    The NRL Has Bad Atmospheres

    Yeah that would be great wouldn't it? Even after looking at the renders of Campbelltown stadium when it's finished it still looks like a bad viewing experience. I more so meant build a smaller 20,000 capacity CommBank lite near Accor for clubs that are currently playing at Accor. Would do loads...

    The NRL Has Bad Atmospheres

    Yeah but my question is why aren't we like that by nature? Weren't we made up of convicts from England up until you know, the mass replacement? And to be fair English Premier League atmospheres are pretty bad compared to most European ones. I'm not asking for full blown flairs and massive...

    The NRL Has Bad Atmospheres

    So I've recently gotten a little into the English Premier League, and it made me realise how bad the NRL's atmospheres are. The NRL really has no atmosphere at its games, it really kind of does feel like I'm missing out, chanting and carrying on with the lads, making offensive chants insulting...

    LIVE GAME Round 14 v the Panthers

    When did I ever say I "don't know" whether Melbourne was a better team than Penrith? All I said was Melbourne were starting to hit some form. And yes anyone that knows anything about football knows Cronulla are a really good attacking team but a horrible defensive team. No one's questioning...

    LIVE GAME Round 14 v the Panthers

    So you just looked at which team has scored the most points for on the ladder and came to the conclusion that they're the best attacking team in the comp? Not all the other factors that play into it you would know about if you had active brain cells while watching games of football. Like...

    LIVE GAME Round 14 v the Panthers

    No it's not "way better," Cronulla have really good attack, their defence is just horrible. It's not as simple as looking at the scoreboard then coming to a conclusion, you actually have to watch football to understand. For example the Warriors have better attack than Penrith, but Penrith have...

    LIVE GAME Round 14 v the Panthers

    Yeah Penrith are the class of the competition on defence, and don't get me wrong they still have good attack, but their attack is probably 3rd or 4th. It's a combination of everything, Cronulla probably have on par attack with Penrith, their defence is just horrible. Cronulla will finish a solid...

    LIVE GAME Round 14 v the Panthers

    Yeah I don't know about that, Cronulla are still a quality side, they'll definitely be there around 5th or 6th come the end of the season. And Melbourne are starting to hit some form again. That defensive performance was still drastically worse than any of those other two games especially...

    LIVE GAME Round 14 v the Panthers

    52-10 and 44-16 are nowhere near as bad as 68-0. They carved us up through the middle yesterday, the likes of which don't even compare to those other games, I'm honestly surprised it wasn't 82-0. Go and watch those other two games then watch the game yesterday, it's not as simple as "look, big...

    LIVE GAME Round 14 v the Panthers

    No our defence through the middle is useless without Twal. Koroisau is still important but Twal is definitely more important.

    LIVE GAME Round 14 v the Panthers

    We're just so useless without Twal, he's easily our best player. Our defence is just trash without him but rock solid when he's on the field. Same as our attack with Doueihi, we need Twal and Doueihi back, and Doueihi with Madden not Luai. We're probably the worst team in the comp without Twal...

    LIVE GAME Round 14 v the Panthers

    Thought I would stop by after being inactive on here for a while. Thought I should remind some people of how absolutely useless and objectively bad of a player Jarome Luai is. We would just be so much better off without him at all. Doueihi would obviously be ideal but since Luai is going to PNG...

    LIVE GAME Round 8 v Raiders

    There's people on here that think he should be playing prop and he isn't a lock and act like he doesn't know how to ball play.

    LIVE GAME Round 8 v Raiders

    Overall not a bad game, I think our attack was still a little clunky and wasn't up to the scratch it had been before last week. Turuva was a beast and Doueihi's running game was A+ as usual, his kicking game was decent also. Still disappointed with Luai but it's a lost cause to even complain...

    OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

    Galvin is the most below average player, there's no way anyone with half a brain cell thinks he's a better player than Talagi.

    OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

    Yeah maybe you're right, it's possible he could work with Madden. I just don't like Doueihi in the centres or giving him less game time coming off the bench as lock and having to give Twal less minutes.

    OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

    They get paid on average $450k a year to win games. They should be content with whatever will get them the results on the field. They seem to do better with Madden on the field. But maybe it could all work out and Luai could be a $1.2 million back seat five-eighth with Madden winning us games...

    Your team vs Raiders

    Yeah I included Jock, I just included him with Doueihi instead. Doueihi won't get his hands on the ball enough at centre and the positional attack is way different at centre than it is playing at 6. It's just what has worked for us so stick with it for now. If anything Doueihi off the bench at...

    OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

    I'm not moving the goal posts, it's just true. Stats don't tell everything, try assists mean nothing when the overall attack is worse. Talagi has played his hand in a lot of tries that aren't recorded as try assists for him on the stat sheet. He doesn't kill his team's attacking momentum like...
