    News RiP Tommy Raudonikis

    The thing is what's mostly missed. Is that when Wests and Balmain merged that both Wayne Pearce the coach of the Tigers and Tommy coach of the Magpies went for the coaching job. The board chose Pearce. Pearce said Tommy was fantastic and so gracious. And Tommy agreed to stay on in a role to...

    News RiP Tommy Raudonikis

    RIP Tommy. He was a great rugby player and coach but he was so much more then that. He wasn't afraid to use his profile to back causes he believed in when he got behind the union movement during the introduction of work choices. He had some tough times in life. The loss of his grandson from a...

    The big NRL divide

    Gus Gould last night stated that the NRL closing down the Holden Cup comp has made some clubs slacker in development then other clubs. Gould has blamed this for some teams pulling further away then other clubs contributing out to the blow out scorelines. Its hard to know if I think this is a...

    The big NRL divide

    I'm starting to get a bit over this. The 'Broncos are complaining' bullshit narrative that is continuing to get brought up. If you actually look at the Broncos forum its more complaining about the decisions that have been made by management and players who have underperformed rather then the...

    The big NRL divide

    Broncos vs Rabbitohs could get ugly as well. Brad Fittler did say on the Sunday Footy show though he thought the Broncos were getting closer in some of those patches despite the scoreline against the Storm.

    Will Papenhuyzen be better than Slater?

    Greg Inglis went to another level after Madge brought him back to fullback. He had to play centre at Melbourne when Slater was healthy and it carried over to the Souths. But everybody forgot how great he was at fullback until Madge moved him back there and the rest was history. James Maloney...

    Ryan James

    He provided good presser on the Gold Coast Titans kickers. There was one time he got smashed I think from Jarrod Wallace and dropped the ball. But it was more due to the fact he received a hospital pass from Josh Papalii. I saw Papalii apologised to him after it happened.

    Will Papenhuyzen be better than Slater?

    From memory Billy Slater was dropped from Queensland in 2005 as fullback after game 2. It really was stupid decision, and certainly Slater was not warranted in being dropped. But QLD selectors were looking for answers in the wrong places. And were itching to give Matty Bowens his chance at...

    Will Papenhuyzen be better than Slater?

    Billy Slater made a mistake with the on field depression sledge. But I remember reading in another article that Slater said his sledge was not intended as taking a dig at Cory Paterson mental health issues. Slater apologised for the comment and so he should. Slater rap sheet though over his...

    Will Papenhuyzen be better than Slater?

    I'm thinking exactly the same thing. It's really going to be hard to compare Will Papenhuyzen with Billy Slater if he's not playing State of origin at fullback and testing his wares against the best in the world. James Tedesco is now captain and will continue with Boyd Cordner's future up in the...

    Player unrest at the Cows?

    No, not with a three year contract. Cowboys have already paid out a million to Paul Green. I will say though that the idea of the Cowboys going completely outside the box and hiring English coach Shaun Wane intrigued me. Reports were Wane was interviewing well for the Cowboys job. It was down...

    The big NRL divide

    Yeah bullshit. I didn't complain, I was more seeking discussion about the factors that are behind the lopsided margins. You didn't read the post properly so it just shows how much of a simpleton you are.

    The big NRL divide

    Panthers 46 Sea Eagles 6 Rabbitohs 38 Bulldogs 0 Storm 40 Broncos 6 The Cowboys as we speak are getting mauled by the Sharks. Me thinks there is a big divide between the NRL teams. The factors behind some will link to the new six again rule. But Gus Gould said on his podcast that its not a...

    Opinion Is Ricky Stuart the most overrated coach ever?

    That was a dud call Suliasi Vunivalu ruled he touched the sidelines when he didn't. But Storm would have had to score with 1 minute and 20 left on the clock if they had retain possession from the kickoff. That's if the Storm had scored. Lets not start rewriting history by suggesting the Storm...

    Opinion Is Ricky Stuart the most overrated coach ever?

    I will say though the pass from Kodi Nikorima to Ben Murdoch-Masila was a dead set shocking forward. I can live with a pass that is a fraction forward. If you get away with it, good luck to you as that's just part of the game. Graham Annesely has hinted the game may trial new technology. That...

    Milford

    I tend not completely blame it all on the Dragons. The Dragons were traveling fine and it all came to halt when Gareth Widdop suddenly wanted to be released from his contract on sentimental grounds. Dragons then acquired Norman to eventually replace Widdop, but it didn't work as Norman wasn't a...

    Milford

    People on here joke that he should be offered chump change, but I still wouldn't be surprised if someone throws serious coin at him. If Moses Mbye and Josh Reynolds get thrown serious coin, then I wouldn't be surprised that Milford does too. It just won't be anything close to a million a year...

    Rumoured Signings

    It's not recouping $965,000 the Sharks have already paid five months of his salary. Each club would have to go halves paying $635,000 for the remaining contract (1.27 mil). Anthony Milford is on a million this year. We all know he is not playing like it either. The Broncos really can only...

    Rumoured Signings

    I understand that they are weary of handing out big contracts after the Sam Burgess mistake. I just wouldn't put Adam Reynolds in the same category by offering him a extra two years. Apparently there cap is tight which is understandable. But I'm not sure it was wise by offering a massive deal to...
