Cheers, yeh some deaths in the family we are working through...

...appreciate that, been rough time for my family at the moment, good to have things to take ones mind away... I mean, you can look again at the damage he does here... Beats one, draws in three to finally bring him down... But look at what that did to the on-side defence of the Phins...

Looking back at our best premiership winning teams, it is hard not to argue a key member of each was who was Prop. Glenn Lazarus Shane Webke And now - Payne Haas? Is he the guy to lead this team to glory? We have already witnessed just how much influence Madge has had on his game. We see him...

What me worry? Could be worse - could be a Eels supporter... Or a Cowboys supporter. I'm not judging the teams chances or potential based on our 2nd straight away fixture. I thought preperations would be affected for this game given the cyclone - it did appear it took 40 minutes of football...

One of the Vegas sides just lost - no reason why "another" one won't do the same... C'mon Bronocs....

Redcliffe could place their hat in the ring for Cobbo - they have quite a few veterens leaving. Now, just cause they open up the cap space to grab him - SHOULD they be doing that? Fleglers career is in the balance for instance. They have quite a lot of holes to fill first beofre spunkiing a...

Did I hear right that Des has placed Fifita on the bench? Honestly.....Gold Coast...!

Well, theres another point to make here too. The way Madge is handling Paynes minutes. It takes concerntration and energy to accurately throw those passes, to recognise he can get 1v1 against a smaller, leg tacking opponent... Shorter spells with 100% effort. This is the Payne Haas you get...

Well, seems my eyes didn't deceive me. Thanks to those brilliant folk at Rugby League Writers, who also saw the same thing. Haas is running a wider line than usual, engaging the centre and edge forward and setting up a short side mismatch in numbers. Note both the mess at marker + the quick...

Yeh - you can see Pongas old man storming into Newcastles board room and demand his son be released to join the Swans or something....

Come to think of it - which deal will work out better. Brown to the Knights. Luai to the Tigers?

I'm sorry - but fuckin what!!! Who on earth sanctioned this deal at the Knights? No wonder Parra said "Yeh champ, it's been nice and all, but....seeya". Would "you" sanction so much of your salary cap into two players like him and Ponga? Sure, i admit Newcastle are now completely out of...

A good time to be playing the Raiders now i reckon, it will be a good barometer for what we just saw from the lads in Rd 1. As mentioned previously, we want to see discipline and structure for the first 40 minutes. I don't expect a complete 80 minute performance this early in the new season...

Ah...very "green" you say - I see what you did there!!!!

Our two worst team stats from last year was our defence and metres gained per match. Yeh....about that. Clearly, these deficiencies have been identified, and at least for a game, fixed. I'd like to give it a month of football before declaring anything grand.. But Madge (a.k.a. Mr Maguire)...

Congrats Madge, you've got the boys locked in from the very off....

Solid first half there, played within ourselves, when the opportunities presented, took full advantage of them. The field is already cut up heaps. I've no problem playing wihtin oursleves here. Fancy stuff not needed. Stay disciplined, stick to the plan, and this Roosters team will provide us...

First time tonight our line has been under pressure.....nicely done lads

Excellent kick chase

No probs taking a easy 2 pts; we have tiem to score another try here...
