Re: We need some fresh faces

We don't drive 2 hours for each home game to suffer a longer 2 hour drive home after a loss. I'm working on maintaining my unswerving (and I mean unswerving) support of the side by considering the fact that if a couple of decisions had gone our way, we could be sitting 4-5 on the ladder. Yes, some c...

Yes, add Nelson to the list. He has been impressive each home game at least. Can bust a tackle, has got some pace and defensively fairly strong.

Re: Forward Pack

I have been impressed with Christian Welch. He's got some good size and seeing him rally the troops during the NYC games, edited. That description is not appropriate. Thank you

Re: Benji Marshall seeks return to NRL

And where there's an attention seeker with a twitter account there's a twit! I suppose on the law of averages, he will get one right eventually, but, I'm not holding my breath waiting. I'll give the Mole credit for one thing, he has a bloody good strike rate with 1st try scorer calls. I wish I put ...

That's the way I saw it. Had our chances and didn't capitalise on it.

I cringe when I see Young crowd in every time. Credit 2 Raiders tries to this habit today.

My God....you could have driven a B-Double through the hole Vaughan went through to score.

NEVER, EVER GIVE UP! And to those Storm fans that started leaving with 15 mins to go, fairweather supporters get what they deserve.

Re: A Transitional Phase Now?

Let's not forget that if that penalty wasn't given against us last week and we used our golden point expertise (tongue in cheek) to get the win over the Titans, we'd be sitting atop the table. In my humble opinion, the chances of opening the season with an extended winning run is getting slimmer by ...

Re: McLean Report

Well done to Ben Ikin & Paul Kent on NRL360 tonight. Got right up NRL and Judiciary about Falloon & Thompson tackles on the weekend. Also highlighted the McKinnon tackle and "first point of contact" with the ground. All showed how big a farce this issue has become and the "lin...

Re: A Transitional Phase Now?

Coops is still a gun too, but this year has had a tendendany to play well one week and poorly the next. I sorry, but don't follow your logic here. Coops missed round 1, collected 3 Dally M votes in both rounds 2 & 3, and I read he copped 2 votes against the Titans. Excuse me if this info is inc...

Re: ROUND 5 vs TITANS

The disappointing thing about losing today was we could have been topping the ladder (playing like crap, mind you) yet we lose and now sit in 9th place. I can see this as one of the toughest seasons for ladder position for some very long time. There will be no time for complacency, or we'll cop it i...

Re: McLean Report

What pisses me off big time is the identical tackle on Norrie in the 1st minute of the game. Any suspensions? Of course not! Emotion has completely biased this whole unfortunate episode.
