After a weekend of watching some really good skill full football played in wet conditions we get served up today’s offering. It cast my mind back to watching some very average Balmain sides in the 90s. It’s been a long time since I have seen such a bog average team run around. Sure they tried...

The game is getting quicker every year and you need players with speed, acceleration and big engines, that’s why I have my doubts on Schulster making a successful return to the NRL…but happy to be proven wrong

Good and bad news..Good to see the game getting a very good deal and hopefully the grassroots of the game are not forgotten in this windfall….Bad news, channel nine get to continue their rubbish presentation for a few more years

Zero risk signing as far as cap and roster, but the chances of it working are very slim but you never know

You never know, this might be a bargain bin buy that finally works out a winner. Anyway, bottom line there is nothing to lose so why not

No one is saying ban gambling, sure going to the clubs with your mates and having a flutter is fine, just like the old ladies who go to the club and blow 20 bucks on the pokies. What we need is to heavily control the way the industry is grooming the next generation of gamblers and the way they...

I think he is a really good buy, covers most backline positions, quick and can goal kick. My only question mark is the four years, would prefer a three year deal, but I guess the market place forces your hand when recruiting NRL standard players

Gambling today has been normalised as a fun thing to do and has been made so easy to access. When I was young you went to the bank on a Friday arvo and got enough cash out to see you through to Monday. If you went to Harold Park on Friday night and blew your cash , the rest of the weekend was...

My guess is the NRL did not dump on Klein because it may have opened a massive can of worms. When your continually negotiating your next broadcasting deal you can’t afford to have dirt flying around, lot easier to sweep it under the carpet.

So true, we can compete in an arm wrestle style game but soon as we come up against speed and flair we are done like a dinner. Under the game PVL has invented you need speed right across your 17 and you need a game buster. It’s why Manly are doing okay and the Dolphins are racking up scores. No...

I guess total number of injuries is not the main issue, it’s the players and the positions they play that have killed us this year. I think the game the NRL has now invented must be part of the problem and of course plain old bad luck is the other factor. I still think at full strength we were...

He may never have made a call for a financial gain, but the question has to be asked if he was in a fit mental state at the time of his addiction. Anyone with a major addiction will tell you it totally dominates your thought process 24/7

The Spencer L thing may have legs. My guess he will follow Luai to Port Moresby so he may need a home for a year. The Chooks may see this as a good time to clean up their cap. It would be a win for us even if it was only for 1.5 seasons.

We will not win six games, maybe four at very best. Injuries have destroyed our year, at full strength we could have made a serious challenge for the eight but zero chance now. The loss to Souths and the Bronks will bites us big time.

Or he was a terrible at reading a form guide

Personally I think we are long odds to get the two points today. Titans have a habit of beating us no matter how they are travelling. They have speed and flair something we really struggle with. The Leichhardt factor and a wet track could give us a chance, but I can see them racking up a score...

A lot of players we have let go have kicked on elsewhere , but every club could say the same thing. There are a million and one reason why this happens and usually is not a reflection of the club releasing the player. If you kept everyone you would have 150 players on your books. Okay I think we...

When any addiction takes control of your life people will do what they have to to feed their addictions, sadly it’s reality. It’s great that Klien has regained control and killed the addiction but there will always now be doubt about the past and the future. Every call he makes that is even...

The NRL will say nothing and do nothing. The minute they try and defend themselves they will be rightfully so mauled by most of the media. Of course the media outlets who are in bed with them will remain silent. Also as others have said, the NRL are parasites that live off the gambling industry...

Very good
