on to actual football
The Warriors have apparently singed the centre Aitken from the Dragons for 3 years. That's a fucking good signing, he's a bloody good player.
I'm less happy with the rumours Brown is trying to get Matt Lodge from Brisbane, and Jack de Balin from the dragons. Lodge is deadshit with an unsavoury streak who is lucky to be playing. He's also a penalty magnet who has been found out a bit by the rule changes.
de Belin isn't playing because of some very very serious charges. No doubt the bloke has talent, but not the kind of guy we should be signing.I gave the Titans a fair bit of credit above, but they could undo it all by signing Moses Mbye from the Tigers. The only thing that makes it okay is if the story is true, and the Tigers will continue to pay half of his salary.

Yeah Mbye is ok but not worth 815k as Buzz said. A jack of all trades but a master of none, which they already have with Tyrone Peahcey who I'm sure gets plenty more than he should. Mbye just reminds me of today's version of Brent Webb style wise. -
bloodbath, Paul MacGregor gone now. Not really surprising though. This has been coming for ages.
Again, i think they just extended him? Shit clubs make bad decisions constantly.
Also, deadset, are the Broncos just trying to get the comp shut down?
-
so we signed Kane Evans today as well. I like this buy as well. He's a fiery player with a bit of mean streak.

Isn’t he struggling to get a run for his current club?

@mariner4life MacGregor is a good coach with a shit team and a shitter board. Been dealt a bad hand and they expect to win with it.
And somehow Siebold still has a job.
This year should have been a write-off. Suspend all midseason firings (excluded conduct disputes) because of the extenuating circumstances. Except for Kearney..

I'm not sure about that. The Dragons aren't lacking talent. Ben Hunt on a million dollars is a bad contract though. And i think their best player is in a fair bit of legal trouble, so that doesn't help.
The Board are pretty bad though

The Melbourne Storm just will not fucking die!
Last night they played without Cam Smith and Cam Munster, and they hosed the Roosters. And played some brilliant football. I can't stand them, but it's only because they win, a lot, every fucking year. Bellamy is an incredible coach.
The Roosters were already hammered by injuries, and then they lost 3 to long term injuries last night. This is the only reason they won't win a three-peat, their squad is decimated now. Keary was the last straw.

Yeah I think the question marks on bellamys coaching are now being answered with Cronk and Slater gone and Smith nearly 40 ,
And I think the part of his coaching that gets overlooked is not just the match day stuff, its his development programs , never signs the big names , develops kids to play his way . As they lose players to other clubs , Its been a non stop conveyer belt of talent coming through.

i never had any doubts.
Those great players? who developed them? Who continues to develop young players year after year? Who takes offcasts from other clubs and turns them in to vital role players in premiership teams? He's been the best coach in the game for a decade and a half.
And they play good football too. They are a good team to watch. But, like the Patriots, like the Crusaders, like Auckland in the 80s/90s, you just hate watching the same team win every year!

Just posted this in the wrong thread....
Well well well, turned the Warriors on with 35 to go, they’re down 16-6 to the best team in the comp....
And for the next 13 minutes I’ve watched them defend wave after wave of attack, and now score a very well put together try to make it 16-12
It’s been an impressive 15 odd minutes...
Not saying they’re gonna win the game, but shit they actually look like they want to be out there playing.

This is another gutsy determined performance. They're winning a lot of fans
