Re: Origin: Bellamy must go

The NSW selectors (possibly including Bellamy, not sure how much say he has in selections) need to go. They don't have enough strength or faith to pick a genuine five eighth. Lyon doesn't even want to play five eighth. Gidley would probably be on the bench if I picked the team, yet he is captain. Ha...

Re: WE HAVE NEW NUMBER 1 TOOL JOURNO

Now the tool is running a blog on the DT website saying how Bellyache shouldn't be NSW coach because he only won the flags because we were over the cap. Are they ever going to talk about anything else!! Bec Wilson said a similar thing on Sunrise yesterday. She said that Hasler should replace Bellam...

On paper the NSW forward pack looks better than Qld...

Re: WE HAVE NEW NUMBER 1 TOOL JOURNO

Quote from Phil Rothfield from the daily Telecrap I’m not sure he’d be Origin coach if Melbourne had spent the same amount on players as all other clubs. How many comps would Dessie Hasler have won if he had Inglis and Slater on top of his normal roster. Craig Bellamy got the job because he has bee...

Re: HUGE SURGE IN NRL CROWDS

Refers to the data in the State of the gAme release by the NRL... wonder when they collated the data?  Maybe at that stage we were below still? Membership numbers are as at 19 April, 2010. You would think with them releasing the data a month later than 19 April that the data would be more up to date.

Re: Aiden Tolman gone to the Bulldogs

I am disappointed that Aiden is leaving, but as others said it was almost inevitable, particularly after the scandal. Aiden was playing well this year, and if he didn't get injured he would have played in the Country side and probably be in the NSW side. Thanks Aiden for your efforts with the Storm ...

40-0 Grapple that!!! Not a choker by any means I always said to a mate of mine that is a Manly fan that Orford choked under "scoreboard pressure." When behind Orford always had a tendency to want to score off the next play instead of building a set of six and back to back sets of six. Unf...

Noa I would assume that Rory would be utility bench player considering Hinchcliffe will take over the hooking role in Cam's absence.

Australia V New Zealand

I see from the Foxtel EPG and from the TV Guide in the Herald Sun that Channel None is televising the test match live on Friday night. This I suppose is not unusual considering they like televising matches live against the gate. In this instance it shouldn't effect the crowd much because most people...

Re: Storm v Cowboys....

Another great win. I think Craig has said to the boys as long as you keep with our usual defensive structure, I am happy for you to have some fun in attack. It is a bit like Parra at the end of last year they thought they couldn't make the finals so they threw the ball around a bit. I agree with oth...
