    George Williams Appreciation Thread

    I don't care if he's only 3 games into his NRL career; if anything it's scary to think about how quickly he's adjusted. Hits in D like Lincoln Withers Hands like Cliffy Lyons Runs the ball like Alfie Langer Head & voice of a true Northern Englishmen I haven't enjoyed watching a halfback play...

    Sin binning shambles

    So we go from hardly no sin bins at the start of the year to now dishing them out like free samples at a gelato festival. The Chris Smith sin binning brought the game into disrepute. My eyes and Rugby League loving soul can not unsee THAT decision. I'm not sure what made it more...

    David Fifita

    One word: SCARY Seriously how good does he look for an 18 1/2 year old forward? He looks horrifying to defend against and is the best teenage forward I've seen since Taumalolo. Maybe even SBW. In a couple of years David Fifita will make Andrew Fifita look like David Fifita. Lucky for...

    Latrell (officially signs with Souths 13/1/20)

    What more needs to be said? One singular name is all that is required. A mere whisper of the name 'Latrell' sends forth a torrent of blood flow to the loins. Very few distinctly named individuals have achieved this. Think Pele, Ronaldo, Tiger, LeBron, Cher.. And now, Latrell. The two trys...

    RIP Golden Point

    When Matt Lodge said "tonight is the night you die" maybe he was having a Bran Stark style warging moment and was actually referring to Golden Point on March 23, 2018. Just a theory. But Skeletor is right. It really does have to go. We can't have teams losing like that to a 'markers not...

    Sooo... Cooper Cronk...

    Yes or no? It's an emphatic yes from me. We haven't just lost three Prelims in a row. We've lost them all in very underwhelming fashion. And I fear the downright stupidity/lack of composure of Pearce and Friend will only continue to blow our chances in this Premiership window. So sign...

    Aubusson at right centre

    I thought he really tightened up our dodgy right edge defence and I wouldn't mind him staying there tbh. Carrying two poor defensive centres would make us lambs to the slaughter vs the Storm (and did vs the Sharks). So whilst Manu continues to learn his trade in reggies I'd like to see: 3...

    BroncosNRL

    This club gets more leg ups than any other. Every. Single. Week. 9 penalties tonight. f**k me as a Roosters fan it takes us a month to get that many. Then there was Moga's farcical try. Milford's knock on. But is anyone surprised? This has 'Souffs 2014' ref ride to the comp written all...

    Aaron Woods

    Can someone explain to me why this bloke is a walk up start for the Blues and Kangaroos? Serious question. He's not aggressive. Doesn't bend the line or break tackles. He doesn't hit hard in defence. I don't see any good footwork before the line. And certainly no good second phase play...

    Starc out with a stress fracture in his foot

    Ouch. Massive MASSIVE blow for Australia. http://www.foxsports.com.au/cricket/mitchell-starc-ruled-out-final-two-tests-against-india-with-stress-fractures-in-his-foot/news-story/8a9c64ced8f2ac12c6b960888696f989

    Jason Taumalolo

    How freaking good is this guy? He's a bullet train with the agility of a gazelle. Never seen a player like him.

    ...but who will win the war?

    How great is Dale Steyn?

    If this is indeed a "batsman's era", and I believe that is absolutely correct, then logic would dictate that Steyn's record over the last decade is even more remarkable than the numbers suggest. An avg. of 22. The greatest strike rate of the modern era at roughly 41. We tend to give more...

    The most overrated primadonna to ever grace the NRL. Discuss.

    The Knights losing streak...

    Currently stands at 13. And with the Dogs, Panthers and Titans to come they might have to wait until lol@Souffs visit in rnd 25. Are they the worst team you've ever seen? And what's the NRL record for losing streak? Oh and rather than intending to mock Knights fans, I must give massive...

    Is this the worst suspension of all-time?

    Sam Moa just copped a week for this. Discuss... http://www.3news.co.nz/sport/video-moa-cops-one-game-ban-for-rubbing-refs-shoulder-2015061515#axzz3dAO7HwnM

    Luke Brooks' development

    What's going wrong with this kid? In my mind he appears to have regressed over the past 10 months. The Tigers are very clunky in attack and its largely because Brooks either picks the wrong man or mistimes his passes. Moses hasn't been much better. In comparison Luke Keary is already one...

    Solving the diving epidemic...

    I believe this is one of the biggest issues facing the game. It makes the game look soft and far worse slows play down dramatically. How many times did a player stay down for a penalty in the GF, 4 or 5? It almost made me want to cry. It shouldn't be such a stop/start product...

    Ken Stephen Award

    The nominees for this years Ken Stephen Award have been released. A gold star for anyone who notices the omission... but why? Not trolling, just curious. http://www.nrl.com/2014-ken-stephen-medal-finalists-announced/tabid/10874/newsid/81466/default.aspx Surely Inglis is worthy for...

    I thought the shoulder charge was banned?...

    ...it's just that Steve Matai wasn't charged for his forceful shoulder charge that made contact with DWZs head. So when did the NRL bring back the shoulder charge? I must have missed it! I see part of the trade off though is the bringing in of the "Dangerous Contact - Unnecessary...
