He does need to learn this but, given his age and lack of experience, I am happy to give him time. I remember Lockyer, Minichiello, Slater and many other top class fullbacks/wingers having terrible games under the high ball in the first couple of years of their career. They drop one and then...
I remember one last weekend as well. I thought it might have been the Broncos game but I couldn't be sure.
I think it's a pretty soft penalty. I get it if the player is obviously trying to waste time but Te'o looked more frustrated than crafty when he did it. He shouldn't have done it but I'm...
Timeline from http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/leag ... 1b95t.html:
Sure it's easier said than done. I wouldn't expect a perfect track record with no slip ups, but my point is that he's not doing himself any favours by continuing to avoid making that commitment.
I'm ok with the Roosters keeping Carney on, though I would hope for a short term suspension to make the point that, while they are supporting his recovery, this behaviour is not ok.
IMO, the most important thing is for Carney to stop drinking. Full stop. None of this "I'm not going to drink...
As someone who was once a child, having lots of birthday presents is pretty awesome, but the unexpected bonus present a week or two later is so much better.
Am I the only one that thinks "NRL (ie rugby league) first, clubs second, players third" makes perfect sense? [icon_shru
Sure, do what you can to keep the players, but not at the expense of the NRL or individual clubs. I have no doubt the powers that be would love to pay our stars more and...
This says it all for me: "Let's not bother trying to raise other clubs to the level of the Broncos, let's just bring the Broncos back down to our level."
Totally agree with others who say we don't need another team anywhere. Sort out the shit we've already got before you bring new clubs into...
Two semi-tennis-related questions for the masses, both of which have been topics of conversation amongst friends:
1. Has Ana Ivanovic gotten hotter?
2. Does anyone find Djokovic attractive?
My tips are Clijsters for the women and Fed for the men.
Wow. Really guys? A countdown thread turning into a stolen generation thread? You folks must be bored [icon_wink
No more on that please.
I quite like the All-Stars game. It's a bit of a laugh and all the players are out to entertain, plus it couldn't come at a better time of year in terms...
Allan Langer vs Ben Ikin
Glenn Lazarus vs Lote Tuqiri
Brad Thorn vs Peter Ryan
Trevor Gillmeister vs Brian Niebling
Wally Lewis vs Dane Carlaw
John Plath vs Harvey Howard
Matt Gillett vs Willie Carne
Petero Civoniceva vs Ben Hannant
Steve Renouf vs Shane Walker
Chris Johns vs Paul Hauff
Michael...
The whole Mundine thing is confusing me actually. They're talking about it as though it wouldn't be counted under the cap, but surely there's no way this could be the case [icon_shru
Supposedly Inglis met with Cullen one morning and said he was committed to the Broncos and moving to Brisbane to be with his fiance, then was on a plane an hour later to meet with Souths. Complete dog act and I don't want someone with so little integrity near my club. People can say what they...
I haven't been to the grand final for a couple of years now, but the black hawk was definitely a regular thing up until 2007. I'm pretty sure it was usually done before the game too because I remember missing it more often than not (or seeing it from outside the stadium). I always loved it when...
That has got to be the most widely sourced squad in ages. The most any club has is 3 (Dragons and Storm). Normally you would have 5-6 from at least one team.
