Re: 2023 State of Origin II - Maroons v Blues

I loved that line from him about the ethos of the team and it truly being about more than players, and it's been touched on in the media - "i can, because we are", that's a lovely phrase that many coaches will steal and say to their players and think that's culture. "Bleed Green"...

Re: 2023 State of Origin II - Maroons v Blues

Luai being a flog again. I have seen some absurd suggestions on the GH that any criticism of Jerome is racially motivated. Please. The guy is a complete tosser and there is ample data and evidence to back that up. Not any criticism. Just the criticism that appears to have a racial or cultural focus...

Re: 2023 State of Origin II - Maroons v Blues

The whole Penrith combinations thing reminds me of a schoolroom where two kids individually could focus reasonably well, but when put them together they become problematic. That’s exactly what it’s like having Luai, Crichton, To’o in the team. The footage of them turning the team bus into a nightcl...

Re: A new Canberra Stadium

I agree Canberra Stadium needs an upgrade if not a re build but I think its a bit mean to say the facilities are only at park football level Pretty impressive park football stadium then!
