Sounds like the list of what constituted a lair in the past is big standard behaviour now.

Over celebrating tries? Check
Forwards running wide? Check
Born overseas? Check to a huge number of players
Non black boots? Hell, you’d be an anomaly if your boots were black.
Flamboyant if, questionable hair? Check and then some.
Swerving unpredictable running? Check to several players at least.

What would make someone a lair in 2025?

Too right about the field goal set up….I remember thinking,, did they learn from the Sharks pathetic efforts against the Tigers? That was meant to be a ‘how not t’ lesson.

Was about to say that…
When he said “It was right in front of the touch judge and half a metre to a metre forward.”
I assumed he was talking about 2 of the cowboys tries.

With the word Galvin is suing the Tigers for bullying, what club would want him? That’s not going to masively lower what other clubs would be willing to pay, if at all.

Sending your gossipy selfish bestie to your lawyer instead of f talking directly to your partner….sounds like a very toxic strategy guaranteed to end in a messy divorce.
If my partner did that they’d definitely be sleeping in the spare room until the papers were signed and I pity the poor fool they end up with.

the manager just wanted everyone to leave Guot Guot alone and was trying to keep him away from the media. The manager sounded disrespectful and dismissive of the father’s comments released a couple of days earlier.
But regardless of how it’s spelt why keep pronouncing it gout gout? That’s an easy enough change.

Ah… I believed everything you said until that.

Or…the official record can say Gout Gout and humans with respect and care for their fellow man can call him Guot Guot in the meantime. My mate Michael hasn’t officially changed his name to Mikey.

If my mate Michael wants us to call him Mikey, we all do. If Bob at the office wants to transition and be called Cheryl we all oblige. People still refer to Trump as Trump even though he’s clearly a ….
But it’s been 4 months since Guot Guot and his dad made it clear that A – Gout Gout was a spelling mistake and B- they don’t like the connection to the disease.
“His name is Guot, it’s supposed to be Guot,” his father Bona told 7NEWS. “When I see people called him Gout Gout, I’m not really happy for him……..II know that Gout Gout is a disease name but I don’t want my son to be called a disease name … it’s something that’s not acceptable,” Bona said.
How hard is it for the media to respect this talented runner and his heritage? Damn disrespectful and I’m stunned by every article I read ignoring this.

Winging is a terrible habit. Poms are famous for it.

A win for the marginalised: Zac Lomax finally accepts it's not shameful to be a winger

Given the injuries you’d love to see Ange given 1 more year and a chance for his long term plan to build into something successful, but this is the premier league and I wouldn’t bet much on him being in charge next season. A Europe League win might be enough to give him that chance but I doubt it.

'Even if we win it, I'm gone anyway': The Spurs 'sentiment' that has Ange believing his time is up

If that’s what you think power rankings are there’s no point reading them each week. I see them as which club you’d least like to face next week, which makes more sense for a weekly ranking report.
I’d least like to face the Storm at the moment and I don’t think anyone expects the Bulldogs to be minor premiers including Paul Suttor, despite him putting us at #1 for now.

I like the idea of every team playing each other once, then based on the ladder a new draw is made. Scottish soccer does something similar, after 33 games the top six then play each other and the bottom 6 play each other. Ends up 38 games like this EPL. Though it makes more sense with European qualification and relegation battles going on.
For the NRL it could at least mean better TV scheduling and therefore more viewers which would make the broadcasters happy.

Panthers in 6th? Which year of footy are you watching? Warriors rabbits and Raiders all deserve to be higher and even the Knights defence with half a bench showed Penrith what they’re lacking from last season.
I’m also surprised to have Bulldogs first. We’ve had a relatively easy draw and while our defence is solid our attack is still pretty mediocre. Storm look lightyears ahead

Consistency indeed. Late in the game yesterday Adam Elliott connected with his shoulder to the head of a Bulldogs player with more force than most of the sinbins we saw…I love Elliott, he was great for us for years, but I was thinking at the time…ooh, this might even be a send off. But no, not even a sin bin.
Had me scratching my head and if the game had been super tight at that point I’d have been fuming.

All 3 losing coaches today trying to distract from by feigning confusion at refs decisions. Go figure.

Mate, if they played like lomax they’d be undefeated. Light years ahead of his teammates

Yes please…we could absolutely do with a halfback of such quality while a couple of our young halves develop. Perfect timing for us.

I’ll take a scrappy win.not too long ago we’d have lost that.
Sexton’s kicking game isn’t his biggest concern, I’m more worried about his complete and utter lack of creativity in attack. Especially when we were 6 down with 5 to go and he grubbers on the 4th tackle instead of setting up for a field goal. The kind of amateur game management is expect in lower grades.

Five and a Kick: Eagles roll Raiders but rocked by Achilles tear, Dogs offside with ref over dodgy ploy to bamboozle Eels

Exactly, how many players call knock on, forward pass, offside or other Infringement calls every game from every team? Absolute joke.

I’m still very confused by all the articles talking about his knees. I’m no biology teacher but knees are the hard bony bit in the middle yeah? Not the fleshy bit of leg just below the groin .. cause I call that thigh and that’s what hit Tupelo Mississippi
