And the excuse given by the match review panel in an attempt to justify this crap.... [quote]While the NRL competition committee will consider a ban on lifting tackles at the end of the season, match review chief Michael Buettner said players could only be charged if their head or neck was likely to...

In my heart of hearts I don't think a head clash should he penalised. Agreed. But neither should it result in a turnover of possession for a knock on, the kid was out on his feet, or were the numerous video replays to see if he was out before he released the ball!!! Then the two mongrel acts by the...

I believe the Storm did it in 1999.....

No. We need size and the ability to tackle tonight, and a full 17 man rotation, not two possibly 50-50 5/8's.

...and another thing, even if they'd won last night they'd have still finished 9th.

Love this from Cartwright: Asked about the call, a distraught Cartwright said: ‘‘It just cost us our season, didn’t it? I’m not a wealthy man, I’m not going to sit here and ... How he came up with the decision, I don’t know, I really don’t know. The refs on the field were shocked, the whole crowd we...

And Craig Smith was the best (most natural) kicker of them all so far IMHO

You misspelled "released".

^This^ 100% agree

I was only able to listen to this one on the wireless......the commentators mentioned several times the reason badger held up play was so he could get a replay on the previous play (i think to determine if it should be a dropout or 20m tap) I'm pretty sure the replay didn't actually happen though. ...

Maybe CB's been a bit conservative injury-wise knowing that we have Manly next Monday night and a ridiculously short turnaround against the Roosters on the Friday night?? I don't understand why Badger was holding us up when we wanted a quick tap, everyone of our players was behind the 20 and all th...

Don't forget O'Neill and Chambers, they must be off contract soon? and would be high on the list to retain?

A couple of years ago we gave a young guy a chance in the position and he turned into a premiership winning player. I'd like to see that happen again, rather than pick somebody up from outside the club. Disappointed (and a little surprised, too) to see him go but good luck to him. The Dragons have ...

I can understand Gareth taking such a lucrative offer, and I can imagine how hard it must be to turn those dollars down when a footballers career is a relatively short one. My thoughts on Widdop though are that with probably 2 more seasons alongside Coops and the rest of the Storm squad under the w...
