    The T.V Rights Thread Part III

    Mate I reckon the second scenario is the most likely - much as everyone would love to see it 9 are very unlikely to give up what they have, though 7 will hang around long enough to make sure they earn it, and will go particularly hard at Origin. I think where it will get contentious is with...

    Why 2009 Grand Final was so good

    I think it would be sweet to have a challenge system, with unsuccessfull challenges costing the side one of their 10 interchanges. Haven't figured out what happens if the challenge comes after the 10th interchange has been made - perhaps a player has to drop off the field or something...

    Massive TV ratings last night in Sydney for FNF

    btw the Wallbies last Saturday did about 420,000 across 5 metros (combined 7 and Fox) - ha!

    Roebuck - Arrogant Ponting must be fired

    Yeah ok, fair enough of Roebuck to express his point of view - but if it is an opinion piece as you say why include all the references to the hordes of (namelss and faceless) Australians who were apparently compromised during this recent test? The Australians I know were over the moon to see a...

    Players who you know and how?

    Adrian Purtell is on facebook. He and I aren't 'friends' though.

    Raiders VS Bulldogs

    Whether justified or not this is a massive kick in the guts for Bronx. The guy has made no secret of the fact the he wants to play fullback, and his non-selection this week seems a petty strong indication that Henry considers Zillman our long term option - particularly when you take into account...

    3-2-1 v Eels

    2 - Withers 1 - Dobson 1 - Zillman 1 - Campese 1 - Turner Plenty of guys were really unlucky to miss out, particularly Logan and Tongue - the fact that they play this well every week probably counts against them when the whole team turns up. As with c_r2k2 I was spewing at kick off when I...

    Goodwin debuts for Raiders!

    ^ I don't think it was the play as such that was the problem, but the time at which it was tried. We hadn't had any ball for the ten minutes or so prior to that scrum and we really needed to just hold the ball for 6 and get down the other end. It's one thing to chance your arm, but that was...

    No Merritt Awards for City Selectors

    I just hope Nathan puts his head down and continues to play good footy. I recall a couple of times when Shif was unlucky to miss Qld teams his club form dropped away dramatically, hopefully this doesn't happen with Merrit because his been great to watch for the past 12 months or so. No doubt...

    3-2-1's for Round 1 Penrith vs Raiders

    3- Neville Costigan 2- Terry Campese 1- Alan Tongue Dobbo very unlucky not to pick up some points, Miller, Lahrs, Withers, Zillman and Graham were also fantastic I thought.

    Round 2 CANBERRA RAIDERS V MELBOURNE STORM

    I think that even if Phil is fit, and let's pray that he is, Zillman is just as much a chance of playing as Picker. It would not surprise me if Zillman played and Chalk spent some time in the back row.

    CT predicted team changes

    Better yet - get rid of Purtell and play Howell on the wing.

    CT predicted team changes

    Both Howell and Graham are still under injury clouds - if either doesn't come good then Zillman will start at fullback and Chalk will return to the centres.

    CT predicted team changes

    Mornin guys Just had a read of the CT which reported the following.. 1 - Bickerstaff gone for up to 6 weeks, Jones into the starting lineup and Picker added to an extended bench 2 - Howell is in Sydney and expected to play - Chalk to fullback Zillman likely to miss. 3 - Dobson has the...

    The Rd 1 thread: Raiders @ Manly *Team named*

    True that macko. It also seems pretty clear that Henry is keen to bring back Howell. If his fitness holds up over the course of the week we may see him line up in the centres wearing #19. Over all I reckon that team looks tops, Weyman is a loss but Costigan, Miller and Logan on the bench...

    Nixon=Knob

    Lets face it, if you have to wait till your 35+ to get a game for England then you're probably not too crash hot - particularly when it's geraint jones and to a lesser extent chris read who have been getting the gig previously! I don't really know why England are wasting their time with him...

    Herald Sun's 2009 Ashes Squad....

    Bare in mind, however, that Paine has only kept wicket once in first class cricket, having replaced Sean Clingeleffer for Tassie's most recent shield game. Given Sean's form has been questionable at best with the bat for a couple of years now, whereas Tim has been selected for his batting...

    Are we really that inexperienced?

    Agreed with thickos et al. re the lack of experience in the key positions. I think it's also notable that there will be a lot of new combinations in these positions, which take time to build regardless of the skill and experience of the individuals. Whilst there may be plenty of talent in...
