Didn't think it was that bad of a hit, wasn't high, on the chest and bill was up and about after he got the penalty, I thought report was a bit much personally - but then I'm always wearing my anti-purple tinted glasses
Hows about Lockyer - sensational, Sambo and Civis -tops
I also thought...
But hasn't Thurston done enough to earn a "swansong" so to speak? He has been instrumental in the 4 series victories (as a whole), forming the core with Darren and Smith, doesn't he deserve to get to play in this series, if fit and in form, based on where he's help take us? Surely he's...
I do think there is more to form when it comes to Jamie Lyon, considering how vocal he has been about rep football in the past, I think people can be forgiven for being surprised at him being selected
Good point, must be the selectors with their "..take the boy out of Qld..." approach to selecting the Aus team, really only a New South Welshman could want Gallen representing the nation as a whole
No, but the reason that Cronk was able to develop his combinations with the other players, something that comes with time, was that they were kept together only because the Storm systematically overpaid players in an effort to cheat the salary caps
I thought the point was not the amount that...
How is not a result of the cheating of the salary cap? Cronk has been able to develop these combinations with other Melbourne players by the club rorting the salary cap. If it weren't for the breaches, these combinations would not have been developed to the same extent, such that it is...
Bah indeed!
But it's cool, Melbourne still have their "integrity" and "dignity"
What's new, Melbourne's made it their stock in trade to drill an understrength Broncos side while fielding illegal teams, what's new? Every prelim final victory for them really doesn't mean shit anymore - this is...
Since the story broke, a majority of the people who I've talked to have changed their view point from - "poor Storm" - to "why are they still fielding an illegal team", "they're over by how much", "why haven't they apologised yet"
Lets hope the longer this "fiasco" keeps going on, Melbourne...
Sorry, but I really can't let you use the words "fair" and "Storm" in the same post - admins!
not seriously, but sorta, but not really
We can't have byes because all the games need to be played for the TV deal, especially with the renewal coming up, instead, Melbourne should be fielding the...
I really don't want the Broncos to turn in the Storm 2.0 - lets get Bellamy in to coach and get Waldron to run the books while we're at it!
We don't need to buy every Melbourne player there is! I get trying to buy Inglis, maybe Smith (I doubt he'll go) or Crock, but not the whole damn team...
God it's depressing for the game that he's gone - could the whole of April been any more of a motivator for changes to the salary cap - well I guess a NSW player/ team could have been affected
I hate to agree with Huge, but how can you say Rusty has no range (or acts monotone?), go watch the Insider then L.A. Confidential and tell me it's just him reading a script in the same character?
When he's promoting the game, he'll be on his best behaviour, he's financially invested in being a...
