  1. Ron E. Gibbs

    Jake T.

    And he did the same thing a few weeks ago for his first concussion of the season. Said it then, but it's worth repeating that there was a time when Jake would NEVER get his head in the wrong position defensively. We're talking about a player with one of the best defensive techniques of the NRL...

    MVP: Rd 11 v Cowboys

    Hard to split the 3 and 2, but here goes: 3. Burbo. Not just the best Trbojevic on the field. Great efforts from him in attack and defence. 2. Lehi. My God, that skinny little bugger gets through a mountain of work, and does whatever it takes to get the maximum amount of metres he can on every...

    Post-Game Discussion Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]

    Sadly, it took another concussion to Jake to prove it, but we are a much better side with Jazz at lock and Simpkin at hooker. In fact, even forgetting about Simpkin at hooker, Jazz should be our starting lock. Along with those two, big shout-outs to TKO, who has been our best prop all year...

    Caleb Navale

    I wondered if he got hooked for throwing a perfect pass that Tommy put down. Thought it was very odd. And then I thought he might get back on at the end when we had a big lead. I thought wrong.

    Game Day: Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]

    A bit like last week, the effort has been there. But the mistakes with the ball are just killing us. Game after game, year after year (and heading into decade after decade), we are just an incredibly dumb football team. And for a team that seemingly has "work-ons" drummed into them at every...

    Game Day: Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]

    So far we've been lucky that the Cowboys have been terrible as well. But I'm still confident we can be worse than them in the second half.

    Game Day: Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]

    Voss called that an "intriguing half of football". I did not know that "intriguing" was a synonym for "sh**house".

    Game Day: Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]

    I was screaming the same thing at the TV. One of the reasons I love Lehi is that he always put his hand up for plays like that. But throwing it to our smallest player in that situation did not reflect well on our forwards.

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Again with some terrible options tonight, killing any momentum we were a chance of building with dumb plays on early tackles. I will not miss that part of his game.

    Pre-Game Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]

    Heart and grunt are two things we haven't seen much from Manly this season. You'll only see that in your Doggies games:-)

    Joey Walsh

    If Walsh does play NRL this year, it will be a huge call. He's played, what, a couple of games in the lower grades and one game in the reserves? Granted he looked good in the limited footage I have seen from those games, but the step up to the NRL will be huge. Either we're desperate or he's...

    I thought Steve Price looked like he'd eaten Peter Tunks, so I'm glad to learn Tunksie is alive and well. Price was always a fantastic player. I think his son (who would also be Brent Tate's nephew) might be at the Cowboys now.

    Joey Walsh

    Agree. He never has been. And that was the whole point of getting him here, where he didn't have to be "that guy" and could play his natural game. But someone is at least going to have to do an impersonation of a leader when Origin absences kick in.

    All NRL Games [Round 11, 2025]

    Nah. Remember Super League. Remember Coffs Harbour. Remember Todd Greenberg going after Des and the rest of the coaching staff. And then take a look at a photo of Reed Mahoney. Still plenty to hate.

    Seibold presser ..

    I don't know that there are any certified "Seibold lovers" on the site. I mean, he's not an easy guy to love. But there are plenty of people who can see that we have a number of problems outside of the coach, and that not everything is his fault. Given our roster and general inability to do...

    What’s really killing our 2025 season?

    Is it because we're not very good at rugby league?
