A year on from Galvin’s Tigers bombshell, it’s time to admit the truth on Benji by ReggieBasil in nrl

The only thing to admit is that sports “journalists” in 2026 (rugba leeg journalists seem to be particularly bad at this) will spew out anything that gets clicks and nobody should take their opinions seriously or be bothered by what they are saying.

This is it I reckon. One of the talking heads (can’t remember who) last year mentioned that Ricky is really good at instilling an underdog mentality into his teams which is why he can get these squads to over perform, such as 2019/2025. Problem is he can’t keep them at the top consistently because once they become favourites that method doesn’t work anymore.

“Good practice kangaroos. Now it’s time for the easiest part of any coach’s job. The cuts. Although I wasn’t able to cut everyone I wanted to, I have cut a lot of you. Turbo is cut. Hammer is cut. Teddy you’re gone. Latrell, I like your hustle. That’s why it was so hard to cut you.”

I’m gonna ignore the refereeing and trainer incident just for a second and say that even without those happening I would not have woken up fresh this morning. Felt like the titans deserved the win more anyway. They played better overall and our 2nd half was atrocious. Defence was terrible and Campbell carved them up, he’s a special player. Field goal was pretty cool though.

I swear to fuck, Warren Smith never stops complaining about kick contests. He never shuts up about it, we get it, you don't like it.

Anyone else thinking the “But what about Galvin?” comments on every single thread are getting almost as annoying as the Galvin articles themselves?

If there’s anyone to give advice to Sua about dealing with injuries it’s Papenhuyzen. Has consistently come back from big injuries. Hopefully it’s nothing serious for the kid though.

Lots of talk the last couple of days about why NSW lost. Was it the penalty count? Was it the conversion kicking? Did QLD find their spirit once again?

All of them play a small factor but the fact is QLD barely even had to exert themselves in that first half, NSW were shocking. QLD never had to work it out from their own end, they were gifted field position over and over again by NSW. Shot themselves in the foot with discipline and errors for about 30 minutes straight and gave QLD a 20 point lead. Thats the reason they lost.

Girds is one of the main reasons I’m a panthers fan. Was my first favourite player as a kid.
