Other NRL Games

[Drag Queen]

I am still absolutley honking over that kasiano hit, it was targeted, late and deliberate. I think what winds me up even more is that dog merkin has been doing shit like that for years and it only gets attention because it was JT on the other end.
Its a pretty average thing to say but that grub is one of the few pricks I wouldn't be upset to see put in a wheelchair

Maybe not a wheelchair mate, but surely some ramification.

 

[Frank Facer]

Not sure if you are familiar with supercoach but they scored Thurston 16 points last night. That is woeful.
Cam Smith who had a good game on the other hand they gave him 108 points.
JT had a shocker, an absolute shocker.

I have got Thurston in my supercoach team. He started the season at around $545 000. I thought he was a bargain. He was always one of the first players I chose, when picking my team at the start of the season, but this year, he is having a shocker and was down to $450K before last night's game, he will be in for another massive price drop after last night's game. I was hoping that he will come good, but it doesn't look like he will. The writing was on the wall last year, in Supercoach.

 

[Dragons 09]

Really? It was a dog attack. Turn yourself away without the ball, with all and sundry to see, and you call that an error. No bloody way. What I don't understand is why he wasn't punted from the field immediately. Even Bellyache agreed on this one.

Yes, really! We're all entitled to our opinions DQ.
Substitute Kasiano for Sims and Thurston for Cam Smith and i'm sure a lot more people on here would agree with me. Emotion can be blinding at times!

Agree Coppo_ForeverYOUNG , the bloke is a dog - still . On the Occassion he and Pritchard attempted to remove Gareth Widdop's head from his body in the 2015 semi final , what did the Judicary do ?

They gave the grub a letter of caution - can you believe it , a bluudy letter of caution . Unless they , the judiciary hands him a more severe penalty such as 3 to 4 weeks , then there will be a good chance that he will do the same again , whether by using his own initiative or that of somebody (?) else 's .

 

[Crush]

Hey where is Mitch Rein? He's never going to stake his claim for origin if he isn't on the field!
I'm gobsmacked that Peats gets selected before Rein!
Rein surely is in the mix for origin!

A letter of caution. lol

It reminded me of the occasion that Meninga smashed O'Conner in back play in a State Of Origin game. The ARL didn't suspend Meninga, instead they told him to write a letter of apology to O'Conner. WTF.

The Gold Coast coach must be a bigot. lol

Yep thats something I probably won't ever let go, I always hated the dog but that was the absolute clincher.
I'm all for not softening the game up but there's no place anywhere for shit like that. Piss poor

What really irked me about that particular incident ( more like backlane thuggery ? ) was that Widdop had climbed out of a hospital bed that same day and played with a heavily strapped leg . The poor sod was lying on the ground with his back to those apes , completely and utterly defenceless .

They knew exactly what they were doing when they pummelled the man , to ensure that he could no longer direct the Dragon attack . Even after 3 long years I have not forgotten what they done and perhaps more so the utter contempt shown by the judicary - berstards !

 

[hewi]

I don’t know about anyone else but gee manly and the cowgirls impressed me last night. A great game and I have to say on the last few weeks form from the dragons we would be beaten by both teams.

 

[Crush]

Geez Souths look good! Just going straight through the middle with inside passes and offloads. They run great angles.
They look the strongest team in the comp IMO.
Dragons need to get back to playing through the middle and stop these set backline plays where defense can just slide.
Big meters through the middle and late offloads are key.

 

[hewi]

The Bunnies are the standard to be measured against. Very impressed.

 

[Gareth67]

The Sharks have a few too many ageing bodies in their forward pack , some far too long in the tooth . Souths have looked good for quite some time now - what is the name of their coach ? The chap is doing ever so well in his first year with them .

 

[st shaneoh]

The Bunnies are the standard to be measured against. Very impressed.

I like the young winger Campbell Graham. Wish we had a young winger as good as him. Oh wait, we have a guy called Zac Lomax that our Muppet coach won't use

 

[blacksafake]

Whoever beats the bunnies will just about win the comp. Big mobile pack,speed, dynamic hooker, Sutton in career best form & Reynolds getting fitter & finding his mojo again.

 

[Coffs dragon]

Plus a coach whom is a thinker and not afraid to give young blokes a crack.

[Dragonslayer]

And all this from a "Rookie" coach!

Now replace McGregor with a "rookie"? most on here would vomit violently at the thought. However, the term rookie is only applies to the background, training and personal development of that person.
Brown, Price and McGregor did not have the proper background, training or development to be appointed as a first grade coach. More of an Aldi fix than anything, cheap and bled red and white.
Every coach has been a rookie at some point including Bennett and Bellamy.
Yes, rookies fail, there has been plenty in all facets of sport. But many go on to become greats, because they have the background, training and development. Sir Alex Ferguson, the great MU manager, could only get his team to 11th place twice in his first 3 years in charge, but has gone on to be regarded as one of the greatest soccer manages ever.
McGregor on the other hand is in his 5th year with 1 finals appearance (by good luck than good management). Holds the dubious honour of achieving unwanted records for our club. Yet he is regarded as a "career coach", based on what exactly?
As far as us appointing another rookie, I wouldn't object to it, as long as the criteria I mentioned above is met ie: background, training and development.
The only one who would fit that bill right now would be Jason Demetriou and I would sign him tomorrow without hesitation.
But we all know that is not going to happen!

round 5

Different team now, it’s taken a while for the players to adapt to Seibolds game plans, but jeez they have now.

What’s the difference with the Burgess boys this year? Do they actually have to play for thier positions now that Rusty is not with thier mum any more?

 

[Old Kogarah Boy 1]

The Bunnies are the standard to be measured against. Very impressed.

The one thing to consider is that we were playing great but have gone cold .
We will pick up again.
The Bunnies are starting to peak so they may go cold before the finals.
It’s very hard to ‘peak’all year long.

Luckily for them, they have a rabbit emblem and not a duck, otherwise, with the way they are playing lately, they would be called, Peking Duck!

Sorry, l’ll get my coat ......
