    Best Ever Signings

    The Warriors didn't exactly excel when Cleary left. Not that I think that was his fault, plenty of factors at play when a coach changes.

    Yep, Hagan’s year in charge of the salary cap pretty much buried the club.

    Best Ever Signings

    Zeb Taia was a great one. Played a handful of first grade games at Parramatta and came here on a cheap contract - was probably in the top five second rowers in the game in 2009, became an international as well. Sadly Bennett came in, played him at prop and jettisoned him to Superleague (where...

    I bet @mozza is going to have something to say about this, by the way! 😂

    He also went through six different coaching regimes in his 11 years of first grade which wouldn’t have helped. If he’d spent his entire career at the Storm he’d probably be talked about as one of the ATGs, I reckon. I do think he was pretty consistent though!

    That’s a big call. I’d love Mullen now! For me he’s comfortably our best half since Joey, and was consistently in our top two or three players every season he was with us. His long kicking game was always one of the best in the competition. Deserved more games for NSW as well. Really happy to...

    I would assume you wouldn't be allowed to play if knowingly pregnant. Looks like replacements are allowed under the salary cap during pregnancy and while on maternity leave: https://www.nrl.com/news/2023/01/31/response-regarding-nrlw-pregnancy-and-parental-policy-private-health-insurance/

    Well … I will try to put the Jillaroos/Kiwi Ferns decision aside and wish her the best of luck in the red and blue. 😬😭😂

    Seems to be zero talk about any interest in him, so I think we will be able to do a deal with KPP.

    2025 Recruitment And Retention

    I went there for a Knights game in 2011 and thought it was really cool. But maybe I was lucky, because we got beautiful weather, the Knights won 22-12 (which I think was just our second or third win there at the time) and we were there for the ANZAC celebrations/dawn ceremony which were very moving.

    His elbow bends an amazing amount backwards as well. Between those he can get some real whip on the ball.

    Just a reminder that we should not be making allegations of drug use or anything like that on here. We’ve seen legal action against people for doing stuff like this just a month or two ago. Cmon people, think before posting!

    Yeah the game was over after day one. Not looking like good weather tomorrow so I'll just stay home. Happy to leave the Barmy Army and their endless annoying songs to it!

    This moment always summed up Richie Fa'aoso to me, made the error to blow a try with the line wide open, but came back a few moments later with a run that nobody would ever have been able to stop to tie the match up.

    Really good to see him take ownership like that, great sign.

    England well on top. I'm going on Sunday but it might be pretty close to over by then. Have to ask yourself how this can be the same team that triumphed in India ...

    I'm sorry I even mentioned it, it was just pointing out a lot of NRL media doesn't make any sense, not some impassioned defence of AOB.

    Who knows what would have happened, if we didn't have Ponga we might have managed to sign someone like Reynolds or Hunt, and everything would be completely different.
