Re: NFL Thread

First NFL game I've watched in my life, and only from Q4. Great game, albeit I didn't understand the tactics and the rules. Ricky Stuart reminds me of the 49s coach. Conservative, afraid to win a game. Conservative when on top, thinking he had enough points to win. Fogarty reminds me of the 49s QB....

Re: 2023 in review - Jordan Rapana

I'm gonna miss this guy when he hangs the boots up. Many will disagree, but he's been our best ever winger. He would have destroyed all sorts of records at the end of our early 90s backline. Couldn't give a rat's about to the suspensions. If every player in our squad played with his passion each we...

Big choke from the Sharks - that miss from Bailey was a shocker and two missed goalkicks. But Roosters continue to just slow the ruck and constantly offside defending their own line. Constant flopping in late to slow the ruck and get away with it. Klein and Sutton let them get away with it every ga...
