I don't mind them giving us every Friday night as long as they reward us for our tv numbers financially. I do however have a big issue with someone in a position of power in the game saying something as unprofessional and arrogant as this.

Even if we lose but we lose like we did against Melbourne where we are very very competitive against a top side and we are within a point or (1-6 anyway) I still think we are a chance provided we either win or match Manly overall and then go out and belt Penrith.

I read an article yesterday where Gallen came out and basically completely discredited Anderson and Murray by saying it had to be a former player to get the gig. I think that is absolutely pathetic of a current player discrediting guys who have actual genuine coaching experience including grand...

Cowboys tore shreds and big metres off big rolling quick play the balls. Sure they defended poorly but I think they step up the defense when they face up to better opposition. They marched 50-60m in almost every set Tamou and Scott is easily the best starting front row in the game and Payne's...

Yeah he has to be there. Clearly we have backrowers and props capable of big minutes so giving a guy like Barba a bench spot to bring him on late each half to terrorise their big guys shouldn't be a drama. Get him in to dummy half a bit and also running off our hitups and wider runners looking...

I absolutely disagree 1000% with this. The video referee is making mistakes every single week after taking 3-4 minutes sometimes looking at different angles that "technology" provides, slows the game down and decisions and non-sensical rules that make no sense to anyone. Take power away from...

Re: 11/12 Football Thread Ning..... Different coach, same result? I admittedly watched Arsenal's match instead (which was very uninspiring) but imagine Pool were awful. I did see Downing is in the side still which is puzzlingin itself, he is deadset crap!

Kahu has spent more time developing as a 6 than Norman had that I am sure of. Regardless if Norman is at 1 we wouldn't need a massively creative 6 (as long as the 7 is Hunt not Wallace) because Hunt has shown he will try things and will be creative. I think Ben Hunt will only get better the...

I don't like the idea of challenges. I want them to go back to 1 referee and to the video referee getting one look at each angle and then being forced to make a decision if at which point he doesn't know he gives it to the ref down stairs. The game was officiated with much less controversy for...

Be interesting to see what happens to Minichiello. He clearly had some intent after making to leaping attempts to tackle a guy the same height as him (or near enough) it wasn't like Burns vs Kennedy. He got him flush with his forearm and split his eyebrow right open, I hope they don't go light...

Also it has been interesting to watch the form of our halves. Up until Origin they both played well, Wallace appears to need a confident halve with him because as soon as he feels he needs to do more he struggles hence why he always struggled without Lockyer. As soon as Norman's form dipped...

That's a mate sticking up for a mate. Whilst I think Norman is undoubtably talented I don't think he has the range in his game or the ability to involve others enough to excel as a 6. Fullback suits his style far better as the last 2 weeks have shown, he is a good support player and is good at...

He did miss a grand final for a grapple tackle.

That was a terrible game of footy, neither side has any chance against the legitimate top 4 of Dogs, Storm, Manly and Cowboys.

I like the way Cam Smith promotes the sport and conducts himself as a captain off the field, in interviews and when speaking to refs (he is far more respectful than a lot of other captains). I love watching him in attack both with and without the ball as he is an onfield general and steers his...

I will be putting a decent punt on the Cowboys if they get through with 2 points this weekend and come through unscathed. I honestly think they are under the radar right now and some value can be found there. Any team with JT is a big chance especially if he has a pack of forwards laying a...

So what people can't be annoyed when a guy who in the past has been consistently very good plays terribly in attack and defence for an extended period. Seriously so sick of reading people with "told you so" attitudes on this forum. Very happy he is going well again but he was playing like crap...

1. Norman 2. Beale 3. Reed 4. Hodges 5. Copley/Maranta 6. Hunt 7. Wallace 8. Civo 9. Macca 10. Hannant 11. Te'o 12. Thaiday 13. Parker 14. Gillett 15. McGuire 16. Dodds 17. Baptise

Thaiday made no ground and fell off tackles he beeds surgery asap. He is a hindrance out there!

Lost by 1, video ref gave them 6 I feel completely cheated. Hunt and Norman looked ok again and Te'o was our best by miles. F#cking devastated!
