Unfortunately it's looking like a pretty costly win. Although Beale was solid at fullback losing Hoffman is a massive blow. He creates so much at the back and his hard running often puts us in a good position to start our sets. Still we covered well earlier this season without him so we're just...
I'm passing on my season seats. Going with some friends so will buy on Monday.
About time the NRL allowed season members to purchase their same seats for finals games.
Manly are carrying on like a club with a massive chip on its shoulder. What amuses me is they actually think they've been unfairly treated by the NRL which is laughable.
The whole siege mentality thing that Hasler has been trying to conjure up for the last few years is getting veeeeeeery...
Yep that probably had a bit to do with it.
Had results fallen differently this week today's game could have had a different feel. Lang said in the presser that he would have played Merritt and Sandow if Knights had won last night and we would have gone up another gear had we still been in...
I forgot the game at Gosford vs Easts.
We should beat them regardless of what the conditions are. I'm more interested in the state of the field. Seeing as there was consistent drizzle all today and the rugby overnight it might be heavy underfoot.
Looking forward to this although I'm a little confused that's it's being released now. I'm expect an updated edition in 6 months with a chapter or two on his final season including the upcoming finals series.
Koch is a good writer. It's a shame he left The Australian to do the broadcast thing at 9.
Disagree with taking it to New Zealand. Rugby League has got a good niche over there. It will never surpass Union so I don't really see the point.
Perth though is a real potential market which the game needs to explore. It should get a 60k stadium in the next ten years and when that happens I...
Not too concerned. We've had quite a few excellent wins in the wet (twice against Newcastle, Penrith, Canterbury and Penrith from memory). If anything it could limit the damage Merritt and Sandow could cause.
Decision delayed until the end of the season. Eff me Eastern Suburbs as a club would you grow a pair already? How demoralising for their supporters. I bet a couple of their players are spewing too.
I like the look of Te'o in the centres but I would have been equally happy with Glenn there too.
If Hodges is only meant to miss one week It could be intriguing if results go a certain way the game against Manly ends up being for 2nd spot. I doubt Griffen would risk Hodges for that game...
This is how I feel. Can't stand their supporters and I can't but help but laugh at those at the club who think they were hardly done by last year. Having said all of that I admire the way they have shot back to the top of the pack. Bellamy is a great coach for the way he turns unheralded players...
Yeah I bought a couple of grand final seats in the club members pre-sale a few weeks ago. Great seats on half way about 20 rows from the fence. A nice little insurance policy should we make it that far. And if not - will sell them off and get my money back.
He was pretty good last week but he's the only player that I hold my breath for when he carts the footy back or stands under the high ball. He seems to be a quintessential confidence player. Definitely needs more exposure to the top grade so he can develop his confidence and skills. With Yow...
We've lost our last two up there but Newcastle have been pretty hot and cold lately so it's just a matter of which Knights side turns up. If we're any chance of snaring second spot we need to win this game but more importantly we need to keep stringing some quality games together leading into...
I'll back us to beat the Cowboys up there. Although the Cowboys have a steely resolve that's been missing in recent seasons so they'll be hard to shake.
Even if Thurston plays I'm convinced we have the superior team.
