@SHELTONZOR@Tiger_Takes 100%, but now as soon as they get a taste of first grade, they want or expect to be out and out starters every week and when they get asked to bide their time in Cup, they leave. Whether that's poor influence from their managers or an ego problem, it ain't a good look
@trravisd@Tiger_Takes When I was younger young future nrl players would’ve love to sit behind a legend for as long as possible. Be his shadow and a sponge
Last year, Tallyn Da Silva said to the club that he should be starting over Api Koroisau & would leave if Api re-signed. Benji backed Api. This year, Api has led us to equal 1st, a 4-1 record and is in the origin frame. TDS is playing ~20 mins off the bench for the 2nd last team.
@trravisd Agreed. It’s a red flag if you think you can’t sit behind and learn from the most decorated hooker in the game (won 3 comps). It worked wonders for Harry Grant behind Cam Smith.
🐰 TRANSFER NEWS: Jamie Humphreys admits he would love to remain at the Rabbitohs "long-term" but is open to a move to the Bears. @FOXNRL
And another Bunny is keen to remain on in 2027 to play with former schoolmate Payne Haas.

Another Parra player injured due to foul play
Now, Kautoga is set to see 4-12 weeks on the sidelines
@NRL, do something...It's only us on the bad end of these illegal challenges, and we have barely any players
Take action
A major blow for the Panthers with Liam Martin set for time on the sideline.
Scans today confirmed the 2024 Clive Churchill Medallist suffered medial ligament damage.

This could be genuinely a NSW Blues shootout out wide.
Campbell Graham and Jacob Kiraz, both a massive chance to snare Zac Lomax’s vacant Blues jersey.
Both tackle busting, lanky wingers, great in the air and even better making metres out of their own end
Who’ve you got?

Some political news that will have ramifications for the NRL, with the government to ban gambling sponsorships appearing on jerseys.
Currently several teams, including the Broncos, Roosters and Dolphins, would fall foul of these rules.
@antonposa Souths fan, only really started watching NRL in 2018 but I honestly couldn't tell you who I was most excited about, I guess Trell is up there, Arrow (at that time) I thought was a good signing but I was probably most excited with AJ resigning if that would still count
With all the signings doing the rounds, I wondered which Wahs one I was most excited about in the last ten years. Some really good ones with SJ and RTS returning. But I think for me it was James Fisher-Harris. Just knew what he would bring.
Who is yours for your club?
The Newcastle Knights lead 16-0 at halftime.
The Bulldogs haven’t score more than 14 points in an entire NRL game yet this season.
Are they any chance of a comeback here?

Bronson Xerri has reportedly weighed up stepping away from the NRL during the off-season amid major changes in his life. “Xerri has made some big off-field changes recently. Finding religion has been a significant one, but not the most. He has also questioned his desire to play rugby league,” (Sydney Morning Herald).

🚨🌕| WSW would be willing to pay some of Brandon Borrello’s (30) significant salary for next season if another club made an offer for him.
[@marcothejourno]
🚨 @marcothejourno (🌕) - [19.2.2026]:
In terms of the [WSW] squad, expect a big cleanout of players.
Kosta Barbarouses, Alou Kuol, Bozhidar Kraev and Josh Brillante – all of who are off contract at the end of the season – will not be offered new deals.
@trravisd@JoelGould6@storm@brisbanebroncos yeah look i'd prefer mariner on the wing but he did start at right centre for us last year and went okay. shiba abd ezra's defence was so bad that I'd rather see shiba dropped before mariner
Broncos training news
Adam Reynolds (rib) 50/50. Running OK & into line in semi-contact ahead of @storm v @brisbanebroncos
Brendan Piakura (knee) unencumbered. Must be close. Grant Anderson reps on wing. In mix.
Next 48 hrs crucial for Reyno . Full contact will be key.
@youngmenxce@JoelGould6@storm@brisbanebroncos But last season i seen plenty of bronx fans calling for mariner to not play center cos he couldn't defend there or had handling errors etc.
