Neil Waters' quest to find the Tasmanian tiger, which ahs been extinct for more than 80 years, catches the eye of documentary filmmakers.

If an animal is declared extinct more than 80 years ago, most people would assume it no longer exists — but Neil Waters is not one of those people.Despite officially listed as extinct, many people believe the species has survived in remote areas of Tasmania and the mainland

A Tasmanian group of believers and the continuing quest for proof is about to become the subject of a documentary film"When you talk to scientists about thylacines, you're a bit of a tinfoil hat whack job, because once an animal's declared extinct, that's it, case closed … but they're out there," he said.

Mr Waters is the president of the Thylacine Awareness Group of Australia, a collection of believers who are convinced the Tasmanian tiger — once the dominant predator across Australia — still roams the island state, and maybe even the mainland.

Waters is a nutjob. What's the next 'documentary' they will be making? Bigfoot? The Loch Ness monster?

Greenberg slammed for petty pay cutWests Tigers centre Joseph Leilua has condemned NRL CEO Todd Greenberg for sending “mixed messages” to players regarding his pay cut amid the coronavirus epidemic. Have to agree with the players. If they are to take a 75% pay cut so should all involved in the NRL as without the PLAYERS there is NO league!!!!!! Would you expect anything less from this arrogant maggot, who has single handed made the NRL a political tool for his leftist agenda. A pathetic administrator. Except that the CEO is working his butt off during this time of crisis, trying to make sure the players have a job to come back to, while Joey 'best in the game' Leilua sits on his ass doing nothing for the betterment of anybody. If the CEO had no work to do, then sure, same cut
