Re: Round 11 - Storm vs Sea Eagles

1. I was impressed with the work of Harry Grant. IMO he showed more in his short time that Brandon Smith who did not play at the level I'd hoped for. Some of his passes were not the best. 2. I would agree we lack an effective play maker for whenever Goat's not out there, go forward is non existent. ...

Re: Round 11 - Storm vs Sea Eagles

You ban Cameron and he'll just come back under another alias (whatever happened to tigerr). What the site may need is an ignore button.

Re: Tim Glasby

Although Tim has done the purple jumper great service and is no doubt a great person, I see another Kirk Reynoldson situation in front of me. Thank you Tim for your great work and good luck in your future endeavours.

I think if Goat survived Salary Cap and the McKInnon issues than I seriously doubt the Sydney based hysteria would sway his choice.

Re: Cameron Smith - Rep Retirement

I know everything is supposition, but my feeling is the retiring from rep maybe started as long back as last years SOO series. The fact that I believe the sternum issue may have been much worse than what was released to the public. This means maybe another 18 months for the storm that is good news f...

Re: If Cam is suspended

I think it will be option one but personally I'd love to say option three.

Re: Round 10 - Storm vs Titans

[quote="Cameron"]Croft's tackling (technique and intensity) is poor and he will need to improve it if he gets to the first team. Claiming other people are bad tackers does not refute that point.[te/quote] You are also making the assumption that Croft's technique is as good as it will ever ...

Re: Round 9 - Dragons vs Storm

This is also the same mob who thought they were the rightful premiers and thought they were still a better team in 2000. Then we whooped them 70-10. Cold, wet and miserable day that was. Bastards even made me put my umbrella down... >:D Can't remember the weather...the only drops I recall falling w...

Re: Round 9 - Dragons vs Storm

On thing I've noticed about the Dragons is that Sims has been putting big hits on the oppositions no 7. Good example what he did to Cooper Cronk last week and I have no doubt it has worked to good effect. Not sure how well it will work with the many storm halves ( Jacks/Goat/Billy/Eddy and to a less...

Re: 2014 Official thread and signing news

Funny that the Courier Mail is running a story about Bellamy potentially leaving us and going to Brisbane next year. What a coincidence!

Re: Round 6 - Storm vs Knights

That is an indisputable fact but my reasoning ( although nowhere is insightful as Cameron's) is thus: a. We all agree that our kicking game and game management has .... sucked. I believe this is one of the many reasons Croft is out, b. Game management is nowhere as good as it was last year for obvio...

I feel confident enough to say if we actually hang on to the ball for once, it's entirely possible!
