360 has got even worse this year. It used to at least discuss broader issues across the teams and across the game. Now it’s just talking about whatever is happening with the big teams and whatever is in today’s and tomorrow’s newspapers. The worst bit is they now discuss for example, a south Sydney ...

BJ

Phil Gould certainly has an incredible ability to sell the Bulldogs to a young half and paint them a picture of what and where they can be in their career going forward and sign them to a contract. He’s a master operator. I doubt he highlights how quickly they could be spat out if they don’t perform...

BJ

I admittedly have never listened to Alan Tongue and made some assumptions there, interesting to know he's gone over the top the other way but you get the point... you don't expect to get a lot of neutrality from people in the media who have a clear attachment to a club. Id like to think a guy like ...

BJ

James Graham on NRL360 talked about how we got 2 lucky tries, no mention of the great tackle that caused one but also failed to highlight the Dogs got tries whilst we were down men and then didn't score another point when we were at full compliment. He played the majority of his NRL career at the d...

If any young NRL footballer isn’t an Immortal by age 20 then I just don’t rate him.

BJ

If that’s Annesley’s definition of a hip drop and what the NRL is looking for, then I’m OK with that. I think he made some logical points that I can accept his ruling. But let’s hope Annesley and NRL decision makers are consistent on this interpretation going forward. We’ve all seen Annesley draw a ...

Billy Walker wrote:The Canberra Times reporting we could get a 20k crowd to this game seems a tad ambitious to me.

Me too.

16k I reckon. The cold weather makes a few people stay and watch from home. I can’t remember us pulling 20k in May.

BJ

If you’re a head coach and Trent Barrett is on your staff, then don’t book any long term plans in your local area.

BJ

Geez it was nice to get up and beat 2024 Premiership favourites Canterbury Bulldogs. Well a few here people last season had them as the club to go to for a shot at a Premiership this year. Also a few claimed that Raiders should have instead signed Hutchison, Blake Taafe and Connor Tracey. We don’t ...

Yep I think he’s eyeing off Papa’s spot long term.

Our club is on the rise and if these young players kick on, who knows where we could be in a couple of years.

If I was a fringe hooker I’d be looking to try and nab a roster spot behind our forward pack.

BJ

Even in old games Savage wasn’t lacking in effort, just application. He’d get rag dolled a bit and fall off tackles, but he was always trying hard. He’s improved in both areas since 2022. He’s had a moment or two this year where he lacked a bit of urgency covering a kick or stopping a 40/20, but I ...

I didn’t realise Tino was so big until seeing him on the couch dwarfing Tallis and Hindmarsh.

Were his lips moving?

If so, he was mumbling garbage

BJ

Yep he took the right option. It was the threat out wide that opened up the short ball.

Going wide would have given the defence a chance to scramble.

BJ

How good was that

BJ

That’s what I’ve been talking about. The hip drops are ‘rarely sin binned’ and Fisher Harris didn’t have the contact with his own player in the mix.

BJ

The more I’ve looked at the Brian Kelly no try for Titans I can’t see a point where the ball has ‘definitely’ come away from the hand and that it’s clear that the bunker can overrule the on field referees call. My thoughts yesterday was no try, but I’m starting to waver. Yes the ball bobbled away fr...

Not much of it by Souths.

Spoke too soon.

Mind you it was terribly messy.

Corey Parker is the dumbest commentator. Discuss. He just can’t back up his statements with valid arguments or insightful points on the play. Parker has a pre formed opinion on teams, players and the game and he can’t stray outside what he wants the outcome to be, even if the replay shows him to be...

BJ

These 3 game sessions in magic round are too much and it means too many fans miss out on attending. I’d rather four separate 2 game sessions. Either extend to the Thursday night. Or on the Saturday a 12pm and 2pm game. Then everyone leaves the ground for new fans come for a separate session for a 6p...

Crossman leaving the defensive line early and at least 2 steps offside a few times and ignored by the ref.

I would have liked to see a replay on the dropped ball from the try. It looked like Hetherington slapped at the ball but they never showed another replay.

BJ

Great point Seif about Hudson reverting to try and run lines instead of like a headless chook.

BJ

I think I heard the ref yell you’ve taken your advantage.

I’d rather take a punt on some emerging back rowers. Roosters do not release players without reason.

I watched this again last night and it was the head contact with Kaeo Weekes that caused him to lose his legs - was quite obvious upon review imo. Add on he didn’t put his body weight on the players leg, I think they should fight it. I’d support fighting it to reduce to a grade 1. There were a numb...

BJ

Surely Kikau and Preston deserved lowest grade fine charges.

Preston connected Whitehead flush on the jaw with an upward moving shoulder. That’s a key element they look for.

The judiciary is a complete lottery sometimes. That Morgan Smithies charge last week was absolutely ridiculous.

BJ

The key for Strange will be how he evolves once opposition coaches pick a chink in his armour. They’ll coach all his usual attacking and defensive moves and decisions into their players and it will get harder for him. But he’s working off a good base and has the core skills to further develop his g...

Shout out to the experience and Rugby League football knowledge of Elliot Whitehead. He knew how Kikau would react to the defensive line and Elliot was in place to smash him before Kikau even knew what was happening. Masterclass in defensive decision making and defensive execution by the skipper. I ...

Forget 14, he could be the fullback I think fullback is probably his best position Agree. If he can work on his positioning and talk he could blossom into an excellent fullback. It might be a waste of his talent, but he’d be an awesome winger in the sniffing around the ruck and backing up a break B...
