Martin's ribs might be an explanation. It was a good result. We should simply be pleased, forget the game and look forward to a refreshed team back soon, winning.

Don't disagree generally with you here but I think the forwards will probably cancel each other out of the equation. It will be the 5th tackle smoothness which will go a long way to deciding the game. I hope it's well rehearsed and at a moderate pace for certainty.

Not mentioning them here so not about them, just about beating the established players at the new club a player goes to.

Probably still faster to first grade for him. Those two might be more experienced but that won't mean shit when clearly inferior but reliable performance is contrasted with a better talent with his better skill set who produces 'on demand' quality. Maybe more mistakes but shit happens. You can...

More importantly we maintain our first half average. If Melbourne have only scored 10-12 first half I'd be happy at half time. Even more so if we'd scored at least once.

Was a good call wasn't it?

Oh, absolutely if you have them perfectly placed and your body is receptive to the particular drug employed he could play as if nothing was different. Of course a knock right on the spot or stretching a certain and particular way would still produce considerable pain. You'd know then how good...

Never thought we had much to worry about. Paix will recover quickly and although we were certain to lose the tremendous Herbivore I thought Haas would be fine, basically a burner. The way Ren moved reminded me of myself, after what we now know is the same injury I've had. Takes six weeks to...

Our 5th tackle options need to be very controlled and when we've had a good 'rolling forward' set kicking to the corners with a lower punched trajectory is a great idea. I wish I could convince more people that a seven tackle set against us is not the horrible result so many make it out to be...

Paix will make a miracle recovery.

A really good tackle does not require two extra players to hold a halfback in order to allow a late third tackler in to do damage especially after he'd plainly been called 'held'.

I don't think it was filmed and I looked for footage. I'm sure they would have celebrated but if they were subdued that tells you something too I'd say. To me it might indicate that the well being of a brother (or more) is more important than winning, the very essence of a great team.

I doubt they're broken but you may well be right. I'm thinking cartilage and I know from experience how painful it is. Every breath you take.

The injuries won't derail this season. Reynolds will play with a needle. Haas won't be out for long. Staggs and Capes will be back in and Lee and or Hoeter will do a job if required. Paix is a concern but with luck won't be out long. Herbs fucked. We will still be competitive all season long...

We had quite a few bad calls against us tonight so a very special win. Worth more than two points I think, another win next week, a real possibility announces we're challenging for a GF THIS YEAR.

We are fine! Everyone knows what to do now, even Billy will do a good tradesman like job. We can play millionaire rugby league now, free of pressure. We won't be given any chance of winning by most but if everyone does their regular job on the day we could definitely snag a win such is the...

You don't win the gf in June but you can lose your chance then. Important solid win, Melbourne style. Replacement players did a fine job. Reynolds will be restricted next week and we can now really look forward to playing Melbourne. Tonight's two points pays in advance for a likely loss next...

As predicted!

Two tries off forward passes but we will keep them scoreless in the second half. We got this. Bit worried that Flegler might be ready for an 'off' night though.

We won't stop them scoring but we can limit them to 16-18 points and we should get it done. Lot of people haven't really noticed but KW Ikin and DD hace set about building a team based on Bellamy's Melbourne. That means a real focus on each role, a set of expectations and guidelines specific to...
