You're making a lot of assumptions here. We know that negotiations with Bula had been on going. Who knows where they are at now. If Bula has indicated he is definitely testing the market (not necessarily leaving but just seeing what is out there) and he has been offered his maximum value here...

No, was never in to top gear. But that was essentially exactly what the fella I knew was doing. The only issue, globally, is you just couldn't grow enough crops (or collect enough 2nd hand oil) to sustain all the world's diesel engines. There is enough 2nd hand oil out there for someone to make...

I didn't know the details or the blokes name but yes I knew the Diesel engine was designed to run on biodiesel. Actually used to know a bloke who made his own Biodiesel from used cooking oil from local tuck shops. By the time he factored in all the associated costs it was about $1.10L for him...

I don't think the conflict is just perceived. It is clear. Should he be commenting? Probably not. Are his comments being made to manipulate outcomes for the Dogs? Debatable at best.

I tend to agree. But it doesn't change the conflict between the two positions.

A few thoughts. My first thought based on comments and then listening to the video was perhaps it was a reference to their pursuit of Fuller for this year only. I then noted he didn't tell them not to buy a fullback. He said signing a fullback won't instantly solve their problems. Their...

Potentially but would want to hear the context around it and his explanation of what they do need. Also surely St George aren't changing the recruitment plans based on what a commentator has said.

If you read back I've acknowledged what is and isn't buried and acknowledged their limited shelf life. I don't get why people are so adamant about using shelf life and waste as an argument when coal power stations also have a shelf life (and both sides of politics ignoring that is how we have...

I personally have a different opinion to most. I don't see how making public positive comments are really any different to making private positive comments. If Bula chooses to leave I don't believe Gould's praise is in any way likely to be the reason. I'm not going to pretend it's not a conflict...

It's not so much that I don't think Api could do a very good job. I think if choosing to play a certain style he would arguably be the first picked. However in my opinion Brailey and Robson are significantly better defensive options and Brailey provides a lot of spark around the ruck. He doesn't...

Agree don't have anyone justifying origin selection. Disagree we don't want it. Continued winning combined with Origin representation is how we become an attractive club for potential recruits. Additionally players (usually younger players) speak of what they've learnt in elite environments.

There might be an argument for Doueihi on a 6 man bench but he would need to be over his groin issue for consideration and I'd still prefer others. Brailey has been the best 9 the past 12 months and is playing better than Api. May I don't think would be considered due to seemingly being on the...

I don't believe it is play style issue but simply our bench is good. I've been pretty critical of our forwards in the past but they have greatly exceeded my expectations this year. Looking around the comp and doubly so who we've played I think just about every clubs starting middles are as good...

Once the ball clears the ruck. So once it is behind the player playing the ball. Doesn't necessarily need to yet be touched by the acting half but contact with their hands or just before is typically a good indicator.

The early scores don't bother me as much as the territory domination. A lot of those early points are from dismantling our rookies on the left. That will happen with 2 rookies playing alongside each other. The concern is that every team has been able to march down our end early on in those games...
