    NSW Origin side 2010

    Being an eels supporter I'm going to be bias here and say Hayne deserves a shot at fullback before Dugan. I think he has earned the right to play in his preferred position on the basis of last years origin performance. I also think that playing on the wing for Australia is actually harming his...

    Market Value of our NRL stars

    Timana Tahu- $350,000 Nathan Hindmarsh- $350,000 Fuifui Moimoi- $375,000 I would have to say these numbers are way off what's actually being paid (except for maybe the storm if you don't count outside payments). I say that since Hindmarsh's contract was downgraded to allow other guys to...

    The NRL has effectively killed its future as a genuine national brand

    You're killing this section of the forum by posting outside the main thread. Typical storm supporter. :lol:

    Storm salary cap scandal thread

    The bulldogs would have had a more dominate decade if they cheated for as long as you guys did numbnuts (SBW, Mason, Anasta and Thurston) and I don't support the dogs either. Not to mention a lot of home grown talent left their respective clubs during this period because of the cap. I feel more...

    Storm salary cap scandal thread

    It's debatable whether you would've even made the finals without Brett Finch. The storm were flat before he arrived (from Parra) so that's measurable advantage right there. Then you would have to take into account the players Parra shed too Mark Riddell, Tony Williams, Chad Robinson and Daniel...

    Hayne, needs to watch a tape of billy slater

    I don't think Hayne can be both a support playing type of fullback while also being the main playmaker since he would take himself out of position simply by trailing forwards. Early in the set he does loiter behind the play in case there's a break. I agree on kick returns he doesn't link up...

    My NRL Grand Final proposal

    I'm convinced storm fans consist mainly of genetic rejects. I come to this conclusion as they consistently make the most unintelligible post in every thread. At this moment ONLY Brisbane and Sydney should be considered hosting the GF for obvious reasons. There's still a very artificial feel...

    V's Tigers Discussion

    What annoyed me is the tactics the tigers used all night to take markers out of play. Players either took steps forward off the mark or rolled off to the side so markers were no longer square (crappy rule to begin with). Their forwards weren't actually dominating until after 20min of this...

    Mortimer Out!!

    tbh I reckon the tigers would much rather be facing Burt/Mortimer than Inu/Keating. So we gained a bit in that regard.

    Not kicking the ball to Hayne is against the spirit of the game

    I think it was more to do with getting a set defensive line for the dragons and giving the forwards a rest so they can continue bashing. The tactic other coaches tried last year was to kick it into the corner and have him retrieve it with nowhere to run to tire him out. We should have used...

    The Official 2010 "Channel 9 Commentary Team Are geniuss" thread

    Obviously dragon fans can't work out what they see. Hayne was being taken into the in goal and it would've been a goal line drop out had he not tried to off-load it to grothe to give the eels a chance to retain possession. Grothe just had to dive back into the field of play or submit to the...

    broncos will be in the finals !!!!

    I wouldn't want a guy who: can't spell "probably", is obsessive compulsive that his user name reflect the year, who is notorious for his crummy predictions, his kiddy non-content threads supporting my team. It makes other supporters seem like imbeciles. Thank goodness he supports the broncos.

    Anyone else getting sick of Melbourne Storm??!!

    No, why would anyone? Although I can see why a prepubescent, easily excitable person would, and then make a thread about it to release all their pent up angst. I think Storm fans should enjoy the ride and I hope they don't desert their team when they become perennial also-runs once the...

    Trial Form

    So you predict Parra will finish 13th or below? So how about you get off these forums for an indefinite period if Parra do make the semis? That's if you actually believe your own dribble which I doubt. For example: You say the tigers V parra match was an easy one for parra even though both...

    NRLs first try scorer 2010

    Justine Poore demolishes a light weight forward pack on the way to score under the post. Too bad the match isn't going to be played at Kogarah.. :p

    Best or Most influential one match performance

    Should the 8 point power play stay?

    You're looking at about ~2min of game time lost when a goal kick is taken, this includes lining up a conversion then the kick-off. While it add moments of tension, I feel it does not constitute true "football" skills, but it is instead a very minor subset of skills that is awarded too heavily...

    All Stars Game

    I just hope Hayne's size doesn't affect his stamina. Might be an idea to have someone move into a defensive fullback position for kick returns late in a half to conserve his energy for attack, maybe inu can do this.

    Should the 8 point power play stay?

    Maybe, because there will be less time wasted on conversions kicks and fitness will be tested opening up a game more (leading to more tries) and maybe more swings. If you're being thrashed by 50 it's not like you were in the match anyway. On a kick off the first tackle may be on the 30-40m...
