anyone going to brooky this week that can write a journal up?
Normally yes i would be going to this game but unfortunately, at this stage i will not be able to make it due to lack of transportation and therefore lack of funds  :x (long story). But, I will be travelling to Melbourne for State of Origin 3 and will then be going to the Storm v Broncos game and would be more than happy to write a journal for the 2 games and also for the Storm v Knights game at Newcastle as i will definately be going to that one. :D

I'll be there and I'll give it a go for real this time.
I wrote something for the Roosters game but it sounded like rubbish so I didn't bother with posting it.

Also, rubbish or not I'll have a lot to say about the Parra game in Rd 14. ;)

Thanks for finding the post Kingy! :) I'm hoping to be able to spend some time revamping parts of the site in the next week or so - enabling more people to contribute to reviews and previews of games.

Even if someone doesn't volunteer to contribute articles, I loved the "Post of the Week" idea on the old forum - maybe if you see any posts worthy of front page status, you could simply add them to the list of articles on the frontpage Buzz.

Just an idea.

Hmm - been a while since we had a post of the week award - might be time to bring back some of the old awards! Stay tuned for some inventive silliness!

SW - it is a struggle to find people bold enough to express themselves in an open and honest manner. Most seem to want to laude Scott Hill as the greatest player ever born! ;)

Right- finally getting on top of some issues. Firstly - If you've logged in correctly (I'll explain), you'll see a new menu called Contribute - and under that is Submit Content. If you'd like to submit a Preview - or Review, go here and fill it out - then it gets reviewed and approved.

If you CAN'T see it - then you're not logged in yet! Apparently the discussion software is not case sensitive - so if you log in with "buzz" and you registered with "Buzz" it will still log you in - but the parent software is case sensitive so it will not recognised "buzz" as "Buzz" - therefore you won't get any access rights to the parent software areas! Makes sense? If it doesn't I've got a workaround but I have to change the source code which I'll do at some later point (this weekend hopefully!).

Okay - the hack for uppercase / lowercase is in there. You will most likely need to logout / login to experience the change. You'll know it works when you see a menu called Contribute on the left hand side

I wrote a review of yesterdays game but it much more Parra-centric than you might like, as such I don't know where to post it - under contribute, under the Parra v Storm match thread or in its own thread.

I have plenty of photos as well.
