The NRL Thread- Everyone gets a coach

He was in great form last season for the Panthers. His footwork and somewhat less structured play is something Penrith are going to really miss. I wonder who will replace him.

They have a production line of young talent
 as long as Yeo, Edward’s and Cleary are performing they’ll be just fine for the foreseeable future

I have felt for a very long time that Penrith should almost always be competing for top four on the back of having such a loaded junior production line, and they shouldn’t have to look far to find someone. That said, I think there are still times Penrith need to look elsewhere to fill a gap. I’m just not entirely sure specifically who might be able to step in at #6 for 2025 yet.

Just waiting for jett cleary to bulk up a bit

The Chinese developer of the abandoned Balmain Leagues Club site is seeking compensation from the state government for millions of dollars it claims it has lost over the prolonged acquisition of the property in Sydney’s inner west.

Transport for NSW did a U-turn on acquiring the notorious eyesore on one of Sydney’s busiest roads last year, after ditching plans to use the Rozelle property as a construction site for the $6.7 billion Western Harbour Tunnel
Almost 18 months later, developer Heworth claims it is yet to receive any compensation for millions of dollars in unpaid rent by Transport for NSW, as well as financial damages and out-of-pocket expenses since the agency flagged in 2018 plans to take control of the property.

Chinese property developer out of pocket?

Lemme find my worlds smallest violin, so I can cry to them a fucking river.

Pretty early to be kicking the bucket. RIP Carl Webb

Hated that prick during origin, qlder through and through. Tough as they come.

Jesus - that’s awful to hear

Poor bastard

Luai to the tigs confirmed.

Good move for all parties, but I think the winners go 1. Jerome, 2. Panthers, 3. Tigers. He’s done great without Cleary, but quite a few question marks about how he’ll go leading a bunch of dross around.

Reconnecting with Korosiau (and having Marshall as a coach/mentor will be a huge benefit to him).

Still think the tigers are going to be awful though

You could see how frustrated Api was last year when no one else was on the same planet as him. Unless him and Luai pass the ball between themselves, I can see the same happening.

Luai might also only be half the player without someone else directing traffic.

Luai is an absolute fucking grub and I’ll still hate him despite playing for my Tiges.

New Penny Park to open in 2026. Replacing the western stand, touching up the eastern, extra sheds/food etc. 25k. $309m.

Looks a bit like Newcastle’s ground.

The facilities are badly in need of upgrading, but $309m? Really? It’s a lot of money, but it would have to be a re-build based on all the things they want to change and add.

Yeah, didn’t the new Parra cost less than that?

I think there are other facilities being built or upgraded around the venue. It isn’t just for the stadium. I don’t recall 100% clearly but I don’t think there were as many changes around CommBank as are being requested here.
