    Recruitment Talk

    Keaon back to his usual best the other night with a 250+ metre game, and Phil Sami once again cracking the 200m mark. Given the fact they finally lost a game, and goalkicking was a factor in the loss, might see Webster bite the bullet and reinstate Metcalf next week

    Anyone else read the article in the Financial Review eviscerating Twiggy Forrest? Brutal. I'd be very happy to see his company removed from our jerseys

    Coach from 2027

    This is quite different from your "failing to be employed as a head coach" point though. Young could probably comfortably answer both of these questions given his appointments at Tonga and NSW. His fluffy interview on 100% Footy last week covers this

    Coach from 2027

    I hate to play Dean's advocate once again, but, this is a minor concern at best surely. Other clubs are just as capable as we are of making bad choices, we should not be overly influenced by what they do or don't do. Plus, Young is still only 42. Typically the only coaches appointed to head...

    Coach from 2027

    I'd like to see a citation or two here. Recent coaches sacked mid-season: Brad Arthur (eels). They were 14th when he was replaced in May. Finished 15th. Justin Holbrook (Titans). 9th when he was replaced in June. Finished 14th. Anthony Griffin (Dragons). 16th when he was replaced by Ryan Carr...

    Roosters went from the spoon in 2009 to leading 8-6 at half time in the 2010 grand final. We all know what happened in that second half babyyyyyyyy

    Round 14 v Sharks Sunday

    There was one moment from Flanagan in the second half that I enjoyed and want to see much more of. From a quick play the ball KF straightened and took Kerr to the line on his inside, Kerr got between the marker and A defender, and immediately offloaded back to Flanagan. This type of play is what...

    Round 13 v Broncos Sunday.

    S Flanagan's decision to have them switch sides for some reason was a bad bad mistake, but who could have predicted it? Except maybe *gestures around generally* LITERALLY EVERYONE Anyway, a very nice performance that is completely replicable - there's no reason they can't do it again and again...

    Representative games 2026

    It's a tough tip. Neither team have selected Dragons players so there are no obvious weaknesses. Laurie Daley's coaching is wooden spoon calibre though, and he was famously an assistant to Brownie back in the day.

    Round 13 v Broncos Sunday.

    Correct. The path to Zen is renunciation. In order to turn towards the future, we must completely turn away from the past. This season of utter on field dogshit has helped with that. That said, a win would be fuckin nice

    Round 13 v Broncos Sunday.

    I remember last year when Cook and Gutho scored from a genius little scrum play and everyone in the box turned to Ryan Carr and high-fived him. Back when we had the occasional flash of innovation and cleverness in attack. Anyway apparently Payne Haas is still not a chance of returning. Surely...
