    The “Unpopular Opinion” Thread

    I’ve been wanting to make this thread for a while now, and saw the phrase used a couple of times since today’s loss to Parra. Post your unpopular opinions, or gives others feedback on theirs. I’ll start: 1. Best is severely overrated. Having taken 3000 hit ups on the 2nd tackle this year...

    Kalyn Ponga Sweeps

    To date, all talk of Ponga has been overwhelmingly positive. Fans from teams across the NRL appreciate his talent and seem genuinely excited to watch him play each week. The media can’t get enough of the kid, with even NSWelshmen calling for his selection in origin. If he played for Melbourne...

    Mason Charged With Drink Driving

    http://www.theherald.com.au/story/2047961/willie-mason-charged-with-drink-driving/?cs=303 That'll just about do me. Gagai in the papers yesterday for the wrong reasons, and now Mason in today after blowing low-range.

    Signing Bonus

    As a side thought to the thread currently running on whether or not player salaries should be made public, is there any rule or regulation in the NRL that prevents player managers from receiving a "signing bonus" when they re-sign a player or bring a player to a new club? As an example...

    Is this a good investment?

    Was just down at my local Indian take-away joint and noticed this in the carpark. This must be a much better investment than say for instance the following two number plates? You could see those Souths plates on a car in 40 years time and they'd still be accurate. Money well invested in...

    Kirk's axing risks his contract

    http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,22247795-23214,00.html Quite an unusual move for Smith to take a selection matter to the board level. But then again, I'm a bit confused as to what actually happened. Did Smith inform Burraston of his decision to drop Reynoldson, and Burraston then...

    Is Kenny serious?

    http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,21986403-23214,00.html Does Kenny seriously believe that an ex-player should be expected to stick to the code after their retirement or risk being stricken from the books?

    Polglase Injuried- missing 2 games

    I'm surprised none of the Polglase haters picked up on this earlier:sarcasm:. Polglase tore his hamstring at training and will most likely miss the next two games to recover. It isn't the best time of the year for the injury to happen, but it will be good for some of the PL wingers get a run...

    Oh sh*t!! Braith offers to mentor Mullen

    http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,21725006-23214,00.html Is it too late for Mullen to come up with an injury to rule him out of Origin??? :crazy: It has been a long time since Newcastle was so well represented at Origin time. If these four players are selected it will certainly add to...

    Our forwards aren't making an impact in offence

    I seem to touch on this every week, and also a bit last year, but tonight really highlighted how poor the performance of some of our forwards are. 8. Perry- 11 runs; 92m; 27 tackles. ✔ 10. Newton- 10 runs; 94m; 21 tackles ✔ 11. Simpson- 9 runs; 59m; 26 tackles ✘ 16...

    Same sh*t, different smell?

    I'm interested to hear people's opinions on the Smith/Hagan coach swap, and how they perceive it to be going so far. Since the announcement early last year that Newcastle had signed Smith as coach, there has been a lot of talk about what he would bring to the club. Most of this talk centred...

    Fast track or fall back? The Halves dillema

    So, Joey has retired. We are without a halfback and need to look for a mid season replacement. Who do we look at? Do we look at salvaging what we can for the remainder of the season, or do we look to fast track some of our promising younger guys through, even if they aren't necessarily the...

    The Official Joey Johns Neck Thread

    With the announcement of Johns' future in rugby league set to be laid to rest shortly at 1pm, I thought I'd start a dedicated thread where for the next 20 or so minutes we can speculate about his future, and then once the announcement has been made we can either disagree/agree with his decision...

    Does Smith have a revolutionary plan?

    I think he does! Hear me out: There are no 2 byes this season, and players will be playing longer stretches of football without getting a week off. The pace and intensity of the game is increasing every year. Some of our key players are getting a bit long in the tooth. Smith has said that the...

    Tolar is completely and utterly...

    re-signed until 2009!!! :lol::lol: Surprised no one heard it on NBN news and posted the details yet! Looks like Smith has been more than impressed with his offerings so far and was very keen to sign him up. Remember, he has been signed ahead of bigger name guys like Perry and co.
