Hate lol.Cool. You get to hate the team live. Good for you.
How would you know how many games I get to?
You love AOB as much as you loved Tew

the coach box image of AOB looking like a roo in the headlights with a calm leader ( McDermott ) directly behind him was a stand outA better coach and we win that game
I'd take Dave Elliott.*The assistant coach Brian McDermott
*Madge
( my previous first choice Flannagan now has the saints going well)
The emotion of the year being over combined with the conviction one has when the calls were so obviously and blatently dubious. Glad he let rip but it won't change a thing so it's pointless.AOB gets a bit fired up in the presser, specifically about the Crossland binning and field goal penalties. Can't remember seeing him react like that before, generally very reserved and cliched.

Meh at half time I watched the Crossland bin again and I thought it was fair enough. Crossland was pinged 20 seconds earlier for the exact same thing, on almost the exact same blade of grass. If it was for repeated offences as a team it would have been a joke. But it was literally the same player taking the piss.AOB gets a bit fired up in the presser, specifically about the Crossland binning and field goal penalties.

I'm a bit half half on the Crossland binning... and i'd need the facts cleared up a bit first. AOB said in the presser that it was the 3rd infraction by us in the entire game to that point. If that's the case, and Phoenix got a warning on what was essentially our second infraction of the half - well i'd argue he should have just been pinged for 6 again in the first place and not warned... because the ref has backed himself into a corner where he kinda has to bin a bloke after warning him, but it's literally only the 3rd one at the end of a whole half of football.And was warned by the ref. Absolutely had the bin coming.
Sutton being more interested in blockers than keeping the defence onside was very ordinary.
how do you know? I'd say he is wanting a head coaching role.McDermott isn’t here for the long haul.
he wasnt terrible - the Tigers management was. Knights management is woeful but not Tigers woeful ( it is why I do give some slack to AOB - our management sucks )Madge was terrible at the Tigers, and won an Origin series with the calibre of a team we will never have.
How so? Any worse than 2 contract, boat in the shed, serial cap cheating Bellamy ?Flanagan is a systematic cheat. I’d rather be mediocre than cheat our way to a premiership.

Yeah I don’t know why he kept going on about the sin bin. To me it was pretty clear and we were better while Crossland was off the field.Old AOB missing the point, cynical professional foul. It's like holding down after a line break, irrelevant how many infractions there have been.
Willie PetersYeah I don’t know why he kept going on about the sin bin. To me it was pretty clear and we were better while Crossland was off the field.
edit - probably trying to deflect attention off the fact that our seasons done and questions are warranted regarding how he’s taken our attack from first to last in one season with his tactics and all of the spine changes. I really wish the journos asked questions about that instead.
Nah, the home semi vs Canberra just last year.Was our last GP win that round 1 game against Manly back in 2018? It feels like a lifetime ago since we've won in golden point
I think the sinbin was fair in hindsight but I also find it very hard to believe one of the big clubs would have someone binned for it.I'm a bit half half on the Crossland binning... and i'd need the facts cleared up a bit first.

Long story short, I'd like to know how many infractions there were prior and leading into it. It feels like Sutton didn't want to give a "pointless" 6 again with little time on the clock, but then had to double down after "letting Phoenix off light" the first time. All in all it felt like a blunder to me in the moment, but we managed the period when Phoenix was off fantastically anyway so it's largely a moot point. The far more egregious offence was definitely the offside at the field goal attempt.
