    Dragons v Dogs Round 1

    I have to say, that refs call saying it was a strip has to be one of the worst calls ever. As Flanno said, it was a loose carry any day of the week. If we had a challenge up our sleeve, I am certain the bunker would have deemed it a loose carry. It has been said many times over many years now...

    Dragons v Dogs Round 1

    Good post. I agree wholeheartedly. Jenkins would give us a bit more speed and agility on the wing and can cover centre or even fullback if needed and would be rather cheap. Purdue would give us some speed and X factor at fullback or 5/8 and can cover centre. I have previously mentioned...

    Dragons v Dogs Round 1

    I know who is available for fullback next year and is still officially unsigned beyond this year. He played a bit there on Sunday, when Drinkwater was off the field injured and made a good run from a kick return if my memory serves me correctly. He could also be a top 5/8 to pair with Reed, if...

    Dufty did play in the halves as a junior.

    Dragons v Dogs Round 1

    When in high school in year 12, we were playing in a grand final in a school touch football competition against a team in year 9, who had a points head start due to them being younger. The field was quite small, so a mate and myself got out of class earlier and extended the width of the field...

    The way I see it, is in the NRL those teams who are not from Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane are just making up the numbers. 3 premierships from those clubs in the last 28 years and none in the last 9 years proves my point. I also noted that most of the teams who are in the top 8 for spoon betting...

    I used to go in tipping comps at the TAB and Pub every year, but haven't done so for many years. I usually finished high up on the ladder and even won some or was placed, but I didn't like the bonus points for getting every tip correct of the round. I thought who ever tipped the most winners...

    The salary cap in the NRL is a farce as well.

    You don't have to follow soccer. I don't either, but I know that if one isn't coaching the likes of Man United, Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea or to a lesser extent Tottenham, they are not going to have any success, winning the Premier League or play Champions League. Some may get to play...

    Do you think West Ham, or Everton or Leeds coaches should have them improve and making the Champions league in a the next few years and if not, will it be their fault or will it be a case of they are coaching teams who don't make the Champions league, no matter who their coaches are? Do you...

    Does the truth hurt? I don't expect us to make the top 8 this year. I am a bit more hopeful about next year. The bookies have us favourite or second favourite for the spoon. What do you think that does for team morale and do you think it is a culture killer. I have said, put things into...

    What are you basing your expectations on of any improvement in the next decade? I can say the same thing about all the other non Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane based teams? I think Flanno was the best coach we could have signed. I would have also like Slater to have taken the job, but he didn't...

    Kyle Flanagan & the coach

    It is out of my hands and out of your hands, what team we have in 27 and how they perform. I have wanted a good team for the last 46 years, but we have only made the semis once since 2112. It is very demoralising and it must be the same for all the other non Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane fans...
