"Parramatta reserves last week had 60% of the ball yet had a 9 to 1 penalty count against them. So it is beginning to show a pattern. Either poor discipline or ther refs simply hate us."

"You are right but by the very nature of the game, NRL is so subjective on the personal whims of the referee. 
It's very ripe for corruption that's for sure. 
How to you fix it ? You can't, without slowing the game down so much that it becomes NFL.…"

NRL Charges

What does it take to be sent off. A classic from last nights game is the tackle on Lane verses Sivo. Sivo a fine and the 2 Manly players get 2 weeks each. How does Parramatta benefit from this? The teams advantaged are the teams Manly play over the next week and the team disadvantaged is Parramatta. Cleary Sivo was dumb but should not have been binned. Also Penisini should not have been binned because Turbo was in front of the kicker. Brown was also called not square when clearly he was square.…

The real truth - what next ?

The hidden truth was that last night's improvement was due to bounce back after the embarrassing Darwin thrashing. Exactly the same with the Canberra thrashing followed by the NQ effort. These types of collective mental based team efforts are not sustainable for more than a week or two. Top teams aren't built on emotion alone That's the reality. Comps are won out of well drilled defence, talent in key positions and smart coaching.BA's chase the collision emotionally charged game plans are…

Hidden Truth

As we go 3 and 5 with a Bye / Brisbane / Melbourne / Bunnys and the Sharks coming up, all logic dictates that we could quite easily find ourselves rooted to the bottom of the League table. Our season in shambles, the volcanic pressure to replace the coach mid season will heat up like never before.  Last night with only a  72% completion rate, literally a dropped ball every 3rd set. The terrible service that our dummy half provided at times, the goal kicking accuracy of under 8's, the loss of an…

Mediocre

Something I've just realised and been dealing with lately is how many fans are happy with this club putting out sub par performances or worse. Constantly finding excuses for results for the team loss and so on. I've backed BA for 10 years solid, had some massive run ins about it over that time on this site. Before now been happy to be a unicorn, it nearly came off a few years ago when we made the grand final. But typically like parra we folded and crumbled. We haven't played one decent game…

SELF SABOTAGE - copy and paste

Have you ever seen a man accidentally but repeatedly kick himself in the balls? It’s really hard. Welcome to the Eels squad. The dumbest team in the league. Self inflicted dumbness cost us again. Errors, ill discipline, stupid plays, stupid penalties, stupid defensive reads blah, blah, usual Eels shit. Second week we have self sabotaged a half time lead. I'm sorry, but we are no way near winning a premiership. Side note- fuck I hate DCE and his dickhead looking face. And how annoying is the…

NRL admits bunker got it wrong on roosters obstruction call

Graham Annesley has conceded a controversial obstruction call that cost Roosters star Joey Manu a fair try against the Panthers was wrong. The NRL head of football has wasted no time conceding that video referee Chris Butler failed to use the necessary level of discretion in incorrectly deeming that Panthers fullback Dylan Edwards was obstructed from defending the no-try due to a collision with Roosters decoy runner Jared Waerea-Hargreaves. The alleged obstruction from Waerea-Hargreaves on…

Nuclear Power a Balanced View

I previously wrote a blog on the subject of nuclear power.Professor Daz basically took my comments apart and justifiably so as I had nowhere near the knowledge or research capacity to lay a factual basis for the proliferation of nuclear power other than a view I privately held via an economist friend of mineI receive a lot of economic commentary and a newsletter I receive from another economist paints what I believe to be a more balanced view of the discussion. I say this because Daz pointed…
