    The 2023 Real Ladder Thread

    Thought it would be interesting to keep track of the ladder taking away bye points. Still a misleading ladder because some teams have played 13 games, some 11 and some 12, but here we go anyway. The ladder with no bye points allocated with one game to play this arvo (Knights with a great...

    Season 2023: A Write-Off?

    I don’t know what the cut-off will be for the top 8 this year, but I’m pretty certain we won’t make it. 13 games left. With every team getting 6 points in byes, maybe 30 points or thereabouts for 8th? If that’s the case we’d need to win 7 out of 13. Put down next week as a guaranteed loss and...

    NRL 2020 Finals Series - Your Predictions

    Ok, no fence sitting, your predictions for the finals series. My tips are very optimistic I admit.... WEEK 1: Penrith v Roosters - Penrith I can’t see Rorters turning that performance around in a week. Storm v Parra - Storm If we defend like we did in the first half against Penrith and play...

    Parra’s Defence 2020

    I thought this deserved its own thread. At the end of round 9 2019, we’d conceded 207 points. At the end of round 9 2020, we’ve conceded 96 points. Outstanding and hopefully it will improve further. Our right edge makes me nervous every time.

    Punching Above Our Weight - Rep Players Top 8 2019

    Out of curiosity, I looked at the top 8 and the squads named for this weekend just to see how many of the following each team had: Current Origin players (played in any of the 3 games this year) 1st Tier internationals - Aus, NZ, Eng (from 2018-2019) When you look at our squad, I think we've...

    Bounce Back - Responding to Big Losses

    Okay, I may have been a little bored this arvo and I was interested to see how we've bounced back from heavy defeats under Brad Arthur. Note, these aren't necessarily the biggest defeats by margin, but these are all the games in which we've conceded 40+ points in a game. To the right, you'll see...

    Parra Fan PTSD

    I have a problem it's time to admit to: I have Parra Fan PTSD (PFPTSD) and judging by some of the comments in this forum, I'm not the only one. So what is PFPTSD? For me, it's the inability to be confident of winning big games, no matter how well we're going; it's the feeling of impending dread...

    Hindy Always gave 100%...except for these two times.

    http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/retiring-nathan-hindmarsh-looks-on-the-plus-side/story-e6frexnr-1226458491690 IT says everything about Nathan Hindmarsh that despite finishing his final season with a wooden spoon, all he can think of is positives after 15 glorious years...

    Luke Lewis released

    I'm guessing our chances of signing him are next to zero, but personally I'd love to see him in blue and gold. Sharks are rumoured to be front runners to sign him up, meaning they may have to let a player or two go to fit him in...

    Off-Contract Players: Who Should We Target?

    I've picked a list of off contract players (full list is on the Shark's forum), focusing mainly on the areas where I think we need to recruit. It's not a full list (far from it), but any thoughts on possible targets? JWH signed with the Roosters today. HOOKERS Matt Ballin, Danny Buderus...

    Storm still think they are 2007 and 2009 Premiers

    From the Tele: THE record books might not agree, but Storm coach Craig Bellamy says the salary cap rorted premierships of 2007 and 2009 still belong to Melbourne. Bellamy, Dally M coach of the year for 2011, made the claim at last...

    Even if we get the spoon, we're not as bad as...

    Being a 'glass half-full' kind of guy (at least I try to be), as bad as we've been (and I do think we'll lose against the Titans and collect the spoon), I've been trying to look at the positives. While no one wants to 'win' the wooden spoon, at the end of the day, it's not the worst thing in...
