This whole argument of not being able to buy superstars as an excuse for quite frankly, **** ordinary coaching, is a bit ridiculous to me. In the last 25 years of the NRL era, the best coach I’ve seen has been Craig Bellamy, hands down. The best team I’ve seen in the last 25 years, again, hands dow...

A great signing for the future. Certainly buys another five years for the coach. And it shows in his laidback approach this year. The last two seasons he has looked like a coach under pressure. Particularly 2022 where he looked a dead man walking until Savage and Woolford came into the side and save...

You cannot have so many young spine players (in the halves and fullback) playing behind a beaten pack. It's too much pressure and unfair on them. Woolford provides the best service from dummy half and there's really no debate on that. Right now I don't care about those other areas of the 'hooker' de...

Did Papa even play tonight?? I hardly ever notice him playing these days... seriously does the rickster only give him 10 mins or so? You seem to be most prolific on this site when we lose. You constantly deathride the side. Is your life so pathetic that you need to troll this site, you're clearly n...

Okay, that was disappointing. A few clangers to put the game out of reach, but for me it was obvious from the first quarter of the game that we lost the ruck, the wrestle and forward battle. And comparing the packs that shouldn't be happening. Woolford must be given a go. Starling offers nothing. Le...

Hard to read too much into that. Watching the highlights, Parramatta looked gassed by half time. Humidity is a massive momentum killer, and this summer in SE has been the most disgustingly humid one I've ever experienced. Training for a marathon through it, I can tell you that your energy levels dr...

How good is Katoa? Looks like some really good, next gen players coming through at the moment.

Man, Sutton has totally screwed up this game with his inconsistent refereeing of the ruck. First 20 minutes Warriors have all the ball and ruck is extremely slow. Then Saints get a bit of possession and all of a sudden he wants a quicker game. Three legup penalties in a row to Saints and 6agains thr...

Good news. I'd be as shattered if he left for one final big pay day as when Wiki left. He deserves to be our highest capped player. Playing rep footy since 19 y/o, an absolute monster on the edge, then converting to arguably the most consistent prop in the game over the last 5ish years. One of our g...

Like I said that may or may not have been the case but even if he was he absolutely had no right to play the ball that quickly in that circumstance.

Went and saw Dune 2 today. Great cinema experience. A really well made film. My only criticism was the finale seemed rushed in comparison to the pacing in the rest of both films.

Schuster could be a gun. But is probably in the same basket as Latrell. If they had their head on right, quality players. We’ve seen obviously with Latrell. Schuster could be a great player. It’s worth a chat especially that Manly could be forking most of his salary. Stupid not too. Imagine picking...

Gutted. I would have thought with his Raiders lineage he would have stuck around. I reckon the knights must have offered him more money (the crap about being promised a centre position was thrown around when Cotric signed with the dogs too but we all know that move was motivated by the crazy $$$ he...

The problem with games that end in golden point is that the decisions in the last minutes of the game are overly scrutinised compared to every other decision in the game. The Titans gave away 3 set restarts in quick succession and easily could have had a player in the bin but that didn't happen. If...

Too right Micky. I can see the headline now in 2028. “ACT Government announces exciting new feasibility study into future Canberra stadium and plans for the Tuggeranong ice rink continue to progress”. And tram extension to Weston Creek, worth 5 trillion dollars. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

Annesley making a huge deal about a player just one metre offside in Golden Point isn’t good for his inexperienced female referee and also for all the referees who’ve let go much worse decisions go across the history of Golden Point games. Why single out her decision in such detail, choosing the ex...

I don't think I've ever noticed as much criticism of a referee as she is copping, and **** me Klein, Sutton/s, Cummins over the years and Gough have been deplorable on many occasions. She was alright. If she blows 30 penalties to 10 (for Titans) she's not getting another game anytimesoon. But her ga...

Raiders gunna get smashed by the refs moving forward, based on Annesley's presser. Ricky was right and the stats show it, but Annesley seems more focused on the assumption Canberra should have been pinged on a few occasions and were offside on the charge down, rather than the fact the Titans got aw...

Lots of unwarranted negativity about our play IMO. I thought Stewart was good. He was sniffing around the ruck early. The coach kept his role simple. I thought he was good under the high ball until late in the game and his kick returns were aggressive. He is also well positioned in defence. The per...

Shame that Tanah Boyd isn't playing. He has been very ordinary this season. Brimson is much more dangerous in the halves for them.

The stadium itself will yield an economic loss, irrespective of its location. My position on this is pretty clear. I haven't seen a single objective study that articulates the real economic advantages of building a stadium in the city centre over one in Bruce - only people's personal opinions. I've...

The referees have been expanding six agains in quite a few games. I think both you and Gerg have a point. Some refs are certainly blowing the 6 agains (especially a cluster of two or 3 within a couple of tackles), but I too have noticed some smart teams really pushing the boundaries in the tackle a...
