Always fun when a game completely turns on one bad ref call and does a 180.

Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.

I don't think it could be anything else. You really have to ask the question what both refs were doing?

As a neutral I thought it was a 50/50, you gotta protect the ball better than that.

You cant punch the ball out of someones hands like that, especially when the tackle is complete.

Yep that was what I was talking about. No idea how the refs missed that. Whilst you definitely should hold onto the ball in general that was clearly punched out in pain sight.

In nicer news my new jersey is up and joins my framed/signed nsw jersey in my "Celebrating Mediocrity" memorabilia collection.

Normally there's a lot more there, but being Dry July I've put away most of the collection so looking at the jersey doesn't make me have second thoughts about sobriety...

After the (mostly) successful return of Pat Richards a few seasons ago, Brett Hodgson has returned to the Wests Tigers as assistant coach, to remind us that the Tigers can win not only games but premierships (under the right circumstances).

Knights looking to sign 10 to 12 players for 2018

6 confirmed: SKD, Guerra, Watson, Ponga. Ese Ese & Moga

4 in talks: Maloney, James Graham, Leilani Latu, Brenton Lawrence

2 mystery people

If we sign Maloney, Graham and Latu we are going to be a beast in the coming years (hopefully)

NRL offering immunity to Eagles officials to spill the beans.

Normally I'd expect everyone to clam up, but a lot of officials have moved on recently and, Parra showed you can keep quiet and still get pushed out by the government.

That was emphatic, Kodi looked good at fullback as well. Nice to have him in an 80' position.

Considering how badly we played for the first 20-30 minutes that's one hell of a score, lucky the dogs are complete garbage

That was a very hard 50 to watch, I'd mentally prepared myself for the end result this week but was pleasantly surprised with an early 6 and good from in the first 20.

I'm left wondering what it'll take for Dunn to step up against Dibb in the board if that ever occurs.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

In no surprise I think Ricky is up for another 10K

I think the core problem is the Refs turn a blind eye to so much, and are so gutless to do anything that will ruin "the spectacle" unless pretty well much forced to, they basically have no integrity.

If any of them worked for me, and hosed up and failed to do their job as much as they do, they would have been sacked long ago and laughed out of Fair Work.
