This is true and has been for a long time, yet I find Illawarra are rarely acknowledged in NRL circles these days. The narrative is all St George, the history of the Big Red V yadda, yadda.
I guess so, still a dumb move considering they were building something. Worry about next year later in the season and keep the working combos now while we still have a chance at winning a few games. These guys played together at Penrith and were pretty good. Naden is a better centre than...
Before Saturday’s game everyone was commenting on the good combo Staines and Naden were building, then Benji moved Naden to the wing. It was a really bad move in hindsight and after one shocker everyone is calling for Naden’s sacking. Why not just put them back in the positions where they were...
The last sentence has been said time and time again, but also time and time again we see many of those players in the top 17 of other teams once they’ve made the switch. The players in our team are capable, but they somehow suddenly become incapable once they are in this club. I don’t understand...
This happens every year and every year some people on here get so excited and post things like “there’s something different about the team this season, we’re a team on the up” lol.
Yes there is, but they have forgotten how to win. Spoon is ours for sure, I can’t see this mob winning another game this season unless an opposing side has a really off day when we play them, like Cronulla earlier in the season. Please remind me of this post at the end of the season if I’m wrong.
We never seem get a fair shake from anyone! How many fair shakes have we had from Sutton? Or Atkins or Klein? The latter particularly in the bunker where he surely has to be knocking back schooners, because no one would make the decisions he often makes sober. The NRL hasn’t had a competent...
The Broncos turned their fortunes around within about 18 months, we’ve been trying to do that for over a decade. There is no comparison, we are a world away from clubs like the Broncos.
The modern state of play in the NRL seems to have surpassed the Wests Tigers. I can’t understand why a myriad of people can’t turn us into a competitive football team, even for just one season, despite the many attempts to do so. It’s beyond all reasonable understanding and it’s beyond my...
The bunker is usually our greatest enemy, moreso than the ref on the field most times. Maybe she’ll have some compassion for us since her husband worked for us, maybe not. Either way if anything goes up to the bunker, and most things usually do, just know the decision will go against us...
It’s hard to believe that in such a short time, one off season, we’re now staring down the barrel at being smashed by the team that really performed worse than us in many ways, last season. We’re talking about their lethal backline like it’s the Broncos or Penrith or Roosters. They bought...
For Richardson, at least, the on-field performance is improving. “[On-field] was the easy part,” he says. “This is the hard part.”
Yeah…nah, I don’t think so.
