Totally forgot about this bloke, from memory, he didn't get a run against us.
I wonder what he'd be thinking now. Though probably better money.

I reckon he'd be thinking about how great the dolphins are for buying him a large slice of a nice house.

In all seriousness, he's another player with a ton of potential who probably won't pan out. Maybe he's injured or still getting over his major injury (ACL?) from last year.

Brian to'o is on $550k. I'd imagine he'd be feeling a little under paid

Seriously, is that all To'o is on. My goodness, he should be on at least 650k.
His value is not just in scoring tries, but he also plays like another fwd. Another Pole type of player who hits the ball up when his fwds are tired.

Watched the cowboys 24-16 win over the Wabbits and I must say it was a frustrating game to watch.
There were more knock ons than in an AFL match and poor discipline was rife.
I don't like watching Mitchell play. He's lazy and a show pony.

If he's so furious about it, why doesn't he do something about it, like a man, instead of posting about his alleged outrage like a blue haired, teenage girl. He comes across as a complete coward, which to be fair is what he is. If he did front Anasta, he'd more than likely back down. Wouldn't want to get those bleached teeth damaged in any way. I can't ever remember Anasta having a fight in his playing days. And that was back when you could still fight if you wanted to.

Aside from player managers, the other blight on the game is giving these gossip columnists TV time. It's hard to think of one of them who doesn't think he's the smartest person who's ever walked on planet earth, and acts accordingly. Some of the most punchable faces I've ever seen.

Anasta’s uncle could certainly fight.One of the toughest players to ever play the game.I got to know him 25 yrs ago a man of enormous integrity a really decent person but the last person u would want to get into a fight with.

We have to do better. We regularly get screwed by the refs and we have to win games when it happens. They really have to work on their discipline.

I've noticed a trend in recent years that when a team defends well, they trust it, and are willing to give away penalties in their red zone so they can reset properly or stop the offence roll on.
We've been doing this a bit in games thru our great D.
Time to reset or rethink this tactic.
Or maybe, just try to get the same best 17 on the paddock week after week.
It's the only way this club will change it's culture into a winning one. It's hard to buy in when a team chops and changes often.

I thought we'd been pretty good this year and a lot more disciplined. I'm surprised to see us as 2nd worst. Although we probably conceded 10 of those 49 penalties last weekend.

Top 8 teams give away a lot of penalties because they always have great line speed and 90% of the time reset well.
It's the dumb penalties that are coach killers like not playing the ball properly, careless tackles and dragging a player into touch after the tackle is completed.
Getting rid of Bateman was a good idea. We need players who are disciplined and effective.
Our D is so much better than last year as we now know what wins games....D.
We just need to get our best 17 playing together, week after week.
