    Around the Grounds

    The Warriors are so far in a not too dissimilar spot from us (apart from their best player getting a long injury layoff). Great year last year with a lot of expectations, but some of their players regressing back to the players they were before the purple patch last year.

    Jackson Topine sues Bulldogs

    'Psychiatric injury, deprivation of liberty, humiliation' Sounds like supporting the Knights with Ponga injured.

    Match Discussion: Round 8 vs Dolphins @ Suncorp Stadium, Milton / Yuggera-Turrbal

    Maybe I'm imagining things but I feel like Brodie Jones has looked ok this year. I don't mind him getting another go, but I would have been happy for DSaf to give way for Croker even though it's a size downgrade.

    Sack Adam O'Brien

    That's the other big issue which we highlighted before the season. Every other team seems to have 1 or 2 guys who's only role is basically to just be big (think Paseka from the Eagles). Our closest to that is probably Hetherington? And this isn't really about the Safs either (although it...

    Ref and Bunker Decisions

    I do think the Bunker system has been worse this year compared to last. I can't put my finger on a specific reason but we appear to be entering territory, especially with the challenge system, where one person's interpretation can differ a lot from anothers for things like disruptors, strips and...

    Sack Adam O'Brien

    I know this thread is about O'Brien but I was thinking yesterday how much Pearce leaving set us back. With him and Ponga we made the 8 twice and the rest of the team/coaching wasn't even that good. Even a Fogarty/Trindall level half would do wonders for this current team.

    Ponga Appreciation Thread.

    I feel really sorry for Kalyn getting another long term injury after he turned down things like playing for Australia and the All-Stars in order to focus on us. Here's hoping he can come back the same player and the club now focuses most of its energies on putting a better roster around him in...

    Not saying you'll be wrong, but you're a week early lol. Dolphins first.

    Match Discussion: Round 7 vs Canterbury @ Accor Stadium, Sydney Olympic Park / Wanngal

    I mean in all seriousness you can't do what Jack did in the tunnel. But I'm also over players like Mahoney thinking they can say whatever they want without any repercussions. They just showed Mahoney in the dressing rooms afterwards and he was shitting himself, because he expects to just say...

    2024 R7 Sun - Canterbury 36-12 Newcastle @ Accor

    Either biased or incredibly dense saying that should be a suspension for the season. I'll let you decide which.

    Meh good on him. Mahoney obviously never shuts up and deserves one on his chin.

    2024 R7 Sun - Canterbury 36-12 Newcastle @ Accor

    Lol there is very little in that. Reed is well overdue to have one put on his chin. Jack should have just done it on the field.

    They get the last laugh today but Mahoney and Salmon are dopes.

    I echo the comment about the refereeing, it's been atrocious. Kikau threw that 2 metres forward.

    Match Discussion: Round 7 vs Canterbury @ Accor Stadium, Sydney Olympic Park / Wanngal

    That's ridiculous. Ponga soldiering on last week was great but it's now a liability.

    Looking at KP limping out, perhaps the better move would have been to punt on this game and make sure he was ok for next week.

    Interesting Warren Smith clearly confused by our kicking. He sees it, we all see it, I don't know how the team/coach doesn't.

    Match Discussion: Round 7 vs Canterbury @ Accor Stadium, Sydney Olympic Park / Wanngal

    Good from Lucas there. I'd take 12-6 at halftime given how bad most of that was. I guess Ponga isn't fully fit? He's barely touching the ball.
