    Opinion The next big thing in coaching that never got there.

    Saw Jim Dymock in the Titans box tonight, he's been close a couple of times but probably won't get a head coach gig now. I remember the same comments being made about the immortal Steve Rogers back in the day, how blokes that missed a few jobs got a smell about them. David Fairleigh was the HC...

    Oxygen masks at half-time?

    Never thought about it before but thought it'd be what the big clubs with no financial constraints might try. My boys were out for the count tonight after two sinbins in the 1st half, just wondering if anyone's thought of this at half-time. It'd take some getting used to but no more than the...

    Tom Dearden

    Can someone tell me what the fuss is about? I get neat, little else, he's no Alf. And if he's not Alf, a good big man will always beat a good little man. And we're chasing him as a partner to Townsend, please tell me what I'm missing?

    100% Footy

    I tape this and watch it on fast-forward to minimise the ear bleeds from the boofy blokey BS. Occasionally they make good points and there's no denying the footy IQ on the show. Grimaced when I sat through Gus' rant about the bunker during the Tigers match replay and he's still gibbering on...

    I love a good ad

    Sorry mods, not sure where to put this. I fkn hate ads and I love the mute button for this reason. But I don't mind so much when they make an effort to entertain me. Love the mark Wahlberg/ Kenny Rogers ad but just saw a Bwaith / Red roosters ad and loved it. Can't cop bwaith generally, much...

    Luai, the new JT?

    Took me a while to work out what was nagging at me but I got there in the end. Much stronger and with more all-round skills but the footwork is very Thurston c.2004. At this point the cliche would be, "If he’s half the player Thurston was, he'll go alright" but I reckon he's well past there.

    Tipping Thread

    Dunno whether it will work or not but thought it was worth a go. Started because I'm 4-0 and having my first beers watching the new season (I worked late the last two days). Resisted the media pressure to get on the Bunnies bandwagon, survived the Dogs' strong start, the Broncos had me...

    News Milk Fuller story

    The push is on for mick fuller to fill one of the vacancies on the commission with a puff-piece to smooth the way. Can't find a link, it's been taken down. Next there was a headline in the online SMH, something like The Letter that proves Mick Fuller stopped a police officer joining the...

    Clearly v DCE

    I read that Cleary was chosen ahead of DCE in the Kangaroos merit team by former nsw coach and current national selector laurie Daley. No blues bias there. Cleary had a great season at club level until it mattered and two poor games out of three in origin. DCE was the incumbent and...

    GF Day Coverage

    Like many here, first time I've watched nein in ages. And I'm well and truly reminded why. Don't usually watch pregame as I can't stand wading througha sewer of shit hoping for an occasional nugget worth hearing. Today I taped the lot and watched it on fast forward. Can still understand what...

    MOM Cash to Junior Clubs?

    First time I've heard that, is it new? I've been advocating it (or a charity) for 30 years.

    How do you get a player to retire when they have a contract?

    Blair's sudden retirement piqued my interest. IIRC, he had a contract for next year, as did Darius Boyd. If I'm sitting on $500,000+ for next year, you could play me in reserves, tell me I'm threatening my legacy till you're blue in the face, short of paying me out, I'm staying.

    Sharks fans, did Holmes have hands like the Burgii when he played for you?

    The Fan

    Always wanted to watch this show but could rarely be bothered as with most shows not about the game. Tonight was great with coaches asked the error that annoys them most. My immediate answer was the dumb error but there was a surprising variety of errors mentioned.

    Fox studio team

    I rarely watch the crap after the game because it's more about the panel than the game but I watched it tonight and have to say they have nailed it. Ennis was my most hated player when he played but he's much better as a commentator, gronk is uniformly excellent and mal adds the gravitas nein...
