Radio said that all Origin players were given the option to take the day off. The others declined. I don't mind Haas taking it up, helps heal the niggling injury.
Sign him for next year on $200k and tell everyone in the squad that he deserves the extra (above minimum wage) for always putting the club first and doing his job without complaining. I don't care if we go through 2025 without needing him, he's earned it from his time here.
He said himself post-game that he still doesn't have much strength in that arm, but my assumption is that the risk of re-injury is minimal. The strength will come back pretty quickly with weights, he'll be better every week.
I genuinely think the on-field refs are the figurehead and most of the decisions come from the bunker. That's why we still only have one ref on the field. We don't need a second ref on the field, we already have one in a secret off-site bunker with 15 angles on video feed, and with zero...
Glad I'm not the only one who caught the ref talking about a send-off in to the mouthpiece. Which of course means the call came from the bunker. The game-manaaging force in the sky that decided to not enforce rules correctly in order to not ruin the entertainment.
Bailey's been suspended. Playing in the lower grades where it's every man for himself, in the centres. He trains a highly structured style with the NRL squad, then on the weekend plays in zero structure where it's all 1980's elbows and knees and cheap shots. He got carried away and roughed...
At this point, once again you're asking stupid questions to get a reaction so I'm not going to dignify it with an explanation. I will, however, call out how stupid the question is by simply "no".
WHAT?!?!?!? Not surprised. He was fucking disgraceful and even if he didn't strip that ball, he should have known that if a ball is lost in a 3-man tackle it will always be called a strip. He should have just not got involved with the play at all, he has no game awareness.
Walters got praise because he took the game personally. Sloan decided to be a dipshit and wouldn't give us the ball when it was a turnover, Billy made it clear we weren't going to cop that shit. The rest of the game he made it his business to let the opposition know we weren't going to be...
Because he can't catch shit when he is running hard. If he spent as much time improving his handling as he does looking in the mirror, he might be more effective.

FMD we had 37% possession in the first half. Mozer looked good but only because we stopped dropping the ball early in the count and the ref started to even out the 6-1 penalty count.
It's not just having about half of our salary cap...
