for Grand finals as atmosphere lifts it but the seats have very crap viewing
Most Centres are left side or right side specialist. Critta has proven to be specialist on either side 🙏
Facts - Horo
He must’ve not heard of the Crusaders
Hey levels, don’t have a dog in the NRL (call me a rugby league nomad) love the game and when the footy is good I’m a happy man. Why do you hate the sharks? I thought you were a neutral program? Keep up the good work
Nah I don't mate. I just had my concerns on roster going in to season and therefore was labelled a Sharks hater by a few disgruntled fans. It's all just in jest mate haha - Horo
Patriots success is impressive, but they play 17 round robin games and then 4 play-off games.. theres no rep footy in season or end of season.. and the players play less than half of the game lol. I'll take uncle wiremu's fact that the storm are top 😂
The more I see Sam Hughes play, the more he reminds me of Darren Britt.
If he even gets to be half as good as Britt, Dogs are laughing.
11:52 / 2:01:49 lmfaoooo🤣
💯💯 Olympics gone to woke gettttt foooooked
So the Bulldog's paid players to come to the Bulldogs?
no chance flanagan gets coach of the year, a team who gets pumped by 40+ every other week compared to the dogs who are in the contest every week.
Not a bad take on the Olympics.
#freeluki
Bulldogs fave son you forgot Josh Reynolds ❤
The Olympics are on 2 weeks every 4 years and you reckon it should be trimmed down while the NRL goes for 8 months of the year 4 days a week and you lads are watching reserve grade, NRLW etc.
Turn it up Horo.
thumbs up boys
being a WARRIORS fan is not for the weak…
