When Cotric almost scored in the corner, I missed the restart of play, but I swear it was a 20m tap given I saw Zero tackle on the screen. I must be losing it - could’ve sworn Cotric went in touch while still touching the ball and before knocking it on. Which can’t be a 20m restart. Was at the grou...

Why wouldn't Chevy be FB since he had the bye off last week?

On another topic. How good is Magic Round? Greatest innovation to the game since Origin. The women on Thursday night just makes it even bigger. Suncorp was electric tonight and will be for the whole weekend. I flew up for the game. Great atmosphere in Brisbane- jerseys and league related events and...

Serious question - when do they start the 10 minutes for the sin bin from? By the clock on the Kayo feed, I get both sin bins to be around 8 mins 30 seconds rather than the full ten. very confused. I am glad someone asked this. I wasn’t sure of the rule either. The Dogs scored on the buzzer at half...

He was fantastic last night. Three hit ups in one set. He was hungry and was bumping off players. I know he needs time and he’s building towards it cause I wasn’t overly convinced when first seeing him, but he’s slowly coming very good. I like the way that Ricky has done it too. Hasn’t thrown him i...

Could be the next Craig Wing See what you mean- the speed, good all round skills- close to good enough to be a starting #1/6/7/9 (and maybe wuld have been at plenty of clubs) . Be amazing if he could develop that way but Wing is just about the goat #14 you'd ever hope for. I wonder if he'd be happy...

Been following this team for awhile, since the late 80s. Been watching this game for a long time. Laurie Daley is my all time favourite player. Can run, great defender, ball play and is a leader. Much better than other 5/8s at the time who were captains for the state and Australia. I think I've see...

Woolford at #9 to me is a lot like Savage at #1, it seemed all was going reasonably well without being perfect, and then the pin was just pulled I don't understand it but oh well Spot on. Only for them to be replaced by others with very limited capacity in those positions. Cam Smith showed you can ...

BadnMean

Adam Cook is only 23. Quite a bit younger than when Fogarty and Cody Walker started playing consistent first grade. About the same age Nico Hynes was when he was "discovered" and began getting regular FG. It is astounding how early halves get put on the scrapheap or ignored by fans consid...

Weird. Love to know how it went down one day.

Hang on, you blokes trying to tell me Brisbane is in QLD?

Can't be a Bronco's home game if PNG, Palmerstone North, Tenterfield and Sydney are also in QLD right? Otherwise SOG doesnb't even make sense, so the NRL has this one right!

BadnMean

Looking at that list, I still think we've recruited just as well as any of them. Our results prove as much. That list of teams has won 8 premierships between them in the last 10 years. Eels made a GF and Dolphins have only had one full season. I don’t think our results prove we’re just as good. Oof...

People a just sick of premium free agent players being signed by the Roosters or Brisbane. A draft won't stop that. Sent from my CPH2021 using Tapatalk A draft won't stop that- a draft alone that is- but it does mitigate it to a fair degree. It provides one balancing mechanism. Others would be tran...

BadnMean

Bulldogs are gonna be a big test next week. Our crash balls aren't going to trouble them too much I have to say. Their defence is pretty impressive. Will need to be able to get some rolls on mid field and hope this can free up Timoko, Kris, Savage, Strange and Weekes to do some damage. Rapana back ...

BadnMean

I guess the question for me for any young spine player is whether they'll be superstar, which I'd broadly describe as a top ten player of the game. I'm of the view that a team can and will be a huge premiership force, with 2-4 superstars and the rest more or less honest hard working, solid players....

Written 15 years ago. Thanks for thinking of me, Ricky, but I have better things to do Phil Gould | April 26, 2009 Dear Ricky, perhaps you misunderstood my comments during the week about your predicament at Cronulla. Your invitation to have me come to training and talk to your players about attacki...

BadnMean

I posted a number of times in the pre-season about going after Angus Crichton, he was getable and on the market. He's turned his form around and back close to his best as predicted. He'll probably stay at the Roosters now. Would have been great for us. Ah well. I may get deleted but there were seri...

BadnMean

To sum it up, Andrew Webster is struggling. How about other highly touted coaches who have come through in the last few seasons? Adam Obrien? Stinking the house down. Todd Payten. Also wafting an abhorrent stench. Jason Demetriou? Jack is playing the best footy of his career under him.? Ciraldo and...

BadnMean

Jack could roll a grubber past the dead ball line from halfway. He just isn’t a finesse player. Fog and Strange definitely have the better short kicking games than our previous halves of the last decade. Fog probably has the best long kicking game too. Fog this season was the best I've seen a raide...

BadnMean

It was noticeable when Starling and Mooney came on how our defensive line compressed and our line speed improved. Weird game. Didn't look like Manly wanted to win it in the second half. They're getting run down, and then overtaken and DCE and Tommy didn’t even really attempt to do anything about it...

BadnMean

Chevy back to cup would be my go. Without Fog there is a need for some experience in that spine.

There's a very good chance Chevy gets another crack at FG with a Rapana injury or suspension in a month or two anyway, given age and playing style.

BadnMean

It’s going to be pretty bloody important that Strange, Sanders and Chev are learning on the job with a strong pack Tapine may not be a core part of the future raiders team that we’re hoping can win us a comp (he also might be! He’s not so old that there is certainty around that) but he’s going to b...

BadnMean

Probably DL's best defensive game for us with only 2 missed and 1 ineffective tackle. One tackle I recall on Turbo was very good close to our line. But... can he back it up. In Manly's first try DL is the defender ambling across the field when Turbo cuts back inside. If he had shown a little more u...

BadnMean

Calling a spade a spade, I thought we looked very disjointed in attack. I get that weekes had the courage to kick on the second tackle, but other than that I don't recall him creating anything else which suggests to me he will be a consistent first grader. I hope he grows in confidence after that w...

BadnMean

I guess now is when those of us who were still "on" Hudson Young - good yards all year, great effort we just post annoying reminders? I thought he was still very ordinary with a lot of ill discipline… 110m+ (only 2 forwards cracked the ton on a night when yards were hard), 36 tackles in t...

BadnMean

Strange already setting himself up as a bit of a match winner. First the Titans game and then the perfect grubber in this game. Great to see from such a young guy. Huge plays from a rooky half. Massive competitor in him. Lachlan Galpin is getting some hype with comparable attacking stats off a smal...

BadnMean

Can’t see us getting within 20 points of the Sea Eagles tonight. And even if we do - we all know it’ll be down to another one of these classic Rick rah-rah ambush response performances rather than anything sustainable. It shouldn’t take getting a 40-blot shellacking at home to elicit some effort an...

That would have been magic. I was there in late 1991 when Mal scored late and kicked the winner from the sideline to keep us in the top 5. Too many other times at Brookvale were very painful. Was that the one at home vs Doggies when Mal reminded reporters after the match, "It's an 80 minute ga...
