Rugby League 2018

Snigger at the Gummies losing to the Filth at home (by a late field goal).

Touch footy out at the foot of the mountains. Panthers get home 40-31 after being down 26-12 in the 2nd half.

They move to 28 points with the petering Dragons.

What chance the Drags fall over to the Slimeys next Saturday?

Panthers coach gets the bullet just four weeks out from the finals.

Two years on his contract too. So an expensive decision.

very expensive if you backed the raidersi

So after months of denial, Griffin gets the arse. Apparently* a single-minded man not willing to adjust his style in the slightest.

4 weeks from the Finals seems an odd time to give him the bullet but.

Phil Gould .... What a duffer, quality runner-up to Whine Bennett

Lots of talk on the wireless of Penrith being the perfect set up for Bennett's next gig.

Can you imagine how Gould and Whine would get on?

That's got to be the biggest joke Ever told. Is it April already? Penrith Whilst fairly remote Still isn't large enough to contain those two egos. What are you people smoking down there skulls？

Hehehe, furry muff, Q.

Nothing official from Penrith but strong rumours doing the rounds that the Chockies have offered Ivan Cleary a 4-year contract.

Hope it's a massive pay rise given they shafted him before and will probably do so again.

Why doesn't Gould just coach the team. He's crap but think of the players they could buy with the money saved from paying out coaches every time he gets None or has a migraine or his pet goldfish dies.

Apparently he is "too busy".

Yeah being paid to be a qunt is Pretty much a fulltime job.

Vale Billy Slater and his fabulous football career, as he calls it quits at the Storm.

One of the ATGs.

Aye, little argument about that.

What can anyone say. Legend

Reading this it's very hard to see past Griffin's side of the story.

"When we flogged St George, it was the saddest I’ve ever seen him.

It was a Saturday night in May and the Panthers did an absolute demolition job on the Dragons to leapfrog the premiership favourites to first spot on the ladder. Nobody saw the 28-2 scoreline coming, a result enhanced by the biggest Panthers Stadium crowd in eight years.

As the club song rang out at full-time, Griffin says he heard not even a murmur of congratulations from Gus.

“It’s the saddest I have ever seen him. We were officially on top of the ladder, having overcome this huge run of injuries earlier in the year, but nothing.

Griffin says when the Broncos obliterated the Panthers 50-18 at Suncorp Stadium two weeks ago, Gould’s mood was much improved.

“I have never seen him so happy than when Brisbane put 50 on us. And then I’ve never seen him so agitated than when we just beat Manly (in a 28-24 thriller at Lottoland on July 28)."

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I think many here think of Gus as a bit of a buffoon with tickets on himself. He also seems to be a loose cannon, a grudge holder and quick-fix merchant. I imagine Gus and Hook are now lifelong enemies.

So Goulds a vicious qunt. Surprise, surprise.

Drags veteran winger retires

"The last remaining member of St George Illawarra's drought-breaking premiership side still at the club, Jason Nightingale, has announced his retirement.

New Zealand international Nightingale, 31, has confirmed he will hang up the boots at the end of the season. He will front a press conference alongside Dragons coach Paul McGregor on Thursday morning."

-----------------------------------------------

I still say he was clear MoM in the 2010 GF.

He has looked slow this year, with many wingers and centres taunting him this year. His goal line defence has been pretty ordinary.

Still, cheers Nighty, on the great service given to the Drags.

MoM or best on ground is a farking lottery in GFs.

Agreed. I love the guy but he has looked old this year. Hopefully he can lift for one last finals run.

If the Dragons make top 4 and he plays every game, I think he could equal Hornby for most games for the club.
