Re: Round 23 - Bulldogs vs. Broncos - Build Up Thread
I'm baffled. Wallace was probably the best NSW halfback in the comp just before Origin kicked off. I don't understand how he's fallen so flat.
The Eels look a bit like the Sharks when he went to Cronulla, and he got them well up the ladder. Stuart is definitely the best choice of coach available for Parramatta. Whether the best coach available is enough to turn such an intrinsically terrible club around is another question.
There was a short interview with Hook in the Telegraph today in which he says Norman and Wallace have been crap in recent weeks. It's nice to know he acknowledges it and is hopefully working on a solution.
He really isn't all that hyped, and never has been.
He deserved a lot of credit for the Rooster's 2010 season. He got that credit. But he's not hyped enough to be overrated. He's never received the kind of media praise that Hayne got in 2009, or that Inglis got in his rookie year, or that Barba...

I can't see Bird pursuing legal action against the fan that made the sign, as I doubt he would want to shine more light on the case, but if he were to take it to...
Depends on which stadium. If it's in Sydney, there are no casualties because nobody's at the game. If it's in Queensland, the coroner will struggle to identify the victims using dental records, as there are less teeth than there are bodies. If it's in Melbourne, it gets half a paragraph in the...
There are different grades of concussion. Some will ring the player's bell but the symptoms disappear shortly. Others will leave them useless for some time.
I played a 9s carnival in Sydney and hilariously had a full-speed head clash with one of my teammates. He was completely out of it and had...
