What? Has Staggs acting career taken off?

It's always been my thoughts that a player plays in the position the coach wants him to, if the club has any hope of success. Surely the white/siebold years burnt that lesson into us. Let the marketing department do what they can but you get more bums on seats and higher ratings from winning...

He will be a good player. Hes just very young. That's alright. In a few years time he won't make some of the mistakes he made tonight. He kept trying and it's something Milford needs to learn and a few of our younger backs too. Isaako shows that kind of resilliance as do the older backs...

Kelly plays a lot like Corey Norman at 5/8. I liked how he bounce back from that bad kick. Tyson definitely is a hot head but a binning with the game decided after that kind of performance I can forgive. Likewise with lodge (an obvious square up if ever I saw one from the ref). Whilst it...

I suspect if you go back further in time, you will see the trend continue for the most part. I suspect every time the rules are changed to speed up the game there will be a corresponding divulgance in winning margins. Teams adjust and the margins come back some but always the overall numbers...

I think we are starting to the fruits of labours that put a dull ideology of "fitter, faster, stronger" ahead of understanding why things like the salary cap were brought in the first place. I keep reiterating it but anyone making changes to this game needs to ask some very basic questions but...

Let's face it, either would be an asset but I think capewell would serve us better. He does problems with both centre and second row, is a mature player, and still has plenty of years left in him. Sua is no mug either and I do think we still need some second row depth for next year. He...

If they go with that, I got a lease on the Gateway Bridge they might go for whilst they are at it.

Well it was built on a cemetery and we have had enough slaughters to count as bloody sacrifices, so why not go the whole way. Staggs brings the weird sex acts. There we have it: the cult of the horse! Morkel! We need your holy water!

Unfortunately I remember inglis

I actua actually think he has been improving week to week and whilst last week wasn't his best, I noticed his link play come on, along with running in support. I think he still has a couple of mental hurdles with his focus and concentration but right I don't see any other alternatives around...

The Nrl would be the employer. Surely that would be allowed. Salaries would be paid by the NRL, not the club (although clubs could pay whatever after a base salary). We have NRL employees now, and the contract would be independent of club association. Players could still choose not to play...

The club could and would pay whatever they like but it wouldnt result in a bidding war as the club is paying the NRL to use the player and the NRL takes the highest bid regardless of what the player is paid. It does mean the player does not necessarily get to choose their club the way it is now...

I think people are missing the bigger picture in either their disappointment or elation on every new signing to or from a club. Every time a player leaves one club for another, it does 3 things. It diminishes the player's brand to the old club, reduces the club's brand and diminishes the...

To my mind Walters deserves his shot as head coach. I loved Wayne Bennet as coach for the passion the players showed under him, the junior patgwa

As a side note the ground was originally built upon a cemetary. I pity the poor journalist that runs into his ghost. There's some serious payback coming from the afterlife there.

Loan him to Newcastle?

I think a portion of that will be for potential. After all, how many tries has he actually scored on his own. Farnsworth and staggs have done far more, as has Isaako for that matter and I doubt we are fighting off contenders for Isaako. He's not being seen as a career winger or even centre...

If there was a long term option on par with hi.m, I'd say drop him for them but I'm not sure that true right now. Niu is the obvious candidate, followed by cobbo but neither seem ready yet. So that leaves another question. Is he a better player currently to the likes of Copley, read or...

The media seem to be painting the effect of the new rules changes as an unmitigated success but the speight of lopsided results must be a concern. We are no longer seeing thrashings to the cellar dwellers of the comp, but also fellow top 4 contenders. It seems the once difficult route of...
