Key word is "nearly". It was also Stuart's second successive year as NSW coach, not to mention his past experience in the job. And let's not forget the absence of Lockyer. I do wonder if everyone actually has such a low opinion of Bellamy, or if you're all just reflexively disagreeing with AP.

Greater Western Sydney (of which Canberra is apparently a part, go figure) is a furnace into which the AFL will sink millions upon millions of dollars. The NRL propping up the Storm in an important market is one thing. The AFL spending a fortune for the privilege of splitting the fanbase of...

Monty Betham's arm.

Quickly, Porthoz! Now is your chance!

Love your work Ari.

Their record against Collingwood was pretty bad until last weekend too. I don't think the venue is going to have an enormous effect on the game.

1. Norman 2. Hoffman Our halves are competent at best. With that in mind, we need a playmaker at fullback, and Hoffman doesn't offer much more other than his strength. 3. Reed 4. Hodges 5. Yow Yeh or Copley, depending on Jharal's fitness 6. Wallace 7. Hunt I would like to see the Marshall...

Re: Grand Final Discussion So... there were undeclared payments to the players outside the salary cap. How do you think this doesn't constitute wilful cheating?

Re: Grand Final Discussion Some players had to have known of the rorting... particularly Smith, who was heralded by the Daily Telegraph as being the 'answer to greedy player agents' when he began managing himself in late 2008.

I don't care for either team, but Ravens v Patriots is always a great game.

Giants have the best Manning in the competition.

The best way to learn the game is to keep playing Madden.

I feel like everyone is just belting AP reflexively. He's absolutely right in this instance. For the Knights to go backwards under Bennett is an enormous disappointment. A finals berth was the very minimum most were expecting from the side. I don't agree that Bennett was the BIGGEST flop of...

Getting a billion dollars is all fine and dandy, as long as the money is used correctly. In five years time, if the salary cap has been increased, if bush and junior footy is well funded and healthy, and if the clubs are all financially sound, I'll be happy to have only had three FTA games per...

His management responsibilities won't extend past the players and assistants, so the role really doesn't differ all that much from the CRL/All Stars jobs. There's no reason to think that he doesn't have the necessary people skills to manage a representative side.

Daley hasn't had the club coaching experience that Mal had, but for the past five years he's been the Country origin coach and has also coached the Indigenous All-Stars. Obviously neither of these competitions are comparable to Origin in terms of intensity or strategy, but both of them require...

A mate and I were discussing this today. Neither of us is all that impressed by the choice, but we realised that Daley has better qualifications for the job than Mal did at his appointment. I think it will come down to his support staff.

Sigh.

And that will do more to help their receivers than hinder them. A reputation as a rushing team usually works in the favour of the aerial game. Although that being said, last season was the first time the Giants really deviated from the rush-heavy offence they're famous for, and look what that...

Go the Swans! Errgh, I feel so dirty now.
