Testimonial "game"? Who the fk else do they pay to get to play in this farce or is it going to be just a 1 on 1 wankfest where they take turns blowing each other..
Agree that it's inexperience on the part of your younger players.
For example Tom's didn't need to make those do or die passes for those intercepts when we're already up by so much on the board.
Hopefully he'll learn from the experience.
If we're not good enough to account for a Storm team missing Smith and Slater and the Roosters who we beat earlier on in the season then we'd probably just be making up numbers in the 8 anyway.
Dragons game hopefully was a good wake up call. And our run home after the next 2 games is not that...
Green worked well in the Melbourne system so there's no reason why he couldn't do the job here as well.
I think talks of replacing him are more due to his age than his ability. He's performed pretty well for us and fulfilled his role.
It was a complete stich up by perenara. A terrible performance by the refs.
However proud of the team for their defence and staying that close. Watching their performance only added to my confidence come finals time.
Assuming the refs play fair of course....
Really like the strong statement from the club. Gives me some hope it really is just E H trying to come up with an excuse for his payments to K F, and the police trying to trap him by claiming that payments outside the cap can be prosecuted for fraud.
FFS.
I may be in denial here but what do people think about this hypothetical scenario.
Players were actually getting paid cash for possibly throwing games and other betting outcomes and the police are able to trace the money trail. However they can't actually link it to any betting plunges...
I feel bad for Jorge as it kind of feels like our medical staff failed him by leaving him out there. Especially when he's off contract.
It can't be underestimated how much work he does taking the hitups out of our half. Will not be able to be easily replaced.
Here's hoping we do re-sign him as...
Glad they didn't pick DCE.
That way, ideally NSW smash QLD for a couple of their players "representitive retirement" games.
Then DCE can come in next year for a fresh start without the Qld "seniors leadership group" that think they own the team.
Hoping dce doesn't play so I can properly cheer NSW on to smash them....
DCE never played poorly in the games he played, its the lazy ass forwards like Thaiday that just didn't do anything for him eg. run decoys push up in support etc. Only need to look at the comparisons between the work they...
All the teams we are playing except for the sharks are below us on the ladder and generally having a bad season. Despite losing Tom, I'd be disappointed to lose to any of them besides perhaps the raiders and sharks.
I remember the games where DCE was starting half and basically it wasn't him that was the problem, it was his forwards.
If you watch when Cronk plays the forwards push up as either support or decoy runners. When DCE was doing the same he was running up all alone and basically taking a hitup...
