I wasn't invited since they knew I couldn't be bought

@LeagueScenePod @NRLonNine Jarome Luai watching in the audience, aware he caused this argument:

There’s been an almighty blow up on Nine’s 100% Footy tonight. Perth Bears board member and host James Bracey took on Paul Gallen after Gal claimed the Bears have “done nothing” in the wake of PNG signing Jarome Luai. See part of the exchange and full episode on @NRLonNine ⬇️

🧵 We all know the story of Australian rugby union's slow demise and the trajectory the NRL is on. Here are some analytics from Google Trends on search volume comparing the NRL and Super Rugby. It would be cool to be able to see the data before 2004.

@Parko23 @The_Shoe24

Me just tryna enjoy a reasonably good start to the season when along come the fans of every other club for a Sunday pile on top the poor of Tigers fans. ANYONE CELEBRATING THIS LOSS IS EXPERIENCING ILLEGITIMATE JOY COZ WE'VE GOT HEAPS OF EXCUSES!!!

@PSillato @TMFScottP It’s not one or the other. Last year was much closer to the right balance

@TMFScottP @mitcheels1 So you want to go back to the grapple and wrestle, that’s a thousand times worse. I get it’s too much attack oriented but better to see a team win by 40 than 20 if both games one sided and the score only slowed down because the inferior team blatantly cheats.

Too many points being scored in the #NRL. The six-agains might make it more 'exciting', but it's killing footy as we know it.

@WiseOne68 @ReadingThePlay @SrSittingBull Might be our best chance to change it back

@SrSittingBull The broadcasters love this glorified touch footy shite but the betting companies are definitely not fans

*their team is always right

Every fanbase has at least one NRL twitter account in each of the following categories: random old person, data guy, famous fan, hilarious memes, independent fan site, can’t handle a loss, randomly aggressive, NRL is a conspiracy, their team can is always right. Who did I miss?

@mitcheels1 The person whose team doesn’t exist any more..

@adawesy1 Shocking that you would think it was a try 😂

@mitcheels1 Cleary would never have got there, neither would the bloke on his outside- play on 😀

Thats a dreadful decision - Cleary absolutely impeded, defensive line then short on that edge On field refs I can cop (humans in the heat of the moment) but the Bunker (with all the technology, time & replays available) just can’t keep getting these calls wrong. #NRLPanthersManly

@mitcheels1 Trust me, I agree with you. I think they only gave it because of what the ref said on field. If he doesn’t say that, I think it gets disallowed.

@wxrdlife The Bunker is there to check for ref mistakes. If the ref is in error, that’s why we have the Bunker. Bunker should have made the right call.

@mitcheels1 Nah I’m blaming the ref for this one. He had no reason to say on field that he thought it had no bearing on the try, it basically influenced the bunker to give it.

Gees @The_Shoe24 has let himself go. #NRLSharksTigers

Jerome when his team needs him

Bears CEO Anthony De Ceglie says the club has no issue with PNG’s tax-free incentives and warned against doubting them. “People who underestimate an Immortal like Mal underestimate him at their own peril,” he said. (Daily Telegraph)

@MattMoylansLegs Brian Kelly:

Sifa Talakai attacking: 👍 Sifa Talakai defending: 👎 It was always thus, and always thus it will be

@palejawsh @Katzo60 @NRL Yeah I’m not taking a position - just saying that was a perfect Katzmann moment

@mitcheels1 @Katzo60 @NRL The proud life member is entitled to his own opinion but I dont have to agree with it like he doesnt agree with mine

Im sorry @NRL what a complete basket case. How do you get penalised 3 times. On report twice. And walk away without a single charge from the judiciary????
