    Manu poll - to Vulcans for a week?

    Dropping Manu on two mistakes is ludicrous. Unfortunately, playing winger or fullback is a lonely place sometimes. If you make a mistake, you are the last line of defence and it is out there to see. If a prop misses a tackle or drops a ball, it never appears so bad as the one on one misses at...

    Commentary that stays with you

    The Moose again, after a hugh blue. "there is nothing wrong with two big men, standing toe to toe on a saturday afternoon and exchanging pleasantries..." Now the commentators have to express disgust.

    Origin

    Exactly right. I'm from NSW. A bloke from my street played for NSW. I went to a number of Origin games in Sydney in the 80's. I loved it then. But now, tests are the 'pinnacle'. I get so sick of players saying origin is. Its the pinnacle of hype. But I would be very comfortable in saying that...

    Commentary that stays with you

    Back in the 80's, remember it was a manly game....long time ago but, rex 'the moose' mossop "awww great piece of play, he didn't make his intentions unknown." Not on the footy, but Rex commenting about nudists on the beach where he lived on the news. "look its bad enough to have these...

    Dale Husband

    Well I'll take the guys with poly and maori credientials on pronunciation, but I couldn't work out who Husband was talking about. I thought he was saying Matai..... As for correct pronunciation, why should Australians talk with a New Zealand accent? Anybody with the name spelt "grant" is...

    new zealand v australia - test match thread

    I was pretty comfortable with the ref. I don't think he decided the result with his decisions. I think the Slater sin binning was spot on. I read one SMH article that tried to suggest that Slater should have got off. Whatever. The decision was whether it was a penalty try or not. It probably...

    The last straw for Channel Nein

    Nothing to do with the NRL. Its the RL commission that makes these decisions now. The NRL answers and should answer to the commission which looks after the RL itself. Not the interest of 16 franchises.

    The last straw for Channel Nein

    Having a standalone weekend for the Anzac test is absolutely right. International RL should be given this sort of status. If they did this, and stuck to it, the tradition would evolve and get better and better. NZRL/ARL stuffed up by not making it a Saturday 7.30 kick off in NZ, so live at...

    Anzac Test Predictions

    I hope a few Jaffa's turn up. I was thinking of going up, but have to coach in Wellington so can't get away. Ticket sales are crap I hear. NZRL needs a good crowd to make money to fund league development in NZ. Loose money and its a disaster!

    3-2-1 v Rabbitohs

    Better forward effort. They weren't complete pussies and weren't dominated for once. Also noted they started using a different defensive pattern on the edges. They werent using the same compressed defence. This time they numbered up out wide and it worked better. Wroppo played his best game...

    Team V Souths

    I've been away. Just watched the Canberra game last night. Very emotionless as I knew we got flogged. So I just watched to see what went wrong. Our defence up the middle was better. But all the Raiders had to do was attack the edges. Thats what they did. Made yards or scored every time they...

    Inu & Hurrell named in Vulcans side.

    Its after April fools so I guess this is true? Is it a smokescreen? Seriously starting to loose patience with Bluey. He appears illogical. I hope for his sake, the warriors win this week. Loose, and my respect for him as coach is starting to slide. Win, well lets hope we see a game plan, a...

    The Warriors myth

    I add my vote to this comment. Nail on head. It took Cleary a while but to get it right. There was just a swell of opinion that Bluey was the man and unfortuantely, the warriors management got caught up in it. If they had offered Cleary another 2 or 3 years, we'd be firing I reckon. I'd be...

    v Canberra

    Hitman, I agree. But the issue here is our defence. Obviously we have a problem in the first 20. I heard Bluey recognise the other day that that is fastest period of the game because everyone is fresh. So a plan should be to not drop the ball in that first 20, control the pace of the game...

    Where are the doubters now ?

    I am more concerned that you thought Cleary wasn't a good coach. He was and is. But look at how the Penriff panthers are going. It takes a while, agreed. Bluey's the one who thought he could just waltz in and win the thing. He shot his mouth off that he was gunna do it easy. Sure, I be...

    Where are the doubters now ?

    I start off thinking you are on the wind up and just jokin. But I read your posts and think you believe that? Really? Bluey is showing he is a really niave coach at this level. The current warriors team has some important injuries in Luck and Lillyman. It aslo has some weaknesses...

    Contenders

    And I took account of that Brisbanes finals performance last year in making my claim that it was the "poorest warriors performance in 5 years" assessment. Brisbane were a good team. The chooks are rubbish!

    Contenders

    They don't give out premierships in March. But who now thinks the warriors are now premiership contenders? A forward pack completely and utterly dominated. A defensive pattern that crumbles as soon as the other team makes yards. Halves that go missing for long periods of tough games. Centres...

    McClennan blasts referees

    Other than a couple of hold down inconsistencies, I thought the warriors got the best of the 50/50 calls. Bluey, blaming the refs is rank. Your team was garbage.

    Your KIWI team for the Anzac test

    I am very glad some of you blokes arn't picking the test team. With the Kiwis have the greatest depth of players in its history, don't pick part timers in specialist positions. 1. Hoffman (but Locke could depend on game plan) 2. Manu (has to be in) 3. Matai 4. SKD (Glen might be in better...
