Wonder if AFB regrets his move. At the wahs, he wasn't just a middle, he was central to many of our attacking plays. Sharks don't seem to value him in that same capacity.

Depends on if the wife is generating more revenue from brownies

 

[CWC]

Glad we didn’t sign Hazelton, a perfect example of going from hero to zero

Certain match winning try cut down by Galvin, followed by a brain fart strip in front of his own goal during golden point, when nobody from the other team has kicked a field goal ever

 

[Canonball]

I know they need to watch out for each other's safety, but the refs are OTT with all these sin binnings.
They trying to break the game, which was flowing really well to start the season.

It's got to stop - the often incidental, accidental, and ineffectual shoulder or forearm to the head region is not worthy of a bin - penalise if you have to but the bin business is killing the game - and somehow they managed not to get two of the worst incidents as well, i.e. Tupouniua with his two knees and Burton on Walters - which makes a mockery of the crackdown - shit's fucked up

doesn't seem to be in the conversation for SoO but surely be better than Jurbo getting 15 - 20 minutes a game

He must be a fit bugger playing 80 minutes in the middle every week

May & Haas have to be the NSW props with Barney off the bench.
Just love how May keeps sticking it to Robbo by playing well.

yup and add Spencer Leniu to the bench also. That would be my four props for Origin 1

Didn't he run a marathon in the off season? Or train for a marathon?

I've heard this about a player on a few podcasts and am pretty sure it was May.

Wow the ceo went on 360 for damage control and denied any crackdowns and blamed players for high tackles over the year, throws bunker under the bus

Promise they will be better this weekend

Some idiots clearly told the refs to crackdown a few weeks ago, I bet it took them 2 weeks to write up a report with ChatGPT and the same idiots made up recommendations to the refs and we saw how it unfolded in the weekend

Here's the kicker for me.

They demote Liam Kennedy into the bunker for poor onfield performance, right? And yet the bunker can override the onfield refs....

How does that make sense?

Didn't they literally write to all 17 clubs telling them they were going to crack down on it?

This is where piss weak Annesley is not a good head of referees. There is no clear directions and when it turns to shit they throw the refs under the bus

 

[John Nick]

Don't forget that these crackdowns for whatever reason have been going on long before Annersley and PVL have been around. Happens around this time every year.
Usually around the PTB. Not square at marker or foot on the ball or honest attempt ? Or decoys
Now high tackles and everyone is surprised
Clubs are advised and players know
As usual next week or two back to normal

 

[CWC]

You can report and lock links now? Where did the link lead to?

[CWC]

They named Wade Egan and Korosai etc on 360 when discussing Bears recruitment, hands off

Don't worry mate. There's a lot of that going around here. I sure they'll find a cure.
