Offense is never given... It is only taken. On another matter, I didn't realise we had so many fat blokes on this forum.

The important point is about the stability of the group. If there is disharmony or disrespect or disanything in the squad, something has to give. In the scheme of things and the power pyramid, Ivan would certainly be the one to be cut loose. The problem is that if a replacement was appointed...

Imagine the emotional drain of playing against your old club every week!

A visit to Melbourne and a visit to Sydney will explain it. Melbourne is one of the great places. To anyone who has never had a visit and a wander, do what the man in the hat says. Melbourne has got stuff that Sydney doesn't get. Generalisation for sure, but I am sticking to it. The people there...

Re: Dragons coach Wayne Bennett a chance to go to Broncos or Let's agree to disagree. Basically, I agree with some of what was said but I disagree with other bits. Fair enough, there is an agreement on this forum that we all agree to agree with when we sign up. The reality is though, there have...

Regardless of the hypotheticals, the talk on Stuart seems to have gone very quiet since the 'announcement'.

Re: Dragons coach Wayne Bennett a chance to go to Broncos or Spot on Dexter. Bellamy knows dummy half and forward play better than anyone. The comp will be filled with forwards who were great at Melbourne and ordinary at other clubs. As you alluded to, there is a reason for that.

Thanks for the thoughts Dex. Wouldn't that reward the more creative and innovative attacking teams then? This is my point. The kick is far too boring and stifles footy. Teams would have to become risk takers. It raises the athlete versus footy player debate. I know what I would rather and I...

thanks for the reply spawn. 1. The bat back would be irrelevant because the kick wouldn't be allowed. If it happened from an 'allowed' kick and the ball hit the deck after the bat back, it would be a turn over. Do you see the bat back as an attractive part of footy? Anyway, Russell Fairfax did...

1. Drop ball rule to eliminate the ridiculous debate about whether a ball is 'propelled forward' etc [eusa_clap.gi 2. Grids on the field to assist our referees - every 2m with different colours for the 'main' lines ( half way, try line, 20m and 10m . [eusa_clap.gi 3. No kicking in the...

I think we'd all love him back Jeb. For a guy who was under immense pressure to perform and justify the big bucks, I reckon he has been an excellent addition. Big shame he's gone.

If only the emotional outpourings of young men actually meant something. The Izzy tweet is typical of guys leaving a club. It happens at every level of sport. I wouldn't hold Izzy to his word, because he will soon forget about us and start saying the same thing about his future club(s).

The tennis player should be listened to.

Guys, this weekend will see the return of the beautiful, creative and cohesive style that we showed and loved a couple of games back. Thankfully, the dark cloud of pessimism will lift. Reading the papers and the forum will again be a warm and rewarding experience. What a difference a week will...

I believe most of the posters have touched on the important points. The knights were incredibly fortunate - it was a 'once in a decade' performance by my home town. Sammy was taken off because, it my opinion and obviously Ivan's, he needs freshening up'. Flailing hair does not maketh the player...

I did suggest that the dates being thrown about earlier in the season regarding Hodges' return were ridiculous. There is the physical recovery and then there is the psychological recovery. I am 12 months post injury last week and what I can say in my case is that the recovery is much more...

Brian Cullen has been excellent of late. Bruno was a bruno at times but now it is time to revert to his real name. He has grown into it.

Hodges is a great assest to the Broncos and any team he plays for. He is probably not very coachable, which makes him a bit of a headache for his coaching staff but I would suggest that most opposing teams are very wary of his potential damage. My appreciation for him escalated after last...

Cronk is what he is because of Bellamy. Add Tolman, and the other guy at Canterbury to that list. The Storm produce great team players because each player has a specific and practised role. What the players lack in natural talent, they make up for with a clearly designated job to do. I love...
