Re: Ricky Stuart banned for seven days and fined $25,000 for press conference comments

Chiming in to add my admiration for the work GE and anyone else involved in the running of this site does. I don't post often but am an avid reader and find this place to be one of the best supporter sites I've come across. I certainly don't think the team you support should be above your own critic...

Yeah I'd say so, that's why it's frustrating, as it seems to be the stance of every practice in my area.

As RedRaider says I'll just have to keep trying though. Maybe there's a black market somewhere I can hit up

Not supportive of going all out for Hynes. Lockyer recently made the same point I made last week. Promising Storm halves are notorious for failing at their next club.

Re: This is not rugby league

I don't think anyone would suggest that players shouldn't be protected from head injuries. The thing is though the game is already doing that. High shots have always been penalised and particularly bad or deliberate ones were sin bins/send offs before as well. Then in recent years the HIA rule has b...
