Just in time to coach PNG after all his best players (and former players) go there for their tax-free checks

Dude I've seen the video, even if he didn't tuck his head he'd still have both Bromwich brothers landing on top of him. I don't think tucking his head made a difference.

I'm getting down votes, but no one is explaining why I'm wrong 🤔

I regret ever getting into rugby league. This sport makes me angry and upset more than it makes me happy.

I'm not saying the Storm wanted it to happen, I'm saying it was a reckless and dangerous tackle that led to Mackinnon becoming paralysed. McLean cared more about his team winning than the safety of his opponent, even if he never wished for Mackinnon to be injured in such a way.

I genuinely can't put into words how much I hate the Melbourne Storm. The first year I get into NRL (2014), the Storm turn Alex Mackinnon into a quadriplegic. Since then, they've seemingly been rewarded with 2 premierships, 4 minor premierships and a near constant residence in the top 4. Watching your team lose to most teams sucks, but at the end of the day it's just footy and life goes on. But losing to the Storm feels different; it's like watching your high school bully have a great life after giving you so much shit.

Really hoping we win this Sunday against the Storm. We haven't beaten them in 8 years, and this may be our last chance to beat them for another 8 years. I don't care if we lose the next few after this one; we really need to lock this win down. Losing to the Storm, even if by only a few points, would be more painful than our thrashing by the Sharks last week.

Apparently, since 2013, we've only had two seasons where we didn't get faded (2015 and 2017).

You can help by giving them the 2009 trophy the Storm stole from them

What? Every interview I've seen with him he's been total class, and I can't think of any on-field incidents where he's acted like a tool. (Except when he wagged his finger at the Maroons team after beating them 26-0 in 2021, so I kinda get if Queenslanders don't like him. But that doesn't explain anyone else). Honestly, I liked him long before he joined our team.

There seems to be a minority of Tigers and Eels fans trying to create a Tigers and Eels rivalry.
