One on one strip rule

They need to get rid of the one on one strip rule. It's become rediculous and it destroys the momentum of the game. 

If they are not careful it has the potential to ruin the free flowing style of the game with players becoming more concerned with just

30th man

Total radio silence coming from the transfer front.

Will Waqa Blake be signing or someone else?

Losing MJ until round 21 is a big blow as we're shallow for good centre options. OK there's Ethan Parry but he's nothing more than a project. After that it'

The importance of winning the forwards battle.

We all saw how QLD got on top of NSW after they started bashing the NSW pack on about the 30th min mark in game 1.

Again we saw the intent the NSW pack this time with Maloney, Cook and Teddy running amok after good forward metres and quick play the ba

The need for balance

If there's one thing the best sporting sides have, it's balance. In any sport, a well-balanced team is going to perform well consistently over a side with one or two brilliant players and the rest being mediocre.

In Rugby, you see it in the All Black

Getting out of trouble -Tactics

We've seen numerous times this year, our defence under the pump pretty much on the goal line, managing to take possession after a couple sets of brave defending, we take 4-5 hit ups in the middle third and then followed by a hail mary with MM kicking

Maika Sivo- The Revelation

What a find he has been. Kudos to BA for that. The Panthers must be kicking themselves for having him stolen from under their noses.

He does remind us of Semi and like Semi destructive running wingers are greatly sort. If I'm not mistaken we've signed

Match Report: Eels vs Brisbane

BA Finally Picked The Right Team

It wasn’t surprising to see our best performance of the season without our weakest players:

• Tepai Moeroa 
• Brad Takairaingi
• Will Smith 
• Daniel Alvaro

These players have consistently shown that they are not first grade players. It’s good to see that Brad Ar

Cleary

Watching the panthers tonight it's hard to see why Nathan cleary was ever picked for origin. He was a passenger to maloney who I believe would be an improvement in selection for origin. Maloney was the half putting the right kicks in and taking contr

Analysis Of Tepai Moeroa

At just 18 years of age Tepai Moeroa burst on to the scene in 2014. A hard-hitting, hard-running, future NRL great it seemed. It's been 5 years and we are still yet to see anything close to him reaching his once massive potential. In my opinion his a
