    Sri Lankan bowling attack pretty pedestrian, as I'd suspected. I'd be stunned if they took 10 wickets in any innings throughout this series. Christ, they took 11 out of a possible 40 wickets last time they toured here back in 07/08 and their attack then featured Murali and Chaminda Vaas! What...

    Good to see Hughesy score some runs. I have nothing but admiration for the guy, he's defied 2-3 setbacks and a core group of doubters who believed he'd never cut the mustard as a successful test batsman to come back again this time far more fluent and competent, a tribute to his application and...

    \ \ SA would have won the 1st test convincingly, are you kidding yourself? I do seem to recall Australia scoring 550 odd in their 1st innings and having SA well and truly 'on the ropes' in their 2nd innings. Neither occurrence can be attributed to the lost days play, rather Australia playing the...

    Cricket Season Thread

    Gee, yesterday was a step in the wrong direction (reminiscent of the 2010 ashes at times). Frustrating to see good bowlers bowling the same garbage ball after ball with the same consequence each time. Can somebody explain WHY Wade and Johnson tried smashing Peterson out of the ballpark? I mean...

    Camp Concord

    Heard on the radio this morning WT pre season training began today… Can anyone (presumably close to the club) tell me which players were actually there? Guys like Tuqiri, Bell, Simona etc. still haven't officially been signed on for next season and also have not signed elsewhere. Any...

    Jacob Miller to the Eels.

    If he leaves, the credibility of our administration has to be questioned. He's been given NO time to show his credentials in FG (only a handful of games when the team itself were a rabble), he's a genuine 7 (we appear to have none others at the club) and he's highly regarded by those who have...

    Marshall/Farah are the reason we the games that we did. Name me one game where either Ryan or Heighington were influential on the final outcome?

    'it's not about winning or losing, it's about being around g

    Wholeheartedly agree with the second point, disappointing to see none of the remaining player group mention that while their good mates are leaving, new players will come and have their own positive influence on the team's morale.

    Beaus a sook

    It's a little harsh to be calling him a sook. It would seem as though initially the club were keen to resign him for a further 3 years, and he was adamant this was going to happen so far as to announce it on TFS some months ago. No formal documentation was ever filled out for whatever reason and...

    Euthanasia Your thoughts

    No, they don't. They can maintain a good quality of life and any problems they may have I.E. Mental illnesses, can be overcome providing the correct measures are undertaken. It would be an insult to those are disabled, who would do anything to walk again, to see able bodied people throwing their...

    Well, whoever conjured the rumour stated that the player linked to Souffs was unhappy with the departure of both Ryan and Heighington, as if to imply it was a big factor in the player looking for a contract elsewhere. To try and say Ryan and Heighington were performing is a little fanciful...

    Completely agree Fraze, the boys club attitude is embarrassing and a sad reflection on the institution. These blokes need to realise footy is a business, and clubs are to be run with a degree of professionalism. And a key feature of this professionalism, is that you don't pick who you get to...

    Chris Heighington off to Cronulla Sharks in player cleanout

    Noofalumu in the 20's was resigned for a further 3 years starting next season and can play on the wing or in the centres. TBH have not seen much of him but those who have regard him highly, can only have been given such a contract with an expectation he'll play FG sometime in the future...

    Brent Kite possibly leaving Manly

    ? Lewis was never in the bag. Sharks were favourites to sign him all along.

    Farah made dis-tasteful tweet about gillard

    Completely agree Ink, how some of you guys can downplay the seriousness of what the guy wrote is above and beyond me. Dermo, unless you know the bloke who made the tweet, how do you come to the conclusion that he wrote it to gain a reaction and didn't actually mean it? You need to realise there...

    Euthanasia Your thoughts

    Been examining the issue closely in PRS (Philosophy and Religious Studies) at school. Very situational IMO. I'm not in favour of paraplegics being granted the right to euthanasia as they can still maintain a certain quality of life I.E. They can read, write, talk and in some instances move. You...

    Farah calls in cops over vile tweet

    Social media and in particular twitter is a breeding ground for morons such as this. With much better Internet accessibility and the notion of being anonymous, expect more of the same. It's a huge problem and the status quo will be maintained until there is a bigger deterrent to post such...

    Heighington???

    A great clubman and player in his prime but he no longer offers anything of value. His metre counts may be contrary to what many say, but he is too slow and fails to run lines, break tackles, hit holes or trouble opposition defence lines. Even myself who does not pay particular attention to an...

    No ticker

    The question must be asked: How has Moltzen gone backwards THIS MUCH within the space of a year? He played a role in our run towards the semi's last year and was touted by many on here (including myself) to be our long term halfback when Lui left the club. Especially considering what he offered...
