100% this is on injuries, not Kev. I don't care that the going wisdom is "next man up, they just have to do their job". If that truly was the case, get rid of the salary cap, all players are equal on paper and should be able to do an equal job should injuries occur. Which is, of course...

Journalist? You need to be semi literate and do some sort of leg work before you open your mouth. Parker is, like Tallis, a cheap salty opinion offerer.

Parker is full of shit regarding Cobbo not being injured. Trew confirmed that he is beat up. Not a mental thing this time, just physically fucked. Playing injured, needing to be needled. The bye has allowed him to go home and recuperate.

Not repeatedly. Otherwise they just go back to the first knock-on anyway. They are supposed to wait a few minutes before dropping it, preferably early in the tackle count with no pressure on them. That way they are forced to defend constantly and get fatigued super fast, so idiots (fans and the...

I suspect it's not a dig just at Slater personally, I'd say it's more to do with Qld's tactics in the past. Nate Myles repeatedly tackling Farah by leading with the top of his head comes to mind.

NSWRL like their thugs.

IIRC, Crighton wasn't even properly signed at the start of last year. They had him tacked on as a development player or something because the NRL wouldn't let them register the proper contract because they'd be over the cap if doing so. But then, somehow, because of "mental health" reasons he...

The real Tristan Sailor stood up.... and spoiler alert... it was the same guy all along.

Past the horizontal. Send off and 6 weeks on the sideline.

Wait, he's the coach's son? How has this not been made public?

The amount of times I read your shit and just think " 'Kay man, whatever..." (with an eye roll), and then see the username. Well chosen, bravo.

I can picture them all sitting in a little circle braiding each other's hair, with Taupau giving the others instructions in a motherly fashion.

I was fucking pissed after the game, but looking back, it's no real shock. The backup players aren't NRL starters for a reason. If they didn't have those lapses and/or errors in them, they'd be starting for us or another club. We're short on depth everywhere, but it's not just the injuries to...

Well shit.

The money they get from fines is **** all compared to the cost to run the game. But instead of players just racking up fines, they should come with, say, 50 points. That way the second offence comes with a suspension regardless.

The more I reflect, the more 4 weeks seems bullshit. It was classed as "reckless" which we all claimed it should be, but Grade 2? It was high, it was a shoulder charge (not just an arm), and it was late. Like criminal charges, maybe they need to stack the relevant multiple charges for the one...

10 years ago, having a player gone for 10 would mean you'll concede 1-2 tries and be absolutely gassed. Probably 80-90% chance you'd lose the game. But now the fucking refs "manage" the game, the calls all go towards the team with 12 so that the spectacle doesn't get ruined. So there is now very...

We know how it ends. They declare they'll be tough on it, and somehow a Bronco will do something incredibly minor and be the one who gets an example made of them.

I just love the fact that on the weekend they were asking as many Maroons players as they could where Cobbo would play. They ask Hunt and he says that he's been practicing in the middle. Cue laughter. So they ask Collins and he says that he's been working on his timing to take the first run...

Is that when they debuted Morris on the wing and Lockyer just toyed with him?
