I just wonder if it's like the election and you can pre poll. If your a blonde female under 24 you can register your complaint early to avoid any delay on the night.

Ok, Royal Gala's and Red Delicious' then.

Good point about pre-polling, although I wouldn't necessarily limit it to blonde female's under 24.....or female's under 24......or female's......or humans (given Mitchell Pearce has been named)

We are a roller coaster

Good win Tigers, try not let it get to your heads though, you need another good performance next week.

We have definitely stepped up a level. We're approaching flat track bully status. Smash the bottom 4-6 get smashed by the top 2-3 and limp into the 8

We have Melb next week lol, gees parra got touched up, fingers crossed we dont

Thank god we didn't play the Storm in that sort of mood. Hopefully they won't be that devastating next week and go a bit easier on us.

And why did we let Ryan Papenhuyzen go? That's right because we had Tedesco (who jumped to the Dark Side) He would have been a sensational replacement. Was that your choice Ivan or whose?

Club also let go Koroibete and JAC, who ever let those two go should be sacked if not already

I wonder if he is the same guy who let Nathan Brown walk, Warren McDonald?

Next week .... how about the next 8.

Storm
Roosters
Rabbits X 2
Raiders X 2

Cowboys & Eels


Origin's in there but if we can come out 4/4 we make the 8. Anything less will make it tough.

you would think it would have clicked by now.
If melbourne come sniffing around your young players, sign them long term, pay them and get them into the first grade side sooner rather than later.

We got one back though. We stole Blair from under their noses.

Problem is that no other club can replicate what Melbourne do with them and their development once they are in the first grade side.

That was signing coup of the millennium that one.

yes but they obviously identify something special in the young talent they are targetting. If melbourne identify this and then target the club's young player, said club should be doing their best to lock that player up and then back their own ability to bring out the best in the player.

Has anyone ever gotten better after leaving Melbourne?

Cronk won a comp, I wouldnt say he got better... he certainly didnt get worse tho.

Wouldn't be many. Had a quick look on Wiki for their past players and the only ones I think of that you could argue that are James Moloney, Blake Green, Aiden Tolman, Nathan Friend and Gareth Widdop. I guess you might say Greg Inglis as well. A couple of those player might not have actually gotten better, just got a chance (Moloney, Friend). Inglis and Widdop might have been even better had they stayed with the Storm.

A quick whip through, only really thinking about players with name recognition...

Justin ONiell
Kimmorley
Widdop
Orford
Hymel Hunt
Clint Newton
Aiden Tolman
Kostjasyn
Robbie Rochow
Paul Whatuira
Junior Sa'u

Theres more then a few and probably more who are scrubs.

I'm hoping Melbourne don't turn up, than we will only get beat by 20

Mybe....Pass the FKN ball

Fonua....Run out of the line 100 miles a hour and miss a crucial tackle
