I don't care if it makes me a sore loser. Screwed by the refs! also Hoffman, Copley and pretty much everyone except Hunt

The other thing that always led me to believe it was a change forced by injury is the fact that it happened so late. The whole pre-season had gone by and the change came at the last second. As much as we give Hook shit for being a bad coach from time to time ... he isn't a total buffoon. Hook...

I think Scott Prince was just an insurance signing. he was available and cheap and provided some good backup in case of injures or in case Wallace reached new depths of hopelessness. Signing Prince had no down side for us really - a decent elder statesmen for a pittance. although I do agree...

Re: Phil Guild must be sacked by Channel 9 a commentator doesn't have to be objective. its the ABC that has it written into their guidelines to be even handed and tell both sides of the story. Everyone else can pretty much do what they want, especially sports commentators. they are in the...

like here: Error Page I was certain I wasn't imagining things. only a week out from Round 1 the talk was about Hoffman/Hodges at fullback I don't know ... maybe Hook really did yank Hoffman out of there because he was bad but that seems a bit revisionist. I definitely remember the main issue...

Hoffman was playing at fullback with Norman at five-eight all through preseason. it wasn't until the last minute (after Copley got injured) that Hoffman shifted to the wing.

Damn. I forgot how shit this feels. ruined my week

that's not what happened though ... or certainly not how I remembered it. all the way into the lead up of 2013, the fullback spot was Hoffman's and Norman was set for playing in the halves. The reason Norman switched back to fullback was because Yow Yeh had an injury setback and then Copley...

just tried to watch the Eels - Dogs game. that was a painful experience. It has almost convinced me that we shouldn't be playing club footy during Origin ... it is just so ugly and scrappy it is worse than watching the QLD or NSW cup because it doesn't even have the same level of fluency. There...

didn't the Knights have some special clause written in when Tinkler bought them which was supposed to save them from getting fucked over by Tinker's mismanagement? Either way I want to see the Knights survive. as long as the NRL takeover is just a stopgap then it doesn't seem like a biggie...

I think Tate is a winger. he's a winger and a centre. Gagai is a centre or fullback

surely Dugan wouldn't be picked at centre. it seems like absolute madness ... and I encourage madness in the NSW selection room but ... I'm pretty sure Daley would have had a centre in mind (like Hoppa or Walker) almost immediately after Game 1 and everything until now is just media fluff.

I don't even dislike the Raiders but I've been grinning like a Cheshire cat since I found out

3. Hunt 2. Vidot 1. Hannant i have to echo the sentiments of somehow earlier that Vidot looked like our best prop. Life is a lot easier when the wingers can chip in like that

what a sensational game from Hunt. He's always had good vision and finally he's putting a bit of polish and poise to go with that. Fantastic stuff! I'm still not sure what to make of Copley. He looked good and then bad throughout the game. Good finishes to tries (+ an amazing hit on Matai) and...

that's not being overrated. That is like saying that if you cut one of Messi's legs off he'd be an overrated soccer player. Melbourne get so much respect because they have three of the best players in the NRL. if you take out two of those and injure the third I think everyone would expect them...

Vidot's offload still leave me in awe

we needed to get the ball to Hodges and Inglis more often. they looked unstoppable at times but didn't get it enough Apart from that. I think it was just a case of a whole bunch of important players having subpar games. I hope other people can offer some better insights. I was too busy pacing...

each to their own but I find this pretty damn weird. Refereeing mistakes have existed since time began and if you're so upset by them that you don't care about one of the greatest sporting spectacles in the world, then I figured you would have given up on rugby league entirely years ago I'm...

I think that too sometimes but then you just have to stop and think of who would be picked instead of Hodges if they were cautious about his injury: Tate or Chambers. And all due respect to both guys but they don't compare to Hodges
