What is Stefano now? I mean seriously. I am not going to rubbish him. He did his part for us and left us. But what is he to the Storm? He just seems to be a solid bookend. Not exceptional, just solid. Origin he was a real nothing burger for the blues. Costed us a try and maybe Game 2...

Sorry you lost me? You mean "on the bus" or something else? I honestly think that just confused the crap out of Curtis Rona. Actually that's not a bad recruitment idea. Next Penrith, Storm, Roosters or other team game.. Just drive our bus up and see if any confused players get on and sign...

Do you mean AD? He has been playing good occasionally. Some games, man he has been a gun. Other games. He goes totally quiet. Look if he is going to only play this well in contract years. Give him 1 year at 600k and just keep repeating.

Yep... I mean honestly some of our signings have been above what I would expect. Papalii, Turuva, Luai, May... But others were just guesses. Latu Fainu only worked because of Samuela. Sullivan was a badish signing, made worse by us signing the real halves later... 500k paper weight...

Yep not the place. 100% parking this.

Yea... I mean I am accepting that we will just miss the spoon. Our attitude is better, our training is still soft! Benji would be the fluke coach that could take a well trained side to the finals. Benji is not the training/rebuild coach we need. We thought it was madge, it wasn't. Brad...

Well said. I just think what Penrith achieved is kinda remarkable. Not even the storm have done 4 straight and your going back to pre-cap times. Yes, they had some champions... But the riff's success is more a strong team with the right people in key parts. Removing Romey and they fell...

Souths is strange... They backed Cody Walker, who sure had been playing good for them. But they backed most of their aging squad. Punting Damien Cook, who ok is slowing down... the rest they have been unusually charitable. I suspect Wayne may not have the energy for a full cleanout yet. He...

Gov debt rates are tiny compared to private debt. The Federal Government also borrows at a smaller rate then the state government. One of the cuts that Howard did was the aid to state governments. So you saw the debt "saved" be transfered to the state governments who paid a higher interest...

I don't see tomorrow as Anything for Benji. If we pull a miracle win against the dogs I will be impressed. Ofcourse we are going to loose. If it's by one try or 5. .. Look normally I appreciate a fight adn seeing the guys give it a go. ... Now I am kinda over it. Sorry just feeling burned...

So, lets get the maths right: You take an asset, like Telstra. An Asset that makes money. Sell it, undervalued. You retire debt, but you also LOOSE Income. That Asset making Profit (Telstra, in this case 1.8 Billion dollars this year.) That Debt, costing 0.6 Billion to service... (30 Billion...

You just need to look at China and realise how important infrastructure is. They built roads linking communities. They built trains. They found what was being bottlenecks to their industries and they built support! Also Every Asian country invests heavily into education. We are really...

Agreed, but lets talk of a more modern player in our system. I mean Koroibete I think is sitting in the retirement chair now and if he isn't, he ain't coming here. Nofo at least was in our team for ages, known as a poor defender and we barely improved him at all. I think the key problem was...

Look Marika Koroibete and JAC are awesome and would have been 100% Keep. But JAC had melbourne coach him into defense and became a good defender. If he had stayed, we would have had defensive problems. Melbourne taught him a few tricks... Would JAC have ended up like Nofa here? Don't know...

You brought Little Johnny up. We were all talking about Speed pigs! People don't get loans. They don't get that a government debt at 2% is better then a private debt at a higher percentage... which is better then a credit card debt 9-19% approx. But back to Speed Pigs... Anyone been booked...

That's such a shame. I kinda trust Craig Fitz on sizing up if a player will work hard. Royce clearly could be someone in NRL, but seems to have the attitude of not putting in.

Yes and NOT hire everyone from the 2005 squad. Not knocking Morris, Hodgson or Heighington. But as a group, it's too inbred. It means were not drawing on experiences from other teams and their techniques.

Why? Seriously.. Look Asu (Please never call him AJ, that confused the crap out of me) has some dynamic play to him.. He was also one of the most on again/off again players to take the field. His defense was poor and so many games we would look to him putting in and he just wouldn't. This...

You don't get it at all. John Howard gave us 700K houses when at the start they were 200k. Your Government debt is charged at Super LOW interest rates. 2% or less. Your Private debt is charged at far FAR higher interest rates. 5% or more. He shifted the debt, the loan from low to high...

Wait... Sniff some glue? Do you mean alcaholic Glue? Are we trying to get our pack drunk or something?? I thought you would eat chilli's or something. Maybe just remind people that Galvin ruined their season.
