Someone please call a Waaaaambulance, people are picking on the messiah! Stop talking sense mate... it is obvious old fox WB isn't to blame for anything. He didn't bring Boyd to the club when we had zero need of a Fullback. We only had Barba, Kahu, Jayden Nikorima, Kodi Nikorima and Anthony...

That's the problem with tackling stats. What isn't taken into account about ineffective or missed tackles is the fact they were at least attempted, and how likely they were to be successful. A stretched arm tackle is often a last ditch attempt with very low probability of success, yet will be...

And the team roster as a whole was perfect for Bennett ball too.

One thing that I noticed, is that besides being incapable of controlling the ruck, our team seems to be easily caught and outnumbered on the edges regularly, which is something that did not happen with Boyd as custodian (no, I am not advocating to return Boyd to FB!). This is not an attempt to...

Quit the bickering please and move on... both of you!

I was really happy when Seibs came to the club. I maintain he was the best choice available (given Bellamy's shenanigans), but the best part was that it meant the cancerous tumor at the club was being excised. I am without a doubt disappointed about the current state of affairs and Anthony is...

I like the cut of your jib, although I'm not quite onboard with the captaincy (nothing against Lodge, who has been a great example of redemption), or minutes and bench usage. Three different locks in one game is too much for me, and Carrigan (my captain, although I could live with a shared...

Yup, I was appalled at the time, and when I said so, the usual suspects all came out the woodwork to blame it on my WB/Boyd dislike. There was more support for the deal here than you would think...

I'm loving the Panthers game for SVRL purposes... so far.

Please tell me more about the referee not influencing the outcome of the game... Stats for first half, with reasonably equal possession and despite the ref: Stats for second half, completely influenced by the refs and compounded by an almost flawless Manly team:

Now now, I expect better from you. That's just sad. It's one thing to defend him from bullshit agendas, and another to say he can do no wrong, but by all means, keep blaming the 1 million dollar man. Tall poppy syndrome is well and truly alive.

Yeah of course you would, especially given the knowledge it won't happen, but hey, it's a swell sound bit. I'm sure you'd blame a surgeon for not saving a man's life on the operating table if he earned $500k, because on that money, he should be able to perform a perfect triple bypass, even if...

I doubt any current NRL player would be able to perform much better under the circumstances and the players around him, no matter the amount on their payslip.

That's absolute bullshit. It's a loose carry every day of the week, but worse than that, are the 2 opposite obstruction calls, where a clear tackle decision by DCE was called an obstruction, and a clear interference by a forward was called a tackle decision from Croft. We should've been 24-nil...

Fucking Highway robbery. That is all...

I am more concerned that they might reach a high ceiling and we won't be able to keep them due to cap restraints... It doesn't play to be a development club in the NRL. Anyway, without an attitude fix, their talent won't take them to the heights they could otherwise reach. I just hope we don't...

Scares me less than Hopoate there. He was so out of place in a dreadful team, it's not funny.

What happened to Arthars? I know he wasn't great, but no one was in the last couple of games, so he's a bit of a scapegoat, when he probably would suit the left centre position much better than the muppet we have there. I understand the need to have all the experience we can get in the team...

That is what I fear may lack in Seibs... if he's going to handle these kids with gloves, it needs to be boxing ones!

No one saw it coming... Bunch of puppets being manipulated by people like Slothfield fishing for clicks, imagine that. P.S. I'm not sure whether I was more amused or disgusted by the idea of the likes of Badel or Hooper with Slothfields arms all the way up their arses...
