Knights have the dropsies opening the door and asking the rabbits to walk through

I think Sami will be ok, Holmes and Gutho will be our major problem.

If they collapse it will be the second time, I think they had a huge lead against the Roosters and threw it away

After 2027 it wont be a problem, but here we go again waiting for another year.

It's very sad, here we are halfway through this season and now we are talking about the year after next.

oh well, it took an ex Dragons player that cost the Bunnies the game, a perfect V'landy's ball game.

Absolutely agree this season is more like watching touch football. The speed, the fatigue it causes, the injuries it has caused has left us traditionalists unimpressed. They were even talking about in today's paper if there is any place for a traditional big bopper prop in today's game. Now that's sad in my books

Yes, Euan Aitken. Was under no real pressure and drops it cold. You just cannot afford to make mistakes like he did as the opposition invariably takes advantage and that happened. Our guys do it all of the time. Easy for me to say I know but it happens to the best of players. If we are mistake free next week against the Knights, that would be our only chance of maybe winning.

V'landy's ball and his little South African squire. It doesn't reward good attack, it rewards poor attack. Get the ball near the line and all they have to do is keep running at the line until backpedaling defence either cracks or gives away another 6 again. Why does this pair of idiots keep tinkering with the rules? Why do we need a fuking Boer telling us how to run the game in Aus?!

I would be very surprised if the error rate wasn't up, 25 in that particular game

It doesn't help when you have the commentators saying what an exciting game it is and entertaining. I even said it was a good game to watch, but it is ridiculous how things have become.

Says a lot about the players we have, we havent scored more than 20 points per game all season. Thanks Flanno for recruiting the slugs you did, cheers

To me the best the game looked was 2018 .... The refs in the early rounds actually blew penalties .. it was tough the first few weeks but teams after a few weeks started to learn the rules again ...
Then because teams like the storm/broncos failed to adapt as well to the actual rules of the game, the refs caved and started to over correct the other way resulting in 2020s decision to implement the 6 again.

The very fabric of rugby league is quickly disappearing. With the way rugby league is played now, there is basically no room for 'big boppers' anymore. The classic bookend prop is very unlikely to succeed UNLESS he's a freak athlete who is able ti keep up with the demands of the sport.
I also hate the fake concern for player injury. All this talk of HIA and hip drops are just for show. Half the tackles that get players suspended for 3+ games are shown to promote the game for Vegas. It's also very difficult to not fall on the back of a players legs when you spend most of your time defending barely able to keep onside.
Not to mention the increasing number of non-contact injuries that we're seeing.
Thanks V'landys.
