Burned at the stake... getting off a bit lightly I reckon!

Huge win agree game of 3/3rds. Really solid games for big boppers. Thaiday double his usual run meters. Lodge seemed a bit flat but hopefully a couple weeks on the bench with less minutes will freshen him up. Isaako terrible on wing. Reynolds very smart to target the fake kick cause rest of...

Yeah burning the ceo to go to WB house... f***ing microbrain on Boyd. Why not go to coach’s next day or after? Solidarity isn’t splitting the club down coach vs ceo. And why would WB allow it? Hard to know what the real story is but seems like things might be quite toxic?

Coaching genius here... all hail Bennett Play the unfit and underdone guy who can’t handle centre when he is rarely fit? Might change but for who? The rookie who struggled week before? On plus side for once Boyd might not be the most unsuited person for their position in the team.... Demote...

Well if you believe the quality journalism out there even a club legend can be sacked for telling Boyd the truth...

Wondering if we can get a poll going. Who at this point wishes we could have kept Ben Hunt (presuming would require increased offer closer to Dragons)?

That would be true if limping into the finals was a genuine chance. Sometimes got to think longer term. And sometimes a nice dunk in ice water might be more useful than a plush down mattress. I think majority of us have the agenda of Broncs winning bags of premierships (or at least one)...

Sucks was due for his final shot. How many more injuries this season? Can we have Staggs start now NRL?

By the end of the week it will be the Brisbane Crushers, Griffin will be coaching and JT will be captain coach... My understanding is everyone except TPJ has a contract. They will all say they want to leave when Bennett does until they don’t cause they have a contract and pay to collect. I...

It’s probably a nightmare managing modern players. Egos, entitlement, no taste of the real world since no jobs outside footy. Too much money and fame all while under constant media attention if u do f*** up. Townsville or Melbourne probably only places to play. Townsville likely protects its...

Agree board shouldn’t run team. But board is responsible for overall direction which includes review of senior stuff performance most notably the coach. Look at most of the big boards in the world. Most are business people not scientists for scientific companies and so forth. But board...

Mitchell Pearce? I know later on but already blew our wad all over bird. Could have pushed more for Ryley jacks when he was clearly on outer. You are tell me the he richest club in the game with the supposed greatest coach of all time can’t find something resembling a f***ing halfback? Or at...

I think the issue is Birds money could have supplemented that offer or been available to another halfback option... it is a zero sum game with the cap. Pay big dollars for a centre who doesn’t want to be a centre, a five eight on the Maccas diet or a lock without a sternum or whatever Bird is...

Which parts cause pretty sure he did fail to sign a halfback, sign a busted bird with no clear role in the team on good dollars (5 mill game last I heard), guaranteed Knik and refused to try anyone else other than a bird with a clipped wing, resigned a Gillo for longer without even one game post...

I am stating bring him back but isn’t with great enthusiasm rather lack of options and need to give him a final go given has shown promise. Better than a rookie teenage centre getting scarred in must win games with lots of weak links around him. Things change have to go with it else back...

When we did that a month or so ago Glenn got found out in less than 5 mins IIRC. How many more injuries do NrL want? Surely team doc can find a minor niggle in Opaic and Shiba that needs a 2 month rest . Would argue Kahu is struggling after his big jaw injury so that has to count. Or just...

His attack is fine as a running 5/8 or fullback. Or a running bench 9. Main issue beyond reads in defence however is can’t kick. It’s not his fault he’s a 5/8 not a half that can compliment Milf.

Maccas try assists were good but at expected standard for any NRL quality hooker. But even we accept he was good doesn’t change fact he isn’t holding up to 80 minutes. His best hope IMO to play well is less minutes. Don’t think that is too controversial?

Can he catch a ball and stay on his wing? We have two good centre options fit. If need to replace Kahu need a winger. Very unBENNETT like. New kids usually start on the wing especially if crunch game.

So how did that Boyd switch back work out? Score a few tries. Set up a bunch more. Not let in a few tries while standing around with hands on hips... Playing a first game rookie at centre in a must win game for no reason other than to accomodate Boyd to fullback? That didn’t cost a try did...
