    Bennett's ego out of control

    This thread wasn't meant to be about whether Bennett is a super coach or not (he is) and whether he got the most out of the St George list (he did) and whether St George and Brisbane supporters think his sh_t don't stink (they don't). It was meant to be about exactly what this quote above says...

    Bennett's ego out of control

    Greatest coach of all time, yes, but like the greatest golfer of all time, his public image about being an honourable bloke is a massive smokescreen. Tells the Roosters "sack Ricky Stuart and then I'll talk about coming to work for you" (he didn't). Tells the Dragons "sack Nathan Brown and...

    Bennett back to Broncos in 2011?

    Lucky that Henjak was given that assurance and that Bennett has extended his deal at the Dragons and that Darius Boyd is going to stay with him.

    None Of Corey Parkers Business....

    No inside mail but putting two and two together: 1. Inglis is all about money - $300K or whatever he is going to get paid by anyone inside the cap is nowhere near what he thinks his market value is (and he is probably right). 2. Broncos probably had a deal ready for him that was $300K inside...

    Hodges had a multi-year deal with the Roosters signed shortly before he moved back to Brisbane.

    Joel Monaghan quits Raiders over Twitter pic

    Not sure if this is a double post (can't read through 80 pages to check), but this is an interesting link: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/columnists/paulackford/2400013/Mr-Big-is-really-Munsters-nice-guy.html Claims (from 2003) that Phil Kearns (rugby union) did something similar on more...

    Joel Monaghan quits Raiders over Twitter pic

    There is a big difference between doing this for sexual gratification and simulating it for the benefit of equally wasted mates who think it is the most hilarious thing they have since since one of them lit hit own f-rt two minutes earlier. Obviously this case is in the latter category. Big...

    Archer wins the grand final

    The rain is relevant. If it is raining in the second half it is a massive advantage to whoever has the lead. It is much safer to play low risk football in the rain, whereas if you are pushing passes and offloads to score points when behind, these stuff up in the rain. Archer didn't organise...

    Archer wins the grand final

    Fair analogy (?) that maybe even Dragons fans will agree with: England vs Germany at the World Cup finals this year, England is behind 2-1 but they are attacking, have all the momentum and then they look to have scored to equalise. The ball is 2m behind the goal, but somehow the on-field refs...

    Archer wins the grand final

    This thread should continue until refereeing standards improve. In the last few years the Roosters have consistently had by far the worse penalty differential of any team. This may be justified, but the standard of refereeing doesn't give supporters any confidence. The Grand Final is the best...

    Archer wins the grand final

    The biggest problem with rugby league refereeing (and let's face it the game has a systematic problem with refereeing - almost everyone thinks the standard is bad) is that so many calls are subjective. Offside - players are inside the 10 about 30 times per game, 1-2 penalties get blown. Holding...

    Archer wins the grand final

    Agree with this and that is why the Dragons deserved to win the Premiership. You will sound balanced if you admit that 75% of the crap decisions went against the Roosters. It would have been a much better game if we were able to see whether the best team of the year (Dragons) was able to rebound...

    Archer wins the grand final

    Slight correction for you Finchy: So Robert Finch is conspiring against you. Must be since his son played for the Roosters.

    Archer wins the grand final

    Finch senior - I didn't realise that you were a member of this Forum! Give us a scoop, are you still planning to retire as referee's boss at the end of the year, or are you thinking of staying on to try to win back to back Premierships?

    Archer wins the grand final

    You would have thoroughly enjoyed watching the replay and seeing Morris get the pass away just before he went into touch, watching him not push Perrett in the back, also watching Perrett not get obstructed leading to him to tackling Morris late in the air, watching Dean Young not knock on into...

    Archer wins the grand final

    Since St George supporters are claiming their 16th Premiership and you are such a rational cool calm and collected winner with not a hint of dummy spit in you, give me and all of the other sore losers and answer to this question: In which of your 16 Premierships did you get the greatest help...

    Bennett back to Broncos in 2011?

    Hope you guys are just as happy when he signs Darius Boyd at the Broncos for less money than he is on at St George, with the balance being made up by outside business interests in Brisbane that claim to have no association with the Broncos and St George explain they were forced to let him go...

    Archer wins the grand final

    I think in the spirit of this post, we have to accept that multiple entities 'won' the Grand Final, St George-Illawarra, St George Dragons, Illawarra Steelers, Tony Archer, Robert Finch, Bill Harrigan and the two touchies. All of them should be able to take credit for a Premiership win. A bit...

    Why we call it Man of the Match

    In response to the original thread question: Man of the match = Darius Boyd Best on ground = Tony Archer I think this explains the difference between the two terms.

    Archer wins the grand final

    Maybe the refs were watching a Seinfeld episode before the GF and decided to only let a team be awarded a try if there was a knock on, player out or missed penalty in the lead up. Of course that meant that the one try that had zero element of doubt in the game (Leilua in the corner) had to be...
