    Hayden will top score

    Yeah exactly, one good score and everyone will be off his back. He is making the starts and doing the hard work early, he has to focus and convert them.

    Katich

    That NSW thing is so true. Katich was solid for WA, but was never really in Australian contention. Moved to NSW and it was as if he added 20 runs to his career average in a few matches. I'll also say that Michael Clarke further emphasises that theory of play for NSW, play for Australia. On...

    Michael Vaughan should have shown some Balls

    I think this test just goes to show that Vaughan has more development to go as a leader. This test and the second test, Australia played poorly and England were well on top and had a chance to really bury Australia. The fact that Australia got as close as they did in the 2nd test, and survived...

    Andrew Symonds

    Yes I agree that saying Symonds is a failure in test cricket is absurd. If players were judged on their first two tests, many of the greatest players of all time wouldn't have achieved what they have. Likewise with bowlers. Everyone knows Shane Warne got belted in his first test. Lucky selectors...

    Changes Are Necassary

    Exactly. Kasprowicz would do us well, but I think something unseen to the poms like Tait could be our wildcard. They've certainly done their homework on our bowlers, and our batsmen. Tait is unseen. Talk of Hussey is going around, and Jaques to an extent, but what about Martin Love? He got...

    Michael Vaughan should have shown some Balls

    Australia won't really be thinking they can win this game. I'd say they will bat conservatively and see what the situation is. If we need 200 with about 30 overs to go, and we have wickets in hand, you might see us have a go but if things turn bad, we will shut up shop and bat for the draw. If...

    Round 23 3,2,1 vs. St. George

    3. Webcke (full of heart) 2. Hodges (only missed out because Webcke was superb) 1. Walters (he was pretty good behind the line showing some passion, some enthusiasm and encouragement)

    Brisbane's Defensive Problems Need Addressing

    5th tackle options for the Broncos have been appauling of late. Plenty of ball in the attacking zone, but horrible kicks and no imagination in attack. If they can get a good win this week it will give them some confidence. Barnes needs a go at 5/8, Casey McGuire to the bench and B Berrigan...

    Premiership favorites 7 weeks out

    Love it how the Broncos are being written off. This season apparently teams which have beaten them are the new danger team. Warriors earlier in the year were seen as the dark horses after being the Broncos twice. The Bulldogs a few weeks back beat the Broncos and were seen as the danger...

    Would we have 8 games per round if the new gold coast team starts playing in 2007

    Split round for origin with 8 teams playing the weekend before for the first origin, then swapping to having the week after origin 2. And vice versa Origin 3 all teams have a bye

    Changes Are Necassary

    Hussey? Katich? Hodge? Bracken? Your opinion, but Katich would be a dreadful player at number 3, his technique is too sloppy. Hussey, possibly an opening option but would be more of an asset during the middle overs where he can build an innings when the ball is old. Hodge, his time was a year...

    How Good is Inglis!!!

    Inglis is better with the football than Slater in my opinion. He has given players nightmares in the Qld Cup, however Inglis would be great in the centres too. I'd be interested to see how he goes in the centres, but fullback allows him to roam so much more. Slater would be hard done by to...

    Lockyer back to fullback

    Todays game against the dragons proved a few things: 1. Brisbane's attack lacks creativity. They fail to keep the ball alive and have played with little to no depth 2. The backs don't get enough football 3. We are lacking a decent hooker 4. Lockyer is a great player, but isn't suited to...

    Changes Are Necassary

    Yep exactly, I think they turned their back on him too quickly. Another point on Hayden is that he has been getting starts and its only a matter of time until he converts one, and he has also scored a few runs on this tour in the trial matches and went quite well in the one dayers. If...

    Broncos side in 2010

    He could still be there, but not in the centres.

    Changes Are Necassary

    Prematurely turning your back on Hayden. Nobody was calling for him to go until they showed some stats. Just media hype and tension. I'd say leave him for the rest of the series and then reassess at the end of the ashes where his career is going. Him and Langer are the best opening pair we...

    After it enters the competition how long do you think can they win the premiership

    It depends on who gets signed. Got no doubt they will be competitive but I think realistically, looking at the Warriors and the Cowboys will show how progress happens. I think the Gold Coast will become a force quicker than the Cowboys did, mainly because the Cowboys didn't have 2 internationals...

    That will do me

    In one sentence you are saying that Lockyer isn't going that great, and that the whole team is playing well. Then the next one you are saying putting a 'quality' player into a crucial position (in this case being 5/8) it makes a huge difference, 6-7 places difference on the ladder in fact. If...

    How???

    Norths are going so well. I think Storm should give Rob Tanielu a run. He was terrific against Burleigh. Kaufusi also had a good game vs Sharks. If there are problems then they should look to Norths for some players right now.
