    Round 8 - Bulldogs vs Rabbitohs: Sunday 5th July 6:30pm @Bankwest Stadium

    Oh ok. How long is his contract and for how much?

    Round 8 - Bulldogs vs Rabbitohs: Sunday 5th July 6:30pm @Bankwest Stadium

    "Mitchell: ...... he went missing at times ..." That's what he does and why many of us say that he will never be a great fullback. Even on a good day he goes missing in games. Fullback is such a demanding position that he really needs to learn to put in for the entire 80 minutes. He certainly...

    Rule changes you'd like to see for next season

    Sure but not to the degree since the rule changes. The game has sped up to such a degree that often markers don't have time to get back into position, so it's not always deliberate. It's easily fixed. Refs need a call and hand signal that tells markers that they're off side if they attempt a...

    Rule changes you'd like to see for next season

    You've noticed that too huh? Normally it's just Melbourne but all teams seem to be following suit to some degree. If teams aren't careful the NRL might consider just one marker to solve the problem [Not sure if that would be a good change or not] The Storm are still fond of using arm locks...

    Rule changes you'd like to see for next season

    Hmm, need to think about that ...... Agree that any player taken off for HIA should sit out the game. Having 6 players on the bench sounds reasonable in principle [4 interchange + 2 reserves to replace a player who has come off due to HIA] but I can see where that could be rorted. For...

    Match Discussion: Round 8 vs Storm @ Suncorp Stadium

    Exactly. And even more so with how the new rules have sped the game up. The forwards would be absolutely spent after 80 minutes.

    Round 7 v Roosters

    Tough game. Those mistakes cost them. Very unlike Easts. Golden point blows chunks big time. Both teams deserved a point after that performance. A draw is a result [What dickhead introduced GP? Sounds like something Greenberg would do]

    Match Discussion: Round 8 vs Storm @ Suncorp Stadium

    Golden point blows chunks big time. [What dickhead introduced it? Sounds like something Greenberg would do] As much as I dislike the Storm, both teams deserved a point. Crap, Melbourne just got a penalty right in front. Bugger it.

    Match Discussion: Round 8 vs Storm @ Suncorp Stadium

    So far so good. 22 to 6 at half time. Tough game. Fatigue will definitely affect the big boys. Both fullbacks will be dangerous if given room to move.

    Round 7 v Roosters

    Thank you for the comprehensive reply @TruSaint "Players can earn unlimited amounts from corporate sponsors who are not associated with the club ..." Interesting.

    Round 7 v Roosters

    Regarding the salary cap; when investigating compliance, does the NRL investigate players finances? Talk of 3rd party payments hasn't been raised as of late but I seem to remember stories of players being given 'inducements' that aren't included under the salary cap quite a few years back. Like...

    Round 7 v Roosters

    What is it with so many of the Qld players this year? So many are playing without passion and little effort. Maybe Kevvy told them to save themselves for SoO? It was a rather good game to watch so even I groaned when Saints were laying on the pressure only to drop the ball. Don't mean to...

    Queensland Maroons 2020

    The only advantage would be to those carrying injury. SoO is played so fast as it is, the new rules will make it even quicker so match fitness will be crucial. But the Canetoads shouldn't worry, Kevvy is a genius so he'll figure something out. Gee, I can hardly wait ...... lol.

    Round 7 v Roosters

    "just as bad"? To be fair I've only seen the Saints last game against Easts but I saw a lot of potential. Without costly handling errors, that would have been a really close game. Broncos on the other hand, I've seen nothing to give their fans any hope. Their highly paid experienced players...

    Round 7 v Roosters

    That must have been a frustrating game for you Saints fans. Handling errors really cost you. Still, Saints played much better against a class side than I was expecting. As an outsider looking in, I'd be dropping Hunt. Do you have any young halves who could step up? Latrell was no great loss...

    Rd6: Parra v Roosters GAME DAY thread 20/6/20

    Gee, you Parra fans are easily triggered. Just as well I wasn't rude. [It would also appear that some of you are overly sensitive puffcakes. One of my posts was deleted for "attempting to avoid a word filter" or words to that effect. Wtf?] Look, I fully understand why players like Tedesco...

    He must have learnt that from Bitches Poses.

    KEARNEY GONE!

    Interesting comment. Maybe that's exactly what they need then, a coach who'll expect them to put in. But if you're saying that Kiwi players need to be treated with kid gloves and a bit of a cuddle then Uncle Wayne is your man. Offer him twice what he's getting at Souths and he'll jump ship.

    Match Discussion: Round 6 vs Broncos @ Central Coast Stadium

    We play well one week, then we're crap the next. We lost to the Titans FFS. No excuses there. Off course all RL fans are happy to have a comp this year [Thank Thor for V'Landys] but it's a shame that there's no 2nd tier comp for coaches to send under performing players and match fitness for...
