I’m no stranger to Tiger bashing but this notion that the Tigers players have been disgraceful is off the mark. As an Arab myself, I found it hilarious. Most Dogs fans would see the funny side of it, even if they are shitty.

smh.com.au
At the very core of the Bulldogs’ decision to sign Galvin was an unrelenting sense of scepticism of their premiership credentials with Sexton in the No.7 jersey.

smh.com.au
Laurie Daley and Nathan Cleary remain the best men for their respective jobs. But both are doing huge damage to their legacies due to repeated Origin failures.
