    Every team has it's what ifs

    If we had of got the win over the Gold Coast we would now be confirmed in the semies. All it would have taken is field goal to have gone over. If Brooks had of knocked over the field goal instead of hitting the post against Melbourne we'd be almost certainly in. The line between success and...

    Souths sign 4 young guns, all very good

    I reckon Souths have struck gold signing 4 outstanding players in one hit. I reckon all will play some first grade next year and all have the potential to very good. Quite a coup really. If you havent heard they got Robert Jennings (who I reckon is amazing) Tyrell Fuimono (Aus schoolsx2...

    The irresistible force meets the immovable object!

    This should be interesting, we cant defend, they cant attack… Wonder how that will turn out! The dragons are diabolical to watch as a neutral fan, hope they don't come good against us

    Flogging a dead horse, but Right side defence again

    Not giving away any secrets, but the right side defense again copped a bath. We seemed committed to playing a big up and in defense, but copped it again out wide. Normally it seems mostly Kevvie and Noffa that struggle with the structure, I think that Moses seemed to be the main culprit I...

    The Pre-Game was abysmal and the rest just as bad

    Apart from taking forever to get the game on, the actual coverage was horrible, absolutely horrible. The pre game used to fire me up and have me raring to go. Last night it was painful and cringe worthy. The Phil Gould monologues are done, heard it all before, and now they seem forced and over...

    Fine line

    Was just thinking it is such a fine line between success and failure. Ben Hunt knocks over that last field goal which didn't miss by far and all the effort is for nought. Opposite side of the coin and Brooks makes the Field goal against the storm and we are on Semi final pace. Most clubs would...

    It didnt affect the result, but the refs nailed us!

    Didnt we cop the wrong end of the decisions yesterday. Everything seemed to go against us. We played rubbish and deserved to lose, Im just glad it wasnt close. That said though, all those decisions led to us only having 40% of the ball, maybe it changes a few things. Dont want to use that as...

    Are we ready for a draft??

    It is clear the salary cap is broken. Most likely permanently. The draft was knocked on the head in the early 90's after Terry Hill sued the league so he could play with Wests instead of the Rooster (how things have changed) However it works already in Australia with the AFL and is of course...

    Sick of the all the Ref bashing.

    I am sick to death of the lack of respect in our game for referees in general. The commentators, the coaches and the players all treat the refs and their decisions abysmally. Firstly, the game of rugby league and its rules were not designed to be adjudicated in slow motion by 30 odd cameras...

    Unpopular view, but I reckon we are going Ok

    At the beginning of the year everyone was saying we were a basket case and would run bottom few. We havent looked that way at all. We dont look like winning the comp at this stage, but certainly we have shown some good signs and will win our fair share of games. We beat Manly and Warriors...

    Balmain Rnd 1 SG Ball and HM

    Tough start with Penrith at Penrith who are always good. I didn't see HM myself but they had a draw. ( funnily enough so was the game i watched ) Speaking to the guys there it was a high quality game especially given the conditions and that it was rnd 1. Very evenly matched, the good judges...

    Why I think Ipswich footy would work in the NRL

    I watched the game on the weekend and again yesterday, I have now seen the jets only half a dozen times, so not much as others, but Im convinced the Walker brothers style would be successful in the NRL. My thoughts why 1.Stops line speed in the middle- The current NRL defensive philosophy is...

    Reputation over performance for the Churchill

    Very poor decision. Thurston had an off night despite the field goal. Thought Granville and Coote were terrific for the Cowboys, Morgan came up with the clutch play. Milford, Oates, Reed were great for the Broncos

    Good night for the Tigers at the Brad Fittler Medal

    I just got home from the Brad Fittler medal, the tigers boys scored a couple of major awards. Aaron Woods won the people's choice player of the series . And Robbie won the courage and commitment award whatever that is called. Dugan won the Fittler medal. A couple of notes from the night, I was...

    Edge back rowers looked terrific

    Siro and Lawrence terrific on the edges today played a huge role in the win. Sirro has started and finished the year well despite a lull in the middle. Lawrence has been pretty strong most weeks in the back row. Augers well for the future.

    Much more flair advancing the ball

    Ive been very critical all year that we had strippped back our attack way too much, particuarly between the 20's, it put so much pressure on elsewhere. In the last few weeks we have used the ball much better, our error rate hasnt changed much, and all of a sudden we are asking more questions...

    I reckon Wally nailed it

    I reckon Wally Lewis was spot on when he said most of what we do looks really good and then we let ourselves down with a really bad mistake in both attack and defense, usually on our right edge. That was certainly the case today we'd role up the field nicely, ask a few questions at times , put...

    Centre is our biggest issue

    We have a massive issue in the Centres, which is obvious. Every week our centres are directly responsible for a couple tries, this week it was 6\. I understand their job is being made harder when we lose the forward battle, which we did on the weekend. but even not under pressure we are getting...

    An unlikely rumour-Klemmer to the Tigers

    I heard this rumour from a mate who is reliable, but reckoned his source was weak, he was hoping I could verify, I couldnt. I than happened to notice a facebook group prank claiming the signing, I suspect this is where the rumour started. It is nice to dream though. If it does come true, well...

    Hoeters defense

    A lot when a player gets panned on the forum, i feel it is often not their fault. Sometimes they are filling a role or the person at the end of a system being beaten. Unfortunately with Hoeter he is really struggling defensively at Centre, I understood he hasn't played much there and all that...
