Jarryd Hayne's back!

For the first 60mins of tonight there was no sight of Oates, and after 30 or so of those 60mins it really started to bother me. He's a talent and a match winner. Some people think he's a back, others think he's a running backrower. Personally, I think he has the talent to be either. But not...

I asked a couple of WB and Boyd related questions amongst the survey. At the time they felt more token than anything but given all the talk about both lately it's probably time to reveal how people voted. Well, almost time anyway. Results coming soon!

Still keeping the Broncos version of the poll open until we get knocked out but voting is now closed for the NRL surveys. For all of these questions, I asked respondents to only base their views on performances going back 2013 as I am interested in the best going around, rather than those with...

Anyone watched Hard Knocks this year? Haven't checked it out and keen to know if this year's is any good.

Not too far away now! Wondering what @pennywisealfie thinks of Suarez in a Barca shirt. Other notable transfer moves so far: Alexis Sanchez --> Arsenal Cesc Fabregas & Diego Costa --> Chelsea Luke Shaw & Ander Herrera --> Man Utd Adam Lallana & Lazar Markovic --> Liverpool Toni Kroos --> Real...

After seeing tonight's game I can't help but feel this is going to be manipulated and become a story at some point in the year. Free interchange for concussion protocol, free interchange to come back on if you aren't concussed. Players stay down to try and get penalties all the time. At some...

If Kemp can have one good year and get his own circle jerk thread, then SJ certainly deserves one too. He has 1 good year and a highlights reel and a try against us. That's more than what Kemp can claim! Make it happen G

Still can't believe that McGuire dropped Issac Luke. Did Luke try to break a leg in training or something? Eels would be the perfect game to play him back into form, given their defence is made up of humpty dumpty eggshells.

In here. Twiztid, if you are reading this, what's the go with James Roberts. Not named in TYC or NSW Cup as far as I can see. I believe he resumed full running about a month back and am eagerly awaiting my fantasy saviour to return!

Somewhat of a follow up to the previous thing about what makes a Supercoach, but not really. Anyway, it seems to me that there is more and more instances of players following coaches these days. Boyd follows Bennett like a bad smell, and WB obviously has others that love to follow him, such as...

Just wanted to bag out next week. The footy has been pretty good so far. Some crap games here and there (I'm looking at you, Parra) but for the most part I've found it quite entertaining and something to look forward to. And then they go ahead and take a whole week off to play a couple of...

Looks like the Panthers have filed a complaint about the state of the ground after losing Nathan Smith to what I believe is a serious injury. Just when you thought the Eels couldn't find new ways to fail, here they are, proving me wrong. Also, great effort by the people of Perth tonight --...

http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/nrl/nrl-referee-matt-cecchin-has-come-out-publicly-as-being-gay/story-e6frep5x-1226268632196?from=public_js Pretty brave decision to come out whilst still refereeing. I do wonder what kind of abuse he might cop from the home fans if their team is losing.

Whilst pondering why the Sharks would pay 350k a year to Carney (and then thinking there's probably nobody better to spend it on) it occurred to me: Why not just pay Gallen 1mil the first year then 100k the next 2 years and go spending in those last 2 years? Or is it not possible to front end...

Wonder who it is. Personally, I'm rooting (in a metaphorical sense) for Benitez. It's just the kind of thing that is needed to get him out icon_thumbs_u

Does goalkeeping get any finer than this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzNmyaQjQww I don't think so [icon_lol1. [icon_lol1. [icon_lol1.

Just won the World Championship [icon_ee Absolutely amazing. About time he attacked [icon_lol1.

Is it just me, or has the concept of retirement become a complete joke? It used to mean something - the farewell, final home game etc. In a way, it was an event. But now, every second guy seems to be coming out of retirement. If someone announces their retirement, there's a close to even chance...
