Prison slang what the **** are you talking about?

Not gonna bother digging up old posts, but you never have anything good to say about them. Slyney, Bond, Capewell, Georgetown, Berryman etc all in the past.

Also - before you continue to criticise the performance against the Tigers you might want to look at some facts. They were playing with 12 men for 60 minutes or so after Capewell was sent off. And as sore as this may sound, the refereeing was terrible. Was actually a good all round effort all things considered.

You tell me what you meant by potting then.

It's a baseless accusation especially when I wrote this on Saturday.

With our squad the way it is right now, I reckon Bond would be the way to go if Norman doesn't show any improvement.

Potting aka saying someone's no good.

Good onya, you've come a little way since his signing was announced last year. Helps when you actually see someone play before POTTING them doesn't it.

On topic - Storm should win but just hoping to see improvement. Seen a bit of criticism levelled at Prince since the Roosters game - actually thought he created some half chances a few times but his runners had absolutely no idea and ended up running into the back of him. If they worked out the lines to run off Prince we'd improve significantly.

There's little chance we are going to win this game, however I reckon we have a big chance of Hodges injuring his hammy again and possibly out for the rest of the year. You know it's going to happen!

Another piss poor effort against Melbourne and a few blokes should be dropped. Deadset, Hook needs to give them a what have you. Forget this nice guy, don't panic shit, too many "walk up starts" in the Broncos from the captain down.

Thaiday, Reed, Wallace. I am looking at you.

I hope Norman is dropped. He's poison, lazy, always has been. He no longer has a future at the club so don't waste another second on him.

Hodgo loves pushing an early return only to be at 60% - remember Locky's last State of Origin.

Everybody chill out and have a sandwich

Who is going to the game, i'm going with dad and I might have my 1st pre-game Caxton drink.

i thin hodges will be fine. anyone but hodges and they would of played last week.

I've already resigned to the fact we will be without him for a good long time after this game against Melbourne if he plays. There's no way his hammy is going to survive against a physical team like Melbourne. Unless he plays it safe, I've seen him do that before. Not contribute much and only put in 50%. Then you gotta ask why play him? Then again, his 50% is probably 200% better than anyone else's effort in the team, apart from Glenn that is. By the way, hated Hoffman at fullback, liking what I see, at least this early, from him playing on the wing. He might develop into a good winger/center. Certainly got a bit more pace to him this year.

its good friday the caxton will be shut, along with all the other pubs.

i heard on the radio that the stadium is opening their bar early though.

Our halves aren't going to do anything once again if McCullough takes forever getting them the ball. Main thing I want to see from him is picking the ball up and passing it all in one motion when on the attack. The extra 1 second could be vital. And less pointless running inside the opposition 20, let the others do the work. Even with Griffin's conservative plan, that should still be something we do. Of course I can't be sure our halves are good enough with with that extra time.

its not only that but as soon as the halves are more than 5 metres from macca the pass is more times than not a poor one. the halves are constantly stopping, jumping, reaching forward to catch his passes and it immediately stagnates any momentum the halves were trying to impose on the play.

the bloke just cant pass. the position in the team that passing is most important and we have a bloke that cant do it.

It could be because he picks up the ball, take a step or two and then passes it, so they just overrun it by the time it gets to them. If he passed it straight off the ground, I reckon it wouldn't happen so much, provided his accuracy wasn't too bad.

Yeah stadium will have an outside drinking area from 4:30 i think
