NSW Cup/ Jake Arthur

Any reason why Jake wasn't available for Cup today ?

It would make sense to aid his development playing at that level considering he missed 2020 and player about 5 games in 2022. 

Having the 5 game NSW Cup veteran stifle the heck out of our attack or s

Most impressive and disappointing: Round 2 v Cronulla - Redo

Ok so upon marinating on it, i have reworked this list. Put it this way, both teams were average last night, Cronulla simply wanted it more, when Mahoney crossed over we went into preserve the lead mentality. For a team with top 4 expectations and ex

Fears for Canberra Raiders star Josh Hodgson's knee

I don't have a subscription but it seems the writer is insinuating that Hodgson's knee is

Billie Walters is sitting on the bench in 17

I have to eat my words. I said, "show me another side who carrys a half on their bench".

Lo and behold the Broncos are carrying a half on their bench. He's also the Coach's son!!
It seems that having your halfback son on the bench is becoming a trend

Presser, why are they smiling?

Sorry for the added posts but this irritated me. I understand Football is not be all and end all, it is normal and healthy for coaches and players in win, lose or draw to unwind after to get mind off things and have a laugh.

But why do i see on the th

Fergo

Hey all,

Dont usually post much but just read that Fergo will be looking to return the NRL after the shite in Japan. I know its a big if but would we look at him considering the casualty we have with wingers ATM. 

Only asking as people on here want Sim

Why I happy we lost.

I was hoping that we start this year not the best look scrappy and not shoot out of the gates so early. In seasons past we be 5-0 1st on ladder and slowly fade out. I know this team can beat anyone when we are on and I think that starting off below o

Parra are Poorly Coached

Seriously, good completion rate but disgraceful attacking and ordinary defence and giving away really dumb penalties! I am yet to understand Brad Arthur's selection of players particularly the bench and his rotation of the bench. I cannot honestly se

Round 2 changes, if any. Big game for NSW cup on Sunday

BA is not one for reactionary changes, he usually sticks to squads for a week or two past poor losing performance. Though no injuries and no players returning, do we expect any changes next week? Well JA could make way, same with maybe Stone but it c

R2 v Sharks: Impossible Things  

In Lewis Carroll’s (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898)) Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871), the sequel to his Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865), Carroll sends Alice into a mirror image of the real world. This mirro

Correct 'Play The Ball'

Refs, Bunker and NRL not penalising thisincorrect action anymore? ..... or since Round 1, 2022 ??

EELS MAJOR FLAW EXPOSED AGAIN

unlike their opening round clash with the Titans, an underperforming Eels side failed to get the job done at the death and it is clear Brad Arthur’s side have some major work to do on their defence if they want to win the premiership.

The Sharks domin

Positives from tonight?

Thought we were clunky, in defence and attack. Waqa was good, in both aspects, Kafusi was not as dominant as I thought? Your thoughts???

2018 Vibes

Tonight was only 1 loss and I'm not one to overreact, but does anyone else smell a little 2018 season in the air?

Coming off a big trial win and with a lot of talk about being a contender our opening 2 games have been very laclustre. Our attack unimag

Late Mail v Sharks

Bryce Cartwright out of the side. Jakob Arthur on the bench. No other changes  

Most impressive list I will re-upload

Upon a good comment from Poppa, i have decided it is better for me to do these blogs after perhaps a few hours after the game instead of straight away, my mind spins too much after a game and things come to my head later as a rethink things and rewat

Eels vs Sharks - Who Wins - Score - MOM

Who wins today between Eels vs Sharks? What will the score be? and who will be Man of the Match?

1 - Eels to win.

2 - Eels 34 - Sharks 10

3 - Man of Match - Mitch Moses

Typical Parra loss

I knew sharks would score to win the game , called it with 15 to go. Dissapointing 

Worrying signs

It's 1 loss the sky isn't falling I'm sure this will get lost amongst the many blogs after a loss but here goes.

2 games we have been out played against the Titian's we got a few penalties to get us out of trouble.

In each game we had plenty of time in
