What do you mean by we don’t have the spine to turn a quick play the ball into a line break? What sort of spine do you need for that?
I said every quick pay the ball, not just 'a' quick play the ball.

The type of spine for that is generally one with a lot of experience. Three or four merkins that just know how to read the defence and make good decisions. Gutherson has become very good at this but Moses is shit this year. Mahoney and Drown haven't been around long enough.

Means nothing, if we are straight out the back semis time!
Well you only have to lose two games in a row. It's easy to do with a bit of bad luck. Even Bellamy has done it. Winning finals games takes some luck even if you have the best team. If you flipped a coin twice and got tails both times you'd be a f**king idiot to think there was something wrong with the coin.

Is it because I’m Magneto?

Your clandestine meeting worked out well. One of you were banished to Canberra while the other threw big bickies on the Souths V Eels game and ended up shouting Chardie's patrons for a week.

I'm going to Lachney Cottage next week. But don't worry, if the toaster doesn't work I'll blame BA, not you.

I'll know if you've been there or not. One has to solve a puzzle to locate the front door key. At least you'll sleep well knowing you've followed the steps of a modern day explorer.

Changing the coach isn't going to fix any of that. It's about resources. Why do you think SBW didn't want to play for any other club? Or why Cameron Smith has spent his entire career at Melbourne?
Of course changing coaches makes a difference, either for the better or the worse, although resources for each coach changes up and down depending on their requirements. Some are more 'hands on' than others.

Looked at the Knights/Warriors game. Gee the Warriors are playing good football and BA better have that easy fix in place otherwise we'll get slaughtered. I'm really worried about this game.

Btw how good has Payton got the Warriors going? I reckon he'll become a good coach and will do wonders with Cowboys, although they have some roster problems he'll have to sort out first.

If the stories about Payten are true, he better be a good coach. And people think BA doesn’t want assistants capable of taking his job...

I feel sorry for Payten. The knives will be out as soon as the Cowboys start losing next year.

After years of trying at different clubs, Payton’s plan finally worked. Seems like a bit of a scumbag, but none of that really matters if you can coach.

Although there must be a reason he kept getting overlooked for the top job elsewhere.
