And expect every excuse in the book to come out from the usual suspects if "worst signing in the history of the NRL who has never played prop in his life" Blair plays like he has for the last 3+ years. Some people will never hear a bad word said about Bennett. On the game, the field is...

Nate Myles turns 30 this year, he's hardly a spring chicken. Bennett needs to stop signing oldies.

Milford has been made to do the main thing that caused Barba to be ineffective - bulk up. To play in the halves he had to do it, necessary evil. It remains to be seen how much of a difference it will make to his running game. It might have little effect, it might have a lot, but it will have an...

yeh it was like 6 wasnt it?

Just for clarification - are you saying that he hasn't bulked up to play in the halves? Watching him in the nines its pretty clear that he has. He is noticeably bigger than last year.

Guess that's what being made to play in the halves will do, where youre made to make 20+ tackles a game as opposed to 4-5 at fullback. He was going to have to bulk up, he has, and you cant bulk up a player like him without losing speed/mobility. Thats the trade off, and i hope all the "Milfords...

Before people carry on about how not even the nrl is that incompetently run, lets not forget that they just let a performance enhancing drug scandal involving multiple teams and dozens of players take almost 2 years to come to a conclusion, and then, even after getting an admiral of drug use by...

If what he says is true, the NRL gave the Storm permission to sign players with extra money outside the salary cap because they were trying to make melbourne NRL territory, but then after one year, after contracts had already been signed, they went back and said "ok you can't do that any more...

sounds pretty believable to me. The NRL are a bunch of morons, they have proven that time and time again.

I voted for Priddis purely because I think he is the best Hooker we ever had. Might not have been here long, but damn he was fantastic. Probably should've given it to Walters, but I love Priddis as a player.

Re: Pre-Season I didn't say it was a highlight season, just that with that team had a few things gone our way and made a few minor changes we could've won some premierships. We **just** missed the finals, pretty much purely because Lockyer was out for the last like 5 games, and we had shown...

Re: Pre-Season 2011 is only a few years ago, isn't it? The Broncos from 2009 to 2011 were the best we've looked in a decade IMO. Had a few little things gone our way or a few little changes been made, we could've had 2-3 premierships there.

Re: Pre-Season In at least 2 of those years we were right up there with as good a chance as any of winning the premierships come finals time - 2009 and 2011 specifically. Lockyer doesn't go down and we win the premiership in 2011 IMO, without a shadow of a doubt.

lol @ saying that origins leading try scorer who has also gifted origins second leading try scorer 99% of his tries on a platter "hasn't been that effective at origin level".

The refereeing was poor in the last few years, but it was poor and blatantly favouring nsw the whole series this year.

I don't agree with that. some of us don't really care about international football because it has been a farce for so long. some of us used to get up at 3am to watch the kangaroo tour matches and got to see some bloody good football from both teams for 80 minutes, but the last 15+ years it has...

I think it's far too early to be saying that Milford/Hunt is the QLD future halves pairing. Hunt has had one great year along with 100 nothing great matches before that, and is already 25. Daly Cherry Evans is one of our future halves and is basically the same age, so I can't see Hunt taking his...

does anyone actually think hunt is a better player than Johnson though? Hunt had a stellar season, better than Johnsons, but Johnson is one of the most talented and dangerous players the NRL has ever seen. If he was playing at a team like the Roosters/Bulldogs/Storm/Souths he would be winning...

I don't think you can really count McQueen, Guerra or Gillett to play Wing/Centre seeing as though they are all second rowers. I realise McQueen has played plenty of wing, but he wouldn't be picked there at origin level.
