There was no possible argument he could've made. Annesley sided with Cleary but it wasn't exactly clear cut. He basically made the point that since it was sent up as a try and since the contact didn't impact the situation (in his view) then the on-field decision should have been sustained. He...

The issue with Walters is that he was completely out of answers. When the Broncos missed the finals in 2022, it was somewhat forgiveable because they had Reece Walsh coming in 2023 and that would instantly solve a critical issue at the club. Similar to 1991 when the Broncos missed the finals...

Who are you talking about?

Yes and in doing so, Madge made it clear that he thought he could get away with that dog shot. One thing for Pangai Jr to flop on an hour late, another to make it a key talking point before the game and coach your centre to pull a Taylan May and ruin the game.

Madge told on himself with the Taylan May whataboutism. It was clearly a bigger focus and they grubbed it up massively.

Big League will be on sale in limited numbers at NRL Fan Fest on Friday and at Accor Stadium on game day. Source Lame.

It depends on the context. For instance when it came down to Paul Green and Kevin Walters, I always thought Kevie was the better option since he'd be given more leeway by the fans and the media since he was a club legend and you could trust him to put the interests of the club before anything...

Wait what? https://www.nrl.com/news/2024/09/29/big-league-is-back/ Oh my god! We're so back, boys!

If you're going to penalise gamesmanship in one instance, then you have to penalise it in another. Cleary didn't make a genuine attempt to compete for the ball and only puts himself in position to obstruct the oncoming chase. Katoa held the ball with two hands and maintained contact with his...

It wasn't the outside shoulder like Butler explained but could see an argument for it being chest contact which is illegal. Still think it's a defensive decision, but refs will side with the defence 9/10. Then again, I don't think you should be penalised for hitting a bloke in the head when he...

I didn't expect the Sharks to still be in the game with 20 to go, but Penrith just far too classy where it mattered. Despite nursing a shoulder injury, Cleary has brought his A-game this finals series and it's going to set up a fantastic showdown between him and the New Zealand halfback Hughes...

Pretty amazing to see how it all started for Logan Morris and how it's ended up for him. Not to sound like a broken record, but that's all about building an effective pathway and system.

Onya guys lap it up @Sproj @winslow_wong @broncos4life @Bucking Beads and all the other long suffering Brisbane fans. Outside of a nervous start, they never looked headed and kept their composure through out. When the game was there to be won, they were ruthless and took the Swans well and...

There's no possible argument that they could make. Forceful contact to the head without any attempt at all by the defender to lower contact. In the modern game, he's lucky it's not a send off.

Has anyone other than FG linked him to the club? Not a horrible suggestion mind you but he doesn't have the experience or the convictions.

Bridesmaid, never a bride. I also have to question his decision to sign on with Parramatta in 2023. The writing was on the wall, he should have backed himself to find another gig. Still plenty to like and he can point to the number of players who came to him at Parramatta and became better...

I think we all knew this would play out like it has since Kevie was appointed. Kev's name has been tossed up as a potential Broncos coach since he basically retired in 2001. In fact, he first coached the Broncos all the way back in 2003 to a 4-40 loss against the Bulldogs. I don't think...

Finally got around to a replay of the last quarter between the Cats and the Lions. I was under the impression the Lions ran away with it but they really had to win the game twice. Did Zac Bailey really repeat the same mistake he made against the Pies earlier in the season? Thank god Ah Chee and...

I felt disgusted writing it, but that's what I've taken out of every Cronulla victory against the Storm. They bullied the bullies and Melbourne imploded so badly that even Smith was sent to the sin bin. I also think it's the current meta. Your halves are never onside so you shut down the...

In 2012 he was coming off a great season where he scored 13 tries and that was coming off a promising 2011 where he scored 11. His form peaked there. Could make the same case for Te'o in 2012 honestly. I don't think he ever found the same purple patch he had at the back-end at Souths.
