Re: Adam Blair Warriors Interest

good as gone I reckon,

He is very popular in NZ, and the warriors will be prepared to pay him a lot more than us.

Re: Andrew Johns has stood down as NSW Assistant Coach

Putting aside whether Timana did or didnt do the right thing ,  for a moment

I can not believe a coach would call an opposition player a black c**t in 2010 to his players, and obviously think that is acceptable

what is this, hicksville, what a dill.

Can rugby league find any more ways to shoot itself in the foot?

Re: And you thought our memberships were expensive?

That is expensive,

I think they may struggle , they cant seem to sign one current big name player.

Re: Greg Inglis in talks with Essendon FC

i can see both sides of the argument where you would rather see Greg play if its not with us . i dont like the idea of our top league players going to AFL either , But if Greg says he doesnt want to play against the Storm , he would rather play another sport if forced out , Well maybe that is what  ...

Re: Phil gould the only half decent commentator

Good article , Gould has always said what he thinks , and sometimes what he thinks upsets people, that is why he has enemies, The game is in a mess, yes , the Storm ( individuals ) did wrong, But all the  people left at the club are the victims , the NRL itself , has as much to blame for this mess.

Re: ROUND 12 AVERAGE CROWDS

yep  what the stats dont show you ,unlike the Sydney clubs, Melbourne dont get the benefit of the opposition teams fans boosting their numbers , Something that always gets overlooked when the Sydney media have harped on about the poor crowds in Melbourne.

Hayne shouldnt get suspended,Thurston sprayed a ref and he got nothing,let it all go The Eagle you aren't making that comment with your NSW jersey on are you? He has carry over points, if I remember rightly, so if charged he will miss State of Origin II. By the way, I thought of you (because of you...

Re: Greg Inglis in talks with Essendon FC

Some players shop their name around to bluff their club to increase their value,

I reckon Greg and his management are playing mind games with the NRL, if you force me out of the Storm, Im going to AFL, I am not leaving Melbourne to play at another NRL club.

Good on him.

Re: DISGRACEFUL SYDNEY MEDIA

That article is a disgrace , who was it written for, primary school kids,

I love the game of rugby league , but there are some areas of the sport ,( like the media) where you just cringe ,

No wonder the AFl think the NRl is 20 years behind it .

Re: WIDDOP CALLED UP TO THE ENGLAND SQUAD

Yeah we all love Billy , but with the dramas, and a ready made replacement in Widdop, Its tough to think about, but when you cut the emotion out , maybe he is the player who could be let go, I havn't made my mind up on that, but it is a realistic option, someone has to go.

Re: Waldron has explosive tell-all book in works

Part of me doesn't want to go near the book so not to contibute to Waldron making some money on this,

And the other part wants to read it because it could be bloody interesting to see what really went on behind the scenes.

Re: Storm v Eels....

Best way of dealing with the crowd is to win the game,

not sure if I would like to be a storm fan in that crowd though ,

will be ugly in the stands , the boguns will run amok.

Re: Blair to Bulldogs?

I actually think Stewart when fit is a very good player,all seems along time ago now though , When he was at his best i thought Slater was slightly better, and so did the selectors, But there has to be serious question marks over his future now , his body is brittle, and he has a serious court case ...
