What’s the deal with the board always causing trouble for the tigers. Is it down to it being two clubs put together and they can’t work together.

Thankyou for that update - didnt see this as I'm trying to steer well clear of anything NRL now as a completely pissed-off Tigers fan ... but this punishment is fully deserved - as 'Doctors' they should be ashamed of themselves.

Yeah heads had to roll in Tonga & heads are certainly rolling out at Campbeltown.

Punishment for those involved with the Katoa head knock.

Tonga’s head doctor, Dr Peter Hackney, the team’s assistant doctor, Dr Hoani McFater and the team’s orange shirt trainer, Johnathan Crawley, were all handed proposed 24-month suspensions.

The team’s yellow shirt trainer, Steve Dean, was issued with a warning by the NRL.
Dr Hackney has previously worked for the Brisbane Broncos, but currently works for the Dolphins. Dr McFater also works for the New Zealand Warriors, while Crawley works as an assistant physiotherapist at the North Queensland Cowboys.

At least I’ve got the roar to enjoy right now. Another good win with a late goal. I’m absolutely stunned with the owners still there that Brisbane are actually good.

Yeah they’ve really tightened the defence up & they don’t concede many goals, unlike us.

Perth 4th and Brisbane 2nd in the A League. Happy to see Perth up there with us after so many bad seasons for both clubs. And even better Melbourne Victory bottom of the table. Let the good times continue.

Yeah it’s crazy hey.

Nice to see Brisbane starting the season so well. Its been a while since they’ve been any good.

Yeah big surprise seeing them playing so well. Good to see WSW beat Sydney in the derby tonight.

Yeah that was terrible & heads must roll for allowing him to even start the match. It was sickening to see.

... yup agreed - and considering there were 'medical staff' there that allowed him to carry on and play is unbelievable really

[SB]

Last I saw was he was staying at the Broncos. I think a lot of it is a bit of press making the most out of nothing. He looks after his family, I don’t know if you’ve seen what his parents are like. It’s one of the reasons he’s always stayed at the broncos even when they were poor. He wants to be close to them.

Yeah I got sucked in with a BS press reports talking up him leaving . His Mum is aright off hey, in prison for drunk driving ( & killing a person wasn’t it ? )

[SB]

What do we think about that horrific head knock Eli Katoa sustained playing for Tonga in the NRL Pacific Cup - he was battered badly in the head warming up before the game I'm suprised they let him play - then copped two more HIA during it - he seemed completely in pain and out of it sat on the bench and the commentators were making light of it. He was rushed into hospital - now he is back in Melbourne definitely out for a season and I think there is a chance he may never make it back - pretty sickening the whole thing ...

The Rugby 360 thing is starting to kick off. Zac Lomax has signed from the Eels & Payne Haas could be next.
