Re: Contracts June 30

If the Titans are willing to pay Webby (and I don't even know how $$s can be discussed b4 30 June) that much - then good luck to them and Webby. I'll just wait to see them go down in flames and replace the Rabbits on the bottom of the table.  How can a club be prepared to pay so much more and not sa...

Re: Inglis out for 2 weeks ... including SoO2

I'd reckon 2 weeks for a back stress fracture is rather optimistic.  Could be up to 4.  I can certainly see why Bellamy didn't give him too much game time last year.  He's only 19 - still very much a growing kid.  Played 13 games and an Origin straight - the body is prolly not used to First Grade in...

Re: Salary cap issues

If I was Kiddy, I will take this as a backhand way of saying - YOU DON'T HAVE A FUTURE IN THIS CLUB BEYOND NEXT YEAR . Very sad it has come to this.  Kiddy has been playing as well I've seen him play at a consistent level and has served the club well.  With Hilly going and sure as hell Kiddy will no...

Re: Slater may miss 2 weeks

Like several that cringed when Bill made that tackle, I too actually thought Bill was going to be in trouble.  It may appear innocuous but it was a lifting tackle. It's just simply bad technique.  Bill made no effort to drive in the tackle - just up ending his legs.  I think someone has to spend som...

Re: Storm v Panthers

If I were all of youse, I wouldn't be to cocky.... look what happened last week.  Panthers have proved that they can win without Gower. Just depends on the boys backing up and what attitude everybody turns up in.  Just hope the boys haven't peaked too early and continue to improve.  If that's the ca...

Re: Finally a friday night home game

Boy, some of you are just to quick for me..... :lol: :lol:

It was up on the NRL website... I know, I had to look twice to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks.  This is the bestest outcome.... FTA home game, don't have to wait for Foxtel replays.  WOOOHOOOO!!!  ;D ;D ;D

Re: Round 11: Melbourne v Manly

We had absolutely NOTHING in attack close to the line.  Stevie's try came mid-field in the ruck and MG's try was from Kiddy's bust (I think).  We lacked direction and creativity all night; last play kicks and attacking kicks all very ordinary. We just had no strike!!!   I would have expected Hill to...

Re: Waldron speaks out at NRL Bias.

I suppose on the positive note, it must mean we're able to afford the $15K fine.  Can't be doing too  badly.........?? ;) ;)

Re: Friday nite game

I suppose what I meant is FTA game.  I do agree, it's a drag if it's not a home game cause it will be delayed on Fox.

So let me rephrase - When was the last time we had a FTA home game???  ;D ;D ;D

Friday nite game

You have to wonder what we have to do to get a Ch Nein game.  Top of the table clash, does Ch Nein care?  Don't answer - not that they have in the past anyway. Just hope the boys keep the form and confidence up and stay up there.  That way, they can't ignore us forever.  Last year we got 1 miserable...

I am just as  :o :o :o and  >:( >:( about the whole thing but sadly I think it will be 9 weeks. Maybe cope an early plea but fight the grade but then the Judiciary has always been very pig-headed and a law unto themselves and add a siege mentality - I THINK WE HAVEN'T A HOPE IN HELL.

It doesn't let up - Round 3-8

After watching the first 2 rounds, it's clear, some teams are firing and some not.  Warrior's and Rooster's clearly are not. So next week against the Cowboys in Townsville will be first REAL test judging by who the in-form teams are.  Cowboys, Tigers, Panthers, Knights, Dragons (although the Dragons...

Week 2 unfolding

I guess will be playing in a GHOST stadium but with plenty of noise. Up until now I've been holding off planning a trip hoping that NRL might do the same but Big League has a paragraph that said it was only a once off. I'd reckon that's a cop out. The precedence has been set; unless it's moved, NRL ...

Well sorry to rain on your parade SW. More likely to be Tigers now.
