He went to the same school as the Milf. Maybe they will be a package deal. If he had an ACL reco in July he should be ok for early next season. Sign him up Gee Gee

That is a sensational team. Seriously anyone could coach that side to top 4. Anyone except our coaching staff.

What is most frustrating is that we ARE capable of playing a top 4 brand of footy. I'm optimistic that with a few key personnel changes on and off the field we can be contenders next year. Must get rid of the dead wood right now though.

It' s not just Maranta. It's the whole team. Someone, head shrink or not, needs to convince these boys to back themselves. maybe putting someone on the coaching/support staff that knows what it feels like to be a winner would be a good start. Telling them not to run upright into the defence when...

I'm convinced that our best possible recruit for next year would be a decent bloody psychologist. To be successful in anything, you must believe that you are capable of winning. On paper this team should belt the storm regardless of their big three. We don't believe in ourselves and the best...

Hi guys. Not a regular contributor on BHQ but I went out to see JYY today and thought I could provide some insight for you. I left with 15 mins to go but from what I saw he looked big, fit and strong which was good. He is running with a distinct limp which was very noticeable. He made a few...

Slater appeared 2-3 metres offside on his last try. Would love a replay.

I agree with all that but I also think that if you are a first grade centre your kick chase should be excellent. That is a non negotiable in my view. I am just looking for someone out wide who is capable of creating something from nothing through speed or size. I just don't recall jack making a...

i can't knock reed's effort but with copely, yow yeh, kahu, maranta, Whitchurch, bond etc available to fill outside backs positions, it might be worth shopping him around if he can't improve in 2013. The other bribie boy could be in the same category this time next year too.

I agree with you regarding the hooker on the bench thing for sure. I just sense that we need some more speed on the left side and/or someone who can bust the line. That said, having a 5/8 now who is able to pass to the left may be all we need and jack just needs to run into holes. Hope so.

I think Jack Reed's spot in the squad is in serious jeopardy. Good defensively but very slow otherwise. Just wondering whether Hook may persist with Glenn at left centre to accommodate staggy in the back row. Hoffman if fit deserves the fullback spot so I could see Norman being our new bench...

Dont b sucked in by the commentary team's appraisal of that game. They were woeful not the game. I can see signs of things turning for us.

Players should not be allowed to seek a discussion with the ref full stop. When has a ref changed a decision? Just cop the decision and move on. Players should be penalised without warning for dissent too. I'm not a fan of the challenge system but I am a fan of the ref having an opportunity...

It seems to me that Corey Norman cannot pass to his left. I have noticed some of his best work this year has been when he has shifted over to the right hand side in attack. Unfortunately he is a left foot kicker which is why the coach has him standing left side. Ben Hunt on the other hand showed...

Instead of calling it an 18th man, let's simply call it a permanent reserve. A reserve that is available to be used by a coach to permanently replace another player irrespective of whether the player he replaces is injured (by foul play or otherwise) or simply hooked for a brain explosion. We do...

Gillett's 'errors' in defence (i.e the Matai try just before halftime and the Matai break for the winning try) weren't so much poor defensive reads in my view but due to Gillett's lack of speed off the mark. He gave Matai too much space for the first try and couldn't make it up and it was...

I think they can definitely be lost. I just hope that we don't look back on a loss like this one when we are 2 points short of the top 4 or the 8 when september comes around. As I start to ease down from spitting chips at full-time, I agree it's not the end of the world.

Are premiership points in round 2 worth less than in later rounds? .....didn't think so

There is no doubt that he will improve with more experience but he is in first grade so there are no excuses. He has a job to do.

refs rooted up our first half. Bowen rooted up our second half. I am optimistic about Corey Norman however his decision making is going to need to improve. He did a silly chip kick in the 38th minute which very nearly resulted in another cowboys try before the break. He did the same thing...
