Kimmorley >> Johns at test level

I'm disappointed for Glenn. As for Winterstein, good on him, but it's hard to see him getting a run with Vatuvei, Nightingale and Perrett in front of him.

I think that once these investigations are through, if any players are implicated, the NRL must come down hard on them and de-register them. Regardless of their profile. This is the only way to discourage other players with a dishonest streak from taking the risk. Unfortunately (if the current...

Unfortunately, if you stop sports betting, it will go underground which will make scandals like this more difficult to detect.

Edited by admin. Too far.

Does this change anyone's alliegance tonight? I recall the Cowboys saying similar things when they beat us in 2004. :evil: Go the roosters! Regardless of the outcome, I think I'll be behind whoever wins the other prelm in the grand final

Wow, this is a massive blow for the NRL if true. It will be interesting to see if Gallop has the balls to put his foot down. Just thinking about problems with matchfixing... surely the only way to eliminate it is to remove the temptation and ban exotic bets. But with all the sponsorships of...

That's the system's biggest flaw, the difference between winning and losing in certain scenarios. One incident is the difference between being eliminated and getting a week off.

The tackle reminded me of Karmichael's on Anasta a few years back. It was high, but JWH fell into it. It would have been a hollow way to end the game, but probably a penalty in other circumstances, so you've got to be consistent.

Nah not possible. They'll either play each other next week with the loser knocked out or the tigers will be knocked out should Manly pull off a miracle :shock:

Yep, don't know why Fulton threw that pass. There was very little to gain from it because it was so harbour bridge that if a tigers player had managed to claim it he would have been tackled anyway. Then they'd be stuck on a sideline trying to get the field goal. I felt for the tigers. They did...

haha maybe we're going the wrong way about our recruitment. We should be looking for the most eligible young ladies in Brisbane and setting them up with potential recruits

If he's still with Stephanie Rice then, he'd be pretty keen to stay up here. Could be similar to the Greg Inglis situation, except hopefully he would actually want to come to the club.

I was surprised that Farah didn't poll points against us, given that he supplied the match winning try. Carney turning his life around and winning is a good story and to be honest, he'd probably be my pick for player of the year, but this year's count highlighted to me more than ever that it's...

Yeah, mistakes for sure. The raiders found a diamond in the rough in Shillington, wish we could go back in time and get him instead of Setu!

Wow that's the biggest bench we've named for a while. Probably a good thing against the raiders, those guys are massive.

Yes, that has proven to be correct. But I, like many others I'm sure, thought that Michaels had more potential than Boyd and that Hunt would become a 300 game player for the club. I was also pretty excited about the recruitment of Sims. Doesn't always turn out the way you hope. :cry:

I may have been exagerrating a bit, but essentially you have one or two stars a second tier of solid first graders and then the rest. Canberra have some very good players, no doubt. The only ones I'd class as "stars" would be Dugan and Shillington. Maybe Campese on his day. The likes of...

The salary cap is the reason for the youth policy. Look at all the other teams in the competition. You can't have a team full of stars anymore. You can really only have one or two stars and fill the rest of the team with has-beens, nuffies or youngsters. Most of our youngsters are tied up for...

Positives The re-emergence of Darren Lockyer Promising young players coming through, especially Hoffman and Gillett Israel Folau - has gone from a last tackle bomb target to one of the most damaging strike players in the game. Unfortunately not a positve we can capatalise on next year :cry...
