    James Maloney

    Its a fair point that Chris Sandow used the shoulder charge as defense mechanism to protect himself from other players. But I still think at the end of the day Sandow should never have left Souths. Some of Sandows time at Parramatta was derailed by personal issues. But at Souths he fitted better...

    James Maloney

    Both needed a change is some good rewriting of history. James Maloney was on to his fifth club when he joined the Panthers. Maloney wanted an upgrade on his contract. The Sharks justifiably baulked as he had a contract which would signal his departure. It was reported Matty Moylan didn't see eye...

    James Maloney

    He's announced his retirement. For some players chopping and changing clubs can hurt their careers but it never did with James Maloney. He was solid where ever he played. I actually think Penrith won out of the swap with the Sharks for Matt Moylan. Although I will acknowledge Moylan's injuries...

    Sterling to quit nine

    It may be his decision but then again it may not. He insisted it was his decision to quit the Thursday night Footy Show. But I think that was just a cover for the fact Nine axed him and saving Nine from a PR backlash. Apparently the reason he wants to quit is to make way for younger...

    2021 R21 Sun - Gold Coast 36-14 North Qld @ Cbus Super

    The Beau Fermor pass I had to wait for the replay to work out how he did it.

    2021 R21 Sun - Gold Coast 36-14 North Qld @ Cbus Super

    I think this comment is unfair. You have Wallace, Fotuaika, Proctor and Fa'asuamaleaui on the start to bash the forwards. And then you bring David Fifita on when their tiring to have an impact. Its good coaching. However, Fifita right now doesn't seem to be an 80 minute player which may be a...

    The Brad Arthur experiment. 8 years on….

    Say what you will but Mitchell Moses got a three year extension. Brad Arthurs has been there for eight years with a year left. Another excuse won't cut the mustard. Arthurs also had a slow start with the Eels in his coaching career and the eels board and even the media gave him more leeway then...

    The Brad Arthur experiment. 8 years on….

    Parramatta next week's clash against Manly may be big in determining the top 4. Parramatta in their current form may already be finished in securing a top four spot . They still have Storm and Penrith in their remaining matches. And it may be more likely be between Manly and Roosters for the...

    The Brad Arthur experiment. 8 years on….

    I still think Souths are not in Melbourne or a (healthy) Penrith class. Both those teams would have kept Parramatta to 0 or at least single digits. If Brad Arthurs is let go at the end of the year. He can be confident he will probably find another NRL head coaching job again. He obviously not...

    2021 R21 Sun - Gold Coast 36-14 North Qld @ Cbus Super

    Realistically if Titans don't win this game they shouldn't play finals football. Coach Justin Holbrook may have worked this team out with bringing David Fifita off the bench. And the halves combination of Toby Sexton and Ash Taylor together. Interestingly there has been a petition started by...

    The Passion of the Kevin

    Kotoni Staggs has reinjured his knee and will miss the rest of the season. While its not the same injury, its still a worry for the Broncos. After what the Broncos went through with Jack Bird they don't need a Jack Bird 2. It may halt the momentum Kevin Walters was making with this team as...

    The Passion of the Kevin

    This team looks so much better with Kotoni Staggs. That if Staggs had played earlier in the season you have to wonder if the season would be as much of car crash as it's been. However, top 8 would still be out of the question. The team still has no resilience though. The Bunker completely let...

    News Phil Gould new Bulldogs GM of football

    It wasn't actually Gus Gould decision to rehire Ivan Clearly. I'm pretty sure the Panthers chairman was making decisions behind his back which was signaling his tenure was about to end. I'm pretty sure it was reported Gould was after Wayne Bennett not long before Anthony Griffin was punted as...

    Maroons team for the successful 2021 Origin series

    Interestingly Daly Cherry-Evans got booed when called up to make his speech at the end of the game. I was wondering if there were only NSW fans left at the game but James Tedesco got booed as well. I'm wondering if the fans still haven't got over Cherry-Evans pulling out playing for the Titans...

    Next Queensland coach?

    It will be interesting they continue with Paul Green. Some of the suggestions have been with coaches that don't have a lot of experience in Jonathan Thurston and Billy Slater. Brad Fittler had been a NRL coach previously and still did alot of lower level coaching before getting the job. Wayne...

    Worst signing of the season 2021?

    I never understand why players leave their situation for a worse situation. I actually think it worked out worse for both parties involved when Joseph Leilua and Canberra Raiders parted company. He left after they made the Grand final and has stunk it up at the Tigers. While the Raiders ended up...

    Should the Canberra Raiders make a play for coach Wayne Bennett?

    Wayne Bennett will always be considered one of the all time great coaches. I still think the shine has came off a little bit in recent years. 1) He hasn't won a comp for 10 years. 2) Has left previous teams salary cap in a mess with some questionable deals (Jack Bird, Anthony Milford etc) 3)...

    Should the Canberra Raiders make a play for coach Wayne Bennett?

    I actually think Wayne Bennett would be a better fit at the Titans. Raiders probably need a rebuild while Titans have most of the pieces in place just need someone to put all together. I actually don't mind Justin Holbrook though, but if he falters next year then questions will be asked. Titans...
