+1 I don't want to over analyze the game nor bring it down to one moment/player... but this was the play that really stood out for me the most. The fact that no one desperately dived for the ball either was a worry. We score there and its game over.

Ok bleeding obvious I know we got the young guns in Deardon and Sull but are we in position to get a halfback at all? I mean we could probably challenge the comp next year/2-3 years Surely we have a good window before milf gets too old?

Nah They intro-ed to stop deliberate kicks dead = i.e when you are versing slater, inglis etc I actually like it - the punishment for missing field goals is harsh, bombs have to be mpre accurate etc etc

100% and has always been that way whenever QLD didn't have the players. I started watching origin form 98 (97 I watched the SL one) - and before the 10 year run; 98 - won 99 - drew 2000 - got smashed 2001 - langer 2002 - drew 2003 - got smashed 2004 - got smashed 2005 - got smashed 2000-2005...

Taking a realist's angle here... Look obviously this year we will be lucky to make the 8, I hope we do so it gives our young guns more experience in finals footy. The way I see it though - as many have already stated... I think we have to bite the bullet with Macca. Unfortunately the game...

POST of the day surely HAHAHAHAHH

I've just come back after being away a long time... 6 years ago this was posted and honestly nothing much has changed in terms of administration HAHAHAHHAHA. The Media coverage has improved greatly though, especially foxsports!

I agree about the product - as you said 'the sky isn't falling' but the NRL promotes mediocrity and we shouldn't let things like this slide IMO.

Exactly, a fundamental error like this in an elimination final - I cannot cop. The fact that the '6' so called FAIL-SAFE methods all FAILED. How is that acceptable? How can they all fail? It doesn't make sense... it means the people who were in charge of the 'fail-safe' methods were sleeping on...

Do you think Thaiday will be picked? Apart from 1 Origin game this year - he's been solid at best and I think that is being generous. I don't think Thaiday should be picked on reputation anymore. Not a fan of Jennings but he deserves his spot, esp since Hodges is out. The only Bronco should be...

I tipped Souths Manly Cowboys so 1/3 and I'm tippin the Knights. Disgusting 7th tackle try in the cows game though. I want to see the Knights win - would love to see WB win it at 3 clubs... it won't happen. I'm backing the Souths... too many x factor players, confidence and flair. If GI...

Personally, I'm not the biggest fat on Sticky BUT: 1) Roosters - Even when you have a good team, it is still hard to win a comp, not to mention make the GF. As many experts in the game have said before --> so many things have to go 'right' in the year. They won 02, made 03 and 04. He did some...

I have to have a rant about this - A fundamental error such as a 7th tackle try is totally unacceptable. I cannot cop a "refs made a human error" for something like this. The fact that it will most likely just be mulled over and accepted (by the administration) makes it worse. IMHO I think this...

It's just sad you get better coverage overseas than in Australia. It's just another example of how poor the NRL is run on the administration side of things. I'm not trying to sound like a dickhead but honestly, straight up - the way the NRL administration run the game (and the way it has been...

Unfortunately that is the way it goes in Sydney. The irony is as someone mentioned - the coverage is actually BETTER overseas for expats! You CAN select which game to stream etc. The options are fantastic and they are in HD! Obviously this all has to do with TV rights logistics etc. However...

Toughest one yet but I have to with Renouf~ honestly saw Sailor more and loved him more... but... as a kid, I used to think Renouf was like GOD... I just remember him being lightning quick and scoring bucketloads... definitely my favourite back as a little kid. Fittler or Daley?

I did say the 'big three' but sure - why not?

This is what I would have done in today's world in their situation. 1) Suck it up and put on a show for the media - don't give them what they want. Belmore sports ground - open the doors, let fans in etc. have a few quiet ones, interviews, formalities bla bla bla - the papers can report on the...

I thought so at the time as well, even though I actually AGREE with the no try decision - I just didn't like the fact it played a big factor. However,I'll take it gladly... we WERE the better team on the night... in fact, I don't think the scoreline reflected our performance TBH (our execution a...

Immortals has to be taken in house and not judged by journos. Apparantly they are trying to make this happen?
