It was only last night, watching the after game wrap up on fox (*groan*) and some dirty blue called up and asked if the refs were gonna wreck the series by calling hayne out when he was in - seriously, that douche needs this pic tattooed on this palms so he get the point
Its clear as day that he lives to play in Maroon, and watching his for a bit this arvo, all he wants is to get selected and is playing out of his skin, and considering how he plays in maroon, I would wager that most of players in our past four series wins would love to line up next to Tate in D...
I meant in the sense that there would be renewed enthusiasm and certainly no complacency - I am well aware of the skill of Smith despite his unfortunate club, I was in no way suggesting Balin is a better hooker than Smithy
this may be positive for us, any potential complacency just left with smith-ee, worring about JT - but if he's injured cronk to half and te'o comes in to the bench and everyone will put in 110% and that's all i ever want of us
It seems that the real nature of this thread is discussing how awesome it would be to see Tatey in a maroon jersey this year - because Brenty is a HERO and one of the most exciting players to be involved in the glorious soon to be fivepeat!
Game 2 - be my fourth series in a row, and all of the last four games in Qld plus a Sydney one, I wonder if I'm Qld's lucky charm - well, if so, lock in the 5th series

Personally i think that's its a pedestrian side, no real picks out of left field...
I can't see us loosing, but I wouldn't put anything by Bellyache - considering this series is all he has to play for this year, I think he'll step up big time, but he's not taking the field and tactics would only make the difference is the Blues were closer in quality to the maroons side - we...
I think a lot of that comes from how emphatic our wins have been over top level sides - we have been stepping up all year against premiership contenders (& the storm) and now we are starting to win them, considering who we have still to come back, I think we have every reason to be optimistic -...
If we can keep improving our defence, which was pretty reasonable the other night, we could give this premiership a real shake this year!
To think that we have the best attack without Hodgo and Kempy (who is a celebrated finisher) and with two wingers who looked quite uncomfortable the other night
Woo - plus, it's a marquee signing, Ben Hannant, a leading prop in the game, IMO I think that was something we needed to focus on, in the past some of the casual fans have been drawn in by the array of superstars at Brisbane, the more we do to bring that back the better for attracting those...
Lots of feeling and hatred towards those purple bastards out there - see every team wanting to get all physical and pugilistic with them cheats - god I wish they were coming to brissy this year, guess we'll have the whole season to make banners and prepare chants
Hows about Melbourne fighting their punishment, class act there - really pissing me off - but you see it every week when they play, none of the other teams think their innocent and are sick to death of their hard done by attitude, fights against both NZ and Canberra and then whinging about...
