Pretty sure you'd be able to name the spine of most premiership winning teams. The middle forwards? Not so much. The good coaches get the spine right first, then follow with the rest.- Budgie

Tallyn Da Silva
Our problem for years now has been the Number 9. Our recruitment hunts down the best on the market and many here are up in arms. What is wrong with you people? Finally the club notices a problem and is proactive in fixing it. And as for the money, how much were we paying the Fainu boys when...- Budgie

Maybe. But when you have Brandon Smith 'announcing it' right after his Roosters exit, you'd have to imagine the players were all aware, at least of the rumours- Budgie

The Daly Cherrygraph
So the media say ad nauseum while, at the same time, laughing about the Roosters Sombrero. He is not a man of integrity but one of cunning guile. He charms the journos (puts them up at his Greek Island residence etc) and the head honchos of the NRL (conveniently next door neighbours of the...- Budgie

Anyone else over Voss?
Rabbits was the gold standard. He always highlighted the really great stuff ,"oh, that was special", and called with perfectly modulated enthusiasm. His positivity really grew our love for the game and made us feel good. The bloke we're stuck with listening to now, picks a team, death rides...- Budgie

What's worth streaming on TV.
The Bear is back (S4). I love it but apparently it's an acquired taste- Budgie

2026 recruitment & retention
Gosh this time of year must be difficult. Here we are trying to get Da Silva before Monday and while we don't know if he's coming or not, we have to hold the space rather than throw everything at a front rower of any kind, which we also need. Tricky- Budgie

This from Isaac Issa (dunno) on Insta: isaacissa_journalist 📬 MAIL: TALLYN DA SILVA TO MANLY? Sources close to the situation have suggested to me that Manly are on the verge of securing Tigers hooker Tallyn Da Silva, who is expected to make his final appearance for the club this Friday...- Budgie

Seibold speaks ... and makes sense
I guess it depends how you see the role of the coach. For me, he (or she but not in NRL) is most like the conductor in an orchestra, the final and most important element. An orchestra, like a sports team, can be brimming with the word's greatest talent, brilliant individuals. But without the...- Budgie

The job of the fan is to desperately hope for a premiership every year. The job of the coach is to get that premiership. All very simple. Just ask Ivan Cleary and Panthers fans.- Budgie
