    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...

    2 Strange coaching changes - Penrith and Manly

    I know its very early days. However both these clubs made pretty harsh calls last year to get rid of successful coaches. Whilst Penrith have looked ok they are 0-2 and got Brisbane this week. Manly have looked a bit of a rabble. All this hype about Barrett being the next super coach...

    D.C.E - origin myth

    Dead this this bloke looks like a dear in the headlights. Even the QLDs don't look like they believe in him. There pack might have got rolled but Thurston was in their doing his best. Nothing from D.C.E. Game passed him by.

    Wooden Spoon Race

    To me there are only 2 real contenders * Wests Tigers - I would frame them $1.90 favs for it. A team with a heap of plodders, kids and a coach intent on delivering one out football. They have recently lost to Newcastle, and home losses against QLD cup Cowboys side and average Titans. *...

    Should the Dogs be docked points?

    For failing to control their players and fans?? I mean we had scenes a couple of years ago of Graham trying to chew Slater's ear off in a GF. Today he was screming and ranting and setting a really ugly example. Now we have half the team getting in the refs face, one screaming at the refs face...

    Observations from the game

    Im not a Sharks fan but I wanted them to win. The team has a fair bit of potential but they looked very poorly coached team tonight. Either poorly coached or the players threw the game plan out the window and did as they pleased. The discipline was disgraceful and this was from the senior...

    Wayne Bennett quote about Newcastle

    Along the lines of.. "I can't believe the amount of times THEY beat themselves" Ok this might be true. However I don't like coaches distancing themselves from the problems on field by referring to the playing group as THEY. Talked about players that have bad habits at Newcastle and how it...

    Over turning on field evidence?

    I was a fan initially of the new system. With refs making a call and then the men upstairs having to find clear evidence to over turn it. It seemed quite logical and well imposed initially. However their are way to many times when the video refs use the cop out of "insufficient evidence to...

    Last Storm try after fulltime??

    Clock on TV screen was clearly at 80.00 when the last tackle was made. Siren doesn't sound for a few seconds after this. Can hypothetically a time keeper delay the siren for a couple of seconds in such a situation. Strom were right on the attack and it could potentially allow them one more...

    Farah's silence deafening

    n regards to Sheens future?? Anyone think so?? I think Farah's silence speak volumes about what he thinks might be required. Looks like the usual story of Sheens going underground and comfortably surviving another "review". We have all heard Benji is his boring, repetitive rubbish about Sheens...
