Anyone see that those losers the Dargons made another spelling error on an NRLW debut today. Lol

Says Staurday on the jersey
One mistake is already atrocious.
Two - that should result in contract termination (with the jersey mob) and compensation for brand damage.

I think the old school hate needs to end.
Broncos - too hot and cold to hate.
Manly- see above
dragons- a loss is assured. You sort of want them to win so we have passion in a derby again.

Just hate Melbourne and the Bulldogs, it’s 2025.
I hate the broncos.
Have won 6 premierships and weren't under the cap for one of them.
Maybe it stems from nsw v qld as well.
Maybe it stems from being handed a leg up in every draw for years and years.
Maybe I just choose to hate them.

Can't hate Melbourne. I admire Melbourne. They are the club I want the Sharks to be.
I too like watching the Storm. They play the style I like.

Gawd I wish we had their No7 in our team. You watch Jarome Hughes as he plays and you can see he is playing three rucks ahead of the game. Smartest player running around I reckon.
 

Frenzy.

The Tigers halves pairing of Douhie and Fainu looked better than our 6 and 7.

I actually reckon the tigers have made the right call backing Fainu over Galvin.
Fainu is a wizard so far.

He has that same ability to play tempo footy that Cleary has mastered and Katoa is displaying. Such clever little jinks and swerve, and shimmies and subtle direction changes that have big defenders floundering in their big ole stuck in the ground moves.

Correct.

Next year Dogs will go bust with no Sexton and the overrated Galvin starring.

Douhi is a much better player then given credit for presently.
He is a ball runner and a hard farker to tackle. He is a 6 and does damage when he gets it 1 or 2 passes off the ruck and can get one on one with attakers outside him.
At centre he's been on the end of Galvin and leui and that erratic service can make you look poor.

I didn't see yesterday's game but last week they moved him in closer and he almost single handedly got the Tigers very close at the end.

He's way better than either of our halves. The tigers were great to watch yesterday. That halfback is electric and smashes merkins when he hits them.

How sad is it that we’re looking at the Tigera makeshift halves with envy.

What the Tigers halves do, that our don’t, is present as a ball running threat first and foremost. Both are robust, strong runners, their first few steps are nearly always forward at the defensive line, and that means defenders have to prepare to tackle them - that’s what then creates space both inside and outside.

He certainly does appear to have a fair bit of umph in his defence.

Ultimatley, our 2 halfbacks need to toughen up - they need to run the ball, and run it hard. They’ve got to become a threat ball in hand, and then play once the defenders are expecting them to run.

Nicho is not a tough dude.
That's not criticism because anyone who reaches the NRL level is a very good athlete playing one of the world's toughest sports.
However, to reach the top of said sport you need to play with no self preservation.

An example that size doesnt matter in this equation is Geoff Toovey and Sharon Woods.
One is a club legend and the other was punted from club to club.

Nicho is in the the 2nd category - however, rather than move him on we inked him in long term.
Because our coach is a newbie dumb arse.

The toughest guy/team on the day win in this sport.
Flash nancies have short term success and win nothing in the sport.
