Says the person with 4+ pseudonyms.

And yet Lobb ran down Alan Fitzgibbon comfortably last week, with those massive strides of his.

Not quite what he said. He said he could understand both sides of the argument and when you apply the interpretation to this particular incident, you could come up with an argument either way. Annesley made the point that these rules were introduced to remove howlers that were not addressed by...

Also the Api no-try - if that is the current rule interpretation then it needs to be changed. I originally thought the "separation" interpretation made sense in respect to attempts to ground kicks, i.e. you shouldn't lose contact with a footy in the act of grounding a loose ball (it makes it a...

I found it a hard game to judge. I thought the margin flattered Broncos and I thought Tigers were competitive, it's just in key moments their best players break the game open and ours do not. I liked the Tigers' line speed and its one of the things Benji and Bomber have clearly worked on this...

No he can't. Haas is a freak, he has the motor of a Hindmarsh and the power of an AFB. Stefano will never have that kind of staying power, he just needs more support because he's our only power prop. The other props are lumberers. I have been wondering whether Benji could try Pole and Stef as...

How do you know we didn't make an offer? If Lomax is so good, why are St George letting him go early? There must be an underlying issue and there are 15 other clubs also not signing or having signed Lomax this 2024. You make an amazing number of assumptions here, no wonder you are so defeatist.

Pretty disjointed in attack, even with Brooks finally gone. Almost like a club-wide disease.

I agree - so far 2024, when "bad" has not been as bad as previous years. I haven't seen the team drop its head yet; we are very willing in the first half and not giving up silly concentration points either side of half-time. The line speed is improved and the effort in defence is much better...

I don't see a lack of effort at all - he's always present where the ball is, always attempting decent line speed. He just doesn't seem to pick his moments properly, like he's half a step behind the game every week. So he'll pull off a really nice tackle early in the set, then find himself on...

Even someone like Francis Molo has stepped up a gear, he was pretty impressive in the opening salvos. Personally I wonder if this might be short-lived for the Dragons, with some ordinary footballers being pushed to perform at a higher level. For example, realistically how long does Moses Suli...

What are those?

Tries Sorry it's a pet peeve

Pretty wild, I didn't think he had a kicking game in him, but his boot is enormous.

Agree but still have to defend those ones. If a bad ref's call causes you to let in two tries, you aren't going to trouble the Top 8.
