Is Jake Friend going to be put on report for his spear tackle on Damien Cook? Just here watching and discussing with my mate and I said that doesn't bode well for us. My theory being is I don't think there's a hope in hell Friend gets off on that and if they rub him out they'll have to rub Bill out...

The Melbourne Storm are on a hiding to nothing on this one. If they successfully get Billy off by using evidence of other tackles that weren't penalised or were cleared at the judiciary we'll get crucified by the media, Was just watching Fox sports and they said we can't use similar examples that w...

I'm hoping to go down for the game, and it'll be my first time doing so. Does anyone have any tips on where to look to stay, and how to access the ground? Ideally I'm hoping to use public transport as much as possible, but I don't know my way around Sydney too well. I've been fortunate enough to se...

Now the mighty Pies have also got through to the big dance and already securing a ticket for that I won't one flying up until the morning of the game. We've always gone on the Saturday and in a perfect world I wouldn't be flying on Sunday for the risk of delays but obviously have no choice if I want...

I don't think anyone should be concerned about him missing the game fwiw. Agreed. I'm quietly confident he'll get off after fighting it The front on shot shows his arm outstretched as if in the motion of tackling and in the rules of defining a shoulder charge it says "The player ddid/does not ...

If reports just coming in from Sydney now are to believed then Gallen has been ruled out

NAS on the bench does not fill me with confidence I don't think hes fit enough or fully recovered but it has to be done I agree to a point somewhat but the reward is far greater than any risk (if any) You can reduce NAS's minutes to ease him back from his lack of game time in recent weeks, but he c...

What's wrong with the other thread? The other thread was made last week before we knew who our opponent was and was in regards to what the line up may or may not be against the Sharks/Panthers. It's now been confirmed who we're playing so given the enormity of the game I thought a new thread was ap...

And here we go again... While the Sharks have pretty much had the wood on us in the last couple of years, I'm quietly confident that we'll get the job done. With the week off for us to rejuvenate and get over some niggles and with them losing Graham for the season and Gallen/Lewis under injury cloud...

Most likely they will given it's the prelim but how fit they will be is a whole other thing....

Sharks just hold on but they did pick up a couple injuries A couple of huge injuries, especially on top of Graham going down last week. I can't stand Gallen but he's a tough mother and for him to leave the field it must be more than a 'corked shoulder' as they said. Same with Lewis, as tough as the...

Drinkwater was good in his debut but it's a different story playing NRL week-in-week-out. We saw it with Brodie's fantastic showing last year and his average games to start this year. My preference: Hughes 1, Munster 6, Croft 7. If we keep Jacks in the post-Smith era he could play a role off the be...

A real head scratcher Yes and no. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever and pretty much other major professional sports organisation in the world would put such a huge game up against another code in the same city let alone directly across the road. That said it's the NRL we're dealing with so stupi...

It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so tragic. They were virtually identical but the MRC found a difference. Not a slight difference either. TWO GRADES APART. F*ck the NRL, honestly... :roll: The funniest/worst thing is that the clueless Rorters dickheads on Facebook and the like are trying to justi...

Mitchell has been slapped with a wet lettuce leaf and received a grade 1 dangerous contact charge and with his carry over points he'll miss a week if he doesn't fight it. Now, can anyone tell me what the difference was between he and Chambers' who received a grade 3 dangerous contact charge? That wa...
