Cockbain & Arnold are great fellas with great Rugby & GPS DNA. It might not be a premiership in 2026 but GPS will be there or thereabouts next year and serious contenders come 2027-28.

That is the good to hear. I like to hear that a club looks within to solve it’s issues - when you buy in the fix you just step away from the ethos of what you are as a club. It is the traditional ethos of a club that can make it great again by turning your back on your club culture is a...

What does Elwee have? 1 premiership from a 4 year premiership window is not a great return in my mind given the cattle that he had in that time. Good luck to Phil but seeing him in a Norths polo breaks my heart given he has Wests blood running through his veins - traditional rugby & family...

I wonder how many players will be retiring?

One reason Samu Kerevi was registered with Souths - Picone. Nothing to do with any deep set family connection.

Good luck to Souths with Thomo but if you want an all club fix I wouldn’t pick up the phone and ring Thomo.

Thompson would never have risen above QPR but for the Premiership that he won at Easts in 1999 - which was the Easts Grant Batty premiership side of 1997 just getting the job done again. Batty left to coach the Breakers at end 1998 so a side containing Tony McGahan, Richard Graham & Andrew...

Has Scott Harrison (Prem’s Assistant coach) also been shown the door? His family (like the Mooney family) has been around Wests for 50+ years. . I just don’t think a club should discard people that have its DNA and best interests running through their veins. I’ll take a coach/administrator that...

History shows that it is a tough task to wiin one let alone consecutive HC titles - it is undoubtedly a tremendous achievement ifor Bond to win its maiden Hospital Cup (as Bond - acknowledging the Breakers) but don’t get ahead of yourself as a lot needs to go right to win one - just celebrate...

Will takings be down at Crosby tonight?

Plenty of talented back rowers from Hospital cup & Shute Shield that don’t get (or take) the chance at the next level.

Didn’t like the way he carried on like he’d won the Hospital Cup when he got the penalties today.

Congratulations to Bond Uni. Mick Heenan does something that only Grant Batty had done before him - win Hospital Cups at Brisbane and Gold Coast based clubs. Herbie you’ve got to get Heeno back to Yoku.

No let’s have Murphy and Dr. Red Bib running proceedings this afternoon.

You are living I la la land if you don’t appreciate that many players at Wests have been paid rewards for effort over the last 4/5 years - I question whether one premiership is a great return on investment. Surely the coach has to have some accountability. Yet it seems that others are paying the...
