There is a guy who sometimes posts on the forum as he is a massive Weststigers fan who was a very handy grade cricketer and now coaches one of Sydney’s better grade clubs. Anyway he told me when he first played top grade every club had two guys who could bat all day and half the next if...

My son was given tickets to the fourth day for Christmas, okay he gets a refund, but what about the airfare from Sydney to Melbourne return. I guess with the NRL you know your game will start and finish as per schedule, cricket these days is a lottery. Of course the trouble is,the curators will...

Young Flano copes way too much flack from the fans and media. Okay he is no Cleary, but he was pretty solid most of last season in a team that was very inconsistent. The Dragons are vert similar to us, they can compete with most sides but just lack that super star game breaker to ice the close...

Don’t disagree, but he still is miles in front of e everyone except Head. Sadly we need two openers and a no3. If Smith actually walked to the crease at 2 for 180 instead of 2 for 20 every test his scores maybe more like the old days

Okay the wicket was not good but Iam afraid the Australian batting line up is terrible. We have two test standard batsmen in Head and Smith, the rest are somewhere between shield and grade. We have the ashes in the bag, so time to start the massive re build. Renshaw has to be in the team for...

The ACB are going to pray the Aussie can bat for two days in there second dig. Other wise there is a real chance this test will go maybe two and half days, costing them a squillion in lost revenue. At the start of the series I thought the Poms batting would be better than ours and would make...

Australia going with four quicks and no spinner. Obviously have little faith in Spud Murphy. It could also mean Green’s places is on shaky grounds, because with four quicks you don’t need a back up seamer to chew out a few overs. Having the ashes in the bag I would have played Murphy as we need...

So true, if this team doesn’t have a good season, and by that I mean somewhere around the eight or better, the whole club could sink to the cellar again for decades. To be honest with the current board structure and our roster, we are going to need every fifty fifty call go our way and be...

As we all know our club should be a juggernaut but at present is under funded and poorly run at board level. So unless the HBG can be ditched and replaced by a group that are accountable and democratically elected nothing will change. Of course private ownership is another avenue, but that can...

Ball tampering is like salary cap cheating, every team is guilty of it, it’s just some are better than others. The Aussies stuffed up but the penalty the three players copped was over the top. The public humiliation should have been enough with a hefty fine. Anyway now is a time to saviour a...

I will not renew my membership and I will not be driving from the inner west out to Cambo. I will not be watching away games from HBG HQ at Ashfield. My little protest, but sadly I don’t think the fools know what damage they have done. I would be very surprised if Benji can get them above bottom...

With the urn now safely in our hands for the next two years, it’s probably a good time rest anyone with a niggle and reward a couple of players who are next in line. Having Inglis at seven is something I would look at, surely Webster offers more?? Who replaces Lyons, I guess Spud Murphy, but the...

On paper the Pom’s should have been very competitive in this series. When you play a hard nosed outfit like the Australians you have to play them at their own game. You grind and grind and when you get on top than you can play some Bazball. Full marks to the Aussies and they deserve to retain...

It’s been said a million times but the HBG think it’s their money and it’s their club. They also know they are untouchable under the debenture system and accountable to nobody. Till the above changes, nothing else will

Agreed and with inconclusive evidence Iam not unhappy with the not out call but I don’t think we should lose a review either. On that track they are playing on 3-59 is an unbelievable effort. I think Boland and Lyons are the ones who will do the damage

Yesterday I said 375 was par for Australia, I now think 475 is more like it. If we don’t break through early it’s going to be a long hot day for the Australians. Lyons will be bowling plenty of overs. I guess we do get to bowl last so that may help our chances, but I see the Poms getting plenty...

Yep that’s why I threw in grade

Green has been the golden child since his first test. They are desperate for him to succeed and be the dominant force in Australian cricket going forward. Sadly he has delivered very little. You look a guy like Webster with half the natural talent but consistently delivered at test level. I...

Running a NRL club is not like any other business. You have to jump on people’s toes, you have to create trusted mouth pieces in the media, you have to break and bend rules when required, you have to be able to sweet talk the sponsors and fans and get the board to hand over large sums of money...

375 is par on this track for a team batting first. Tomorrow it’s going to be even better track for batting and is going to be super hot.
