I got pretty pissed at Michael Jennings in the World Cup last year. He stuffed up an easy try against Fiji and there he was killing himself with laughter. It just looked plain lazy and basically said, "I don't care" to the Kangaroos jersey. Thankfully, he wasn't picked again after that match...
Here are some things to consider.
1. On July 18 2012, Griffin re-signed until the end of 2015. At that point, we were 3rd on the ladder, we had won 10 out of our 16 games for the season and 30 out of the 43 Griffin had been in charge for, which is about 70%.
2. Since then, we lost 7 out of the...
Exactly right. While NSW constantly tried to better their side by making more left-field selections, solid performers like Civoniceva and Steve Price were still getting picked for Queensland in 2006 despite not having won a series since 2001.
Right now, Mal is bringing in players like Papalii...
Re: Benji Marshall asks for immediate release to come back to NRL
I would have thought that Benji would be keen on going to the Storm because of the lack of rugby league interest there as opposed to Sydney. Going to the Sharks would attract much more focus on him, something which, if he's...

Last night, Barba ran 5 times for 65 metres and Hoffman ran 15 times for 145 metres. One could be forgiven for thinking that they were playing in opposite positions!
I wonder what Canberra would call us if he changed his mind after Round 13 and we refused to release him. Heartless? Greedy? Hell, they'd probably think the term "Queenslander" is enough of an insult in itself.
After seeing a Storm side containing 16 of their 17 players get smashed by Canterbury at a neutral venue, I have to wonder if the Storm would even make the finals without Cameron Smith.
I don't think they would, because he acts like the supports for a well-made, modern house - without them, the...
I'm hoping that in this game we see something that we haven't seen for a very long time - a proper Broncos mauling (of the other team). It's been ages since we delivered a proper 80-minute performance and eight years since we held a team to nil.
Although Parramatta should be slightly better...
That game reminds me of the one at Suncorp in 2006 when we lost to the Storm, but everyone seemed to admit that not only were we the better team, but we really could be considered as a premiership force after that performance.
IMO, that game showed that if have all of our front-rowers plus...
Hang on! Now he's staying with Melbourne again! Or maybe not. Storm bosses are "quietly confident" that he will, but he might still switch to the Broncos, but Broncos powerbrokers say that he'll sign with the Storm. Smith may still change his mind well into the season.
What the hell is going...
