I'll take that, we were looking at both of them out for the season a few days ago.

Flegs isn't that long and Riki should be back before the finals.

If we make the finals.

 

[Mustafur]

If we make the finals.

We are in a better position than last year I'm fairly confident we are fine.

 

[McHunt]

We are in a better position than last year I'm fairly confident we are fine.

Yes we are, but let's hope we don't limp into the finals and go out week 1. That would only roll us back to Seibold's first season.

Tough run home and I don’t think we have been all that convincing in a while now.

Far better meaning we have 1 more win then we did at this round of the season last year?

 

[McHunt]

Far better meaning we have 1 more win then we did at this round of the season last year?

Far better meaning the Panthers have 4 more losses than this round of last year.

 

[Mustafur]

Far better meaning we have 1 more win then we did at this round of the season last year?

And 1 bye.

Plus experience and a significantly better fullback, arguably the best in the competition.

Sure we will miss him for a few games but I don't doubt he will come back firing.

 

[Kimlo]

Sorry, I missed that. Edit: no, I didn't. I think that's where I read about the exemption and then I saw NRL.com had him coming back a round later.


I don't remember the Radley ruling. That fucker is always suspended. I hope he's not suspended against us so he can get sent off and suspended again.

I remember Lote's TBA. At least there's none of those shenanigans necessary.


I'm a bit suss about @Mr Fourex

His suspension return has been updated to round 21, so they've counted origin.

I've never been too anti-Badel...until now. That comment about Walsh looking like "Justin Bieber" was disgusting. **** him.

 

[lynx000]

Definitely Fox will wank over this.

Problem was Walsh was summoned immediately to the judiciary, hit with a vague charge which centred around a disputed issue, but could always fall back on a vague charge. It gave a false sense of security to pleading "Not Guilty" because they thought it was about calling the ref a ****. But they could always just say he was behaving badly towards the ref in general. So, they tricked them into a longer punishment.

Was always a dog and pony show.

If that is the case, that is on his representation. They should have sought particulars of the charge so it was expressly stated what the allegations were.

 

[Mustafur]

The biggest issue here is you haven't been Anti-Badel.

He is the worst RL journo which is a big achievement given the shit competition.

 

[Organix]

Totally agree. It was always going to be lost for him IF he had been trialled on simply back-chatting, BUT if they had accepted a guilty plea, then they most likely would have taken that as guilt of him swearing at the ref which was NEVER proven.

See how the game works?

It is indeed a Kangaroo Court, bouncing from claim to claim as it suits.

 

[Organix]

The former player takes on the Walsh issue say a lot IMO;
Tallis reckons the ref fucked up not calling it at the time. Should be fined for swearing and putting himself in that position, but if the consequence is 3 weeks, then it has to happen every time from now on. Media has too much influence in discussing the incident before the judiciary. Trial by media.
Big Willie thinks Walsh is being made an example of, because the refs have been being shat on recently, and Walsh is a poster-boy. Doesn't think the judiciary was a good look for the NRL.
Cam Smith and Denan also dislike the process.
Gus Gould thinks the microphones on the pitch are shit and that situation should have been handled by the ref, and anything following that is because of the media. I.e., if Reece wasn't punished on the field, then a report would be filed by the ref and dealt with without the media circus.

All the (IMO) bad takes come from people who haven't played NRL footy. Sure, they might ref it, but mostly it has been either Lawyers or Journalists with 0 game time.

Nah, he's actually pretty bland. I mean really fucking boring and utterly devoid of personality.

You blokes just get sand up in your Huggies over him because he files 100,000 words a week on the Broncos, when in reality there's **** all but the usual cliches and platitudes to report. If it weren't for him it would be crickets in the printed press. You would have to make it up yourself. And we've seen how that pans out.

Barely anyone else writes about us, and when they do it's the same histrionics and umbrage. No one here has a good word to say about anyone.

Here's what Peter Fitzsimons had to say about Walsh:

​

"The Broncos and Queensland fullback has been mesmerising this year, displaying skills and speed that have left opponents standing, while also showing a very likeable side. And then we got to last weekend, clearly shouting at the ref in the Broncos match against the Gold Coast, “What the f--- do you mean, c---?” when a call went against him, before – LUDICROUSLY – claiming he was saying it to his own team-mate Patrick Carrigan, not the ref."​

​

"(For your amusement the case was blown apart when Walsh’s Queensland Origin team-mate David Fifita testified: “He said to the ref ... I mean Patty”.) It was an ugly side of Walsh. The way forward?"​

​

"I am looking at you, Adam Reynolds. You are the senior player in the Broncos, respected by the lot of them as a fine man who has been around the block twenty times. Your job is to take Walsh out for a bite to eat and talk to him one-on-one. Tell him: mate, you have it all before you. Don’t blow it with this kind of carry-on. Play. Shut up. Concentrate. Keep growing. Give Walsh the correction he needs, that actually can’t come from the judiciary as much as their three-match suspension was warranted. It comes from senior players taking him in hand. You are the man."​

​

Adam Reynolds is the man to help save wunderkind Reece Walsh from himself

The judiciary penalty won’t get the Brisbane and Queensland excitement machine back on the right path. He needs his teammates to do that.

Quoting Peter Fitzsimmons is not a win, he's a well known union dribbler.

 

[Mr Fourex]

Exactly.....Fitzsimons is fuckwit. Shows you just how poor the RL media is, when someone is propping him up as one of the good guys.
