    Why are we so accepting of NRL corruption

    Deliberately inflammatory title and I apologise. But seriously- we are the biggest victims of bias and nationalism-if-not-racism-if-not-cheating in the comp Have been since 1995 And yet, we complain less than any other team forum. Other teams actually complain about getting the rough end...

    Martinez v Chavez Jnr

    I almost crapped my pants in that last round. Chavez Jnr is pretty shit, but his ability to make weight and then rehydrate 20+ pounds is amazing.

    Konrad Hurrell

    I thought we all deserved a nice feel-good thread. This guy is all we hoped for and more. He's the present as well as the future. I really like how he confounds expectations to some degree by being, imho, a fairly competent defender as well as being able to set-up his winger, having good...

    Maloney/Johnson- a theory

    Had a few beers and in the mood to talk internet nonsense as per usual. Just a thought- I know everyone loves Jimmy Baloney and thinks the sweat that drips from his nutsack is sweet nectar, but- is his increasing profile and status as an Origin prospect hurting us somewhat? Every halves...

    What's up with the Fish?

    I've seen more than enough evidence to know that the Fish is probably the fastest man in rugby league. So why does he look so sluggish in first-grade? I can understand if his positioning isn't the best, but so many times today (and also last year in that awful performance against the Cowboys...

    Dale Husband

    Probably not a popular opinion but I honestly somehow like him LESS than Costigan or McIvor. Between him and Halligan the commentary is more surreal than Twin Peaks. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to anything Husband says or when he says it- he'll raise his voice for no reason, talk...

    Ben Matulino

    So good. Our #1 prop. When does he ever get outplayed?

    Manu- again

    I think I made the same thread when he returned from injury last year...by the end of the season he seemed pretty much back to full health...but I ask again.. Is Manu permanently poked, or only temporarily? He has had almost every leg injury a man could possibly have and so far on his...

    Mateo in the All Stars team

    Good on him but....can anyone tell me why Manu isn't there? Is he still unavailable?

    Mildly interesting- NRL more popular than ITM Cup in Auckland

    http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=10675282 While more New Zealanders are interested in the ITM Cup than in the NRL or A-League, a new poll released by UMR Research shows big regional variations. The poll asked New Zealanders to choose whether they were most...

    Fisiiahi and Johnson

    Just wondering what people think about the future of these two. Johnson will be 20, turning 21 next year. Last year he was touted as a gun, now it seems there's agreement he needs more time, especially to work on his defence and general physicality. However, in today's game not many hot...

    GAGF Chris Heighington

    With 20 seconds to go, your feed to a scrum, what sort of spastic forgets to pick the ball up :crazy: The Tigers should've been at least 30 up by the time the Roosters made their little come back anyway. I guess it just wasn't to be.

    Massive video ref WTF

    I notice there's a thread on the Thaiday try (absolutely correct call) and yet no thread on the two ludicrous NSW tries awarded. I guess that's a NSW biased forum for you. Am I the only person who thought that (a) both the Creagh and Watmough "TRY" decisions were completely preposterous as both...

    What a styley guy!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JmSG8Mpsa4 I thought this might just be Warriors forum material but I think all league fans deserve to see it. Some of the absolute worst acting of all time. No matter how many times I watch it I can't stop laughing.

    Maloney/Moon/Hohaia/McKinnon

    Maybe this isn't thread worthy and people have touched on it in other threads, but this really pissed me off on Sunday and I feel compelled to rant about it. After 8 f*cking years (including time playing with him AND coaching him) how can Cleary not have worked out that Hohaia stinks in the...

    Hohaia and Henderson

    Both are sh*t hookers Henderson in particular is a Sharman Cup backrower masquerading as an NRL hooker Hooker is one of the most important positions on the field Discuss

    3-2-1 v Storm

    3. Hohaia- one bad error, but sh*t, he was everywhere. His ball carrying is uncanny and it sets up opportunities for his outside men as well. Is McKinnon actually a better fullback now? 2. Vatuvei- ok, so he dropped the ball twice (the second was stripped though), and got beaten by a kick that...

    The Ropati try

    May as well have a thread on it The funny thing is, both the NZ commentary team and the Australian commentary team seemed to think it was a fair try There seems universal acceptance here though that it wasn't Thoughts?
