Given the new finals system, we need to finish top 4\. If we win in week one not only is it a week off but we wont have to worry about playing an away prelim. And if we do lose, at least we get a home semi the following week. Finish outside the top 4 and if we win we will be playing away...

To be fair (And this is just a one off ocassion), Rothfield has backed Farah as NSW hooker all season.

He says that all the time whenever there is a try saver, it's almost a weekly comment for him now :laughing:

This is what Stuart said about him in his column: About six weeks ago, I put the heat on Robbie Farah, telling him Danny Buderus was ahead of him for Origin and that I wanted him to put his selection in his own hands - make the decision for me. > I can't tell you how proud I am of the way he...

That's not exactly correct, a quick tap can only be taken when the player who diffuses the ball himself or picks the ball up from the dead ball line, runs back to the 20m line and taps it himself. If he passes the ball forward to a mate on the the 20m line, they have to wait until the opposition...

Our total amount Origin players since 2000 has been: Terry Hill (2000) Scott Prince (2004) Brett Hodgson (2006) Robbie Farah (2009, 2012) Keith Galloway (2011) Hill, Prince and Hodgson were in winning teams so Hodgson would be the most recent Tigers player to win whilst playing for the Tigers...

I agree totally Citizen, it sounds like Russell just talks his way through everything, a bit like Andy Raymond but not as annoying. Braybrook actually sounds like a commentator, he gets excited and calls the game at a good pace. I think thats where some commentators fall down, the speed they...

Maybe you should read the post more carefully, because it says "halftime ratings", and based on Jennings first half where he got binned and made a couple of errors, I would give him no more then a 4 based on his first half.

Voss for Raymond and I would be happy, exactly right about Raymond being a cliche commentator. To me he seems to run out of words to say and that's where the cliche's come in. I don't know how he has lasted nearly 10 years as a Rugby League commentator.

I've always liked this format more. I think if the interstate teams make the top 4 (Which is very likely), it is going to be very difficult for teams outside the top 4 to make the decider. The top 2 will have two home games, no matter what happens in week 1, they will get a home game in week...

What I think will work in his favour and possibly sway Stuart is the amount of minutes he plays. If he can play 70 minutes at club level then surely he is more equipped to handle maybe 30 or 40 minutes at Origin level compared to other forwards who only play 50 minutes at club level. We know...

Yeh its always been live as far as I know. I remember the old Roast was live because members sometimes had to run across from the footy show to the roast set, and also leave early to get to the 3pm match. Its probably up there with Freddy telling everyone what the crowd was chanting one time...

Sirro's try in the 89 Grand Final. Brett Mullins two length of the field tries against Newcastle in 1994. Shaun Timmins try in game 2 of the 2000 Origin series where he chipped ahead and regathered with reflexes the rebound off Lockyer to score. Matt Gidley's try in game 3 of the 2000 Origin...

No NRL talent unfortunately from my school. I did go to the same Primary School as Toa Asa (Magpies NSW Cup forward from a few years ago), I remember one year I didnt have a tie for my school photos so the teacher sent me to the class he was in and he lent me his tie :laughing: And also I was...

Just heard an absolute pearler. Fox Sports is currently showing a game from 2004 between the Bulldogs and Sharks. The Sharks knock the ball on from a bad pass and he comes out with: "The Sharks just aren't staying alive, when Kimmeachey, er Peachey and Kimmorley have the ball you have to stay...

"With the Panthers up 12-0, if they score again it'll be difficult chase that down" And then 30 seconds later when the Dragons are tackled into touch: "Its a cheap turnover though by the Dragons"

The crucial factor will be winning our games when the other teams have their bye rounds.

I thought maybe we could bring him back and play hooker when Farah is playing Origin. :wink:

Shows you how much of a shocking selection it was when I forgot about him already when I was making my previous post :laughing:

I think the 'risks' he was talking about has been selecting Tony Williams despite being out for 7 weeks, picking out of form attacking players such as Hayne and Jennings. And picking a more attacking 5/8 in Carney over Soward. Besides that, I would say he would class Farah's selection as a...
