People think VHS is a dead format, but they keep it alive just for shitty Nic Cage movies that would be a waste of DVDs

Cool. I plan to follow the Colts closely this season because I am a big Notre Dame football fan (South Bend Indiana) and you guys will have Quentin Nelson who is going to help make life easy for Andrew Luck and also Matthias Farley who played safety for the Irish.
I spent a week in Indiana last year and absolutely loved the place. They are obsessed with the Australian accent. We are like celebrities over there.

I also support Notre Dame but not anywhere near as close as the Colts because they don't give us gamepass for college football (which i would totally pay for) so only get to see the games they actually give us on Fox.

I am very excited for Nelson, what a f**king beast he is!!!

I was also in Indiana last year for a Colts game in December, you are right it is a great place and they do love us. I can't wait to go back in 2020, this time for longer.

Thanks, Gronk.

I’m not brave (in that twisted way you have to be to do something so painful) enough to do anything but i don’t have any attachment to life. There is nothing i am living for as such. I was ready to go at 20 to be honest......

I wish i had an ounce of your positivity but this club has destroyed me too much in the past.......
Sam Kasiano has gone backwards at Melbourne.

f**k that Bellamy is a shithouse coach!
One player going backwards doesn't make a shithouse coach. Almost every player going backwards probably does.

If you have injury issues and restrictions due to the salary cap you can’t just drop everyone who isn’t executing what you are instructing them to do. What do you do then?

Recruit as best you can for next year and don't renew the coach's contract after 2019.

Great question.

Gutho is coming off his second ACL and he is clearly struggling. He is well down on form and well down on confidence. Why when there is another kicker in the team put him under this sort of pressure???

BA really puzzles me at times.

The players decide who the goal kicker is, not the coach.

No mate, haven't you heard? BA controls everything. Halves decisions, goal kickers, Takairangi;s missed tackles, the Wentworthville club, the fabric of existence itself....

Every. Thing.

Can you ask him what's on for dinner tonight? I'm getting hungry.

Whilst watching a reply I was telling my wife that the Eels are the dumbest team in the comp. She said to me "Who is dumber? The team, or you for continuing to watch them and yell at the TV?"

You know as we lost the game I was thinking she may be right...

I hardly ever watch a full Parra game anymore. And next year I might not watch any. I've been following the Eels for over fifty years and I think I may have had enough. It's turned me off Rugby League in general. I hardly ever watch a game now. Doesn't matter, because I'm really starting to take an interest in soccer. It's a bloody good game, actually.

It certainly points to a leadership problem, but you should be aware that plenty of players are more influential than the coach. Especially the ones who earn more than him.

I don't even know what a Rugby League coach does anymore. What's more, I don't think I really care.
