Re: The Politics Thread 2019
This country was dumb enough to vote for Tony Abbott. It is definitely dumb enough to elect Scott Morrison.

Re: 2019 Rd 5 V Eels: Teams and Previews
Only reason I suggested Lui to drop off with the return of Tapine is I don't want to drop any of the others and really want to keep Young in the 17. The mobility, line speed and energy he brings off the bench has been great. Without him we have a very heavy bench; 14. Havili 15. Horsburgh 16. Sutto...

Just about every side in the comp is spending upwards of $700K on their number one half, except probably Melbourne and the Warriors.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2019
If we continue playing as well as we are and Williams is signed + Rapana retained, then imo the long term risk of a big money signing needs to be heavily discounted. We would be trying to genuinely win a comp next year. Yeah. I think we are a quality number 7 away. Williams would be that guy. Curre...

Re: 2019 Rd 4 V Cowboys: Game Day
I know it doesn’t really matter. But just on the Papa potential sin binning. Doesn’t the lead ref set the 10 meters? It is my understanding the players must be in line or behind the ref setting the 10. Look at where the lead ref was when the tap was taken. Papa makes contact well behind this mark w...

At first glance it looked like Papa might have been inside the 10 when he made contact but there are extenuating factors IMO. Morgan was a couple of metres in front of the mark when he taps the ball (that is clear in the still images). Morgan also clearly sets out to milk the penalty and makes conta...

We are much better than the Knights but we are playing incredibly poorly.
Wighton has been awful and Williams needs the ball. Our right edge is the edge we need to be playing to.
