Never hidden my age, Bill was a legend when I was growing up, loved his music.
Whats up with the Dogs? Just scraped in with the field goal, if Dessie was the coach here there would be calls for his head.

If ever a team was hopeless with one player missing the Tigers would be that team.
Aaron Woods out and they are getting flogged.

Man, Alexanders voice sounds iike a poorly maintained chainsaw at best................................
He's the reason I watch 9HD for the games.
And the way he bags the Warriors like he only ever played for Penrith
Run_it_str8
He would go great in the Kiwis.
Rona might too.
But likely between Manu, Tui, Nightingale, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, SKD.

2014 seems like so long ago.
Madge needs to update the team's playing style as its bein out paced and even out muscled by the cows and horses. The rabbit toes seem to be playing the same structure as 2014, which was great.......for 2014.
I'd like to believe that the club wouldn't sack him so soon after their first premiership in a squillion years

Felt for the Titans... They probably deserved to win that one, courageous effort. Tyrone Roberts probably blew that game for them twice... Shocking decisions by that guy at the back end of the game.
The other thing out of that game - I was just reminded how fucking thankful I am to see the back of Friends dummy half service... Just shocking at bringing his forwards on to the ball. They look a different team when Mosely was controlling the ruck.

Mosely was tackling like Gubb.
They obviously don't practice setting up for field goals (drop kicks).
They even had no defensive structure for the dogs field goal setup.
It goes Klemmer hits it up as close to position as possible then holds the first marker after he plays the ball allowing their grubby inbred hillbilly cousin Cletus Reynolds to slot the winning one pointer.
The exact same play that ended the dragons season last year.

Kiwi bad boy Addin Fonua Blake to make his NRL debut from the Manly bench.
Be watching him with a bit of interest.

No sympathy for those who can't nail a Field Goal. We've had golden point games for 15 years, it's not hard to set up a standard play for a field goal.
Work out where to get tackled, who the dummy half is, who the kicking options are, where they stand, how far back, where your "blockers" are. Practice this for just 5 minutes and suddenly hitting them will become easier.

I reckon the Wooden Spoon will be won by either Souths or West Tigers
Souths where foolish to basically gut their team of good & promising players, just so
they could afford Sam Burgess, who in my books can be a real Grub on the field.
We saw that evidence during the Broncos game this week.. Frustration got to him
and he took it out on some of the Broncos players.
West Tigers have Farrah. Farrah has so much bad influence in their team.
When Farrah was away, Tigers beat the Warriors and a couple of other good teams.
Newcastle will not get wooden spoon, because they know they are bad already, and will fight to get of the bottom
Parramatta will loose 10 points due to a past Salary cap issue, but current playing team
is good enough to avoid the spoon.

Re Golden point and Field Goals..
NRL needs to adopt the NFL way of playing Drawn games
NFL way of going in Overtime is the way.
Go Tampa Buccaneers!!!
And I hope NZers get that Male TV channel like Australia's CH7 Mate.
During NFL season its awesome.. Live NFL

I don't have sympathy for sides that can't set up for a field goal it's the sides that setup correctly and get punished due to the offside line being a guideline when it comes to field goal time being my main concern. It's unfortunate that the refs get criticised so much that they don't want to determine the game when 2-3 guys are offside and sprint out of the line to stop the drop goal; a couple of justified penalties would be good to see. When the media/commentators complain there should be enough countering well they were offside.
The other sides that get the wrong person into dummy half for the field goal pass or one player goes off script makes you wonder how often they practice a field goal set.

I saw an article recently that Taylor was calling the players to see how much support he had from the players. Sounds like someone in a classroom running around to see if he has enough votes to be the guy in charge of dishing out the flavoured milk at lunch time.
For Cleary its an interesting decision as a coach wanting a job you most likely going to go to a club that needs work. So to start with it will be tough and you need to ride out that period if the club has enough patience. He could be in for a period like Ricky Stuart coming in trying to rebuild clubs where if it doesn't work he could be moving around a bit until he gets a club with patience to see out the rebuild.
