    Big finish

    Probably the closest finish to a season for a while. 3 of the top 4 get beaten in the one weekend. Teams who are looking for an easy draw to finish the year are getting smacked because the cellar dwellers are inspiring each other after seeing that the top dwellers are beatable - maybe a few who...

    Why so serious?

    Truly, I have no idea what all the negativity is about in that other thread. Seriously. I thought it was a great game. I watched it again this morning. Some bits I rewound and watched over and over in slow-mo. I plan on watching it a third time this arv with a few brews. I thought it had...

    4 into 2

    Sharks Manly Dolphins Rorters Our draw gets us there. Other 3 all play each other and have some bludgers of games against top 4 sides. Warriors and broncs draws means they wont drop too many points. Metcalf gone has a say in this for NZ but dont think we can make up the 4 points. And Pennies...

    Some more honesty

    Presser

    If im a player and watch that, I go to bed knowing my spot in the team is safe. "The scoreline doesn't reflect the effort." Coach happy with the improvement. Things they spoke about this week, he saw. So happy about that. Elephant man sitting beside him backed this up. Reporter asked straight...

    Some real honesty

    The NRL is a young man's game. There are exceptions but they are generally halves or outliers. Cam Mcinnes is 31 going on 51. The argument, 'yeah but he competes' is the mantra of a loser. It's about effectiveness. If you have little to no effect on the comp week after week your time is up. They...

    Play the ball speed

    I don't believe it. I reckon the piss is being taken and it's the brain child of some marketing dick at the NRL. Add this to the list of 200 stats per player, they'll never know we just make it up. Unless someone could explain it to me... In a set of 6 no 2 tackles might be the same. 2 man. 3...

    Yaaaaawn

    After popping our cherry early October 2016 most of us 50 year old virgins are now content to take a stool at the end of the bar and watch the band. No amount of skirt will ever outdo our first. I don't know how many hours I've got left on this planet but I just wasted 2 tonight. That game...

    A quick rinse

    Is Flanno watching our games? Is the cooling off period for Atko passed - surely that's going through his head. An impact player with zero impact. Has had 10 weeks to show last year wasn't a one year wonder. Comes on with tired forwards and has not made one break, set up one play, put a quality...

    A Quick Rinse

    We surveyed 1000 people and asked them: "after watching the presser, who is the bald guy?" We took the top 100 answers: 61 people said 'The winning coach'. 12 - 'Someone who doesn't know the result." 9 - 'A guy off his meds.' 8 - 'A guy in denial.' 5 - 'A guy off his meds and in denial.' 5 - 'A...

    The Washup

    Sam Stonestreet walks into a bar. Barman: Why the long face? Sam: I'll have a double. I'll be in the corner. Fitzfarker would be the type of bloke has the same breakfast every morning. Holidays at the same place every xmas. Favourite movie is Groundhog day. Is currently reading a book he's...

    Funeral

    Murphy on the news last night - doing it very tough at the funeral of his mate who died during a game. Had to read his speech in sunglasses. His mate died in a tackle - guy who hit him doing it extremely tough...

    Kicking game

    Absolute crap. It's expected and accepted. Bird kicking early and out. Robson couldn't apply pressure to save his life - shit bomb after shit bomb. Just hand it back and save your foot. Graham tried one just as bad. Straight to the fullback. Our chasers have chance. None. Just...

    Foran v Bird

    I remember when Foran made his debut and commentators were doing cartwheels. A tough attacking/defending 5/8 who made an impression game 1. He could also kick tactically - finding the ground - to set up tries, mostly for the fullback Stewart. Well his first 2 games were no more impressive...

    40 minutes

    The first?... the best of the year so far. A halftime lead against a gun side. So what's different? Less Gallen and we decide to play football. For the first time since Shep and Morris had control we decide to run some different lines. And push some passes. Lewis outside Bird is...

    Positive Flanno post #1

    Sandow - last night. MOM. Again. Dynamo halfback at Bunnies - under Lang - which earns him a 500K payday from Eels. In 2015 he's once again that player - under Arthur. What happened in between those 2 periods?.....He was coached by Sticky and sent to Wentworthville. Flanno spent over a...
