I'm going to go for Parramatta this year in the finals. If for nothing else the one panthers fan I know is being a smug dick and gently caress the storm and gently caress the roosters.

Leilua has gone out of the bubble and back to Canberra for personal reasons, not sure if that's better or worse for us

I’d be shocked if he hadn’t already had a tanty and walked out on other underperforming clubs before

Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.

How is it that every one of use could instantly identify that signing at the time as an obvious disaster waiting to happen yet highly paid Tigers officials couldn't? Latest in a long line of Tigers mindboggling bad recruitment decisions.

Good enough! Not new like Covid new. Went to see them at Redfern last year against Penrith when I was in Sydney. Feels like a great team to support if I want to be disappointed every year (based on the last 18 months).

See, that I can deal with, it’s when the scores are going the other way that it bothers me. But, I accept that’s part of the game, and that’s more on my own issues than anything else.

Feel free to stick around and ask questions. We're a bunch of suicicidal alcoholics so we constantly need to build our numbers. Have you seen Midsommar? We're a bit like that. The Warriors and Tigers fans here are like the guy that jumps off the cliff and fucks it up.

We don't give a gently caress about who you support as long as it isn't Easts. gently caress the cunts.

To be honest, most people here are so inherently pessimistic that no matter how well their team is going in a game they'll be talking about how well the opponents are going and the inevitable comeback.

Sadly racism is alive and well in society. We're definitely making progress, but it certainly isn't a problem that has been solved.
