The money they get from fines is **** all compared to the cost to run the game. But instead of players just racking up fines, they should come with, say, 50 points. That way the second offence comes with a suspension regardless.
The more I reflect, the more 4 weeks seems bullshit. It was classed as "reckless" which we all claimed it should be, but Grade 2? It was high, it was a shoulder charge (not just an arm), and it was late. Like criminal charges, maybe they need to stack the relevant multiple charges for the one...
10 years ago, having a player gone for 10 would mean you'll concede 1-2 tries and be absolutely gassed. Probably 80-90% chance you'd lose the game. But now the fucking refs "manage" the game, the calls all go towards the team with 12 so that the spectacle doesn't get ruined. So there is now very...
We know how it ends. They declare they'll be tough on it, and somehow a Bronco will do something incredibly minor and be the one who gets an example made of them.
I just love the fact that on the weekend they were asking as many Maroons players as they could where Cobbo would play.
They ask Hunt and he says that he's been practicing in the middle. Cue laughter. So they ask Collins and he says that he's been working on his timing to take the first run...
It's the result of him thinking he already had it all. His running game and the by-product of being allusive is what got him the big money in first grade, but he just steadfast refused to acknowledge that even with all the talent in the world, you need to keep developing. And I do mean refuse...
This is why I DO want Walsh playing Origin. Slater wasn't as erratic as Walsh, but they both shared the trait of going for low-percentage hero plays. Slater learned to get it out of his game, he needs to impart that wisdom in Reece. And having that lesson coming from one of the great fullbacks...
What a horrible fucking game to attend, I haven't been for over a year and that's what I got to witness. From where we were watching, it looked like the Broncos couldn't wrap the ball up. So many half-arse grabby tackles allowing offloads and half breaks, meaning our defence was constantly...
Someone needs to go back through ye olde games and see just how often "hip drops" occurred but the players didn't stay down because they weren't bitches. Not saying they aren't potentially dangerous, but Keppe went from crippled to try-scorer in less than 6 tackles.
TBF, what it looks like happens in the Roosters video is that they read out a comment from someone that their mum died, and for whatever reason the morons get the giggles. They are trying to keep the giggles off-camera but it just makes it worse.
More importantly, don't give them the opportunities down our end. High completion, smart kicking, and strong first contact so we win tackles and don't need to wrestle (and concede 6 against which the refs will be aching for). Our high-risk plays are suicide if the opposition isn't fatigued, earn...
18th man is a genuine chance of playing with the upgraded concussion protocols, so I genuinely think they'll have someone more versatile than Mam. Especially if Hunt is on the bench as he can cover 6, 7 or 9. Someone like Capewell who can cover forwards and backs, or Brimson who can cover 1-6...
It was that obvious, that the only other conclusion is that they were pretending. Which, considering the circumstances, would be only marginally less dumb than actually doing it.
