I created this thread just to have a rant around referees. 16 mins left in the second half, Doggies rushing to get back from a dolphins break. The markers are offside near the tryline but make the tackle anyway. Do they spend 15 minutes video reviewing checking every minute details? Do they...

We got one!! Maybe I've not paid attention to some, but when did we last win a captain's challenge and what is our strike rate? I can't recall us winning one.

I know we are the worst of this bunch, but these teams have loaded their rosters, put up and coming coaches in, get all the hype and are all still a hundred miles off being top tier. In many ways we're in a better position than them with better cap flexibility in future and eventually getting...

Simpkin will get better but still probably not quite top first grader, Liddle is good in patches but gets tired and fades badly. Even rotating them better in a match, I think we need to improve this position. Choppy service from both. Particular concern is defensive problems, both don't seem to...

That was the worst 1,6, 7, 9 performance I've seen for a long time. Brooks was the least bad of them, but they were horribly out of sorts: mbye running across field, never putting the foot down, Doueihi ponderous and confused, Brooks not organising, Liddle stutter step nowhere and not able to...

So we played a more expansive style with early set backline movements. This didn't work so well in the first half, Luciano's pass out wide gifting the Roosters their first try. But it was a little more effective in the second half. Anyway, we haven't played this way this year and I was wondering...

He's decent in the halves but he is so messy at 9, both in attack and defense. His loose tackling was awful, playing significant part in quick play the balls and gaps in the defensive line to setup two of their tries and our attack was a mess when he came in. I don't think he should be the...

We're going on about Madge, wanting new players, blaming the referees, going on about our never ending mediocrity, wanting to blow everything up etc.... But what can we do to play better next week? I think a few have noted that Grant's become a lot less structured in his play, and he needs to...

I said last week It looked wrong dropping Benji and it hasn't paid off. Now do you bring him back? And if you do how do you face the team chopping and changing as you do? I don't think many saw Reynolds as a player who would improve our attack, and he didn't. It was noticeable also how much...

Hi all, I think the club needs to have a really good think about our home ground situation. This might sound reactionary after another home loss, but I think we have a problem at our club related to home game atmosphere which threatens the very existence of the club, and perhaps rugby league...

I really like what Cleary has said and done since taking over, so I'm willing to trust his decision making, however, I'm not sure about either Matulino or Reynolds. By all reports, Matulino hasn't shown much form recently and is coming back from injury. It's not often you see a prop who fades...

Benji has received a lot of criticism on here, and his form has certainly been poor. But, I think we have been too harsh when it comes to questions around his effort and commitment to the club. His good performance on Saturday highlights the fact that he is at his best when playing out wide...

A lot of people seem really confident about Monday's match and our progress recently, however, I think we need a bit of perspective. In 13 rounds we have beaten penrith twice, nth qld and parra. That is it. We have lost everything else and not a lot of matches have been close. Our win against...

I missed the first half. Is Marika going to be out for an extended period?

This was from the Tallis' attack on Blair's play. I found Potter's explanation of the game troubling: "The reason we lost is that we weren't catching kicks. The reason we lost is defensively they were allowed too many metres. We would defend a couple of plays and then they would roll us down...

So, at first it may seem a silly idea, but I think Sandow could perform well with us, and I think Parra would be a willing trading partner for Blair. There is no way they can continue to 'develop' a side around Sandow, when he isn't the sort of halfback that can hold a backline together, so they...

Anyone see this article? Sorry if it has been posted elsewhere. http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/the-quiet-one-20130422-2i948.html Just absolutely tragic for his girlfriend and family.

The tigers have started every game this year well. In matches so far here are the scores after 20 minutes: Round 1 newcastle: Tigers in front after 20, 6-4 - Against Newcastle we looked good for the first 15 minutes and then put in one of the worst performances I've see. Round 2 Penrith: after...

He is a solid player and would be good value at the $200 000-$250 000, but he is rumored to be on $500 000 with us. I think he is also easily replaceable and doesn't add anything special. Is there a possibility of offloading him to another team? I think the sort of cap hit he is causing will...

I think comparisons between these two athletes are interesting because both suffered hip injuries that have had a huge impact on their careers. Bo’s hip injury basically ended his career, and Lawrence hasn’t been the same since injuring his hip. For those of you too young to remember Bo Jackson...
