I don't recall that! 4 premierships in a decade, if anyone calls that underachieving, I'd be surpised.

Jumped 3 players? I don't think that's right. I'm assuming you mean Billy, Smoothy and Mozer? Smoothy has signed elsewhere, and Mozer is injured. So yeah, he's jumped 1, not 3.

Also, to be fair, a lot of those games were at the Tigers, where coaches go to die. I submit that when discussing coaching records, all Tigers years should be ignored 😉

Precisely when? No clue mate. Just when the discussions around here became about who replaces Kev if he is sacked, Maguire was my first thought. I'm not claiming to be connected or clever, it was just a logic thing. A) I didn't think they would try another rookie, and B) there was talk the...

To be fair, I predicted Madge, and I have no contacts LOL But yeah, in Buzz we trust

Oh well, Buzz said it, yeah ya got me :rofl

Because somehow in your strange world, a player getting injured is caused by a coaching mistake?

I wouldn't be shocked, nor worried, if Billy is in the 17 while Hunt is 6 and Mam's suspended. But I would be both of those if he is still there when Mam comes back.

It's been a full week without a BigPete 2025 team preview. I feel like a drug addict jonesing for a fix.

Totally loving the BigPete write-ups, but there's no such thing as too many Sproj lists ;) Anyone accuses you of that, well they are entitled to their very obviously wrong opinion

Yeah, but it's an IF.....the $150k at Manly was an offer he already had. There's no other way to interpret this, it was a bad move. He backed himself to get more, and it seems he was wrong.

Except he isn't. He has been in the NRL for 13 seasons and played 287 games. In half of those seasons, he has played every game. In all bar 3 seasons, he has exceeded 20 games. In each of the 3 seasons he fell under 20 games, the injuries were not ones that are recurring due to the body...

Of course he should, and he is. You are the only person who thinks he isn't.

Yeah definitely it's important, but you don't take the C away from a bloke just because he got an injury

So, in your world, prioritising your health to ensure you are at full fitness for the start of the actual season (you might know these as the games that matter), is a bad thing? And you think I have something to get over - yeah, right.
