It's speculation that a rookie on the bench would have made a win easier. I don’t get the angst. We had Jnr, Reg, Lane, Papa and Brown all with gas left in the tank. Which begs the question, who should have been taken off and when ?

I wouldn't of bought him on. He isn't NRL seasoned and it was a semi final like game.
Greig needs to be eased into the NRL against weaker sides when we decide to rest or rotate.
RCG and JNRs 2nd stint where awesome. Greig would provide anywhere near what they did.
Probably picked for some experience, flying to Melbourne etc.And preparing for an away game out of Sydney.

Actually if you see the ^^^^ bench reaction to the Stone winning try, he looked a little salty. I reckon he’ll be picked in the in the 16 soon and he’ll be f**king hungry.

Stop making excuses for Bellamy. To concede 5 tries against a shit team like Parra is embarrassing...

How true. I always have said that once those big 4 cheaters all retired, Bellamy will never find GOAT cheaters like that again. The cheaters he has now are second level cheaters, great at it, but not GOATS like the previous lot. So Bellamy's coaching will slip a little as would be expected.

The number one cheating coach in the NRL will want to retire soon no doubt leaving his greatest legacy as the man more responsible then any other individual to have flaunted/broken/cheated the rules more then any other to the point of forcing the NRL to constantly change rules to counter his merkin cheating ways, all but ruining the game as a spectacle in the process.

Sucked in Bellyache you deserved that loss more then anyone else. I hope you never, ever win anything of significance again.

Am I bitter much? You betcha. 36 years and counting and a whole heap of shit wrestling games along the way we all have had to endure and sit through. What a blight on the game he has been and some like Matty Johns put him on a pedestal. What an insult to all the millions of fans that that man has duded over the years.

Trophies don't make the man. Your behaviour and actions along the way do and his melt downs in the coaching box tells us all how he feels about failure and therefore the lengths he will go to for success. Is anyone then surprised that he would manipulate the rules to the point of virtually disregarding them and getting the game and outcome he desires? Not a hero in my eyes. Just a old and cranky zero.

Biggest cheating dickwad of all time...In my opinion.

Martina is the worst thing to happen to RL since the Super league war. The game is far poorer for him and his butt buddy Scam Smith.
The game is very different these days for multiple reasons. Bellamy's coaching is just one of those reasons.

Mahoney is slow but. He takes off slow and top speed is slow. Also not a powerfull runner. Even when he runs out of dummy half and there is a gap he doesn't often turn it into a whole lot. He still needs to run more but can never be a cook, korisau etc. His body doesn't allow it.

Hands is dynamite out of hooker. Just no idea if his defense is NRL level or other parts of his game. His short kick game also excellent and a very good attacking pass game. Unsure on general service.

Hindy, where have you seen him play? Is there a link to a highlights video or anything else that you can post here for us to see? If not no worries.

The game has changed, and not for the better. The BS in the ruck for starters.
It feels like everything is controlled. Far less moments of randomness and unpredictability. The athletism is light years ahead of where it was but there aren't a lot of instinctive footballers that play whats in front of them these days. Cody Walker is the closest.
