Re: A new Canberra Stadium

Remember when they used to turn off the hot water in the 'away' dressing room. We just need to get the sewerage airflow pumping into the 'away' dressing room for retro round.

Re: 2024 NRL Round 2: Teams and Game Day

Decent game at Brookvale. Manly could be a challenger this year, depending on that hamstring. Brooks playing well without the pressure he had before. Roosters getting away with slowing the ruck too much, when in the red zone.

The Dolphins are "a couple of million dollars" under the salary cap this year, coach Wayne Bennett has revealed, with enough cash to afford blockbusting forward Tevita Pangai Jr. Read more : https://www.theadvocate.com.au/story/8557544/bennetts-millions-of-reasons-to-make-pangai-a-dolphin...

They deadset phoned it in on that list. Have a few of the notable rep players on higher values e.g. Tapine, Young, Papalii. The rest they have thrown into a bucket around $400k-$500k. Looks like they just threw the names into a spreadsheet and ran a simple formula. By "they" I'm assuming ...

Just caught the replay. Really solid game from Hoskingsons's. How does Ricky bring EW back in with Hoskingsons's playing so well. Another not so bad game from Levi. Still has a bit of standing up to pass instead of passing off the ground but his defence is strong and good support for the try today. ...

Agree with others. Souths have the same problem that the Bulldogs have. No props. Tatola is decent but would he make our prop rotation? Tapine / Papalii / Horsburgh / Ata or Guler. I think this is why they faded so badly last year. Murray is still a good player but whenever you start noticing a play...

Those two things aren't equivalent though. It does go some way to explaining the situation. Biden is a t...

I'm not sure why a lot of people were/are tipping the Bunnies to be big improvers this year? Their forward pack and depth stinks. Melbourne's isn't much better but you just know that Bellamy will get everything out of his bunch of 'no names'.
