    2017 Auckland Nines

    The Nines is good to watch players playing without the shackles of game plans and structures and block plays and channels. The NRL can really suck the life out of some players skills sets. I think it has a place in the Rugby League Calander although i can totally understand teams not risking...

    Halves Combination Rating from 16th to 1st in 2017??

    Hi all, Who do you think are the Top 8 halves pairings in the games from 8 to 1 in terms of who you'd have for 2017 if possible?? Try and forget the Halves combination forwards packs and roasters and coaches around them and judge them purely on who you would want if you want to win a...

    Coaching Pressure Index

    Delboy true maybe my assumption of Parramatta has been what happened in the past. I just wonder however if there are any more skeletons in the closet and how it could affect their roster. Last year would have good BA under a lot to strain. He could always walk away and get a gig elsewhere , I...

    Coaching Pressure Index

    Hasler is under a lot more pressure then Brown I reckon. Newcastle know they have a poor roster and I think they will give Brown plenty of time to turn things around. Hasler needs to deliver semis for the Dogs and a win in a final at least or I think he could be out the door. The Dogs...

    Coaching Pressure Index

    FEET UP AT THE DESK 14. Paul Green (North Queensland Cowboys) - Green has done a great job in his three years up North. While plenty of the credit goes to Johnathan Thurston, Green has seen the emergence of some young talent and developed a style of play that can at last be attractive and...

    MODERATE PRESSURE 7. Wayne Bennett (Broncos) - People might raise their eyebrows at this one. You could make a case that Wayne Bennett is under no pressure at Brisbane, based on his record at the Club. How could a man who has delivered several Premierships to Red Hill and never missed a...

    Taylor as a coach

    I was very, very harsh on Sheens, particularly regarding his constant selection shuffling. However when we were fit and firing he was a great coach. When we made the Semis I thought he had great game plans and balanced football. He could also influence refs And in hindsight one thing he...

    The Wit and Wisdom of Jason Taylor

    This site is way different to the official WT forum. There i would say its a 50/50 Split. Some will defend everything Taylor does. Which is fine its their opinion. Here Its hard to find a nailed on Taylor fan. Interesting the contrast.

    Taylor as a coach

    Appreciate the wrap Vic thanks mate. Yeah this site used to be all time during the Sheens years. Nothing was off limits. Has kind of died off. Must admit I have not posted here much lately.There were some real characters on here.

    Taylor as a coach

    I dont really go with the argument Taylor wasn't missing tackles or dropping balls. Of course he was not, not but his team were. No doubting he would be frustrated and some lf these mistakes are purely individuals switching off. Brutally though in this industry,The side you coach, your...

    Taylor as a coach

    Mate go on the official site and he has his band of foot soliders clearing him of any blame. They will blame Oneiil or Farah or the refs. Anything to absolve Taylor I got howled because they think I hate the bloke. I dont hate him im just not a big fan of his record of 14 wins from 39...

    Simple Solution For 'Deliberate' Penalties

    Real left field idea here?? How about for say the 3rd penalty in a set of six, or for a 3rd penalty inside the 20 the offender goes off for that set of 6. Like a power play in ice Hockey, however it is 13 v12 for just that set of 6. Teams would stop the deliberate penalties quick smart...

    Hello darkness my old friend.....

    I said at the start of the year that Barrett would flop at Manly. He is like Nathan Buckley. A good player that never won a comp, because something was missing. I dont think Barrett is a leader. He looked rattled in the press conference and this is only his 1st year. Looked like he...

    Eels release Kieran Foran

    To be honest he looks like he needs another 3 months off. tried hard but very ineffective. Hate to say it but this could be another Sandow.

    The Bunker

    I thought it was fair enough based on the on field ruling. You could not say conclusively both feet were behind the kicker. The gut feeling was a try however based on the needing to find enough evidence to over turn it was a fair decision.

    Opinion Is Ricky Stuart the most overrated coach ever?

    I like seeing Ricky get beat as much as the best bloke however they are still on 5 points after 4 rounds without their halves. Its a pretty decent effort. They do some brain dead stuff but once they get their troops on the paddock I reckon they make the 8 pretty comfortably.
