    Taking the 2 late down 8

    We had 2 games today where a team was trailing by 8 and refused a relatively easy penalty goal in both instances with 3-4 minutes left. Interested to hear others thoughts on this, as a Knights fan I was happy the Storm didn't immediately reduce the deficit to 6 with us kicking off to them again...

    Take Out The Middle Origin-Affected Rounds....

    ....and the Warriors are comfortably the worst team over the last 5 years. We've all suspected for a while now that certain teams are advantaged and disadvantaged through Origin, but even then after I ran the numbers I was stunned at how much the Warriors have benefitted from the middle 8 weeks...

    Simple Solution For 'Deliberate' Penalties

    Spoilers for the ongoing Cowboys-Sharks game I guess: Just now we had the Cowboys give away a string of penalties defending their own line. Deliberate or not the penalties certainly don't affect them too much, especially if they give them away early in the tackle count. Then we have a...

    Charge-downs off a field goal attempt

    Should it be 6 again? I kinda feel like if the defending team is good enough to effect the charge down they should be rewarded. Cowboys getting endless cracks at a field goal before finally knocking one over seemed a bit stupid to me.

    South Africa in New Zealand ODI Series

    We got 230 all out after 45 overs. Batted pretty crap and it was only a record 10th wicket partnership between Ronchi and Boult that gave us some respectability. Ronchi got out for 99 the poor bloke.

    Website/Domain Names

    Hey guys, looking for some advice on domain names and purchasing them etc. I've read a couple of articles on the subject but just some straight up advice would be good. Is it best to just use one of those website hosting companies and you pay them like $20 a year or whatever? If those companies...

    Beau Scott

    This guy has to be one of the front-runners for second-rower of the year. He has been going that good. Brilliant for us all year even when the rest of the team was going crap, then went into Origin and was one of NSW's best in a series winning team. I wouldn't be fussed if someone like Boyd...

    Rep Players

    Boyd for Australia. McManus, Mullen, Roberts and Scott (also captain) for country. Congrats to all. Roberts probably a bit lucky given his form I think but they often give these jerseys to promising young players sometimes regardless of form. I don't know what the deal is with Leilua not...

    Anyone who hears any news, put it here. Pretty worried for the kid.

    4th ODI: New Zealand vs India at Hamilton Jan 28, 2014

    India won the toss and batting first for once. Dhawan dropped, Kohli opening, Binny in. We've rested McClenaghan and Anderson which I find a bit bizarre especially in the case of Anderson.

    2nd ODI: New Zealand vs India at Hamilton Jan 22, 2014

    NZ batting first again. Started well, 114/1 after 21 overs. Williamson and Guptill both approaching their fifities. EDIT: Guptill just gone for 44 as I hit submit.

    1st ODI: New Zealand vs India at Napier Jan 19, 2014

    We're batting first, probably need 300 minimum I would think. 18/0 after 3 overs.

    The thing I don't understand about SBW in 2014....

    We all know he's tossing up between staying at the Roosters for another year and returning to NZ. And let's assume that he's obviously taking up a decent chunk of the Roosters salary cap. So, for argument's sake let's say he's on 700k. I'm not interested in debating whether that figure is...

    Mid-Season Player Ratings

    Seeing as we're 13 games in I thought I'd give my thoughts on each player so far and give them a rating out of 10: Boyd - Mostly a very good start to the season but can still go missing at times - 7. Buderus - Hasn't really had a chance to impress - 4.5. Clydsdale - Has looked sharp in his...

    The Video Referee System is a Blight on the Game

    Spoilers from tonight's games if anyone hasn't seen them yet: I don't know how anyone can defend the way the game is being video refereed after the display we've seen last round and now tonight. It's turned into a guessing game both from the on-field referee and then the men upstairs and...

    How important is it to have a utility on the bench?

    Everyone naming their teams in the NSW team thread got me thinking about the position of utility/hooker on an Origin bench. How important is it? A lot of teams that are being named have 4 forwards and most of these benches look very good but if for example Farah (or in Queensland's case Smith)...

    Dave Taylor

    Surely he deserves a thread of his own for that attempted grounding of the ball :lol:. One of the stupidest things I have ever seen. And before everyone gets up in arms about it not being a try anyway, Taylor wouldn't have known that so the hilarity still stands.

    New Hoodies

    This probably doesn't deserve a whole new thread, but don't know where else to put it. We've just released a new range of hoodies and I reckon they look awesome! No point in me describing them, just go and have a look at them on the online store. I think I might have to get the grey AND the...

    Gidley's Shoulder

    Kurt just tweeted that he's definitely not out for the year, but they're still waiting for the results of the scan to know how many weeks. He said they are hoping for around 4. Good news.
