PNG Schoolboys vs Aus Schoolboys is on as I write.

22-all with seconds to go. Australia with a conversion attempt to win the game.

Anyone concerned that PNG wouldn't have the depth of talent to develop a first grade NRL team can relax.

All the best

A mate of mine just got his two west Tigers membership sent to him unfortunately he left them on his dash in the car overnight next morning his passenger window was broken and two more memberships were on the dash.

Looks like Rocket Ryan is the early leader in the worst jokes of 2024, he may in fact hold the lead right to the end. If he is the only entrant, perhaps he can cough uo a little price for himself like Tipping 101.

Unfortunately while they were waiting for police to attend the scene four more memberships were left on the dash.

On Ezra Mamm,
"booking himself in to rehab"!! Is that supposed to make it alright? And,if he has to go to rehab,how long has he been indulging in the shit? How many games did he play while on them?

The Pacific Championships have been absolutely terrific. These internationals need to be a regular fixture on the calender. I understand how hard it is to fit everything in, but you have to find the space for this.

I thought the final was a great game,mate. Tonga can hold their heads up high.

Hello Thinker,
What do you know about Dragons latest signing - Nathan Lawson from Rugby 7s? Never heard of him and where would they fit him in the 13 man side, or does he even make the side?
Or is this just another dragons purchase that will fizzle out
Cheers

@JKBubble

I saw the announcement. I have to admit I've never seem him play either. Given he was just awarded the Rugby Sevens Player of the Year we have to assume he's not hopeless.

All the best

Wouldn't you love to be an NRL player when you get it wrong .........!
Ezra Mamm.
He was driving without a license,had drugs in his system and hospitalised 3 people,one a 4 year old with a broken hip!
"He was fined $850 and disqualified from driving for at least six months".

The fine for using your mobile phone while driving is more than $850 in Queensland (not that I'm condoning that).

The penalty from the NRL will be interesting.

As a guide, Mitchell Pearce was fined $125,000 and missed the first 8 rounds of an NRL season because he picked up a dog with a waggly tail for about 5 seconds (I'm not condoning that either).
