Kate McClymont and Chris Masters
Two journalists of high calibre.
Yep. I like the family culture we have developing.
Both excellent
For sure Happy. Now, I can't for the life of me think what monumental change could have come about exactly 2 weeks ago ?
Never seen our team defend like that ever, the beginning of that season we ground out wins against Melbourne and twice against the Roosters, then dropped off cause of our depth and talent. But just shows if you can get a group of regular no frills players to buy in anything is possible.
What irks me the most is why in a regular game we get 20 penalties a game and in origin it's 5. Why can't they just ref everything like its origin and kept the whistle in their pocket.
Iv been saying for ages GNR that the trajectory they are going is unsustainable. It is a contact sport where the fittest and biggest compete to be the best. High shots have always been illegal, they happen, I like to think unintentionally but in a contact sport it will happen. These guys are our modern day gladiators who breath competition. Something needs to be done to fix this mess. I can't wait till we get someone in H.Q with common sense who says if mothers don't want their sons and daughters watching blokes fight then watch something else. I'm not for all this Bro culture please don't get me wrong, but let the competitors compete. There has to be a way the league can protect themselves legally while also allowing the players to go as hard as they want. In the past Greene, Spud and the others knew nothing about brain injury. With the info now imo it's up to the players like Graham said its his decision to run the risk of any injury to play the game including brain injury. I don't have the answer but it's nowhere what the N.R.L are doing now esentially wrapping everyone in cotton wool. I want the Biff back, the fighting back, the crunching hits back. I get protecting kickers but I want to see a time where a half runs at a line knowing he is going to get smashed in a tackle, cause the defence have showed him, if you want to run at our line fine but the price your going to pay is getting hit hard, are you willing to pay the toll? All legally of course, but with as much venom as legally possible, let them feel it. Atm they're like koalas protected species.
I don't know the exact penalty count for Game 1 ....but it had to have been close to 10 .....far more than most SOO games
What irks me is the discretion that allows a ref! They can choose when to penalise and to let go. Just penalise according to the rules! The players and coaches will adjust very quickly. Players make errors when under pressure which is normally the result of good play from the opposition.
Don’t worry Rock
They will in the Finals as well.
My Nan could tell JAC was gunna have a career, I couldn’t even remember Rankin’s name.
Are you talking about Leka Halasima? No way Warriors let him go. The kid will be one of the stars of the game within two years. Plus I see he's signed to a 5 year contract so you can forget that. Unless maybe you're thinking Jacob Laban? He doesn't have the same wraps on him.
First game was risk free strategy from both teams,who werent well seperated...and was a viewing dud
You bend bananas?
Yeah, let’s cheer on the ones that think any player who wears our jersey is poison.
Maybe we should get them to cheat the cap for us? Bcoz the people doing for us the last 25 yrs have been horrendous, I reckon they would know a thing or two about it.
