Re: RD 16 17th June WestsTigers vs Storm

I could justify Olam's automatic selection when back to full fitness, but that's only if/when he regains full use of his arm & confidence in using it to fend and push/bump off defenders with it - currently he looks so fragile & is a shell of himself, effectively playing with just one good ar...

Re: RD 16 17th June WestsTigers vs Storm

Really impressed with the efforts of King, Wishart, Jennings, and of course Warbrick. Pezet definitely had a better second half, and Meaney was good as usual, except for his goal kicking. I thought Tui was good with his runs, as was Sims in limited time. Not a bad effort (apart from the first 10-15 ...

Terrible start to the second half. We are asleep.

Re: RD 16 17th June WestsTigers vs Storm

Some very poor, ineffective tackling is costly us dearly and is keeping the Tigers in this. Not overly impressed with Pezet's decision making at crucial times either, but that's what these opportunities are for - hopefully he settles in and has a better second half. Typical inconsistent refereeing a...

Re: RD 16 17th June WestsTigers vs Storm

As Xavier Coates pulls on the Maroons jersey for Game II of Origin, George Jennings, for the first time this year will reprise his role on the Storm wing as he returns from a season-ending injury sustained in Round 1 of the 2022 season. Marion Seve also remains in the centres alongside Reimis Smith...

Re: Round 15 v Sharks at AAMI Park Sun 11 June

How dumb is the NRL, seriously... surely it makes sense for suspensions from NRL club games to affect future NRL club games only, and suspensions from representative games to affect future representative games only. Either way, I guess Welch can't get injured playing for QLD now and potentially bein...

Re: Round 15 v Sharks at AAMI Park Sun 11 June

What's the go with Welch - he copped a 1-game suspension for his "hip drop" , so does he serve that for us or for QLD? If he has to miss both then surely that's a 2-game suspension...?

We are done. This is pathetic. I can't remember using that word so often in a season.

Re: RD 12 - Indigenous Rd @ Dolphins (Suncorp Stadium) Sat 20th May 2023

Rubbish second half - the look on Bellamy's face sums up my feelings on that one. Doesn't help that NAS was mostly a passenger in this game, and Coates has now added another way to bomb a try to his resume.

WTF was Coates doing trying to steal Loiero's try?!? Idiot.

Appalling defence on that second Dolphins try. The last 10 minutes has been atrocious.

Re: RD 12 - Indigenous Rd @ Dolphins (Suncorp Stadium) Sat 20th May 2023

Looking forward to the day that Coates actually starts catching some of the bombs he leaps so high for... he would have to have the worst hands for someone as talented as him under the high ball. Good to see we didn't get pulled into the thuggery of Wayne's/the Dolphins' original game plan, although...

Re: Storm re join NSW cup …North Sydney Bears

My first thought with this is that initially it might be good for us for depth, but we'll just end up giving some talented young NSW players their first crack at NRL, we'll make them better players that attract the attention of other NRL clubs, and then they'll just leave and head back closer to hom...
