    2025 R21 Sun - Canberra v Newcastle @ GIO

    Yeah maybe Matty Nich has some of that agility- it's the balance to stay in good position and zip away under contact too instead of just getting stopped or knocked over. I'd say Savage and Weekes about even- I don't see many signs of Xav slowing down, he just rarely gets a chance to go through...

    Mooney is biding his time until Papa retires. If Papa goes around again he might look elsewhere. Good player but just been jumped by Mariota and it's a stacked middle. We've had very few injuries or suspensions so in a normal year he may have played a half dozen Fg games already this season...

    2025 R21 Sun - Canberra v Newcastle @ GIO

    For a lot of the season, that's how we did it. So yes you're right, that idea of Papa leading the bench unit has a lot of value. Another way we have done it is start both but run Taps longer & juggle the rotation so there's only a 7-10 min period without either or both on. Recently we've cut...

    2025 R21 Sun - Canberra v Newcastle @ GIO

    I'm sure Adam O'Brian, leader of men, will have the Knights hardened and primed to rise from the Ashes of absurd defeat and outrageous fortune... Look Raiders should put this team away handily. I guess sometimes it's the punches you don't see coming which do the damage but who is throwing it...

    Irrelevant stat. What's the average Manly crowd when Galvin is playing?

    He could go one more for sure. It'd be a question of what the club has in the cap to offer- they've been upgrading and extending all the young guns.

    Opinion Is Ricky Stuart the most overrated coach ever?

    If we are talking seriously about whether Bennet is over rated- probably not. He won a ton of things. He's won at different clubs in different decades. He's built part of the early Raiders success ('87 run) from bare bones and also enjoyed the luxuries of endless resources at other times. I...

    But you guys just throw out any fact or stat you don't like... Yeah I carefully curated an account for years and a thousand posts just so I could finally launch a secret AFL troll mission. I can't believe you saw through it! Truly a dizzying intellect. Anyway you're getting a little bit worked...

    Questacon broadened his understanding of physics to the extent he now just bends the laws of the universe to his will.

    I'm sure NRL's are too. But what I see over years in schools and other teachers I speak to shows AFL much bigger presence than it used to be, so I don't doubt the trend.

    AFL grew 9% in QLD participation rates last year. And AFL has been growing at 10-12% in the ACT too. I'm glad Norths Bears are doing well again, but it's 33% more players for them because now with a viable club in the area locals can play for them, not 33% new players to the code or in the...

    Dunno, it's feasible Pamfers lose 3 of your last 4 and it's pretty tight for 8th. That tie will either make or break your season.

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    Dunno mate, I have mates who live on the GC and their kids play and follow AFL now simply because AFL does a way better job of getting into schools, giving out free gear, free clinic programs etc. League sits on it's hands. It's the same in Canberra. AFL playing numbers are growing and league...

    2025 R20 Sat - Canberra 40-16 Parramatta @ GIO

    I had a look at the Knights squad the year before Hosking left... 2021... fair enough the starting edges were very good, Frizzel, Barnett, Fitzgibbon at that stage... but down the list the last development spot which Hosking missed out on and left was given to Jack Johns...

    That would be the one reservation compared to Storm or Pamfers and so on. The average age of our backline aside from Fog is pretty young. Timoko has played several Tests but that's about it. The forwards have plenty though- Tapine NZ captain, Papa oodles of experience, Young in Origins, even...

    2025 R20 Sat - Canberra 40-16 Parramatta @ GIO

    I actually think her method to note that the ball only bounced 10cm past the line even after bouncing off at that angle was pretty reasonable -in this particular case given not many good angles. There was no way that ball passed the 20m on the field at that angle if it landed there. I guess you...

    Oozing bitterness from every pore. Chin up mate, you might still make the 8.
