Not sure on him tbh, tends to be out a lot through injury. But could be one of those players to thrive coming over to us, he's strong, I'll give him that.

Did I read somewhere . ages ago ... that his Grandad is Old mate Peter "Hollywood" Byrne's from Manly in the 70's ...
Bit of a lad and colourful character was hollywood ...
EDIT ... I played google and found it ...
Web5 Jul 2020 · Bradman Best's grandfather Peter Byrne. Byrne, now living on the Gold Coast, played at Manly when champions Bob Fulton, Max Krilich, Terry Randall and Graham Eadie …

Hollywood owned a hairdressers at Warringah Mall mid 70's. 5/8 who played in red boots in the days where anything other than black was seen as being a lair.😄
Stories about him are legendary ... many unable to be told here ... he went to Manly Boys and was suspended for getting a mohawk haircut ... wild lad ... He also did time for drugs I believe ... was a popular fella though ..
He use to own a hairdresser shop at Warringah Mall - it was called the Hair Inn or something like that. It was basically split in two between male and female sections. I was getting my haircut in the male side of the shop (obviously). Next thing Hollywood comes running through and out the back door followed closely by about 4 coppers in pursuit.

We brought back Geoff Toovey!
Should get your anecdote thread going again. There were many great stories and laughs in it
And I’m sure the refs will be happy to accommodate them.
This game is a real worry , we should win ,and easily , BUT don’t forget the script!!

Will our boys be up for this game?
After the Storm. Yeah Nah.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.

It'll only take a couple of early try's for their house of cards to come tumbling down.
Play it in forwards again brutal grind

Yes, our boys will not want to be first to get rolled by the Tigpies, it would be embarrassing.
Especially after a solid win over the Storm.
Our motivation, back to back wins, holding our place in the 4 and continuing on a winning run heading towards magic Rd.
Don’t be afraid, we’ll be winning this game.

But you have to admit they have a cool looking club logo.

Hmmm, 7 missed tackles for Fainu a worry

I have a feeling this season might be one where we play well against the good teams and slack off against the lesser teams. This is certainly a danger game imo. I think we will win, but it won’t be easy. As another poster has already said, Tigers have lost all their games however have been in most all of them. They do have a few key outs tho, and it will be interesting to see how the respond with Douhi out.

I liked the old Balmain logo. Speaking of logos, I’d like to see us go back to the logo from the late 80s early 90s. Similar to what Parra did. That was the best thing the eels ever did. I mean gee they had sone horrid logos the eels.
Nobody really stood up. Fainu has a bit to work on in defence it seems.
Complacency is our biggest opponent this weekend. We have to have the right mind set or Tigers will beat us
Douhi is a huge out for them, virtually every play evolves around him. The Tigpies have had a couple of recent games where the score hasn't ballooned out, so think they are probably due for another blowout courtesy of the Sea Eagles.

We attack them in the middle like we did vs the storm and we might put a big score up.
