Re: R20 - Brisbane vs Melbourne

We definitely got the better of a shocking decision with Hoffy's try. Easily a penalty against Billy for the challenge on the Bronco defender.

The way I read the article it's $700k over 3 years, I hope I'm right.

Garbutt to Broncos

I see News is reporting Mitch is off to the Broncos on a 3 year deal.

I certainly hope we have a signing or two up our sleeve to cover these losses.

Alternatively, are we going to promote the likes of Britt, Welch and NAS, which is not a bad way to go.

Re: R18 - Melbourne vs Canterbury-Bankstown

Josh Reynolds facing 3-5 weeks out. Bonus for this week, but disappointing because we won't be able to abuse the grub.

Re: Origin III

What difference would an unbroken arm have made to the series? Was also impressed with Will's debut. Looks like we'll regularly lose another player in coming Origin series.

Yes Scooter there were, but when 2 Manly players have been named, there has to be a 3rd one lurking and my guess is one without a huge level of commitment.

Re: Melbourne Storm implicated in betting scandal...

NRL Gossip says Storm player that joined the club this year is facing a fine. I think we can narrow the field to the Scum connection.

Re: what do wehave to do to make finals

Keep in mind that we have beaten Manly (twice), Panthers and South's, 3 supposed premiership contenders. Obviously, if we're on our game we can match it with the best. We can be fine tuned for the run to the finals with the disruption of Origin out of the way. It all starts this week against the Dogs.

Re: Ben Hampton signs with Cronulla

Personally, I would have thought the Upper Kumbuckta fourths would have been a better option to play with. Sure the kid might want to play regular first grade, but the NRL basket case?????

Carney Class

How many chances does the NRL have to give a moron?
I couldn't support a club that has this type on their player roster.
Thank God for our system down here.

Sydney Morning Herald is touting Coops might be a late inclusion for Monday night. Bloody handy if he is.

Re: Rd 15 vs Parramatta

And although Norrie is a try scoring freak, the move to the bench, hopefully might be the start of the move out of first grade.

If this is the case, surely he must play at the expense of Fonua, most likely.

Re: Rd 16 v St George Illawarra Dragons

Inglis#3 while on form Mann gets picked ahead of Fonua. Unfortunately due to second tier salary cap issues if Chambers comes back I think we may have to leave Mann out. Well this isn't good at all. Sadly, correct. My understanding is that we will now only be able to pick him to cover injuries. It a...
