Flying hounds are Virgin on the ridiculous
'I wish Virgin Airlines well with their decision to allow small pets on their planes,' declares Lin Sinton of Killarney Heights. 'But I would not want to be the first passenger lunging for the emergency exit with a miniature pinscher clamped to each foot.' Thank you, Llewellyn Dickeson for inspiring me to go in search of Mateus Rose (C8) again after all these years,' says Bill Yonge of Frenchs Forest. 'My local BWS has it for $14, but alas, no Casal Garcia.' 'Cruising on the Fairstar in the early '80s we had a Portuguese waiter at our designated table,' writes Mark Fuller of Armidale. 'After regularly ordering Mateus for the evening meal, I asked him if it was popular in Portugal. He replied it was considered very inferior and only worthy of export.' Sounds a bit like Fosters. Speaking of beer, Mark Pearce of Springwood says, 'Peter Snowden's longing for a twenty-six ounce bottle of Reschs DA (C8) reminds me of my first encounter with this particular ale when I was a young boy. My dad had a full bottle ready to enjoy with our Sunday roast when I knocked it over and its contents provided an unwelcome gravy for his meat and veg, taking the concept of Dinner Ale a step too far!' Both Mike Tucker of Hornsby Heights and William Galton of Hurstville Grove remember the nickname Dirty Annie, with Mike asserting that it 'was most certainly not the preferred drop'. 'Chances are if you watched an NRL game on the weekend you'll have noticed players, locked arm-in-arm, taking deep breaths during stoppages because this mindfulness is supposed to improve one's mental state,' says George Zivkovic Northmead. 'Call me a cynic, but I think they're just focusing on whether to get schnitties or parmies after the game.' Jane Howland's observation of the fashion trend among young men of blue suits a size to small (C8), had Frank Robertson from Darlinghurst wondering if she was referring to real estate agents: 'It is like a uniform in our suburb.' We had some sad news last week. One of our finest, Peter Wotton of Pyrmont has passed. Granny always liked the scope of Peter's contributions (Telex machines on the back of cooking beetroot comes to mind) and his sagely take on life. Our thoughts are with his family and friends, especially Jenny Hart, who was good enough to let us know.

‘Pushed out': Benny Elias unloads on Tigers as truth comes out about Lachlan Galvin, Jarome Luai drama
Amid all the animosity, anger and despair from Tigers fans about Lachlan Galvin's messy departure comes the truth about what really happened, with Tigers great Benny Elias telling all this week. After Galvin voiced his desire to leave the club earlier this year, several of his Tigers teammates took to social media to vent their anger. The senior player group then held an intervention, storming Benji Marshall's office and calling for the coach to demote him. FOX LEAGUE, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every game of every round in the 2025 NRL Telstra Premiership, LIVE with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Join now and get your first month for just $1. Galvin was subsequently dropped to reserve grade for all of one week, then recalled and eventually released to join the Bulldogs. Following the move, the teenager and his agent, Isaac Moses, have been criticised for turning their back on the club that put their faith in him, blooded him last year, and saw him as their future. But Wests Tigers legend Elias tells a different story, one where marquee signing Jarome Luai was the man who ultimately led the teenager to force his way out of the joint venture club. 'You got to ask the reason why (Galvin wanted out),' Elias said on Paul Kent's NRL podcast. 'He was not happy at the club. A lot of that starts and finishes at the top (with Benji Marshall). 'The year before Luai came to our club, Galvin was the superstar. He was nurtured, looked after, loved and put on a pedestal. 'He was our future and all of a sudden, a big personality comes to the club and changes everything … unfortunately, there was some drama caused by the superstar coming and all of a sudden, Galvin felt like he was second, third or fourth choice after he was up on this pedestal.' Veteran journalist Paul Kent mentioned that in training, Luai would choose to work with Latu Fainu over Galvin, and it left the teenager feeling he was no longer valued. While Elias wouldn't speculate on whether Luai was deliberately favouring Fainu, he said that the half coming to the club and taking the mantle as the club's leader, mixed with Benji Marshall no longer seeing Galvin as the starboy, led to the teenager feeling unappreciated. 'When your boss (Benji Marshall) makes you the focal point, you then expect nothing else,' Elias continued. 'The coach made him No. 1 before Luai came to the club, and in the end, I truly believe that Galvin was basically pushed out of the club. 'It all started and finished at the top (with Benji Marshall's decision to bring Luai to the club).' When Luai came to the Tigers, he was handed the keys to the jungle, understandably so. The 28-year-old had just completed the four-peat with Penrith and voiced at the time he signed with the Tigers that he was used to being Robin to Batman (Nathan Cleary), and it was now his time to be 'Batman'. However, Luai joining the Tigers definitely ruffled a few feathers, in particular those of Galvin, who was seen as the club's future and the player whom the team would be built around. But it must be noted that last year, Galvin's management made a series of release requests in June before it all ultimately came to a head this year. So it may not be entirely fair to pin the blame on Luai, who wasn't even at the club when Galvin first wanted out. And as Luai prepared for the much-anticipated matchup against Galvin, who lines up for the Bulldogs on Sunday, the premiership winner declared he is a 'Tiger for life'. So the decision to go with a marquee half like Luai may have been the best choice after all if Galvin was likely to leave when his contract expired at the end of 2029 anyway. While the Dogs, who also eyed up Luai before he signed with the Tigers, feel Galvin is the missing piece of the premiership puzzle.
