"Poppa, I know you get frustrated with this lot on the forum. I'm a couple of decades behind you but, I'm approaching 50 and I'm finding myself suffering fools less and less lightly."
"Well said Carlos. I'm so over folks on this forum pissing on Gutho. He was a warrior for us and his moving on was timely.
That's not a criticism of him or us as a club."

"Couldn't agree more. That's changed the entire landscape of the game and some rosters weren't built for a last minute rule change by ’Rubga League’ and his apprentice, ’Yah’.

"Highly doubt they sign Fletcher. Between Fletcher and Sanders in SG ball we had Brettle in 2024. He playing halfback with Renzo at 6. Storm signed him the following year and he guided Storm to win JF last year. Pretty sure they rather keep…"
"He's been in awesome form this year. I doubt he will keep it up, but he will be getting much bigger offers than he would have this time last year. I think he's worth $600k but he could get offers of $800k or more."
"He can backflip all he likes, as long as he doesn't end up here."
"They are stupid for not playing Gutho at 5/8. They lack a genuine playmaker with smarts.

Dragons are a shit show.The Dragons have a bigger problem than chopping the Head Coach. Players are taking no accountability. Val Holmes should slap himself across the head.

"3. Everyone.
Everyone dug in and fought hard. Even Brian Kelly had a good game and was busy. Set up a nice try for Joash.
Can we have the Parra Old boys honoured every game?"

"Totally agree about the ref. He let the teams determine the outcome. Well done!"
"Yep, 2 great moments LB.
Nanva was holding onto Tracey for dear life, and Pryor only just got Xerri before he was away... exactly the type of thing you want to see from your rookies! "

Spot the difference. Also if you want to see what a true champion looks like - note what the champion is doing while everyone else is celebrating. This person celebrates with championships.

Credit where credit due
I have been very critical of our team last week but to win despite all injuries against a top 4 team is impressive. Seen we have DNA that something to proud of.

Cannot see why not, but unfortunately the battling line looks as fragile as poppa's hips!lol it appears it could be a tough summer
Nothing wrong with my hips Mickey. It what hangs off them thats a bit wobbly!
Please no pics pop's!lol Keep it PG.
In the absence of 'experts' in the field I'd think the batsmen at the top of the order need to book a bulk visit to a good shrink. The fog and uncertainty need to expelled so they can play once again assured. Only Travis, Marsh and Carey are currently mentally fit to play a role in the test team. India has a dynamic bowling group, but they're aided large by the meek effort of some of our batters.
Hope you're right Mick, I always look to our cricket team to take my mind away from the o'rf season. If there's no bounce back from them, my only back-up is the Thunder.
Yeah RJ, cricket is a great game takes our minds off footy for while but now its seems NRL is 365 day business - all it takes is a great knock or great partnership and it can turn a series
They need a talk from Steve Waugh. Learn what it takes for the mental disintegration of your opponents. To do that, you have to be completely switched on and focussed yourself.
The lack of red ball cricket has also not helped. Where is the Sheffield Shield? That's supposed to produce Test Cricketers, but all we have seen is T20 and a few one-dayers.
Team overall is getting too old and the current state of Shield cricket is uninspiring.
We are on the decline, unless a few unexpected youngsters jump out of the ground.
The bowlers tend to be pretty good game to game but the batters (ex Head) are basically flat track bullies.
Khawaja (38) should be pensioned off. Labuschagne (30) is hopelessly out of form. Smith (35) seems to be past it. Starc (34) is all over the shop innings to innings. Lyon (37) is not ever going to do a Warne and rip thru a team. Hazlewood (33) is good but he is no McGrath. Cummins (31) is inconsistent but generally good.
We miss Green but also need a genuine bowling all-rounder who can be our Flintoff, Pollock etc. I thought Cummins might turn into that but his batting is getting worse.
My opinion only and I am sure others will have different thoughts.
Have to agree with everything you've said Badger. Depressing but true. Also we can't continually bowl using the seam while the blokes from the Sub-Continent excell in that manner.
