Madge has done a great job. He's had success everywhere except with us. It's obvious it was Pascoefiasco not him. Hope this is a clear message to Benji and the few remaining players from that time that his methods work and it was us and our lack of effort that was to blame.

That was a great game. Best I've seen for a long time. The standard was so high. I think only talagi was making errors out there. Broncos coming back against that Penrith juggernaut is the best efforts in rugby league since Penrith started their run of premierships. To beat the best when...

Hynes didn't have a good game but I still think he's very good. I really like the way he moves the ball around and he has a crafty kicking game and good acceleration. He just seems one of those players that doesn't quite lift physically in the big games. But I think so much of what the Sharks do...

I follow the A-league and Mielekamp did a really incredible job with the club. They were barely able to survive financially and he took them to the top of the table. He's highly respected for what he did at the club by the fans and I'm really glad he's been given this role. He was known for...

Hopefully this is the end of Richo talking about how much of a mess our club was and how far we've come. How long can he continue with it? It sounds almost exactly the same as Pascoe...administration is now in good shape, profitable club, improving membership...and it turns out all of what...

Yes, that's a massive problem for them. Definitely not Galvin he was awful as a halfback.

Galvin was back to his tigers form today. He looked threatening at times, made some errors at others and kicked poorly throughout. I was at the game so not sure how it looked on the telly, but it's interesting how all of the attack and movement went through him with Burton and sexton virtually...

I thought Hynes was excellent tonight. He plays fast and gets players into good spots around him. He's not an especially threatening runner but his creativity and kicking game are really good and means he's a tricky player to oppose. He's not amongst the very best halves but not having paid much...

Wow, Penrith actually being called regularly for offside!! When did the refs decide to enforce that against them? Bulldogs, Penrith, Melbourne all are excellent at pushing the boundaries (and going beyond) of that offside line.

Bulldogs defense was excellent, Melbourne look really erratic. It looks great sometimes, but Grant and Munster are such adlib players and it seems to stifle their attack at times. I think sexton, Galvin, Burton all in the side was better for them. Galvin probably the least threatening of all of...

Bulldogs showing why they're top 4. Really good defensive contact earning turnovers and intimidating opposition forcing a grind. Galvin has been ordinary but looks much more threatening at 5/8, sexton has a more varied game and plays much faster than Galvin. Melbourne have been very poor...

NAS hasn't been a wrecking ball this year, he's been terrible and barely gets a run. What are you all watching? Highlights from 4 years ago? He's the exact opposite of what we need: He's ill disciplined, he doesn't seem to have much of a motor these days, he's not a particularly effective...

KPP is average as other have said. Seems particularly lacking in what we urgently need physicality and aggression. Frizell looks much better than him on a well beaten side.

1. Does the Canberra result mean they can't win the comp (50+ in a game)? 2. Eels showing what a team making progress under a rookie coach looks like.

He's a very talented player. Great front foot player, but we'd be better off with a less skilled and dynamic hard worker. Until he gets somewhere near Taylan for toughness and aggression he's a liability in a team that needs players doing gritty work without momentum. I could see him go to...
