okay so i'm used to following AFL and have only been following NRL for five years or so. how do feeder club arrangements usually work? do most clubs (outside of the raiders, storm and warriors i guess) have a single team with which they're aligned in the relevant state leagues? how long do those arrangements usually last - is 11 years a relatively long lasting one? also as a souths fan is this good or bad news for us and why

From my limited understanding: Some clubs run their own feeder teams. They also can partner up with clubs in the nsw or QLD cup to have players come up (eg the QLD teams typically draw from a few QLD cup teams, like the titans are connected to Central Queensland, Burleigh and Tweed Heads). These sorts of feeder teams can switch around - Burleigh was originally connected to GC and then switched to Brisbane before quickly going back to GC because it made no sense for them to be linking to them when they are physically part of GC (amongst other financial reasons). Teams like Melbourne might link to teams in both states (they have been linked to Central Coast, Easts Tigers, Sunshine Coast and the Bears back in the day). I don't think there's any rules about the time they're connected, some link up and drop within a year, others hang around. Some clubs farm out their lower grade teams to local affiliates - Wests Tigers for awhile were the Balmain Ryde Eastwood Tigers in the lower grade. Then for a bit they consolidated to having wests tigers in all grades, and now this year are back to just being Wests Magpies. Some of the feeder teams used to be top level teams, like Norths and Newtown. They typically link up to teams they don't hate too much, which is why it would be funny if the Bears signed up with Manly. Souths was a less abhorrent choice.

Wests Tigers posted:Kevin Naiqama to depart Wests Tigers at season’s end I've always admired Kevin's determination, if not always his skill, and I think he;s been in career-best form this year, especially in defence. Good on him, and I hope he tears it up over there.

I've enjoyed having Kev at the club, but unfortunately he's way too up and down with his attack and defence. He can go from brick wall to paper mache in an instant and his reads are not always in the vicinity of ok. I love his passion for the game and am thankful for his service, but I can't say I'm sad to see him go.

My favourite Naiqama moment was last year, when he missed three tackles in one play across sixty or seventy metres. Enormous commitment, not so much effectiveness, but I think he has been a lot more consistent this year.

I watched some of Castleford vs St Helens this morning. Didn't mind it as Castleford Tigers had a very Wests Tigers game so I felt right at home.

Watched replay of Raiders vs Manly, both teams are poo poo. Also, Austin should have been penalised on the siren for a deliberate knock-on but wasn't lol. If the refs had been competent Manly would have had a 50m kick to win it, very sad we didn't get the funniest finish in history. Very sad for JT, rip in peace

What are the warriors doing? Give up two tries when they're up a player and then another one through paper thin defence.

I went from being pissed off that iajwife's family wouldn't gently caress off and let me watch the game to thankful there was someone stopping me swearing at the TV in front of iaJunior.

Birdstrike posted:80 minutes of Ray Warren senility He's gone one too many himself. Shame they let that fuckwit Hadley white ant Voss for heir to the throne, they'd have a viable caller waiting in the wings instead of a boring arse fuckwit who loves to Channel 9 deadest thew Voss under a bus to head off being slagged off by Hadley on 2GB after Voss got a settlement off Hadley. Then Hadley bullied Voss out of the job and loving took it. Nine are weak as piss. But hilariously now I have a bit of an inside line into Nine and privy to a bit of the goings on, this doesn't surprise me now in the slightest. They really are a deeply unprofessional bunch before you even get to the on air stuff. In summary gently caress Nine, who I now only watch a couple of times a year where Fox has no Simulcast.

among other things I can’t remember Rabs called Fonua “Mahu” multiple times, said he “downloaded” the ball at least twice, and called Will Hopoate “John.”

MiniSune posted:He's gone one too many himself. The big problem with Hadley (asides from him being a petty oval office) is he's a good radio caller who has no idea how to call tv. He's never gotten any better and it just grates. Voss is massively more tolerable to listen to.

It's a real pity that Voss got forced out of Nine. He's probably the best caller in the game right now, but I'll always have a soft spot for Warren even if he's past it. Foxtel's non-Voss callers are absolute rubbish. My favourite combination was Warren and Sterlo, but they seem to have been split up now with Sterlo doing Fridays and Warren doing Sundays. Any time I hear Roach's voice I want to throw my remote through the TV.

Nable is the loving worst, he has the slowest drawl of all and never remembers anyone's name. I've lost count of the number of times I've yelled at him through the TV that the way to tell the difference between Marsters and Nofoaluma is that one has a 2 and the other has a 3 on their back.
