Ok dopey, so what would be really good than is for every game to be a draw so everyone wins and no one loses. You f**kers lose me.

League is the game, the religion is the club you support.

You're a f**king idiot

 

[Paullyboy]

I didn't ask you a question.

I couldn't care less about the Raiders performance in this sideshow. A few young blokes got a run, good for them.

I love the raiders, yet even I can agree that fitter is better than most of the blokes we sent to this comp.

Milford better be Injured, if that clown isn't playing because he is being rested I'll be very annoyed. We should be overplaying him as much as possible so that he's shattered by the time the dodgy broncos get him. I wish he was playing prop for us.

Crowd is off to a slow start. Johns standing there with the trophy looking like a tool.

even without the trophy idiot johns looks like a tool

Do you think Freddy will get to play in the Olympics?

Not at all but I hope I don't have to explain the premise of marketing to you because you seem to be a little slow catching on here. Freddy was used to get some exposure for the tournament, create some excitement and attract an older demographic. Freddy isn't the future of the Nine's, no one's claiming he is but he sure did a fine job helping start it up.

Ignoring the fact that he was a marketing tool he far from embarrassed himself and showed the comp full respect by training in the off-season for the tournament.

It's beyond laughable that you're having a crack at a bloke who provided all that for a $1 contract.

If you back your coaches decision to show no interest in the tournament because you think the NRL Comp deserves 100% attention then fair enough, at least there's some logic behind that stand point. Atm you're just dribbling crap.

So you and the titans supporter above are rugby league supporters, not true club supporters (previously, known as tribalism).

Each to their own, not me. I couldn't give a shit about other clubs, only my own - every game, every year.

I'm a fan of the game first and foremost. People like you just support whatever sport their parents happened to show them. If the storm died off tomorrow i'd still keep on watching the game and continue to enjoy it.

I don't see the problem anyway. I still want my team to win over the others but i like to see good football as well (although i enjoy a good lol@souffs).

If you were a tent preacher with that sermon, although I hate all religion, I'd probably pull up a stool and shout hallelujah, right up til the lol@souffs bit when I would again walk away muttering f**kwit

Lachlan Coote suspected torn ACL, man that's horrible for him and the Cowboys, he was going to be such a key player for them.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Jesus, you would think he would be considering calling it a day.

 

[beave]

Confirmed ACL rupture for Lachlan Coote.


Sigh.

Does anyone know if the tournament has radio coverage ?

 

[BranVan3000]

I've loved the tournament so far. But to me it's clear that the rules are still imbalanced. They need to change how possession works. If a team scores try, they then turn over the ball. The game isn't long enough to make it a battle of possession and attrition. It needs to be quick and exciting while trying to get both teams an equal amount of chances

Maybe Triple M? They usually cover footy on radio when Fox have the T.V rights.

Feel for Lachlan Coote. Injuries stopped his development as a fullback at Penrith, and changed his future to be in the halves with us. Injury then prevented him making a go of it in the halves. In the end it was in the best interest of himself and the club that he looked elsewhere for a fresh start.

He goes to the Cowboys where he gets first crack at fullback, he looked very fit and powerful with a bit more pace then he had at Penrith in the few minutes before leaving the field injured at the 9's. I think he could have done very well in the Cowboys spine, and possibly been the buy of the year.

Now his first grade career could be over. He will fall down the pecking order at the Cowboys while injured, just as he did at Penrith. Unless his replacement doesn't fire, or Coote is able to make it back before hte end of the season and put his name back in the mix for 2015.

The scoring team kicks off, so I'm not sure what your problem is.

They need to speed up conversions though. Make the try scoreer take the shot and they only have 15 seconds otherwise the refs call it a miss

The team scoring already kicks off and loses possession , what other changes would u make ? . Trys from dummy half are boring so id change that unless you run from 10 out or something like that.

Is it? Thought it was the same as NRL, but then I only got to watch it on and off yesterday.

Not sure what I'd change then, but it felt like a few games I watched where one team held the ball the whole game

 

[Parra]

Anything that boosts Sandow's confidence at the start of the season is a good thing.

 

[ek999]

He just needs to have a good run on the pokies then...

 

[ryana87]

What happens if a player gets put on report...... Are they allowed to play the afternoon games and then face the judiciary tommorow

 

[cleary89]

thousands of fans that "paid $200 a ticket" pissed off home once that Warriors played their second game ffs

Thwy closed all the bars selling $8 midstrength beers. So everyone went out.
