Re: 2016 Rd 7 V Sharks: Fans' Choice Player of the Year
Easiest game in a long time to score
3 Rapana
2 Leilua
1 Tapine
They were a long way ahead of the rest, even Hodgson

The Broncos also looked very average against a Dragons side that couldn't score to save ...

Re: 2016 Rd 6 V Eels: Game Day
First half was hard to watch but all is not lost just yet - after all, your average FGer has the attention span of a gnat. Parra is perfectly capable of coming out in the second half and playing like s*#t while Raiders only need four tries in 40 minutes.

Yep, there is no indicator on a stat sheet that shows giving away a stupid penalty at the most crucial part of the game. It's not even like he was trying to slow down the ruck.

Talk about a 1 man team. I dont even think the dogs are playing that well. They don't need to be playing that wee, do they? Just hold the ball for six tackles and they're making 70-80m every time.

Re: Hit after field goal
Gents, the rule is that if there is foul play on the kicker after a field goal attempt and the ball goes through the posts, the ensuing penalty must be a kick at goal from 10m out, directly in front. If the field goal attempt misses, the penalty can be whatever you want. But the penalty would have ...

I didn't think Lachlan should have been given a start today but now he's been picked in FG I would hate to see him dropped after one bad match. If he's fit to play next week I hope he's given another chance. Of course, going off early also gives Ricky the chance to drop him and blame an injury

Re: 2016 Rd 2 V Roosters: Teams and Previews
I expect Wighton to be named at five-eighth tomorrow and I expect him to play five-eighth on the weekend.
With both halves out for up to six weeks, I can't see Ricky gambling one-quarter of the season on a kid who isn't playing men yet.

Tapine looks more suited to back row than front row to me and I'd say his signing is bad news for Fensom and/or Papa. Fensom (sadly) just doesn't have the impact a forward needs in an era where everyone is 6"2' and Papa is just too inconsistent to justify the money he is (reportedly) on. I gues...
