I think Todd Carney is over rated 'these days' and I don't like Soward, however, I think he is better than Carney (at least equal without a doubt). Yes, he may have fallen out of form a bit but if I were a NSW selector I would have him there in the no.6 over Carney any day, he has more energy...
EXACTLY ! LOL! I know there are a lot of Warrior fans that show up when they play in Brisbane .. but at one stage I was almost certain I heard a loud 'BOOO' when Parker was lining up to take a goal .. had to try re-think about which stadium they were actually playing in.
Good effort, was on...
I usually watch the 3 games per week, maybe one online if it's a good match up. I record the Sunday game and watch it later, just skips the ads, takes me about 3 seconds to skip each ad set so much easier to watch.
Back on topic, there are quite a few players I like to follow in games but can...
Yeah for sure - will be very interesting to see how Norman handles this game. If he chokes then we are in big trouble to make it far in the finals... hopefully he has a good game.
Hannant off the bench is fine as others have pointed out. Civo can handle the hard clashes at the start with...
Give me sugar over saccharin any day... at least sugar is the real deal and saccharin is the sneaky (worse) substitute... oh hang on, there is another interpretation of the photo Kaz posted that rings true..
Yes, it might be full, but I said full and full or REAL supporters. People who are actually going to cheer and get verbal the way SOO deserves. There's a big difference which is also evident of the different between say Melbourne vs Sydney / Brisbane. Melbourne is not too bad, but how many...
IF they did do an away game - as long as the stadium is FULL and FULL of REAL supporters...
EDIT: Thinking about this, my guess is there might be one game in Melbourne again next year and then Sooky will say that's good enough for him and take the coaching job for another 3 years. He'll count...
I would love to believe you but when I see two games played (or announced to be played) in Brisbane next year I will only believe it then. You underestimate what these guys are capable of..
Plus, it's our turn to have two in Brisbane, even one in Melbourne would be a joke.
NSW are very well aware of the rules, they just ignore it as it doesn't suit their agenda anymore.. they will come up with some rubbish justification just wait.. useless..
From all the rubbish I have seen NSW spit out - this is by far the biggest this year.
Even Sooky can't stand up to that.. but you know, I read the first few lines and thought I was going to reply "I bet this has something to do with Sooky's conditions to keep on as coach" - then the very next...
I think if he stays down longer it's a sure penalty, no problem - probably on report, maybe sin bin but short of a penalty try actually.
Just sad that our game is getting to a stage where they have to stay down for this type of thing...
Got a few screen shots here - the actual live replay is worse in my opinion because you can see the course he is taking etc. He (Barba) knew... look at him afterwards.. lol..
These files are all small and the quality isn't good as I captured from the online video - but can see what...
lol ... whether his knee touched the ball or not, he took him out and too him out with a high shot. That's like saying it's ok to smash someone in the head with a should or elbow while keeping a direction that was not intended to get the ball but because in the process you touched the ball with...
Just watched it again.. he just smashed him. Watched it from both angles in slow motion. The first real time looks ok, but watch the two slow motions. He doesn't even touch the ball.

Actually, he led with the elbow/shoulder and connected with the head and didn't even touch the ball in the one I'm thinking of. I will track down the exact time.
Exactly! lol! They were picked by him and kept after their promising performance of game 2.
Seriously, most calls went NSW way in game 3 anyway - still not enough for ol Ricky but hey.
