I don't know .. nor do I care .. who's talking to who or what they're talking about, I'm just sick of the pencil-pushing excuses for journos (particularly those within the hallowed walls of Fox Sports "News") sitting there with one hand in their crotch and the other scrolling their phones whilst...
Totally agree mate ... this blitzkrieg of sin-binnings and send-offs totally detracted from the spectacle that Magic Round should have been .. I can almost imagine the Machiavellian planning that went into this .. "yeah we'll do it in magic round, strength in ref numbers, teams all in one place...
Fair point mate .. but surely Blandy must be accountable to someone ... if only US but, then again, he described us as "white noise" (he's stealing one from the Justin Langer playbook there).
With Reynolds and possibly Benny the Ball (Top Cat reference) trundling up to Brizzy and Milf maybe heading down the M1 to the glitter strip ... I wonder if Xavier (turn) Coates and Fat Fifi have reflected on the wisdom of their decisions.
Is Adam Reynolds "John the Baptist" making way for the third coming of Wayne ? ... that would be nice ... especially if he brought his apostles Jaydn and Dane with him :happy:
Lodge for Klemmer .... these are the times when we find if the powers-that-be at Red Hill have learned a skerrick of common sense from their past blunders. IMO Klemmer's a dunderhead who drops more balls than a lotto machine !!
I heard tell that Coates is regarded as potentially being another Greg Inglis ... I'm seeing their point ... both players shat on us from a great height.
Doesn't matter if it's Isaako swinging the ball to Coates or Niu swinging the ball to Isaako ... it's about getting into those try scoring positions and we've proved we can do it, Coates is a finisher if he gets the service ... Isaako is a finisher if he gets the service. One self-opinionated...
Reynolds is one of the few 'blues' I have some respect for ... put the money on the table .. iron the creases out of the contract ... change the name on the brown paper bag full of 100s from Milford to Reynolds ... give him a pen (bugger the expense, you can keep the pen Adam) .. job done, on to...
I'm sure someone else would have done the figures at some time or other but I just wanted to take a look for myself. Things are bad ?.. yes .. but I took a quick look in the rear-view mirror to cheer myself up and know that this WILL end.
Since our inception back in '88 we've won more Grand...
So .. when I talk about Coates sneaking around and having coffee dates with bellyache I'm told that it's his life and his choice and I shouldn't condemn him and when I applaud the fact that Staggs has placed 'some' faith in the club that raised him it's only because he can't get a gig anywhere...
Jeez ... can we just, for a few minutes, enjoy the fact that a talented player with some runs on the board has actually placed some faith in the club ... Coates can literally get his coat and hopefully that's the end of the exodus, maybe now a few will start coming in through the revolving door...
I hear what you say and not condemning him mate, but it may have been a whole different story if we had lost. Yes indeed it was a memorable night and a pleasure to be there, but there's a bit of ho-hum .. ok that's over .. off we go to Melbourne. I'm really not bothered what Xavier does or...
There's a rumour that Coates was on a plane to Melbourne Friday night to tour the Storm "facilities". What's the mindset of someone playing 80 minutes of football knowing he's checking out if the grass is greener with the Mexicans that same night. It's like a game of friggin' Monopoly ...
I see Lodge and Riki copped fines because of the stink at the end ... anyone know if Fermor has anything to answer for involving his elbow into Oates' head after Oates scored his try. Might be accidental but I thought Fermor could have pulled out of it.
