I know we love to bag the poms for their whinging, but it shouldn't mask the fact that England will be a very dangerous team next time they tour Australia. Harry Brook looks like a class player who will only get better by the time he gets to Australia. Pope also has a lot of potential has an...

England only have themselves to blame. They really should be 3-0 up in this series, but crumbled from dominant positions in the first 2 tests. This result probably saves Warner’s career. He likely get a middling score in the last test and be enough for him to be picked at home where he will dine...

Australia’s 2-1 lead in this series is misleading. England really lost the first 2 tests, they threw away commanding positions in both tests. Aussies arrogantly went in with a bowling attack, which apart from Starc are very similar for this test and it has backfired. Just checked the forecast...

What is everyone’s first choice team if everyone is fit? It will be hard to leave one of Riki, Capewell, Piakura, Hetherington or Taupau out of our top 17. Here is what I’d go with: 1. Walsh 2. Oates 3. Staggs 4. Farnsworth 5. Cobbo 6. Mam 7. Reynolds 8. Flegler 9. Walters 10. Haas 11...

As a keeper myself, I often use this tactic, but only when batters are batting out of their crease, more mind games than anything. I had a successful one in my final in March. Don't think I would do it for a batter who is in their crease and is going to do some gardening.

I was comfortable with the Reece Walsh situation, until I listened to The Captain's Run and Kempy and Smith turned me around, and now I'm angry at the process, but agree with Kempy that Walsh needed to be levelled and this will/should do it for him.

The season was going along so swimmingly, with no injuries really detailing the team and allowing combinations to form. Thankfully our spine is still in good shape, but 2nd row is so important defensively. Hopefully we can have someone step up to the mark.

Not the worst shout…

Actually crawled forward on his hands and knees ffs!

Good thing we had a free ticket. I would have been demanding my money back if I had of paid to see that pathetic showing.

I guess we’ll find out at some point today. The squad will be cut to 19. Either Paix is left right out, Smoothy included in the 19 or Smoothy cut all together.

Once a team is eliminated from finals contention, fans are asked to nominate to coach the team for a week. The club will then draw a name randomly. Fans will only continue to coach the team if they win. If they lose another fan is drawn out for the following week. This idea will make sure that...

And kick for touch?

Here’s another one I’ve thought the NRL should have had for ages: Players should be allocated a number and not have to change their jersey numbers if they change position. I think I was the only one who liked the numbering system at the World Cup.

7 tackle sets should only be awarded to kicks from outside the 30 & should never be awarded for knock-ons in goal. If a player is making a genuine attempt at a tackle and touches the ball after a player passes the ball it should not be called as ‘played at’. Penalty kicks should be worth 3 points

Random thought during game: Is this game the first time in Broncos’ history we have had 2 sons of former players in our team? I can’t think of any other matches this has happened.

Hope Nuggets win it all!

It is the team that ran out last night with Oates in for Arthars & Reynolds in for Madden.

Again, not totally upset with that loss. Penrith are the back-to-back Premiers and were excellent in defence. We were without Reynolds, but we defended really well and should give us confidence going forward. We really need to work on our discipline and attacking decision making. There is a lot...

Walsh is having a shocker. No chance of playing Origin now. Really needed him to step up in Reynolds’ absence.
