    Not sure if this is sarcasm or not but he’s done a great job there. Finished 16th (bottom) last year with 4 wins from 24 games. 15 points off the playoffs.
    This season they’re on 8 wins from 19 and just 4 points off the playoffs. Massive improvement.

    With some big signings coming in for 2021 they’ll fancy their chances of being in the 8 next year.

    It's a great achievement especially in their competition.

    To put 42 on Manly Sea Eagles shows he has got the attack working as well, much as he did at Saints.

    NRL Grand Final in NSW to allow 40,000 fans in to watch.

    The Governor said she expects masks to be worn coming into and going out of, the stadium. Good luck with that one Glady's, especially after they've had a load of ale!

    Gold Coast finish with a 36-6 over Newcastle. 9 wins from 20 for the season -vast improvement on previous years. Well done JH.

    A marked improvement in what has historically been a toxic environment that's stalled the careers of many (both player and head coach).

    Frustrating that SKY will not show any of the Gold Coast games.

    Reading the Titans forum and Facebook page he’s made them a club the fans want to get behind again and they’re all over the moon he’s been signed up for the long term.
    Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.

    I’ve just watched it, been a while since I’ve seen a better attacking performance than that. I thought they were brilliant the other week against Parramatta but they were even better this week. Was a masterclass in lead running and decision making, they just pulled the Roosters apart on both sides of the field.

    Luke Thompson just been accused of eye gauge on James Tamou - commentators reckon he has case to answer based on footage.

    He definitely has a case to answer. I don’t think he’s meant to do it but he’s made contact with that area, so he’s looking at a big ban.

    Jake Mamo claimed he had numerous eye scrapes yesterday and alerted the ref who gave him a penalty
    I wonder will he get fined for his accidental "shit" comment, Louie claims all his are accidental as he was born in Landan

    Saw the incident, nothing like a gouge which by definition is a deliberate and definite attempt to poke fingers into the eyes. Im sure he will pick up a ban but it was nowhere near as bad as say Gareth HockÂ’s on Ben Westwood and Hock only picked up 5 for that piece of lunacy.

    Mal Meninga was a guest on the Matty Johns show today. He spoke very fondly about his time at Saints saying he loved his time here and the fans were brilliant. Said a big regret was not coming back for a second spell.

    I know he’s said this previously but usually it’s been when asked by the club or English journalists. It was nice to hear him say it live in Australia. Also shown a couple of his tries against Wigan.

    What a player, lifted our hopes and spirits as it was in the middle of a recession. On some peoples greatest 13 Saints line up he does not get a place yet there is a very good case to say he was the best ever in his position, I can only go back to 1981 but I have not seen a better centre. Newlove and Lyon were fantastic but they are fighting it out for the other spot.

    Very good game, but to be honest I’m just enjoying watching big games with an actual crowd. It makes such a difference.
