"1) don't hate or love it. As long as there's no delay waiting for coaches orders for kick or receive I'm not overly against it.
2) not the biggest fan. It'll see players play 18-19th man over several weeks and get no game time for nrl or cup. …"

"So what if parra are down 16-12 with 3 to go we score covert but opposition wants ball back. They kick a 2pt field goal to goal into golden point. Fucking stupid rule. Watch the blowups in the pressers....horse man needs to fuck off he will ruin the…"

"1 i really like, - Teams can sometimes keep the ball for 15 minutes and kill the opposition with fatigue In the NFL scoring teams have always kicked off, it makes more sense

"Captain this is an interesting one. Will teams forced to kick off after scoring start to kick short more often? From memory the short drop outs are close to 50/50 now."
"Also, not a big issue just awkward if you name a debutant on the bench but there is a chance they might not get on the field if there is an injury in a spot like backline.
Like imagine that hahah, here you go mate you might debut off the bench."

"That's the thing it will be hard in certain areas. Firstly as you mention do the 18th and 19th men need to sit out of NSW cup? If so that's not good for development if they aren't playing most weeks. Coaches wouldn't want to play someone like Joash…"

"Do you think these extras will back up from reserve grade or be fresh?
If fresh, will clubs now need more halves etc? Can't see many just in case halves playing much if they are just bench warmers. Still a few questions to be had I think."

ANY MORE SIGNINGS???
I've been frustrated recently about the work we have been doing in the open market. Jonah's alright for a year and JDB is solid but he's getting old. I feel we need more in the forwards and some a replacement outside back. All I have seen is links…

Let's Ask !!
I find myself sitting around watching the cricket after the Christmas Festivities, and I'm stewing on the perception that we are missing out on real talent that our coach wants, and missing out with way too much regularity and consistency. The…

Mick and Peter Mortimer sat directly behind me at the 09 grand final, absolutely top shelf bloke, they were both very pleasant and quite happy to chat.
This man "THE CROW" is my all time fav EEL. When I played rep league as a youngster I tried to mould my gam and goal kicking around him
Very classy player and man 👏🏻👏🏻👊😎
Theres the carlo kiss of death right there.
Mick, please be safe in the next few days/weeks.
😆😆😆 far out lol
Bit overrated though, wouldnt want him kicking a goal to save your life.
Wouldnt want him coaching to save your life either

i was just throwing out a few crumbs HKF, looking for a nibble
Nice one Garry, good to see you got out ok, rumoured to be a few bodies buried under the Gerringong.
