"Maybe we can hand Matto over to the Warriors for Barnett? I mean, NZ is such a lovely place, Melbourne is, well, Melbourne...Matto can learn how to do the Haka as well."
"Coryn, I thought the first half against the Chooks was also a really good indicator. Chooks scored four tries:
1) Iongi spilled a bomb
2) Simmonson spilled a bomb. Though (mainly) Paulo did not get into marker, allowing the Chooks dummy half to…"

"Adnan, I guess we all hoped that because Ryles came out of the Storm coaching system, he might bring the round one magic sponge. Then there was R1 of 2025, so, um, maybe not. Second time is a charm?"
"Blue Eel, I suspect it is Moses' organizational skills at issue? Of course he runs the attack, but Moses at 3-in defensively has become very solid in contact and he is quick enough to cover the out the back runner, but all the while you can hear him…"

"Acme, so long as the Eels don't come out still in holiday mode ala 2025 R1, they're in with a shot"
"LB, it will be interesting to see what the Eels do if they manage to generate fast ruck speed. Based on back end of 2025, and the two trials games, the Eels might try to flood through the middle third, short passing amongst forwards, rather than…"
"No clear standout in this one. Should be an interesting result."
"You didn't watch many games last year if you think we were the only ones penalised for the roll play the ball."
"Richard, according to the Rugby League Eye Test, 24% of Storm tries in 2024-2025 involved a kick (second only to Boncos at 29%). For the Eels, only 12% of their tries in 2024-2025 involved a kick (lowest of all teams). Of course this low percentage…"
"To be fair, no one tried to force him out. Melbourne put an offer on the table and he knocked it back."
"Mallee, given the Eels play Storm, Broncos, Dragons and Panthers in their first four games, I'll take even 1+ in any of them"
"Agreed, Coryn. Unless Eels stop the Storm roll on, Grant will create points through the middle, while Hughes and Munster will create breaks on the edges. We know these things because if anyone caught any of the footy shows this week, all of the…"
"Vaealiki was a very underrated player. Him and the smiling assassin (Inu) would be great. As would Tahu.
IMO Smith was better as a second rower.
Can't pick Lyon. He was good for us but his best days were at the other mob. "

Great we won the battle but not the war
Watch all the 6 agains, missed penalties and dodgy calls we get against us (more than usual). NRL will set an example of us to all clubs not to try and air the dirty laundry.

There is no doubt he is a phenomenon. Averages 64, which is second only to the Don. And the most unusual thing about him is the way he bats, which defies modern techniques.
Here is an interesting bit of trivia for you. He has now scored 6 ashes hundreds in England. No England player has ever scored that many in England.
When you take out the first dozen or so tests when he was actually selected as a bowler his average is in the 80 plus area.
Who is he?
LOL
He's definately special. Teams just can't find a way to get him out.
His technique is not in the cricketing books. Neither was Bradman's though.
Watched his whole innings last night/early this morning and his technique and mental fortitude is right outside of the ordinary. Nothing flamboyant about him, just goes on with his business and rarely faiis.
He came into this season having miseed the first 7 months due to suspension and in a few months became the number 1 scoring batsman in the world of test cricket.
FMD, a 7 months handicap given to all test cricketers and he is now starting to blow them all out of the water, and all this after being terribly knocked out in the 2nd test and not playing in the 3rd test.
FMD. Just wow, wow, wow, wowwwwwwwwww.
Exactly Snake. I think Smith is the best batsman we've had since Bradman. Bats outside the box. So skilled, yet eccentric and unothodox.
Didn't expect it when I first saw him play. Looked awkward at first.
I must admit I was a huge fan of the Great West Indian top 3. Greenidge, Hayne, and Viv.
Viv Richards is one of my all time favourite batsman. He was the gum-chewing King Of The Jungle. Never even wore a helmet. Oozed confidence, skill and domination.
No idea who he is , but if he wears New Balance he better stay the fuck away from my kids .
Weak lilly livered piece of SHIT! and now we call him a hero.
No wonder this country is fuct.
There for his own glory and pay packet.
Bit like the NRL putting the wife bashers up as the game's heroes.
