    Serious Question: Is the NRL rigged/corrupt?

    This is something I've noticed with Chris Butler. He's got that look of disdain towards them all - "off with ye, peasants". Can't stand him. The NRL definitely has a long way to go in this regard. There is way too much tolerance of every player getting in the ref's face and arguing over...

    Serious Question: Is the NRL rigged/corrupt?

    I saw one earlier in the year for another team. Don't remember which, but I remember at the time thinking "finally someone else has been done for it".

    Team list Tuesday.

    Unchanged except Ramien on the extended bench.

    100 game players does it help

    I mentioned something like this earlier in the year. 100 games in you've got a pretty good idea of what a player is capable of. It's rare to see anyone have a breakout year that deep into their career. So if they are not in the conversation for rep teams by that time I'd be looking to upgrade...

    Team list Tuesday.

    Only issue with that is Tommy plays 30+ minutes. I don't think Tuku has that in him yet, particularly at NRL finals intensity.

    Alexander, Ennis & Anasta call for Sharks halves to be Trindall, Atkinson

    Just for a bit of perspective on "how much better" the team played with The Next Immortal, during that time we beat: The Tigers, Rabbitohs, Titans, Knights and Dragons - and we almost lost against the Knights. He did well, but he ain't the answer. In the early part of the season when we were...

    Sharks Related Podcast Eps

    I've only listened to the first 15 minutes or so of the SharkCast and I wouldn't call it overly fluffy at all. They spend plenty of time talking about where it went wrong - too many errors at crucial times. The line "we beat ourselves" is pretty much spot on. For the most part, we defended well...

    Cowboys game

    Word. Probably both. Fixed it. Nope. I reckon he's done.

    Alexander, Ennis & Anasta call for Sharks halves to be Trindall, Atkinson

    Gus Gould made an interesting observation on 100% Footy last night. He talked about Shane Warne and how he had a a bag full of tricks - the flipper, the zooter, the wrong 'un, the top spinner etc etc. He then said how there were times when the pitch was not favourable to him at all, no turn, no...

    Cowboys game

    Nope. If we're looking for 20 minutes from the bench I'd pick Billy Burns before him.

    Alexander, Ennis & Anasta call for Sharks halves to be Trindall, Atkinson

    While I agree with that, the stats from the weekend show he ran the ball every third time he touched it. I don't think it's so much that he's not running, as to how he's running. As others have said, he's way too lateral. Pretty much what you're saying with "He’s not taking the line on with any...

    Alexander, Ennis & Anasta call for Sharks halves to be Trindall, Atkinson

    You forgot his panicked offload, late in the tackle count, that lead to a 15 metre loss and put us under all sorts of pressure. I ain't no Toby hater, but he had a night to forget.

    Alexander, Ennis & Anasta call for Sharks halves to be Trindall, Atkinson

    The loss is not entirely on Nicho. But, as the "marquee" player, he needs to be stepping up in big games a lot more than he is. There's no escaping the fact that he is starting to build quite the impressive resume of failing to step up when it counts. 4 finals matches, 2 origins and pretty much...

    Dinner Ale better half than Nico.

    Still doesn't make it right :p

    Alexander, Ennis & Anasta call for Sharks halves to be Trindall, Atkinson

    It might be hyperbole, but I don't think it's that far off tbh. He's at the end of the third year of his tenure and has a squad that, aside from McInnes, was either signed, or retained, by him. For me, next year is make or break. He has us there or thereabouts, but can he get us to the level...

    Alexander, Ennis & Anasta call for Sharks halves to be Trindall, Atkinson

    Fullback - no. I think he'd be little better than Will. We need more. Another position maybe, but where? Centres? Not at the expense of Ramien or Iro. Which leaves the forwards. Front row is obviously out, and I don't see him on an edge. So that'd be lock. And I don't see that being viable...

    Game day vs The Stroms in the finals race

    Agreed. I can't remember which match it was, or which team (though I think it was the Dogs) but it seemed the instant a player stayed down the trainer was right there checking on them. That bought time for the Bunker to have a look and, whaddya know, penalty. I hate it, but when in Rome.

    Petty things that give you the shits…

    It's the wispy, caterpillar-like mustaches for me. If you can grow one, knock yourself out. If not, shave the f*&king thing off.

    Alexander, Ennis & Anasta call for Sharks halves to be Trindall, Atkinson

    My biggest concern is we have another 4 years of it to look forward to. I really don't know what the answer is.

    Game day vs The Stroms in the finals race

    According to the rules you can only challenge the decision which caused a stop in play. But that doesn’t stop the Bunker from poring over everything in the lead up and penalising something else. The players all know it and play for it.
