It's hard to put a positive spin on much of that. That's coming from a guy who normally finds it easy to twist the numbers to paint whatever story he wants. I do it all the time lol! Wayne Bennett and Anthony Seibold. A scoreless draw at the moment. The Broncos never progressed in the finals...

Good post and agree completely that the salary cap is not working. To be honest though, it never did work effectively. It did succeed, to an extent, in putting limits on clubs overspending but it's showing glaring flaws with every passing year. The main problem with it is that clubs still can't...

The entire interview was a fluff piece. I'm very skeptical about this "review" that has taken place. I'm skeptical of a lot of the news that's been reported to come out of Red Hill lately. Too much bullshit for my liking. Paul White is in a quandary. In the beginning, it was so simple...

Is there any evidence that the Roosters are rorting the salary cap? I mean actual proof not make believe stuff or conspiracy theories? It is totally absurd to think the NRL would look the other way on a team cheating the salary cap in this day and age. They seem to have mastered the art of...

I never really rated him, tbh. Looking at some highlights though I admit I may have been a bit too hasty in writing him off. He's got a terrific short passing game. He takes the line on well and his kicking game is better than probably anyone on the Broncos roster. Forget about the money...

I voted no. I like Lodge but I don't see him as captain. It wasn't widely reported (perhaps because it was nonsense...maybe not) but one of the final nails in Wayne Bennett's coffin here was him publicly backing Matt Lodge. The media backlash should have been predictable. Perhaps the...

Haha yeah mate. Full disclosure... I don't follow AFL but rusted-on Aussie Rules fans going through the motions during their preliminary finals week were very funny to read. What was your favourite conspiracy theory? The one about how the AFL wants Collingwood to win because it would mean...

I'm going for the Raiders. They've proved the experts wrong for two games now. Fingers crossed they can do it one more time. Bounce the Roosters early then hang on for dear life. I like their resilience and not dropping their heads in the face of adversity. A good example was the...

I'm optimistic about this move. He was shifted to the centers last year and didn't go too badly. Let's see what a full pre-season does.

Do we need to hire the Coach Whisperer? Bradley Charles Stubbs. The Broncos could learn something from his 'expect to win' philosophy.

The most amazing thing about this tale is the how they didn't overdo it. They weren't drinking. What? Do they know what sport they're playing? Not even just a little sip? Storm in a teacup, lads. Y'know what was eye opening about reading Thurston's biography was learning just how much of a...

Not at all. Absolute legend of the club. Deserves to go out on his own terms.

Unnecessary. Utterly despicable. That performance undermines the moral well-being of the good people of the city of Brisbane.

The truth is in the middle. 2015 was Queensland's greatest year for Rugby League. The apex of QLD's dominance in the State of Origin arena. The first all-Queensland Grand Final. It's like a religion north of the border. It's easy to understand why the NRL and Channel Nine want another...

Super impressive from the Roosters. High quality Rugby League. Feel a bit for Souths. Probably hard to beat the same team twice in two weeks. Go out there and save face and come back strong next week.

Fair enough. I still think Milford should have held it.

I had nothing better to do mate. I still have a bit of spare time now. Moving on... I've been thinking a bit about refs screwing teams over. Bad calls. Incorrect calls. and what have you. So the refs got the call wrong. Big deal. If I manage to source a copy and watch the game again, I'm...

The referees are fine. There's a sneaky little hand in the play the ball in pretty much every tackle in every game these days. It's one of the most hilarious things about the penalty crackdown last year. The refs are 'ruining' the game. It says a lot about the state of Rugby League that no...

The Rabbitohs have scored some spectacular tries this year. The Cook and Gagai ones from our game were the best I've seen this year. They scored another one last night - think it was Cody Walker. Their support play is great. All of them back up and cover each other. Helluva team.

I don't think they did. This story is being driven by someone who works at Channel Nine. I forget his name. What they'd like to see to coincide with a new broadcast deal is a Sydney team being culled to make way for a second Brisbane team. The theory being that a rivalry between two...
