Matthew Johns shows his class.

Matt wrote an acorticle this morning in the Telegraph titled "A PUNCHY NSW REPLY."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   He covered Madge's dig at Slater and then went on to surprise with his insight of the coming duel between the centres in the upcoming origin. Have a look.

  • Sorry guys just had a visit from an electrician to do a replacement wall socket so the power had to be stopped for 10 minutes. The appeal of the story was not just Johns knowledge of the intricasies of the match-ups but the picturres he painted in your mind of the skirmishes to come. Matt has just elevated himself to a higher level in my mind.

  • Definitely a classy guy, always brings wipes to a GB.

"Bullshit EA, this site has never relentlessly over-crucified our 5/8th for absolutely miniscule mistakes.
As long as Lorenzo 'stands up' and wins us this game singlehandidly, he has nothing to worry about."

Hope you are right, Lurker. Will be good to see Lorenzo play, we are going to have to be very patient to EA's point, but, lets hope he can show enough to hold the spot…"

"I think so Ron. Seems strange putting Volkman in who hasn’t set the world on fire in reserve grade,  whilst Lorenzo is seen by the club as a future first grader, otherwise why sign him until 2028?
It has to be Lorenzo to show if he can do the job…"

New trend I’ve noticed

Have noticed most of the good nrl sides currently (Definitely not us) are taking advantage of the new blocking rules and just putting up bombs to end every set with good pressure forcing errors. We have no athletes to chase the kicks or pressure so…
